Chilliwack city councilcandidates are, to vary-ing degrees, out in thecommuni t y shak ing

hands, knocking on doors, puttingup signs, distributing flyers andattending all-candidatesmeetings.But in this digital age, having an

online presence is critical to run-ning any business, organization orelection campaign.In amunicipal election, there are

those who place more importanceon old-fashioned door-knocking asopposed toTweets sent out. To that

end, candidate Dick Harringtonsaid he had hand-delivered 10,000flyers to different areas of Chilli-wack before Halloween.Jamie Billingham, a

local consultant special-izing in social media,says its not whether youare online and utilizingsocial media but ratherhow you are doing so.I think its important

to point out that its notthe presence or absenceof any of the tech orsocial media tools that is real-ly important, she told the Times.Whats important, in my view, is

that those who represent me, myneeds, my familys needs, in thiscommunity understand how criti-cal it is to connect with constitu-

ents.She says candidates

need to be where con-stituents want them to bein a way that builds confi-dence in them as leaders.Itsnot the tools, itswhat

they enable that matter[s].Social media enables dia-logue, discussion, openand transparent process,

and crowd-sourced knowledge andopinions that can better informgov-ernment at all levels.

Of the 20 candidates runningfor city council, the Times foundseven with websites dedicatedatleast in partto their campaignsand just eight candidates who areusingTwitter. (Gerry Goosen has anaccount but as ofMonday hadneverTweeted.) A number of candidatesare using Facebook, somewith dedi-cated campaign pages others withmessages onpersonal pages.Six candidatesSue Attrill, Chad

Eros, Jason Lum, Mitchell Nosko,Ken Popove and Chuck Stamhave both websites and Twitteraccounts.

The City of Chilliwacks newdraft plan for the EasternHillsides includes fewer thanone-third of the homes and resi-dents first envisioned for the areain 1994.At Tuesdays meeting, city coun-

cil was to be presented with thedraft plan, which has a projectedbuild-out of 1,700 homes for upto 4,000 people,according to ap re s s re l e a s eissued by city hallFriday afternoon.The Eastern

Hillsides is in thesoutheast of thecity, compris-ing an approxi-mately 1,340-hectare portion ofthe northern edge of the CascadeMountains.The 1994 plan for the Eastern

Hillsides envisioned up to 5,200homes for between 13,500 and17,000 people.But those higher numbers were

seen to be not viable because ofdifficult terrain and the expense ofinfrastructure.Unrelated to the downgrading of

projections, but still impossible to

Once thoughtto be futurehome for 17,000people, nowmore like 4,000

In the year since hundreds ofveterans marched in Chilliwackto demand better treatmentand changes to the governmentscompensation system, little haschanged, according to ClaudeLatulippe.The clawbacks and compensation

system is still a source of bitterness,says Latulippe, a retired RoyalCanadian Air Forces Captain, whodismissessomechangestohowlumpsumsarepaidoutaslip service.There was no improvement

there, he said. Since last year, therehasnt been much movement byour government to rectify the issueswere addressing.And so, on Saturday the veterans

will again hit the streets andmarchto the localMember of Parliaments(MPs) office. There, they will findone thing has changed. Last year,then-Chilliwack-Fraser CanyonMPChuckStrahl tookheatafterhe failedto appear at the protest. His seat inParliament has since been taken byhis son Mark, who has promisedthat he will be there Saturday to

address someof the concerns raisedby veterans.Latulippe hasmetwith Strahl and

said the MP promised to researchthe issue and address veteransconcerns.Whats he going to say? I dont

know, Latulippe told the Times,But its important that hes there.Strahl, though, will face a

tough crowd, and one that isknowledgeable and passionateabout a very complex issue.Latulippe said the veterans want

the government to: end deductionson the pensions of disabledveterans; endclawbacks topensionsonce veterans reach the age of 65;and to reform the system by whichveterans receive compensationfor their injuries, both mental andphysical.A lot of [veterans] have fallen

through the cracks and that issomething thatwecant lethappen.WithVeterans Affairs undergoing

millions of dollars of budgetarycuts, Latulippe said he felt littleprogress has been made sincethe Conservatives won a majoritygovernment earlier this year.We dropped a few rungs on the

ladder as far as priorities go, hesaid. The way thatVeterans AffairsCanada has beenworking, they willmaintain their jobs and they willkeep on getting their bonuses, butthe veterans will be treated like, iftheres anything left, buddy, youllget it.Latulippe is also angry that,

while the government fights a classaction lawsuit brought against itby thousands of veterans, VeteransAffairs Canada has been runningadvertisements that prominentlyfeature veterans.Theres a political game being

played, he said. The only thing wecan do is makeMr. Public aware ofsomeof the issues.The bottom line is, something

has to be done.We have to changethe governments thinking towardsthe veterans.

