City aces tribute

Build it and they will ride Transit system changes have proven popular

Portage Park tennis courts renamed after Dorothy Kostrzewa

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

iding the bus in Chilliwack is getting easier and easier with more buses running on more routes for longer hours. Changes to the transit system that took effect last summer have proven extremely popular as ridership has increased steadily to the level of 20,000 rides in April, according to Michelle Orfield of BC Transit. “I’m just super stoked,” Orfield told city council at Tuesday’s meeting. Orfield presented the results of a February 2013 planning workshop and the three-year transit service plan for the city. That plan will see the largest expansion of transit in the city’s history, something about which Orfield and council were brimming with optimism. “What it proves is that if you build it, they will come,” Coun. Jason Lum said. Lum, the chair of the Transportation Advisory Committee, joked Tuesday that he “was a bit scared to show [his] face on the street” after the changes came into effect last summer. That’s because the changes that streamlined service into the main Yale/Vedder corridor also eliminated some more suburban service, to the chagrin of some residents. St i l l , r i d e r s h i p i m m e d i a t e l y increased in July 2012 and has risen steadily since then. And the plan for the first year of changes means many of those concerns should be alleviated. See TRANSIT, Page 21

The tennis courts at Portage Park will be named for long-time Chilliwack city councillor Dorothy Kostrzewa who was an avid tennis player and coach. Kostrzewa passed away in January.

ity hall was filled with tears and smiles Tuesday as the late Dorothy Kostrzewa was remembered and her sporting past memorialized. Mayor Sharon Gaetz and council approved the renaming of the tennis courts at Portage Park to the Dorothy Kostrzewa Tennis Courts to honour her legacy. “Dorothy Kostrzewa gave so much to Chilliwack through community governance as a city councillor, but also in the development of sport,” Gaetz said. “Prior to her passing in January, Dorothy continued to be involved in several sports, acting as an ambassador for the games she enjoyed so much, particularly tennis. This Grand Lady of Chilliwack has left her mark in our community and in our hearts.” Kostrzewa’s daughter Karen and son Richard were at the council meeting Tuesday for the announcement, before which Parks, Recreation and Culture director Gord Pederson gave a presentation.

Affordable child care is a priority and covered on our website under Party Ideals. The $10-a-day program sounds like far too much provincial and federal government control, as the program is part of The New Deal For Families, and too communist, We believe in improving the quality of life of all British Columbians and making this province more affordable. Head Start type programs with maximum parent involvement and decision making power, funding for family members to provide day care, and utilizing schools for child care are more practical, more cost effective, healthier and more community friendly.

Patti MacAhonic - NDP

Access to affordable child care is an issue I hear about over and over on doorsteps in every neighbourhood in Chilliwack. As a past single mom (widowed at 29 with three children) and now having five grandchildren I am familiar with these issues personally. Over the last decade, the BC Liberals have cut funding to child care centres, resulting in significant increased costs to parents. The NDP want to address childcare affordability by reducing fees for existing licensed infant and toddler care by 20 per cent and have made it a goal to increase spaces.

John Martin - BC Liberal

Today’s BC Liberals have allocated an additional $32 million over three years to support creation of up to 2,000 new licensed child care spaces with the goal of creating 13,000 more spaces by year eight. Only with a strong economy can we expand child care spaces while making them more

We currently are number five in Canada in average weekly wages where we were once number one. I believe the answer to many of our unaffordable questions is not more tax, spend and handouts as the other parties have done. The answer is lower tax, stimulate the economy and bring good paying jobs to B.C. Wages in Alberta are much higher than ours and their overall tax burden is much lower. I believe tax dollars are better in your hands than government’s. I want sufficient money to remain in people’s pockets so they can pay for their own needs.

Dale Johnson asks: “Imagine you win the election. Now imagine you are campaigning for re-election in three to four years. What accomplishments and successes for the people of Chilliwack or Chilliwack-Hope will you tout as reason for your re-election?”

◗ Chilliwack candidates My dream for MLA experience would look like this: Carbon tax - get rid of it. It makes everything less affordable for families and seniors. PST on used goods - Scrap all PST on used goods. If people can’t afford new goods, they shouldn’t be squeezed for taxes. This doesn’t make any sense. MSP - get rid of the whole MSP program. It costs millions to send out the bills and monitor to collect payments. It’s terribly inefficient and people are notoriously behind in paying it. Tolls on bridges - get rid of them. What are we doing with all the gas taxes? Air Care - Get rid of it. ICBC - If ICBC doesn’t exist to provide us with inexpensive insurance, privatize it and let in competition. Or ICBC could make driver’s licences

We selected four questions submitted by residents and put them to candidates running in the 2013 provincial election

Maria Cargnelli asks: “Child care is the second highest cost within a family— after mortgage—at a monthly rate of $1,200 per month. Do you support the implementation of the $10 a day Child Care plan?”

◗ Chilliwack candidates A $10/day or $2,600/year day care program (assuming 52 weeks, five days per week) may help, but I believe a healthy economy with higher paying jobs is the answer and a more affordable tax system is a huge part of the solution. We need to change B.C.’s addiction to consumption taxes and make it affordable to live here. This will simultaneously boost our economy, provide higher paying jobs, make it more affordable to live here, and actually make programs like this more affordable for the government due to a healthy economy.

Gwen O’Mahony - NDP

I support taking the necessary steps to improve access and affordability of child care. We have committed to reducing fees for existing licensed infant and toddler care by 20 per cent that would save families an average of $2,000 per year. We will also introduce a BC Family Bonus program as part of a provincial poverty reduction strategy for low and moderate income families.

