Chilliwack’s Restorative Justice group got most of the money it was requesting for 2013 under the city’s Community Development Initiatives funding. Council approved a total of $31,500 on Tuesday — the same amount it gave last year to the Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association, and just short of the $34,000 the group was requesting. “We were trying to slowly increase the funding so we could grow our program,” said CRJYAA executive director Kim McLandress, after the council meeting. “We’re extremely thankful for the support the city provides.” About a third of the funding is in cash, she said, while the city also covers inkind costs for office space on Wellington Avenue, utilities and supplies. Recognized as restorative leaders in the province, the local group has been holding offenders accountable to their victims and the community since 1998. It assists them in making amends and repairing the harm they’ve done. As an alternative to the formal criminal justice system, restorative justice provides support to victims and offenders alike, facilitating things so an incident can be resolved directly between affected parties — without going to court. “We are listed as the third busiest program in British Columbia which has to do with our strong partnerships with RCMP and businesses within the community,” McLandress wrote in the funding application. In 2011 they opened 159 files, and more than 3,800 people have benefited from the program since it started. “We are proud to note that since the Continued: JUSTICE/ p5

The question of how Chilliwack should manage its growth between now and 2040 is being officially launched. A public consultation plan was rolled out at city hall Tuesday to provide a series of feedback opportunities in the upcoming review of the Official Community Plan. The first open house is set for Nov. 22 at UFV in Sardis, while another session will be held at Evergreen Hall on Nov. 26. But aside from the traditional open house format, city officials will also engage the public using everything from social media to Chiefs’ events. Council received a staff update on Tuesday in a presentation called ‘2040 Chilliwack: OCP Review Public Engagement Program’ from Karen Stanton, manager of long range planning. The OCP review process will take about a year. It’s being triggered because the population of Chilliwack has topped 83,000, closing in on the OCP review threshold of 85,000 people. “It’s imperative for the citizens of Chilliwack to get involved in this process,” said Acting Mayor Jason Lum, after the council meeting.

Three more bodies, West tells investigators Vikki Hopes Black Press

Shortly after his arrest for the murder of Chelsey Acorn of Abbotsford in 2007, Jesse Blue West told investigators that he could give them information about three other bodies. In exchange, he had a “wish list” that included visiting the gravesites of the victims alone so he could “get closure” for the crimes, as well as downgrading the first-degree murder charges for his co-accused son, Dustin Moir. The first part of the four-hour interview tape was shown at West’s first-degree murder trial on Tuesday afternoon in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack. Investigator Brian Kwak, then an Abbotsford Police detective working with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, testified that the interview was conducted at West’s request. West, a former Surrey resident, was arrested in March 2007 after

an undercover police “Mr. Big” operation that also targeted his son, and he had already been interrogated about his role in the murder of 14-year-old Acorn. Her remains had been found in a shallow grave in a wooded area outside of Hope in April 2006, and she was believed to have been murdered the previous fall. Kwak said West, now 61, asked to talk to investigators about other homicides. The interview was conducted April 3, 2007 at a room in North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam. Joining Kwak was Bob Page, a police constable at the time. The video shows West, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, confirming to Kwak that he is meeting with them voluntarily, but with a caveat. “If you guys start pressuring me, this is the end of this conversation,” he says. Kwak assures West they will not pressure him and are there to listen.

“The reason why we’re here is because we believe you want to get this behind you and move forward with your life,” Kwak says. Several minutes into the conversation, West tells the pair, “…I can give you three bodies,” but before providing the details wants assurances that certain conditions be met. He says he wants to be released on three weeks’ bail so that he can locate the “gravesites” of the victims without police accompaniment. He says he also wants to visit Acorn’s gravesite and “spend the afternoon,” and these visits will help bring him “closure.” West says he will need a GPS, camcorder and tape recorder to detail and explain the scenes for investigators. “There is a little bit of a reason for why everything happens,” he says. Kwak tells West that he will only be permitted to visit the sites with police. “It can’t happen by yourself …

about their son’s involvement in Acorn’s murder. “He doesn’t need to go down for murder 1 either,” he adds, referring to Moir’s first-degree murder charge. Kwak emphasizes several times that police can’t offer any concessions to West, and Page encourages him to share the information so that the families of the victims can have a proper burial. “I just don’t know how we’re going to work this out so I’m satisfied,” West says at one point. He does not reveal the names of the supposed victims or the locations of the “gravesites” during the first portion of the tape. The second part was scheduled to be shown Wednesday, after press deadline. West was never charged with any additional murders. Moir, now 26, was convicted of the first-degree murder of Acorn in February 2010, and is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.