Principalsshufflingoff to newschools

BY CORNELIA [email protected]

The retirement of longtime Sardissecondary principal Bob Longin December will initiate majoradministrative changes at two Chilli-wack high schools in the new year.Effective Jan. 1, Diego Testa, who has

been the principal at G.W. Grahammid-dle-secondary school since it opened,will take up Longs post at Sardis.Certainly theyre huge shoes to fill,

said Testa. Bobs an amazing educatorand a very involved community mem-ber. Hes done some amazing things,and the schools a great place. Im look-ing forward to the challenge, but hes atough act to follow.Testa came to Chilli-

wack with seven yearso f admin i s t ra t i veexperience from theAbbotsford district tobecomeG.W.Grahamsfirst principal in 2006,and he said his feel-ings about leaving theschool aremixed.Change invigorates you and renews

you, he said, so Im really looking for-ward to that, but Im also very sad toleave this place . . . I think weve donesome amazing things here at this schooland, starting something from scratch,you get attached to it.Come Jan. 1, Testa will hand the reins

of the school over to Rosedale traditionalcommunity school and Cheam elemen-tary school principal ToddMcLean, whoTesta said will provide a fresh set ofeyes.Besides G.W. Graham, McLean will

also take overTestas current responsibil-ity as principal of Sto:lo alternate school.The position McLean will vacate at

Rosedale has yet to be filled, but parentsat that school met with district officialslast week to discuss the skills, characterand competencies they would like tosee in their new principal.

Longs retirementfrom Sardis setsoff domino effect

So how are the candidates doing?Some are doing very well, some OK, some

not so much, Billingham says. Jason Lumis the only one that I have found that had arelated digital footprint prior to [the elec-tion]. Chad Eros also has a solid footprintthat up till now related mostly to his musicalendeavours. It looks like both of themwill beinviting voters to get to know them and theirviews via their websites andblogs. Ken Popove also hasa dedicated website, Face-book page, Twitter profile.All are relatively new and hiswebsite doesnt link to hisother social media (yet) butat least hes willing to enterthe space.Billingham said that Chill-

iwack folks, as with others in cities similarin size, are not early adopters of technology.But she said that will change as social mediaenables a level of participation in governmentnot seen since human beings lived in tribes.In small, bounded tribes, decisions that

impacted the tribe were often made by theentire community, she said. In some ways

we are moving back to that possibility be-cause we now have technology that can con-nect our very large tribe.So does it really matter if a candidate is

tweeting or even online?Bil l ingham said that

social media, like traditionalmedia, is really just a set oftools, which can be used tocreate works of art, func-tional housing or break intoa bank. Its not the tools thatmatter its what they enable.Politicians need to be

able to communicate (listen, speak, respond)using a wide range of tools from traditionalto contemporary, she said. My hope is thatthe folks running for council who have setup websites and/or blogs and/or other socialmedia will keep them active post-election asa way of continuing to communicate, informand engage constituents.

Arebuilt ValleyhavenRetirement Commu-nity will provide bet-ter care for more patients,according to those presentfor Fridays official openingof the care home.After more than a year of

construction, the new Val-leyhaven was completed inthe spring at a cost of $16million. With all but one ofits 91 beds now filled, resi-dents, the buildings ownerand Chilliwacks MLAs allsay the new facility is a bigimprovement from the oldValleyhaven.Not taking anything away

from the old buildingitserved us well for a longtimebut the last time I wasin the building it was gettinga little long in the tooth, saidChilliwack-Hope MLA BarryPenner. Im very pleased tobe here today and see howmuch brighter and open thecommon areas are.The previous building

had been built by the Cityof Chilliwack in the 1960s.The new home has 26 morebeds with suites and roomsallocated to three differentneighbourhoods, eachwith its own kitchen diningarea and activity space.Valleyhaven was rede-