Laurie Throness - BC Liberal

The BC Liberals have their own alternative called the Early Years Strategy. It Includes full-day kindergarten (already implemented), the StrongStart BC early learning program, a Child Care Subsidy Program with an annual budget of $142 million to support care for over 50,000 children including a supplement for children with special needs, over $34.8 million invested in the Success By 6 program to support early learning, nutrition and family services in more than 225 communities across B.C.; and finally, our platform commits to allocating an additional $32 million over three years to support creation of up to 2,000 new licensed child care spaces with the goal of creating 13,000 more spaces by year eight. * (Independent candidate Ryan McKinnon did not complete the questionnaire) hope my accomplishments include improving access to skills training in Chilliwack so the next generation can attain good jobs that support families in the Fraser Valley, also improving and attracting value add and/or investment opportunities for Chilliwack would be a significant accomplishment. I would be proud to acknowledge improving the standard of seniors care and seniors housing stock in Chilliwack, and helping conserve the beautiful, natural surroundings that make Chilliwack a renowned fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing destination making our tourism sector of note provincially.

he building is new, and so are the books. Indeed, everything at the Sardis Library shines—particularly when the sun is beaming, as it has been during the new facility’s opening week. After two years of work, the new library

opened its doors and collection to the prying eyes of the public Monday morning. And the response so far has been excellent, library manager Nicole Glentworth told theTimes. While it won’t hold its grand opening until June, the library saw plenty of walk-in traffic on its first day, she said. “The community has been requesting this for years and the dream has come to life.” Glentworth, who has spent two years working towards the opening, said seeing people enjoying the new space was exciting.

Engine problems forced kit plane into crash land BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ngine problems led to the crash of a small plane into a Fairfield Island field last Thursday, according to reports filed with Transport Canada. The pilot of the small amateur-built Glastar aircraft said he lost power after a touch-andgo at the Chilliwack Airport, according to the reports. (A touch-and-go sees a pilot land but not come to a complete stop before taking off again.) “The amateur-built Glastar took off from the Chilliwack Airport and stayed in the circuit for a touch-and-go,” said a Transportation Safety Board (TSB) report that was filed with Transport Canada. “On climb-out following the touch-and-go, the engine RPM only increased to about 1700 rpm despite application of full throttle,” “The pilot radioed that he had an LIBRARY, from page 4 “It’s beyond words. It’s like a dream come true, what you can bring to kids, to seniors, to families.” Walk through the doors of the Sardis Library, and the first things you notice are the windows. The library boasts high ceilings and seemingly more windows than walls. “It just makes it so much airier,” Glentworth said. “It brings in a lot of natural light.” A multi-purpose room even boasts a glass garage-door that opens up to allow for activities outside, when weather permits.

engine problem and was returning to land.” Unable to get full power out of his engine, the pilot turned his plane back towards Chilliwack Airport. But as he set up his landing, he noticed another plane preparing to take off. The pilot “decided to abort the landing and continue flying north over farmland toward the Fraser River,” the report reads. Three kilometres north of the airport, the engine “went to idle,” although it continued to turn over. That would seem to explain reports from Clare Avenue witnesses, who said they saw the plane descending under little engine power last Thursday. The pilot was forced to land in a field, where the plane hit a fence post. Another report filed with Transport Canada reported that the pilot and his passenger “were taken to hospital with minor cuts and bruises.”

40,000 items

Inside, the library’s shelves aren’t quite full yet: it will eventually boast a collection of about 40,000 items, but only around half of that number is currently in stock. Glentworth said the collection will be filled out in coming months as staff learn about the library’s users and the types of materials and books being used and taken out. But those already on the shelves are just awaiting their first readers. “These books have never been taken out, they’ve never been touched.”

Chilliwack crash victim’s body found in Pitt River BY JEREMY DEUTSCH Tri-Cities NOW

he body of a man who died in a Chilliwack car accident in March has been recovered in the Pitt River near Port Coquitlam. Coquitlam Mounties identified a body found in the river last week as that of a 45-year-old Chilliwack man who went missing after a deadly crash in that city on March 10. Police said they would not be disclosing the name of the man out of respect for the family’s privacy. The man’s body was discovered on the morning of May 1 by someone on the water not far from shore near Harken Towing. The man is believed to be one of two people killed in a crash in Chilliwack along the Fraser River. A Ford F150 pickup truck entered the

river near the intersection of McDonald and Ballam roads late in the evening on March 10. Mounties recovered the body of a woman in the river shortly after, identified as that of 40year-old Teena Louise Carreck of Chilliwack. A recovery effort for the second body was launched using SONAR to probe beneath an underwater debris field, but the search was called off a couple of weeks later. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said it’s not unusual for a body to make its way that far down the river, adding it’s only a matter of time once the body absorbs enough water for it to begin floating. However, he said the discovery should bring a measure of closure to the man’s family. “Now they know they can give him a proper burial,” Chung said. “When someone’s dead and the body’s not found, there’s no closure.”

Nomination process for Hall begins

he Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame hopes to nominate its first slate of inductees in October, city council heard Tuesday. The Hall of Fame, which will be located on the concourse of Prospera Centre, is the brainchild of Judy Fitzsimmons and has been four years in the making. Fitzsimmons explained the Hall of Fame during a presentation to council Tuesday and announced that the organization was beginning its nomination process. “We are committed to honouring outstanding sports achievements at the elite level and educate our community in its very

rich sports legacy,” she said. “The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame will recognize players, coaches, managers and teams that have achieved.” Nominations will close June 15, with an induction ceremony planned for a Chilliwack Chiefs game in mid-October, Fitzsimmons said. The Hall of Fame will include both a static display and two television screens. “I think it’s great that it’s not just going to be a dusty display of old pictures,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said. “Thank you for moving us into this century.”

◗ Opinion

Vote for party & leader N ext Tuesday, Chilliwack voters will elect two new MLAs, or members of the legislative assembly. Many will think we’re electing representatives in Victoria. Those people are adorable. The name on the ballot might be Gwen O’Mahony, John Martin, Chad Eros or Kim Reimer, but ditch the rose-coloured glasses: you’re voting for the party and its leader, not the name on the ballot. As investigative journalist Sean Holman has noted, 99.75 per cent—or 399 in 400—of all votes in the B.C. legislature have toed the party line. That means that whoever you elect Tuesday will do exactly as his or her party whip instructs. That’s fine, of course, if you’re voting for a party and leader whose views align with your core beliefs. But if you think your candidate of choice is willing to speak his or her mind instead of toe the line, well, good luck with that. (Those parties that call for more free votes—the Greens and the BC Conservatives—are unlikely to send more than one MLA to Victoria. Free votes aren’t a risk when you’re a party of one.) There have been a few recent cases of politicians breaking with