You have to understand we’re not going to be able to let you run free out there.” West also requests that police offer him suggestions on how to handle his ex-wife’s questions

City officials will draw names to give away seats from the Paramount, slated for demolition. Jenna Hauck/ Progress File

Hundreds want to retain a piece of Paramount nostalgia Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There’s huge interest being expressed across Chilliwack by people who would like to take home a piece of the old Paramount Theatre. City officials are offering the historic theatre seats in groups of four, to be given away in a lottery. More than 270 people have already

requested a piece of Chilliwack history from city officials. “I think it really speaks to the nostalgia that’s out there,” said Acting Mayor Jason Lum. “People appreciate the opportunity to keep something that’s special to them.” Chilliwack Museum officials have already been through the old Paramount to select other items to keep for posterity.

City officials decided to draw names in a lottery since they have more people interested than they have seats. There’s a total of roughly 600 seats available, or 137 sets of four. The deadline for putting in a request for the seats is Thursday, October 18.

VICTORIA – Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007. Braidwood testified Tuesday before a legislature committee, after a senior RCMP official reported on training and procedure changes that led to an 87 per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people. Braidwood emphasized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use them with new training and strict new rules. Those province-wide rules include requiring police to determine that the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, and mandate that “deescalation” or crisis intervention techniques be taught and used before a Taser is. He described a basic technique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today. Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice. The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defibrillator in the car, or in a supervisor’s vehicle in communities of 5,000 people or less. Independent testing of the stun guns is also required, and the rules apply to all municipal police in B.C. as well. Continued: Taser/ p4

The councillor praised the idea of offering different avenues for people to participate in the OCP review process, like using social media, or the online discussion site PlaceSpeak. “We can’t simply assume everyone can take time to attend meetings and open houses,” said Lum. “Staff are utilizing some new technology to ensure people will be able to give us meaningful feedback.” It’s a more “inclusive” approach, he said and it is one that will allow the city to reach “far and wide” with Facebook and Twitter. The OCP is the one city document that he figures gets referenced the most in his experience. “So I really hope that people take advantage of these opportunities. This is your city. This is your plan,” he said. Organized activities are being planned for November and December so that community members can offer their opinions and ideas.

On Monday, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new training began in 2011. By then the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a steep decrease in use of Tasers. Braidwood noted that so far there has not been a corresponding increase in police use of guns. “Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officers discovered that other tools in their arsenal, such as training in crisis intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confrontations without resorting to use of conducted energy weapons?” he asked. “It would appear to be a fruitful area for more research.” Braidwood’s inquiry led not only to new Taser procedures, but also the establishment of B.C.’s new Independent Investigations

Heritage Park gets a new look Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

“Events happen here.” That’s the new marketing tag-line for Chilliwack Heritage Park, designed to go with its sleek, new logo. “It’s all about projecting a professional image,” said Brian Coombes of Tourism Chilliwack, adding that the fresh materials are part of a larger marketing strategy recently completed for Heritage Park. “We are going through a tremendous growth curve and we needed to move forward.”

A strong marketing campaign for the facility is viewed as key to making it more financially sustainable. The thing Heritage Park is not just competing for large-scale events against other local venues, but also going up against the Tradex in Abbotsford or the Thunderbird in Langley, said Coombes. “It’s important to make the best impression possible. We thought we needed a more up-to-date logo with a new look and feel, that can show that we are more than cows, corn and barns.” The old red barn graphic was traded

in for a more abstract design, to emphasize the sheer diversity of events that Heritage Park can host, from equestrian or motor cross competitions, to trade fairs and home shows. The new tag-line, “Events happen here” is a way of underlined the

wide range of events they already offer, as well as the ones they hope to attract. A new billboard visible from Highway 1 in the eastbound lane just before Lickman Road showcases the tag-line, and the new streamlined logo in blue, green and red.