signed for a much morehomelike atmosphere, saidKevin Svoboda, who boughtValleyhaven in 2009 andoversaw construction. Itsone thing to build a newfacility but its another thingtomake it a home.The new facility also has

a wellness room, a generalstore, a hair salon and a bis-tro. Fraser Health contracts80 of the rooms, with theremaining 11 being privatelyfunded.Calling the home clean,

comfortable and digni-

fied, Chilliwack MLA JohnLes said the expanded carehome reflects a growingneed to care for seniors asCanadas population ages.There are a lot of people

my age who, 20 or 30 yearsfrom now, are going to needfacilities like this.Grace McDonald,

one of the first Val-leyhaven residentsto be transferredto the new build-ing, said of the newfacility: The food iswonderful and thecare is excellent.Most importantly, she

said, the facilitys staff pro-vided a high level of care toresidents.When you feel low, and

sometimes you need a hug,there is always someonewhowill hold your hand andgive you a hug.McDonald, 88, read a

poem called Miner on theMountain written by Val-leyhavens poetry group, ofwhich she is a member. Thepoem, about a person agingas he or she watches a min-er ply his trade on a nearbymountain, concludes:

Though my win-dow is newHere in the retire-

ment home, he is inviewThrough my bed-

room window in myprivate roomI l o o k a t t h e

moun t a i n e a chafternoonI smile to think of the good

times we hadThe memories, the laugh-

ter, mademe so gladAnd my dear old miner,

digging for gold,Who has been on the

mountain, since days ofold.

purchase the 42 homes forapproximately $18 million,80 per cent of their assessedvalue. Wehave learnedmanythingsaboutsustainabledevel-opment andbest practices forcommunity building, sincethe 1994 Eastern HillsidesArea Plan, said Mayor Sha-ronGaetz in the press release.New terms of reference andinput from residents form thebasis of our shared vision forthe future of the Eastern Hill-sideneighbourhood.The draft plan project-

ing just 4,000 people is evenlower than what was beingconsidered just eightmonthsago, but would provide a 30-year supply for a small, spe-cific segment of the housingmarket, according to a staffreport. In February, the cityheld an open house to talkabout the plan at which twoscenarioswere considered: anurban community of 12,500people or a niche marketwithhalf that number.

In 2000, a review on thedevelopment potential wasundertaken and, based onenvironmental protectionrequirements and servicingcosts, only 12 out of a poten-tial 29 developable areaswereidentified. That decreasedthe anticipated population toapproximately 6,900people.Since then, someland in the

lower, flatter slopes have beendeveloped but concern aboutthe clearing of land for suchhomes led the city to createhillside development guide-lines in 2008. A tree manage-ment bylawwas also adoptedin 2009.A public open house will

be held in early December.An Official Community Planamendment required toadopt the plan is anticipatedin early 2012.

Local mountain bikers whowere shocked when the Cityof Chilliwack flattened theSardis humps on Sheffield Waya year-and-a-half ago may see areplacement park built.But the proposed $200,000

parks location, particularly for

Sardis bikers, might be a bit of ashock too.At Tuesdays meeting, city

council was to consider paying$200,000 to design and build anewbike park at Island 22, a Fras-erValley Regional District (FVRD)park on the Fraser River.After the Sardis humpsalso

know as the westside jumpswere level led in June 2010

because of liability concerns onthe city-owned property, parksstaff looked for a new location.A thorough review of city-

owned properties was donebut no parcels matching thecriteria required by the city for abike jump site were identified,according to a staff report.FVRD staff were then asked

about the Island 22 site. The rec-

ommended proposal would seethe city pay for the site with theFVRD left responsible for theannual maintenance (estimatedat $10,000 per year) and supervi-sion of the site.But how the Island 22 location,

four kilometres north of Five Cor-ners and nine kilometres from thesiteof theSardishumps, is receivedby local riders is yet to be seen.