TYLER OLSEN

Win,Lose orTy their party. Blair Lekstrom deserted the Liberals, Bob Simpson got booted from the NDP for crossing his leader, and John van Dongen fled both the Liberals and the BC Conservatives. Lekstrom has returned to the Liberals. Simpson and van Dongen, meanwhile, have struck out on his own. But there is little indication that any of the local candidates who are likely to be elected next week would be prepared to abandon the comfortable confines of party discipline should they head to Victoria. Sure, they might argue that they will work to change the system from the inside. The problem is, it’s impossible to know what, exactly, your faithful representative is pushing for in Victoria. Caucus meetings are secret. You can hope your MLAs work hard to advance their—and your— causes. They can say they’re doing so. But he or she might spend the meetings playing

Angry Birds on their government iPhone for all you know. It’s also not clear exactly how involved MLAs are in the procuring of government money for their hometowns. Surely, a government MLA is not required in order to get a road built or a hospital renovated. At least it shouldn’t be. The argument for why you should vote for the best candidate is identical to why you should vote at all: as part of a larger group—as one voice among many, whether in a ballot box or a legislature—your vote and your MLA contributes to democracy, such as it is. Elect an idiot, and you make your legislature incrementally dumber than it already is; elect someone who sees the system for what it is, and you’ll make your government a little more accountable. But if you’re not thrilled with any of your options, and if you want your vote to have an impact on how the province is run, vote for the party and the leader that matches your values. At least then you won’t feel betrayed when your local MLA decides it’s better to parrot party talking points than tell you what he or she really thinks.

o one needs another lecture about why they should vote, but please, please, get out there and cast a ballot. General election day for the 2013 B.C. provincial election is Tuesday, May 14. Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. But you can also vote today, tomorrow or Saturday as well (May 9, 10, 11) at advanced polls in both local ridings.

History does prove Jesus existed Editor: Mr. Ken Baigent sent a response to the Times (Separating Myth From Fact, May 2) stating that he was troubled by the tone of authority in my writing (Faith Today). He takes offence that I write and speak of Jesus Christ as a real historical person asserting that scientists and historians have no evidence to support this. I can appreciate and even expect that there will always be debate around Christianity regarding Jesus’ miracles, his resurrection and his claim to be God. However, to state that Jesus never actually existed as a historical figure is to commit intellectual suicide. You don’t have to be a Christian to believe that Jesus walked this Earth. The Bible, written sources outside the Bible, and archeological evidence affirms the fact that Jesus actually was a real historical figure. The most credible and reliable historical book that proves the existence of a historical Jesus is the Bible— but I assume Mr. Baigent does not put much stock in it. So let’s take a look at outside sources and archeological evidence. Most credible scholars, even those who don’t believe in the deity of Jesus will affirm the fact that he was a real person. Scholars such as Bart Ehrman (an agnostic) states that Jesus, “. . . certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees” (B.Ehrman. 2011 Forged: Writing In The Name of God. Pg. 285). The early writings of Josephus (a Roman-Jewish historian) as well as the Roman historian Tacitus both refer to Jesus, his ministry and his death. Archeological discoveries have verified the Biblical accounts that are written in the Bible, specifically the Gospels that tell the story of Jesus. For example, in 1990 the actual tomb of Caiaphas, the high priest who presided over Jesus’ trial, was discovered south of Jerusalem. I could go on but space is limited. Simply put, any serious student of history will discover that Jesus was not a myth but an actual person who walked this Earth.

This fact speaks to a deeper issue. If Jesus was a real historical figure then the next step for a serious critic to take would be to study the claims of Jesus. Many people have done just that and have discovered Jesus to be who he claimed he was —God. That’s why millions of people all throughout history, as Mr. Baigent wrote, are in the “crazy grip” of this religion called Christianity. They’ve discovered a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. So here’s my challenge. Do a serious study on Jesus, see what he claimed about himself and look at what he did. As the great writer C.S. Lewis said in regards to Jesus; he was either a liar, a lunatic or he truly is Lord. I’d be curious to see which conclusion your journey leads you to. Shawn Vandop Promontory Ministries

Where’s the peer review? Editor: Regarding the “Separating myth from fact” article that appeared in the Times on May 7, I must express my concern. In Matthew 7:2, Jesus is reported to have said, “For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged,” or words to that effect. Now, the article appearing in the Times claims to have been written by a Ken Baigent, but I cannot find any scientific evidence that this Ken Baigent actually exists. There is not one scientific paper published in any peer-reviewed science journals that would contradict the statement

“Ken Baigent does not exist.” Not one. I ask you, should the Times be printing the letter of a person whose existence has not been verified by peer-reviewed scientific journals? Why are we treating this Ken Baigent as though he exists? For the Times to lend its authority to such a perplexing myth is —very troubling. Of course, some might wonder why the Times should print my letter, treating me as though I exist. What scientific evidence exists in my favour, and who is to say I am who I say I am? You who are reading this letter may only be imagining that you are reading this letter. Wrestling with such existential conundrums, Descartes declared “I think, therefore I am.” Or maybe he didn’t. Not sure where the hard proof exists for Descartes existence. Though it is true that Descartes appears in some history books, so too does Jesus, Julius Caesar, Aristotle, and Socrates, and if Ken Baigent’s standard is broadly applied, then the existence of all such men of history must be regarded with profound skepticism. Robert Bogunovic Chilliwack

Larger issues to talk about Editor: In your article “Strahl speaks on growing concern,” (Times, April 30) Mark Strahl has taken on what I consider to be a local issue. While medical drug use in our community is a valid concern, we do have local processes for dealing with this. I direct Mr. Strahl to be watching out for his con-

stituents’ affairs by keeping us informed on federal and international issues. And these issues abound. In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, and the perceived threat of a Via Rail derailment, Parliament has enacted tougher terrorism laws. These laws have a direct bearing on Canadians’ personal freedoms. The U.S. is still making war-like gestures towards Syria and Iran. And, even though Canadians are tired of endless wars, it is clear that Peter McKay is driven to be a part it. Now, Parliament has passed budget laws that provide banks access to Canadian savings accounts, in a move reminiscent of recent events in Cyprus. Canadian retirement savings could be at risk. We aided NATO in creating the current chaos taking place in Libya. In Afghanistan we are still spending the remains of what they tell us is $23 billion, and what are we getting out of that training mission anyway? I want Mark Strahl to talk about this stuff, and to get our opinions to take back to Ottawa. Neighbours could discuss an overly large local medical grow-op with the police. Constituents should discuss federal and international issues with Mr Strahl. Gary Raddysh Chilliwack