“We didn’t want to focus on any one specific sector. Being able to accommodate so many different types of events really sets us apart from other facilities.” The new website at w w w. e v e n t s h a p p e n here.com will go live early in 2013. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

VICTORIA – The B.C. Conservative Party has established a new “unity committee” after expelling or censuring 15 party members in an effort to stamp out a smouldering rebellion against leader John Cummins.

Party president Al Siebring confirmed Monday that letters have gone out to 15 members involved in efforts to oust Cummins. None are identified, and the number whose memberships have been revoked will not be disclosed, Siebring said in a statement released after weekend board meet-

ings in Duncan. The board approved a motion of “full confidence” in Cummins as the resurgent party prepares for a provincial election in May. The new committee is chaired by party director Daniel Brooks and includes Christine Clarke, who ran third in the Port Moody-Coquitlam byelection won by the NDP’s Joe Trasolini in April. “We recognize that there are things which can be done to improve our internal processes,” Cummins said. “The motion was clear when it said that we are looking for ways to engage our members, constituency association presidents and boards, and improve communications within our party.” South Surrey-White Rock constituency president Allison Patton went public last week, claiming there were “at least 20” local party presidents calling on Cummins to resign. Later she was joined at a news conference by Burnaby North constituency president Ariane Eckardt, and said

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins. Jenna Hauck/ Progress File

Cummins had agreed to step aside but then changed his mind. Cummins termed that account an “absolute fabrication.” He set a deadline of Oct. 10 for party members to either unite or resign, and later said 14 people had voluntarily quit. The party said it has added 381 new members since Sept. 3, and continues to collect donations at a pace of $4,000 a week. The party surged to about 20 per cent of voter support in recent polls, challenging the B.C. Liberals for second place behind the

NDP. But as the party went through a fractious recent annual general meeting, Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen quit, and two other members including Chilliwack-Hope byelection candidate John Martin joined the B.C. Liberals. The B.C. Conservatives attracted only 2.4 per cent of the vote in the 2009 election, and have been known more for infighting than electoral success in recent years. The last time the party achieved five per cent of voter support was 1974.

CREATING & MAINTAINING BALANCE

TO THE FULLEST?

A woman’s Guide to Safe, Natural, hormone Health by Nazlin Khamis

The human body is brilliant and built to stay in harmony through the many inter-related systems that help keep it on an even keel. Hormones play a major role in this balance. They carry messages from the glands where they are produced to the specific receptor sites where their action occurs. Their ebb and flow influences all aspects of our physical, emotional and mental wellness. Hormones do their best when their levels are what we call “balanced”. That is the amount of hormone in your system is not too low, not too high, but “just right”. When this “balance” is disturbed in substantial or subtle ways, it causes havoc on your sleep, anxiety, weight gain, mood, your libido and your life. This imbalance can happen any time from as early as puberty, periomenopause, into menopause and beyond. When we think of hormones we mainly think of sex hormones” Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone and DHEA. But there is also stress hormone Cortisol, which is produced by the adrenals, the Thyroid hormones, produced by the Thyroid gland and Insulin (the master hormone) which is produced by the pancreas. When one or more of these hormones are out of balance, symptoms such as:

mood swings, irritability, depression, water retention, headaches, hair loss, increased facial hair, thinning or drying of skin, heavy menstrual bleeding, hot flashes/night sweats, weight gain (hips, thighs, abdomen), fatigue/exhaustion, low body temperatures, aching joints and inflammation become aggravating. Many of these symptoms can be alleviated when we achieve “optimal hormone balance” by replacing with Bio-Identical hormones, which are exactly like the ones produced by our bodies, not the chemically modified ones, that can have plenty of side effects. The most accurate method of testing actual available hormone in the body is by testing the saliva. Although blood testing is commonly used, hormone levels fluctuate in the blood during different times of the day. Men can be equally affected by fluctuating hormone levels, especially Testosterone, which can cause loss of libido, thinning hair, increased belly fat and loss of muscle mass. Diet and lifestyle play a very important role and there are many natural therapies that can support our hormones. These can nourish the adrenals, reduce stress and improve thyroid function, and are all relevant in achieving balance.