It took one year and 45 daysto build the Empire StateBuilding back in the early1930s. Thats about half as longas it takes to put in a roundaboutthese days.So I guess it should come as no

surprise that investigators expectit to take two years to finish lay-ing charges in the Stanley Cupriot. After all, this isnt your typicalinternationalmoney launderingoperation spanning half a dozencountries and numerous financialinstitutions.Were talking brokenwindows and stolen blue jeans.This is serious stuff.There was aVancouver riot

back in 1971; the Gastown Riot.Seventy-nine people were arrest-ed and 38 of themwere chargedin amatter of days. Heads wouldhave rolled if someone had daredsuggest it was going to take twoyears to wrap up the investiga-tion.But of course, these are dif-

ferent times.We now have sur-veillance cameras and facialrecognition technology.Knowledge acquisition has

never been easier. Entire librariesare available online. Documents,research reports, essays and com-pletemanuscripts can be down-loaded in seconds.Yet people aregraduating from high school withpoorer written communicationskills than at anytime since edu-

cation became compulsory.Whenmymother passed away

a while back and I was dealingwith her property I disposed ofthe same oven that was used inthe house I grew up in. It was inperfect working order and over 40years old. That was seven yearsago. Ive had to replacemy ownstove twice since then.But of course, these are differ-

ent times.We now have comput-ers in our stoves.Opponents of the federal

governments tough on crime leg-islation argue theres no need toreform the systembecause crimeis down 17 per cent from a decadeago.Thats probably correct. Itsalso up 130 per cent fromwhereit was in 1962.This is not unlikethe over-the-hill, punch-drunkprizefighter who is convinced heson the comeback trail because heonly got knocked down six timesin his last fight instead of the usualseven or eight.Not that long ago, a young

man couldnt wait to finishschool and start a career so he

could move into his own placeand tackle the world. Leaving thenest was a prerequisite to grow-ing up and becoming indepen-dent. Its now perfectly normalfor 30-year-olds to live in theirmoms basement and put offadulthood indefinitely.Across the country, and indeed

around the globe, were see-ing spinoffs of the OccupyWallStreet protests. It used to bepeople who were not satisfiedwith their economic situation inlife worked harder, got anotherjob or upgraded their skills andeducation tomake themselvesmore competitive. Now they sitin a park and blame the interna-tional financial community andglobal economic structure fortheir shortcomings and demandsomeone give themmoney.But of course, these are differ-

ent times.We now realize were allvictims of an oppressive state whoneed take no responsibility for ourcircumstances.I dont know that wewere any

smarter 40 or 50 years ago. I some-howdoubt it. But we sure did abetter job of taking care of our-selves and getting things done.

Lose-winoption forcandidatesI

n a little more than two weeks, Chilli-wack voters will elect seven peopleto sit as trustees for the ChilliwackSchool District. Meanwhile, 17 people

will find themselves on the outside look-ing in.By Nov. 19, election day, those 17 people

will have spentmore than amonth talk-ing about the importance of educationand their ability to improve the lot ofChilliwacks students. They will have com-mitted to attending regular meetings andsetting aside large portions of their lives inthe name of education. And yet, on Nov.20, 17men and womenwill suddenly findthemselves with time on their hands.Some, of course, are already active vol-

unteers, but let us suggest how the othersmight putting their drive to educated togood use.The Chilliwack Learning Community

Society needs volunteer tutors to workone-on-one with adult students to helpimprove reading, writing, math and com-puter skills.The number of jobs that one can obtain

and keep without the ability to read, dosimple arithmetic or use a computer israpidly diminishing. Those without suchskills face huge challenges finding andkeeping jobs, and performing day-to-daytasks. They are also unable to pass downliteracy skills to their children, whomayfind themselves in a similar situation.We would kindly suggest, then, that

those school board candidates who arenot elected take it upon themselves andvolunteer as literacy tutors. Or they canlend their skills, drive, and specializedknowledge to any one of the numerousother education-related programs inChilliwack.Unlike sitting on the school board, vol-

unteering doesnt pay. And youre unlikelyto get your name in the paper on a regularbasis. But volunteer, and youre likely toget back asmuch as you give. And, if youcan help guide someone towards literacy,the gift you give will change someones life.And howmany politicians can say that?

Editor:Re: Trustee wont be bullied,

Times,Oct. 27.Chair DougMcKay claims

in the article of Oct. 27that trustee Silvia Dyckscomments were not fullyaccurate and that they dontrepresent the opinions of theboard.I was in attendance at the

finance committeemeetingthat is being referred to andtrusteeDycks comments areprecisely what was discussedat thatmeeting.There areno inaccuracies in her state-ments. This was not an in-camerameeting.We haverules surrounding those.Weused to have partner groupssitting on this committee.In regard to representing

the board, this is a perplexingstatement because facts arefacts and truth is truth.Thechair represents the board atfunctions and in the signingof certain documents, how-ever, does not speak for theboard onmatters of opinion,especially when the boardwas never consulted.