Don’t mess with Mother Nature Editor: The ocean has been overfished. The forests are being taken over by technology with many loggers losing their jobs. Soon the forests will be depleted. Workers for pipelines will be hired for a short time. The oil companies will make all the money. The aboriginals know that so many things can go wrong with pipelines. They are in tune with Mother Earth and many are against the oil pipelines. One spill is one too many. Don’t mess with Mother Nature; she will get even— you can count on it. Marie Craig Chilliwack

he Chilliwack secondary senior girls soccer team took their firstround opponents in the Fraser Valley Championships by storm Tuesday, trouncing North Surrey 4-0. “We started a little nervous, which is to be expected, and then we took over the game,” Storm coach Shane Mummery said. “Carmen Devette had an outstanding game and controlled the entire midfield. She also scoredthreeof our goals. Our entire back l i n e p l a ye d exceptionally well, and Kaitlyn LindSCAN TO SEE PHOTOS out recorded her seventh shutout of the season. Dana Broadbent has been a force for us all year and kept things together for us all game. Krista Bartel knotched the other goal with a great run and equally great finish.” The Storm are now looking to clinch a provincial championship berth in a game against Terry Fox today (Thursday) at Townsend Park. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. “I have every bit of confidence that we will be representing Chilliwack at the provincial championships,” Mummery said. “Our team has come together very well and we are playing a nice brand of soccer right now.” Sardis secondary, meanwhile, fared less well against their first round oppo-

Sardis secondary’s McKenzie Hildebrand sends a ball into the mix during senior girls playoff soccer action at Sardis Tuesday. The Falcons lost 3-2. nents, falling 3-2 to a tough South Delta side at Sardis Tuesday. The Falcons’ goals came from Bekky Clemens and Sydney Steeves. Sardis, who went undefeated in the regular season, now faces elimination in the double-knockout tournament against Centennial at home Thursday. “I’m a little disappointed, a little frustrated because we had two starters out,”

coach Richard Tagle said. “It had a huge impact losing those.” He said it would be hard to judge the team’s chances from here on because teams that qualify for the Fraser Valleys tend to be very evenly matched. The Falcons play Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

Sardis Falcon Steven Scurr carded a four-under-par 67 to lead his team to victory Tuesday.

Scurr leads Sardis golfers

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

igh school golfer Steven Scurr led his Sardis secondary golf team to victory Tuesday at the Fraser Valley East AAA Golf qualifier at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. Scurr shot a four-under-par 67, contributing to a total nine-under team score of 293. Connor McLellan, 76, Mitchell Thiessen, 74, Grayden Northey 76, and Tristan Dundas, 84, rounded out the Sardis squad, which

edged out seven other Fraser Valley East teams to take top spot. The win earned the team a berth in the Fraser Valley Championships at Northview Ridge Course on May 14. A top-seven finish there would secure the Falcons a berth in the provincial finals in Courtney, at Crown Isle Golf Resort. “We’re very pleased with the results and making it to the Fraser Valley Finals,” Sardis coach Tom MacIsaac told the Times, “but our goal all season has been to make the provincials and place well.”

Faith Today

Conquer discouragement

And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.” Galatians 6:9

BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian Church

bottom . . . and this happened day after day and was never going to stop. I think there are those among us who could identify ourselves with the story of Sisyphus. Day after day we toil, but there are so many things we just can’t accomplish. Some people spent a life-time to accomplish the one thing they always dreamt about, but they never reaped the fruits of success. In our Christian pilgrimage we aren’t exempt from discouragement. Just like so many of the characters in the Bible, we feel like crying out, “Lord, this is enough!” There are the times when we feel like Elijah who reached the point to give up hope when he sat under the broom bush. There are different reasons why we

he ancient Greeks called Sisyphus the “craftiest of men” but to us, he is the symbol of futility. From the Greek mythology, the story is told of the proud Sisyphus who was punished by the gods for his sin of pride. His arduous task was to roll a huge boulder to the top of a hill. It took Sisyphus all of the day to do this, toiling up the steep, tree-hung incline and it exhausted him utterly. Each evening, as the first stars appeared, Sisyphus would reach the top of the hill. And each evening the boulder would slip from his hands and roll back down to the

feel spiritually discouraged: There is the lack of spiritual growth. Some Christians grow discouraged because they are not spiritually where they thought they would be at this point in their lives. A man walked up to Billy Graham after one of his crusades and said with frustration in his voice, “What you just talked about doesn’t work for me.

those things most often aren’t about selfish ambition. No, it’s about God making us more productive in His service. How should we understand the expression, “Pray; God listens”? Perhaps as you read this article, you have your own personal reasons why you feel spiritually discouraged. There is wonderful news.We can conquer discouragement. God knows about the challenges we face. He knows that, because of this fallen world in which we live. The obstacles and the thorn bushes come in our way. And now our God comes to us just as He went to Joshua and said, “. . . do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” To this end He encourages us to have faith and to trust Him

to bring things to pass in His perfect time. Don’t lose heart. Even though we go through trying times, through times of transition, through times of change and periods when things are up and down, if we will remain faithful, persevering in that which God has called us to do, He will bring it to pass. This is not some wild hope, wish or dream. This is a promise God has made to us to always go with us on life’s journey. The ride might sometimes be rough and bumpy, but the end result will be out of this world. How can we truly conquer discouragement? Only when we focus on the finishing line. God will bring us and our families through any situation.We have to believe what St. Paul wrote: “for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.” ◗ Rev.Willem H. van deWall is the minister at Cooke’s Presbyterian Church and can be reached at 604792-2154 or rev.cookes@gmail.com.