New review for teacher bargaining B

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark announced a review of teacher bargaining Wednesday, with a goal of reaching a 10-year agreement that would put an end to decades of battles with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Clark and Education Minister Don McRae acknowledged at a Vancouver news conference that changing the culture of confrontation between the B.C. government and teachers won’t be easy, and vowed to put even the most contentious issues on the table for discussion. That includes class size and special needs support, key issues in contract disputes and court actions in recent years. “Our first goal is longterm labour stability with teachers in British Columbia,” Clark said. “Our second goal is to improve how government interacts and

COME FOR A TOUR

Businesses have come and gone in Downtown Chilliwack over the last 18 years. But one of them has stayed steadfast and true, Marion’s Dressing Room, just east of Five Corners on Yale Road. The little shop with its array of vintage and designer fashion is tucked away in a charming upstairs loft with everything from dresses, jewellery, purses, and shoes, to hats, raincoats and scarves. Owner Marion Marks says the goal of offering Chilliwack shoppers something interesting to wear has kept loyal customers coming back year after year. “People want something different, not the same old thing that everyone’s wearing.” she says. “They’re looking for something unique and one-of-akind, so I keep an eye out for items that are beautiful and unusual.”

Amanda Todd’s legacy The tragic tale of Amanda Todd is evolving by the minute. Sadly, it was several years of torment and abuse, as described on cue cards in her nine-minute Youtube video, that led her to take her own life last week, a month shy of her 16th birthday. It was not a sweet life, but one that has resonated around the world, as evidenced by the 14.5 million views of her trending video. It took a wrong turn when Amanda was coaxed into flashing her breasts while participating in an online chat several years ago. That photo was then repeatedly shared with her family and friends, teachers and strangers, after she refused to perform more. Every time she changed schools, it followed her, as did the taunts – ‘whore,’ ‘porn star.’ It’s difficult enough for teenagers to keep their heads up in the hallways if they have even a pimple on their face. Amanda must have felt like she was naked all the time. She struggled with anxiety and panic disorder, depression, abused drugs and alcohol. She admittedly made poor decisions, which led to more abuse, bullying. She was physically assaulted, then tried to kill herself. Amanda received help. Police visited her and investigated, as they continue to do. We don’t know for certain what caused Amanda to take her own life. But bullies are being blamed, and possibly an online pedophile.

R AESIDE

That’s what the video is about. That is her legacy. Watch it. Read her words. She felt alone. She needed someone. That is what bullying is, not just the harmful words, but the isolation. It can be devastating, especially to a young person. Amanda didn’t want others to feel the way she did, for people to be quick to judge, to pile on, rather to speak up if someone is being mistreated. And she used Youtube, just as many young girls before her, to spread her message. That is the overarching story here, the role electronic information sharing played in this tragedy, the dangers of it. From the chat room to group emails to social media to Youtube, to who knows how many text messages, information can be shared in an instant. People aren’t as forgiving on the other side of a screen as they are in person. And as Amanda said herself, she could never get the picture back. There will always be bullies as long as there are vulnerable people. And, unfortunately, as seen with the memorial Facebook page for Amanda, some people are ill. We can teach our younger ones to watch out for them, to be careful, how to avoid pitfalls, help pick them up and brush off when they do stumble. Teach them many things. But don’t forget compassion. ~ Black Press (Maple Ridge News)

Fantasies won’t keep the ferries afloat

VICTORIA – It was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when I took my first all-transit trip from Victoria to Vancouver for a B.C. Lions football game. Despite all the doomsaying about people shunning ferries because of some media-determined “tipping point” in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsawwassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds, and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus, walk-on passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. Th is explains the surge in walk-on traffic. BC Ferries issued bulletins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. The Tsawwassen First