If you want myvote, behave!Editor:Harrison Hot Springs

candidates, if youwantmyvote, stop all this childishbehaviour.Whenanswering the can-

didates questions sent by thelocal newspaper keep it shortand sweet. If you cannotwinthis electionon your ownmerits donot try andwinbydisrespecting other candi-dates.If youhavemade amistake

anddidnot fill in your candi-dacypapers correctly admitit, say youmade amistakeandwere sloppy.Weare allhumanbut donot takeusfor fools by comingupwithfeeble,weak excuses. Allquestionnaires are ambigu-ous but the other candidatesgot it right, donot tell theresidents that your businessdoesnotmakemoney.Why isit still being advertised?Make sure your facts are

correctwhen youhandoutyour candidate flyer.Haveyou checkedwith the villageoffice onhowmuch the SpiritSquare cost? I know itwasnot$10million . . . and I amnotrunning for council.To the candidateswhohave

kept out of thenegativity ofthis election, thank you.I am looking for five indi-

vidual candidateswho showintegrity, leadership andhavethe ability to sit downdiscussanddebate items that affectthe village andarrive hope-fully at a positive decision. Idonot vote for teamswhichtend to follow the leader andhaveno individual viewpointandwill not argue forwhat

they consider thebest for thevillage.Youhave twoweeks to con-

vincemeandother residentsthat you are thebest candi-date, so stop the silly argu-ments, blogs, and libelousflyers andwin this electiononyour ownmerits.

Respect theleash lawsEditor:To everyone who utilizes

the Rotary Trail along theVedder River, kudos to you.It has got to be one of themost beautiful places onearth to go for a stroll, ridea horse, ride a bike, walkthe dog or just sit and enjoynature.To the few that choose

to walk the dog off leashplease be aware your dogmay very well be the calmestand sweetest little thing butwhen you pass by anotherthat is on the leash and yourlittle sweetie comes rush-ing over, how do you knowhow the other dog is goingto react? Even a friendly dogcan appear to be aggressiveto another when it is notcontrolled.For those who have

walked the trail for years Iask that you also be awarethat there are probablytwo to three times asmanypeople using the trails today.Lets all be respectful of eachother and the law and leash(and clean up after) yourdog. To those who still feel itis their right to walk withoutonea great big HalloweenBOOOO to you.

S.WymanChilliwack

Atrocities herein the West, tooEditor:It is interesting to hear the

discussions coming out ofthe Commonwealth Sum-mit in Perth, Aus., regardinghuman rights abuses fromthewestern countries as ifwe are immune from suchatrocities, when in fact weare as guilty asmany othercountries in this regard.In Canada alonewe ter-

minate the lives of 95,000 to100,000 babies a year.In this countrywe perform

abortions up to 20weeksgestation as a rule, only indire circumstances is it donethird trimester or full term.What is even harder to

comprehend is that at nearor full term it is legal toterminate the baby, but theminute it is born and youterminate it then it is calledmurder?I have never known any-

one personally that has eversaid to their child, I wish Ihad aborted you, because Ifind you are quite an incon-venience tome. EveryoneI know loves their childrenthrough every phase ofdevelopment andwouldnever intentionally harmthem sowhywould anyonedo it before they are born?Maybe it is time to do a littlepersonal soul searching inthewest also?

BertrandOuimetChilliwack

Our healthcaresystem worksEditor:Id like to thank thehealth-

careworkers of Chilliwack forall the hardwork theydo forclientele.Healthcare is very challeng-

ing and recently I had a largesurgery. Iwas treatedwell,even if Iwas stuck in a four-bed room.Havingworked and lived

in theU.S., I had topaythousands of dollars forhealthcare. I know thehos-pital system is dealingwithovercrowding issues.Theonlysolution I see is users feesbeing implemented for non-urgent cases and for peoplewho refuse to take care ofthemselves then expect to betaken care of at the cost of achild awaitinghealthcare.I also believe integrating

federal andprovincial health-care systems andempower-ing theprovincial providersweuse is the answer to thehealthcare crisiswe all face.Thank youonce again to

thehealthcareworkerswhotook care ofme inmy timeof need. It reallymeant theworld.