She had a long history in sport DOROTHY, from page 1 He said the tennis courts at Portage Park were like a second home to Kostrzewa. She had a long history in sport, bowling in six Western Canadian Championships between 1950 and 1961. But she was most passionate about tennis, coaching junior and senior players from 1955 to 1976 and organizing tournaments between 1979 and 1985. She was instrumental in the creation of the Chilliwack Tennis Club. Kostrzewa played actively until the age of 80, according to Pederson. In 1984, Dorothy was recognized as the “Sportsman of the Year” for her service to young people, and in 2011 she was named a Community Sport Hero.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Former Chilliwack city councillor Dorothy Kostrzewa holds a photo of her taken in 1933 near Chilliwack’s Chinatown South.

TRANSIT, from page 1 The most prominent change to the Yale/ Vedder route is to extend it north to the Broadway/Yale area and south to directly service the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) and the Tyson area. The added service won’t mean any reduction in the 20-minute service as a new bus will be added to the route. Another critical element of the three-year plan comes in year two, when BC Transit is hoping to start service between Chilliwack and Abbotsford, according to Orfield.

day was followed by a slideshow featuring photos from Kostrzewa’s entire life, which evoked tears from many, including the mayor. Kostrzewa was first elected to council in 1971 and was the first Chinese-Canadian woman elected to public office in Canada. She served 31 years on council alongside seven mayors, finally stepping down in 2008. In 2006, she was named by the Vancouver Sun as one of the 100 Chinese-Canadians making a difference in B.C. On Tuesday, Gaetz presented her children with a book of condolences that had been set up at city hall since she passed on Jan. 11. “We are just so sad that she has passed on but so happy to know her legacy has lived on,” Gaetz said. “We love her.”

Will start earlier She added that it had become somewhat complicated because of the different jurisdictions and they were still working on where the buses should go in each city. Also in year two, buses will start as early as 6:30 a.m. extending to 11 p.m. ◗ Public consultation on the three-year plan is scheduled for May 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Coast Hotel and on May 23 from 2 to 4 p.m. at UFV in Chilliwack.

Thanks Bruce, I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optical store. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to ﬁght for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

of this area and all British Columbians in providing efficient, accountable, transparent government that works for the people. I will also be able to say that I fought to make life affordable for the people of the area so that they would not have to move from their province to work and survive.

Gwen O’Mahony - NDP

I’m running for re-election right now and campaigning on the style of leadership I personally feel is the way representatives ought to engage with their constituents regardless if they are in opposition or government. They are the three “L’s” of

Leadership: listen, learn, lead. These principles, if carried out in that order, are the fundamentals of integral leadership and I believe that this past year I have had the opportunity to be an example of these principles in action. If I should be successful in being re-elected

and if the NDP should be successful in becoming government, after a four-year term I would tout our success at making modest key investments while paying down the current deficit-in other words carrying out what we said we would do in our platform, no surprises.

Laurie Throness - BC Liberal

I hope to be able to say that I worked hard and did my best for the people of Chilliwack-Hope, that the riding is in better shape than when I found it, that the B.C. economy is improving, and that the government has kept its promises.

Kim Reimer - Green

I will be proud to say that unemployment in Chilliwack will have been reduced, the metro Vancouver incinerator will have been thwarted and the people of Chilliwack will have a say when it comes to decisions that affect us.

◗ Chilliwack candidates Chad Eros - BC Conservative

I h a v e e x t re m e l y b a d asthma and hay fever and extremely allergic to smoke. I was extremely overjoyed when indoor smoking was banned. It might be difficult to implement provincewide, however.There is a movement for local communities to not want to feel like big governments are dropping the hammer in their communities and telling how to run them. From my research, initiatives like these are implemented more quickly and enforced better at a local municipal level.

News ELECTION, from page 25 severe dangers to the environment and human health they pose, will not use them. I believe that before expanding the non-smoking zones, we must successfully enforce the existing laws. There are several existing smoking bans in public places, parks, bus exchanges and the like, but until they are successfully enforced further expansion of the laws is redundant.

Patti MacAhonic - NDP

If elected the NDP will introduce new legislation to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides. This has been a long standing NDP policy. In fact, as opposition, the NDP tabled legislation for a pesticide ban several times, then worked to

Today’s BC Liberals are especially proud of having the lowest incidence of cancer in the country; and of those who do get cancer, the very best survival rate in the country. Any and all evidence-based proposals that could potentially assist in prevention are worthy of consideration.

Definitely. There is strong evidence suggesting a correlation between cosmetic pesticides and cancer. There is no reason we need to be using them on our dandelions. I also support the

I personally have an organic garden and don’t use pesticide on my fruit trees. I agree certain pesticides need banning. I am not wellenough informed to know which ones, but if elected I would be

willing to look into it further. B.C. government needs to make decisions for human safety that will prevent cancers and provide for a healthy environment for British Columbians. In regards to smoke-free areas in some smaller provincial parks or on some beaches it is something that I agree we should have. Often smaller parks and beaches would fall under municipal jurisdiction and is much easier to enforce on a municipal level.

cerned that bans on cosmetic pesticides will one day be expanded to agricultural uses, which would severely hamper the production of food, and raise its costs. In the case of smoking, while I have never smoked and would encourage ever yone to quit, banning smoking in outdoor public places may intrude on personal freedoms to an unwarranted degree. A person who smokes alone on a beach, for example, could be breaking such a law.

Public policy should be based on the best science as well as regard for individual freedoms. In the case of cosmetic pesticides, I’m not convinced that science supports a ban, although individual municipalities have instituted them. I am con-

BC Conservative leader John Cummins has always said our primary responsibility is constituents before the party. This is what separates us from the rest. I have a personal belief that individuals closest to home are best able to deal with local issues. This form of government requires less provincial bureaucracy. I would like to see funding and decisions passed down to municipal and local governments wherever possible.

Gwen O’Mahony - NDP

Yes. In fact, the NDP platform as stated “is the result of intensive consultation with British Columbians by our party and the entire NDP caucus.” As a newly elected MLA, I dedicated the greatest part of the year consulting with local elected officials, the business community, the non-profit sector, Aboriginal leaders, Skills Training Stakeholders and individuals about what they believe would indeed be change for the better for our province.