Nation’s shuttle parking next door was overflowing, with cars tucked into every level space. And even with hourly sailings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all available vessels running. Now the long, late summer is gone, and the political theatre resumes. Tom Transpor tation Mar y FLETCHER Minister Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, reminding people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of running vessels a third full or less. This comes as “consultation” begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it

follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered B.C. Ferry Commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about four per cent in each of the next three years. The NDP’s ferry critic, North Coast MLA Garry Coons, has also decided to transition to his government pensions next year. But before he sails away, he has doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two. Along with every coffee-shop know-it-all on the coast, Coons perpetually reminds us that ferries are “part of our highway system.” He remains convinced that this financially illiterate cliché somehow deals with the fact that even a subsidy approaching $200 million this year can’t keep all those boats afloat forever. A family of four on a long driv-

ing trip faces similar price increases, when you factor in tolls, insurance, food and other costs beyond the fuel tank. But for some reason the “government” is supposed to provide special relief to those who choose the most inaccessible places to live. Coons’ latest tack is that BC Ferries has lost its way, trying to be a fancy cruise ship service instead of giving people basic transportation at an affordable price. That would be terrible if it were true. But those amenities on newer vessels are there because they make money, utilizing staff who have to be on board anyway. As everyone but the NDP seems to grasp, the big costs are fuel, maintenance, and minimum crew levels to meet federal regulations, regardless of passenger revenue. I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new

Coastal-class ferries kept vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. Good thing somebody was able to understand ferries as a business, as opposed to a welfare program for the reclusive and the rich. BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the Tsawwassen-Duke point route. As described in an earlier column, this needlessly long run is the biggest boondoggle in BC Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today. Changes will now come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them.

ment of risk and with pipelines there is the risk of a spill. There is absolutely no way all risk can be prevented. What we need to be assured of is that nothing has been missed and that the proposed pipelines will be built to a very high standard to minimize spills and that reasonable measures are in place to deal with any spill that might occur. The notion that an oil spill will destroy the environment forever is also nonsense. Has anyone heard of the Second World War and all the oil tankers and ships that were sunk and the oil stor-

Pipelines transport benefits Anyone reading the concerns being expressed by the opponents of the Northern Gateway Pipeline and the Trans Mountain Pipeline would think these companies build pipelines that are designed to leak. This is nonsense. The lost oil alone can be a major expense to the company. Add to that the cost of cleaning up an oil spill to current day standards and the legal liabilities involved and it seems obvious that from a company and share holder perspective spills must be kept to an absolute minimum.

It is time to move forward, put the necessary safety measures in place and build these pipelines. Jack Carradice Chilliwack

Local NDP keeping the faith such as Chilliwack, where there are many Christian churches, I am often amazed that many people fail to recognize the fact that the NDP was founded by Christian ministers. They felt at the time that this country needed a faith-based political entity that reached out to the poor, the disenfranchised — in other words, those

same people who Christ often ministered to. It is therefore utterly ridiculous when some people who claim to be faith-based, tell you that they can’t bring themselves to vote NDP. It can be said that they are actually going against the teachings of Christ. Instead of supporting a grass-roots political entity such as the

Readers urged to voice concerns about WTE There are some stupid people in the world and it seems that some of them managed to get elected and allegedly represent the public interest on the waste management committee of Metro Vancouver. I am, of course, referring to the proposed waste-to-energy plant (WTE) for handling combustible waste materials, most of which can be recycled. That takes effort, but some still think that burning is the best. They are under the illusion that once incinerated, the bad is made good, as if by some magical process. Wherever incinerators are installed, the health of those

living downwind deteriorates. Various cancers and respiratory problem rates go up, and people die before their time. While it is hard to directly lay the blame on the WTE plant, because the origin of the offending particulates are hard to pinpoint, and health authorities don’t bother to investigate, but the figures speak for themselves. And now they want to burn hazardous materials, too! Speak up people. Let these crazy politicians know that you don’t share their enthusiasm for WTE. Do you want to become collateral damage? Gary Huntbatch

NDP, they often vote for a political entity that is supported by the wealthy elite who sometimes are in it “for what they can gain personally”. Is this Christ-like? I doubt it. Although the NDP is open to people of all faiths; the fact remains that its historic base is of a Christian tradition.