Maintain your balanceCommon sense, not deprivation when it comes to dietBY SUSAN SEMENAKPostmedia News

For those trying to loseweight,all the sermonizingcan be a turnoff.Who doesnt already know thatvendingmachine chocolate bars are bad,that wholegrain is good?That fad diets dont work and getting

fit doesnt come quick?Theres nomagic formula for losing pounds and keeping

themoff,but there are strategies that work.The AmericanHeart Association recently published the second edition ofits bestsellerNo-FadDiet (Clarkson Potter,$27.99),a no-non-sense bible for anyone looking to loseweight,eat healthierandmovemore.Its a collection of advice culled from a review of current

research in nutrition,weightmanagement and behaviourmodification.Much of the same advice is available from theDietitians of Canada and the Canadian Heart and StrokeFoundation, fromHealth Canada andQuebecs healthminis-try:Exercisemore and eat a healthy,balanced diet that is lowin fat and includes a variety of food fromeach of the fourgroups.No-FadDiet puts it all together in away that is simple and

straightforward.At its core is the concept of energy balance:To keep fromgainingweight,youmust balance the caloriesyou eat (calories in) with the calories your body uses up(calories out).To loseweight,change the balance in favour ofcalories out.Thats it.Nooutlawed food combinations or powders,herbs,

meal-replacementbars or pills.No three-week ab-building

regimens.Just somecommon-sense advice for the road ahead.Heres a compilationof useful

tips for losingweight fromNo-FadDiet, theCanadianHeart andStroke Foundation andNutritionQuebec,a healthy-eatingblogbydietitianCharlotteGeroudet:

Think smartBe awareof your inner voice.

Think about how the runningdialogue inside your headencourages or excuses badbehaviour.As in:Ill have thesefrench fries now,but just a saladfor dinner,orIts too icy/cold/hot/humid/late/early togooutfor awalk.Practise sayingthanks,but no

thanksto colleagueswhobringinbakedgoodsor dinner-partyhostswhooffer yet anotherglass ofwine.Learn to recognize truehun-

ger.Before eachbite of food,ask:Am I sohungry that Iwould eatthis even if itwere something Ididnt like verymuch?Be especially vigilant around

people you love.Research showsthat adults tend to eatmorein the companyof friends andrelatives,especially if they areoverweight.Dont behardon yourself. It

takes about sixweeks to formnewhabits.Beprepared for pit-falls and setbacks.Hitting apla-teau is part of theprocessthebodyswayof readjusting to areduced food supply.If you stickwith it,youll start losing again.Keep a fooddiary.Know

exactlywhat youeat andwhy.

Plan aheadGoodplanning,notwill power,

is the key to successful,sus-tainedweight loss.Planmeals for thenext few

days to avoidunconscious eat-ing.Shopwith adetailedgro-cery list anddont linger in thesupermarket.Cook extra.Leftovers are a

greatway to avoid the fast foodperils of the food court at lunch-time.Eatmore soup.A container

of homemadevitamin-packedsoup in the fridge is also excel-lentemergency foodfor eve-ningswhenyoure ravenousbutdont have time to cook.Set reasonableweight loss

goals.Beginby aiming to lose10per cent of your bodyweight.Losingone to twopounds aweek is healthy and sustainable.Startwith small steps.Make

gradual,manageable changes.

Have a low-calorie lunch twiceaweek.Cook ahealthydinneronce aweek.Every secondday,replace ice creamwith fresh fruit.Or go full throttle.Some

behavioural experts say thatstartingwith a strict regime,asopposed to cuttingback just afewcalories,helps thenewhab-its become ingrained.Then youcaneaseback after twoweeks.

Choose the right strategyfor youAswitch and swapapproach

works for somepeople.Replacemargarineor butter on toastwith all-fruit spreador unsweet-enedapple sauce;or use fat-free

milk insteadofwholemilk.For others,especially those

whoeat out or travel a lot,the75per cent solutionis better.Continue to eatmost of thethings you likejust less ofthem.Beforebeginning eachmeal,mentally drawa lineontheplate toportionout three-quarters ofwhat younormallyeat.If you always have amuffinfor breakfast,eat three-quartersof it. If you eat four slices of pizzaat your kids hockeygame,cutback to three.