Transparency and consultation are already integral to our government. For example, in our platform alone we have promised to consult on forest management practices, on a transportation strategy for Vancouver Island, on a Water Sustainability Act for BC. On issues concerning water sustainability, I would advocate for strong community input to be built into the legislation.

Yes. We need a basic framework, within which communities have a strong say. The Kinder Morgan pipeline is a threat to the safety and welfare of the communities through which it runs, as are threats to the water supply and wild salmon runs versus salmon farming and communities should have vetoing power. A centralized government does not fully understand the needs and issues communities face and therefore cannot exercise control without full community involvement. The chlorination of the drinking water is the prime example of where an outside force dictates a course of action a community does not accept.

Absolutely. We want to see a lot more public consultation and decision making authority, especially for issues affecting our land air and water.

Our party has small government and constituency over party whip built in to our constitution. I mentioned this as weakness and strength in regards to the question about “one thing our party needs to work on?” I am in support of community based consultation and decision making.

Is there such a thing as maintenance-free plants?

few weeks ago a harassed gardener asked me if there are any maintenance-free plants. Apparently ‘weeds’ was not the answer she was seeking. Anyone who wants a nonweed garden will be faced with some maintenance at some stage. But some plants are certainly less needy than others—and choosing those can easily reduce maintenance. For instance, gardeners who focus on native plants as habitat and a food supply for wildlife can enjoy a much more relaxed type of garden. Many native plants such as salmon berries, thimbleberries, Indian plum and salal have beautiful flowers and nutritious berries. But they’re only maintenancefree for a while. Later, because they’re so well adapted to our soil and climate, they cover more and more space as roots expand and seeds find good spots to sprout. At some point the gardener must pick up a spade and establish firm boundaries for paths, driveway and other valued areas. This can become a yearly task. Native ferns are much closer to being truly maintenance-free. One of the

ANNE MARRISON

Green Thumb easiest is the native Sword Fern. It’s an evergreen which does best in a moist, shady situation and the old fronds form a thick, mulching carpet which surrounds the plant and suppresses weeds. Ground-covers are generally thought to be maintenance-free also. But in the early stages, diligent weeding is essential. It’s not difficult to end up with weeds that a ground-cover will actually hide until they’re difficult to uproot. As well, all ground-covers are invasive to some degree. The more invasive they are, the more successfully they cover ground. That’s why ground covers such as Vinca minor and Vinca major, Ajuga species, Cerastium tomentosum (summer snow), Lamium galeobdolon (yellow archangel) can turn into unstoppable monsters in mild climates. Many are on invasive plant lists. With these and others, sooner or later gardeners must resort to stopping a ground-cover’s

TriviaKing at en.wikipedia

headlong rush for more living room. It’s worth noting a few ground-covers such as kenilworth ivy and some lamiums, can also climb. Some sprawling shrubby ground-covers such as Cotoneaster dammeri and junipers can grow into a dense cover where weeds won’t germinate. But there is still the initial weeding as one gets them established. In this West Coast climate, rhododendrons demand less attention than most other plants. But it’s important to know that no matter how small a rhododendron seems in the garden centre, many are destined to become big shrubs and some become trees. A crucial point is planting them where they have room to expand. A spot under windows or close to doors will lead to major pruning as the rhododendron matures. It’s the smaller rhododendrons that fit best into city-lot size gardens. This includes purplishpink-flowered PJM rhododendrons and the pink or white-flowered rhodo yakusimanum and its hybrids. There are also some ornamental trees which get by with little or no pruning or care once they’re safely planted. One is Sorbus aucuparia (mountain ash) which has beautiful red or orange (rarely yellow) berries that are a feast for birds in the fall. Crataegus species can also be left to grow in their own way. These various kinds of hawthorn produce flowers that are usually white or pink (sometimes double). Fruits may be red, orange, yellow or black depending on the species. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca.

Cultivate a herb garden Enjoy their great taste and smell

any people cultivate gardens both inside and outside of their homes with a focus on adding aesthetic appeal to their property. But a garden that boasts plants that are edible and pleasing to the eye is a possibility as well. Planting an herb garden is a creative way to enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of a wide variety of plants. Using fresh-harvested herbs in culinary endeavours imparts a taste that dried spices cannot match. What’s more, fresh herbs are often easy to cultivate. Herbs are versatile, capable of lending great flavour to foods while also playing different roles in personal health and beauty. Herbs can be grown to perfume homes and bodies. There are herbs that are also purported to help with ailments, from upset stomachs to anxiety. When planting an herb garden, you may want to pay particular attention to

Basil, for instance, is a tropical plant that does well in warm conditions. Therefore, it will need to be kept away from drafts and get several hours of direct sunshine a day. Place most herb planters in a south-facing window of a home to ensure they get ample sunlight and to allow the soil to dry adequately between waterings. With many herbs, leaf production will diminish on any stems that flower.

Many would-be herb gardeners tend to start small to see what luck they have when cultivating herbs. Fortunately, herbs can grow well in containers indoors, provided the soil is amenable and there is plenty of sunlight. Herbs will grow best in well-prepared soil. Make sure that it is rich in organic matter and drains well. Also, for plants like parsley, be sure to have deep pots or dig deeply in the garden to establish long taproots.

At Home

Is it time to add a half-bathroom? W hen it comes to renovating a home, homeowners expect to spend money. No home renovation or improvement project is free, but some are less costly than others. The addition of a half-bathroom is a popular project among homeowners, and it won’t necessarily break the bank. If converting existing floor space into a half-bathroom, such a renovation can cost as little as a few thousand dollars, making the addition of a powder room one of the few home improvement projects where the value added to the home exceeds the cost of the renovation. Before deciding to add a half-bathroom, it helps to consider some of the pros

and cons of the project.

Pros ◗ Convenience: A half-bathroom is often added on the home’s main floor or in the basement or attic. This makes it more convenient for guests to use the restroom during a dinner party or when coming over to watch the big game in a basement home-theater area. ◗ Problem-free: Half-bathrooms are smaller because they don’t have a shower or bathtub. That means common bathroom problems like mold and mildew are not as big a concern as they are for full bathrooms. ◗ More choices: Because mold and mildew aren’t likely to pres-

ent a problem in a half-bathroom, homeowners have more options at their disposal when choosing floors and countertops.

Cons ◗ Space: As their name implies, half-bathrooms are much smaller than full bathrooms. As a result, they tend to feel cramped. ◗ Value: Though an inexpensive half-bathroom addition might recoup its value and then some at resale, the project won’t add as much resale value to a home as a full bathroom addition might. ◗ Loss of storage: If storage around the house is sparse, homeowners might be better off keeping the area designated for the half-bath-

room as a storage closet instead of a bathroom. Once the pros and cons have been weighed, homeowners who want to go forward with the project should then check with their local municipality to ensure the codes and requirements won’t restrict their project. Size or window restrictions might curtail the project or limit what homeowners can do, which might change their minds on the project altogether. The addition of a half-bathroom often makes practical and financial sense. But before making any addition, homeowners must weigh the pros and cons to make the best decision possible.

How to repair unsightly bald spots in your lawn

awn care aficionados know how a single bald spot can make an otherwise luscious lawn look worn down and poorly maintained. A bald spot can stick out like a sore thumb, while several bald spots can compromise a home’s curb appeal. Treating bald spots typically depends on what is causing the bald spot. Bugs, dryness, pet waste and damage from mowers are some of the more common causes of bald spots. The following is a breakdown of these different causes and how best to address each situation so you can restore your lawn to its natural beauty. Dryness A lawn can go dry because of drought in the summertime or during the winter months when there is not much rain or snowfall. Homeowners cannot change the weather, but they can help their lawn avoid becoming the burned or yellowed turf that often results after extended periods of dryness. Fertilizing the lawn during the spring and summer is a good first step. This helps the lawn grow in healthy and thick. Once you have fertilized, don’t cut the grass too short. When grass is cut too short, the soil struggles to retain moisture, which can eventually lead to bald spots if weather conditions are dry. During especially dry periods in the summer, watering might be necessary. You won’t have to water frequently, but be sure to water deeply so the water can reach the roots of the grass. Pet waste Waste from pets can cause bald spots on a yard.

PAVERS, from page 27 supplies to determine the style and colour of the paving stones you will use in the project. Some homeowners prefer to have the materials delivered to their home to save the hassle of extra heavy lifting and moving. 3. Using a shovel or a tiller, dig down and remove the grass to a depth of four to six inches from the area that will become the path or patio. 4. Fill in the area you dug out with a paver base material, using a tamper (either manual or power-driven) to tamp down the paver base until it is level and smooth. 5. Apply about one inch of paving sand to further level out the path or patio. This will be the material on which the paving stones are laid. 6. Begin laying the paving

This might surprise some homeowners, but pet waste contains a high level of concentrated nitrogen that, when applied to a lawn, can burn the grass and cause bald spots. Urine is most likely to cause bald spots, but fecal matter can as well. When addressing the problem of pet waste on your lawn, make sure no one else’s pets are the cause of the problem. Neighbours out walking their dogs should be discouraged from allowing their dogs to use your lawn as a restroom. If this does not work, then erect a fence or some type of structure that makes it difficult for other people’s pets to access your lawn. When it’s your own pet causing the damage, address the spots where your pet relieves itself as quickly as possible. Watering the area within eight hours can significantly reduce the risk of lawn damage by diluting the nitrogen levels. Another way to address the issue is to encourage the animal to use various spots in the yard, rather than continually using the same spot. Flush each area with water immediately after the pet is finished. If the damage is already considerable, remove the damaged grass and reseed the spot. Mower damage Sometimes Mother Nature and man’s best friend are not the culprit with regard to bald spots on your lawn. Human error can cause bald spots, too. Dull mower blades or grass that is cut too low can cause bald spots. Fortunately, this is easily remedied. To avoid bald spots, make sure mower blades are sharpened at the beginning

Leave only a small gap stones. Leave the appropriate distance between stones desired by your pattern. If the paving stones will not have any gap and serve as a continuous patio, leave only the smallest gap between them. 7. Spread more paving sand on top of the paving stones and, using a broom, sweep it over the stones and into the crevices between them to set the stones. 8. Create the rest of the garden design around the patio or pathway using gravel, plants and even edging material to finish the look. Over time you may need to sweep more paving sand over the stones to keep them secure.

of each mowing season, as dull blades damage the grass, which is then forced to use valuable nutrients to treat torn grass, weakening the lawn over time. When mowing, make sure you’re not cutting too low so the soil can retain as much moisture as possible. This will necessitate more frequent mowing, but this, too, can prevent bald spots, as it ensures those parts of the grass that contain chlo-

rophyll will not be removed. Bald spots can turn a pristine lawn into an eyesore. But treating bald spots can be easy and, when done effectively, the lawn can be restored quickly.

Even the cutest pet can contribute to bald spots on your lawn. The best way to alleviate the damage pet waste can cause is to flush the immediate area and reseed if necessary.

What have they done to Grandpa?

undreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and eliminated home support services.

The government has downloaded services to volunteers and eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.

Universal home support

COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities. Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals. As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.

On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

Tweedle Dum (played by Rhys Taylor), Tweedle Dee (Jett Higginbottom) and the March Hare (Julie Mazzei) watch in horror as the Mad Hatter (Caylen Braun) expires of a tea overdose in Vedder middle school’s Reinventing Wonderland, a student-written version of Alice in Wonderland performed at the school last week.