Find more nutritious, lower-calorie alternativesGet themost return fromeach

calorie.Eatmore vegetables andfruits,fibre-richwhole grains,fat-free and low-fat dairy productsand fish and leanmeat,aswell asunsaturated fats andoils.Visualize your plate divided

into fourths,with two sectionsfor vegetables and fruits,one forgrains and starches,andone fora protein.Eat slowly.It takes about 20

minutes for your brain to regis-ter the signal fromyour stomachthat it is full.Pre-empt restaurant regret.

Eat something low in caloriesanapple or abowl of low-fatyogurtbefore leaving for therestaurant if you are very hungry.

Or drink aglass or twoofwaterwhilewaiting for your food totake anedgeoff your hunger.Andask thewaiter to take awaythebreadbasket.

Move moreStraponapedometer.Re-

cording every stepwill giveyou a realistic ideaof just howactiveor inactiveyou reallyare.Wear thepedometer for oneweek.Addup thedaily totalsanddivideby seven to findoutyour averagenumber of dailysteps.(Adaily rangeof 2,000to 4,000 steps is consideredinactive;5,000 to 7,000 steps isconsideredmoderately active;10,000ormore steps is consid-ered very active.)

TheChilliwackChiefs discov-ered the cure for the com-mon slump this weekendas they downed the two

worst teams in the British ColumbiaHockey League to end a five-gamelosing skid.It wasnt easy to knock off the

Trail Smoke Eaters and the SalmonSilverbacks, but Chilliwack tookadvantage of their opponentsshortcomings to find their scoringtouch and sort out their defensivezoneplay.The Chiefs downed the league-

worst Smoke Eaters 4-3 in overtimeFriday at Prospera Centre thanks toa Trevor Hills goal just 39 secondsinto the extra session.Derek Huisman opened the scor-

ing on the power play in the firstperiod, but the Smoke Eaters ralliedin the second to take a 2-1 lead intothe final 20minutes.A pair of quick goals from Kit Sit-

terley and Jeremy Gossard quicklyturned the tables andhad theChiefsheaded for victory beforeTrails ErikCooper tied the gamewith 3:24 left.But Hills roofed his shot from the

slot early in overtime to put a haltto Chilliwacks losing slide and send1,704 fans homehappy.We started extremely slow and

progressed as we went along, saidChiefs head coach Harvey Smyl.We had to fight a little bit of adver-sity . . . andmanaged to get the twopoints.The next night, the Chiefs put

together what Smyl deemed to beone of his clubs best defensive out-ings of the still-young season enroute to a 3-1 victory in SalmonArm.The Silverbacks Devin Muller

scored just 38 seconds into thegame, but itwas the only timeSalm-onArmwould find away past ChiefsstarterGillam.Chilliwack defenceman David

Thompson tied the game midwaythrough the opening period and Sit-terley and Chris Blessing scored in

the second to give the Chiefs all theoffence theywouldneed.Other than the first four or five

minutes of the hockey game, wedidnt give them any real goodchances, said Smyl. It was a realgood road victory.

Hutchinsons brief debut

OnThursday, the Chiefs acquireddefenceman Matthew Hutchin-son from the Coquitlam Express inexchange for the always-mysteriousfuture considerations.Hutchinson, a 20-year-old stay-

at-home defender, had played 89

games for Surrey, Coquitlam andQuesnel.He played his first gameFriday for

theChiefs, but his debutwas a shortone. Just 13minutes into the game,hedishedout ahit and thenbecameinvolved in a fight with Trails Clay-ton Chessa. Because another fighthad already begun, both Chessaand Hutchinson were tossed fromthe game, although Smyl felt thatChessamay have deserved an extrapenalty for being the aggressor ontheplay.Hutchinson sat out the follow-

ing nights tilt in Salmon Arm, a

move Smyl said had been plannedas part of a rotation to get StefanGonzales back in the lineup afterhe sat Friday.

Gillam the hot hand

For the first time this season, goal-tenderMitchGillamplayedall of theChiefs games over theweekend.The previous three weekends

have seen BrytonUdy get one start,withGillamgetting the others.ButGillamleadstheBritishColum-

bia Hockey League in save percent-age and Smyl told theTimes that hewas justplaying thehothand.

The Pumpkin was carved by Chiefscentre Spencer Graboski, who tweeted apicture of it Monday morning in advanceof Halloween festivities. The Pumpkin per-forms best in the fall but tends to disappearfrom sight come playoff time. Nevertheless,its locker-room leadership and after-dinnernutrition have proven invaluable.