Sleepover idea to rewrite Disney classic wins over audience BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ike so many plans both awesome and disastrous, the idea for this year’s Vedder middle school theatre production was hatched at a middle school girls’ sleepover. Fortunately, this mad and harebrained scheme fell into the awesome category. It all began last fall, when Grade

9 students Brooke Cote and Rose de Bruijn decided at a sleepover to rewrite Disney’s version of Alice in Wonderland and pitch the script for their school’s spring production. They won over their drama teachers, and last week their handiwork, ReinventingWonderland, came to life on Vedder middle’s stage for one matinee and two evening performances. “It’s way different than I envisioned it at the start,” Cote told the Times after last Thursday’s matinee in front of her peers. “I did not think we could pull off Alice inWonderland, but it happened.” Some of the scenes and lines in the Vedder production would have been familiar to fans of Disney’s 1951 animated feature, but Cote and de Bruijn added plenty of twists all their own. Alice’s cat Dinah, for example, was recast as a doll (played by Cote) who

accompanies Alice (played by de Bruijn) throughout her adventures in Wonderland. The two collaborators, who are best friends, wrote the parts hoping they’d earn a chance to play them. “We’re really close so we wanted to be on stage together,” de Bruijn said. “When I’m acting, I can play off Rose really well,” Cote added, “and I thought that it would be really cool to have two best friends working together.” Vying unsuccessfully for Dinah’s affections throughout the play are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (played by Jett Higginbottom and Rhys Taylor, respectively), whose characters were also expanded. “In the cartoon they’re only in one scene and we wanted them in the whole play,” de Bruijn said. Other quirky additions, including the death of the Mad Hatter (Caylen Braun) by tea overdose, abound in the

Joscelyn McAulay pair’s script, and the show opened last Wednesday evening to an enthusiastic audience of about 100. “It was just so cool to watch those kids come together,” said Vedder teacher Joscelyn McAulay, who, along with fellow drama teacher Pauline Capirchio, has rehearsed with the kids three times a week since January. What motivated them to take on a student-written play?

“I wanted the kids to really lead,” McAulay said, “and I asked them what they wanted to do, so a number of different ideas came about, and Brooke very quietly started to slip me a bit of her script, and I said, ‘This is great. Let’s do it.’” Working with a play written by students has been a powerful learning experience, McAulay said, not just for Cote and de Bruijn, but for the whole group. “Because the kids have written it, it becomes a working and living thing,” McAulay said. “The kids had their scripts and pens and pencils, and we switched things as we needed to.” That practice thinking on their feet came in handy on opening night when the actors ran into the occasional and inevitable hitch. “Even though a few things happened, we improvised and we made it better,” de Bruijn said.

Art sale means clean water BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

nsworth elementary students have put their paintbrushes, scissors and glue sticks to work for a good cause this year, raising $3,300 for clean water projects in Ethiopia by selling their art. The Chilliwack school calls it Art For Others. Started by Unsworth Grade 1 teacher Monique Lousier three years ago, the biannual fundraiser has classes from kindergarten to Grade 6 creating masterpieces to sell at a special Art For Others café that features refreshments provided by the teachers and (this year) the school’s spring concert. More than 400 parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends were on hand at the school’s gymnasium Thursday evening, and sales (the artwork goes for $2 a piece) were brisk. “There’s something so simple and beautiful about children’s art,” Lousier told the Times. “It doesn’t have to be professionally done to be enjoyable, and it’s something that they can do. It’s just a small way that they can help somebody else, and it just encourages them to be a global citizen.” Leading up to the event, students at the school got a presentation from Hope International about the kinds of projects they would be supporting with their art, And now that the money has been raised, they will also get a follow-up presentation about the good their art has done. “I think it’s really important for our kids to have that global awareness and to understand that there are children like them and communities that don’t have what we have and that we can make a difference,” Unsworth princi-

Tribute to Holly

SCAN TO SEE VIDEO

young Johnny Vallis imitated his teacher one day and was sent to the principal’s office. “Why are you here,” asked the principal? Johnny showed him. The principal said, “That’s really good.” Vallis, the man of many voices, has been imitating people ever since but he made a name for himself with a particular voice. Buddy Holly was “the single most influential creative force in early rock n’ roll.” In his tribute to the rock icon, Vallis perfectly portrays both the look and the sound as he rolls out Buddy’s greatest hits; “That’ll Be The Day,” “Words of Love,” “Not Fade Away,” Oh Boy,” “Peggy Sue,” “Maybe Baby,” “Rave On!” “Heartbeat” and more. ◗ For more information about Vallis, visit www. johnnyvallis.com. Show is May 10 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould St. Tickets are $29.50 (plus facility fee and service charges). For tickets call the centre box office at 604-391SHOW (7469), visit in person or purchase online at www. chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Birthday Greetings

YOU’RE 70!!!

Do you realize that 70 years ago …

Call waiting referred to a line outside a phone booth. A ﬂat screen was something you put in your window to keep the insects out. An airbag was someone who talked too much. Spam was found only in the kitchen. A cell phone was what you used to make your one call from jail… and a birthday was something you actually looked forward to.

LOCK, John Albert June 23, 1928 - May 6, 2013

With great sorrow we announce the passing of John Albert (Jack) Lock on May 6, 2013, after a short illness. Jack is survived by wife Lorraine, daughter Laurie Laughlin (Eric), grandchildren Jennifer (Darren), Chris, and Allison, as well as brother Ewart and sister-in-law Eva Lock, sister-in-law Verna Hansen, and nieces and nephews. Jack was predeceased by his son Sandy Lock and his parents John and Lottie Lock. Jack spent over 40 years in the real estate and development business in Chilliwack, beginning his career with McGaw Agencies, and continuing with Wheeler Realty and Tamahi Realty. Jack enjoyed hunting and fishing, as well as time spent at Crystal Lake getting 'Cariboo-ized.' Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Markey, the nurses at Chilliwack General Hospital, and the staff at Royal Columbian Hospital. With a very special thank you to Doug Jackson for his friendship and support throughout the years. There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to BC Children’s Hospital would be appreciated (4480 Oak Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6H 3V4).

Happy 70th Birthday!!!

Love from Ina, Kim, Alex and Chris

In Memoriam

Karver Jesse Morford Aug. 23, 1975 – Nov. 8, 2010

Two and a half years ago someone brutally and senselessly murdered Karver while he was alone at his home in Ryder Lake, forcing his life to end long before he was done living it. Whoever killed him should not be allowed the privilege of the freedom and anonymity they have enjoyed since then, especially after treating a fellow human being with such cruelty. He never had a chance, and if we had our way, neither would those responsible for taking him from us. For no punishment could match what we’ve gone through since his death. Karver deserves justice and a peaceful rest. The rest of us need an end to our unanswered questions. We continue to ask that anyone knowing anything about Karver’s murder to please contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Loving him always, missing him terribly and still longing for a resolution ... his Mom, Dad and brother: Judy McCormick, Jim and Jade Morford; extended family and friends.