Trischa Buhler’s parents wanted the best for their two daughters. They went out of their way to ensure that their horizons were expanded and there was also the expectation that they would learn to play a musical instrument. Trischa started out on the piano but after awhile she began to lose interest and it was at this point that she made the switch to the clarinet. This woodwind instrument revived her interest and she soon began to explore other instruments. “I also learned to play the trumpet, trombone, French horn, bassoon, the bass guitar and the drums”, she listed. While she was quite proficient on a great number of instruments by the time she hit high school, she quickly added the tenor sax to her list so that she could join the Chilliwack Senior jazz band. “At that time, high schools didn’t have music for clarinets so Janine Webster, who was Ms. McNichol at the time, suggested that I take it up,” she said. Trischa has never looked back and for the last seven years has been playing in orchestra pits and enjoying every minute of it. “For the last two years, I Ana have been playMacedo ing in shows in Vancouver. The last one that I did was the Chutzpah! Festival which is held annually at the Norman Rothstein Theatre and celebrates Jewish arts and culture,” she explained. After high school, she attended the University of Victoria, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Music, majoring in education. “After UVic, I taught in Burns Lake for eight years. I taught band and jazz band in a high school for grades 7 through 12, but I also taught English, math and communications.” Burns Lake is a small community located west of Prince George and while it is a lovely community, surrounded by nature and with numerous options for recreational enthusiasts, it is still a small community, nonetheless.

who lived in the Lower Mainland their entire life, that can be rather isolating. “They have great cross-country skiing trails and I did some of that but teaching and prepping for class was definitely the biggest part of my life,” she admitted. Trischa met her husband in Burns Lake and after a few years of married life, they made the decision to leave the northern community for the Lower Mainland. “We started off living in New West and for two years I worked at a Sylvan Learning Centre in White Rock but then I decided to do something altogether different,” she said. She enrolled at Stenberg College and took their veterinarian assistant course. “We moved to Chilliwack, which is where I had grown up, and for three years, I worked at Sardis Animal Hospital.” After her son Noah was born, she left her position at the animal hospital and decided to devote her time to her family. Eventually, she began teaching clarinet and sax out of her home, something that she continues to do to this day. “I will teach anyone; from beginners to the more advanced. I love doing it and it’s something that I’m good at,” she enthused. For three years, she also co-conducted the Chilliwack Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, along with David Voth. “We shared the conducting responsibilities and I worked with the wind instruments while David handled the string instruments. He’s amazing at what he does and we were a good team. I loved

every minute of it but after three years I just needed to pull back and I had to start doing things with my family,” she explained. Trischa is currently working with Chilliwack School of Performing Arts and her five year old son, Noah, seems to be following in his mother’s footsteps. “He was involved with CSOPA’s ‘Playmates’ program designed for three- to five-yearolds and he absolutely loved it. Stefanie Swinnard teaches the program and she is so good,” she smiled. Soon after that experience, Trischa was asked if she would allow Noah to be part of this past summer’s Theatre under the Stars production of Titanic. She consented and Noah was excited to play the part of young Jack Thayer. “My son is a mature five-year-old but still, he learned so much about patience, about working together and sharing the spotlight. It was a great performance with a huge cast. There were 45 cast members and 21 orchestra members; I was among them. Noah had a wonderful experience and a colleague of mine stood in for me in the orchestra pit for one of the nights so that I could actually sit in the audience to watch it. It was just amazing,” she said, proudly. The laid back, FG Leary, kindergarten student has now decided that he’d like to take up tap lessons and hopes to become a music director when he grows up. If he’s anything like his mother, there’s no doubt that he’ll excel.

works with the BCTF. These two goals will require compromise on all sides of the table, including ours.” BCTF president Susan Lambert said she welcomes the review of the bargaining structure, but is skeptical about the latest promise of meaningful consultation. “It seems to me that talk of a 10-year contract is putting the cart before the horse,” Lambert said. “There seem to be conclusions drawn that would be properly a product of the bargaining table and not a product of a discussion on the bargaining structure.” The offer comes as the BCTF continued a court challenge to a twoyear wage freeze that extends until June 2013. After a year of fruitless negotiations and workto-rule by teachers, the union membership

endorsed the two-year contract extension reached in June with gover nment-imposed mediator Charles Jago. McRae said the review will take advantage of work currently being done by a task force of school trustees, and two previous reviews completed by independent mediators. In his 2007 report,

he wants to have consultations with teachers, trustees, parent advisory councils and administrators complete by the end of November. “If there are policy changes or legislative amendments that we need to make, we want to get this work done before bargaining resumes next spring,” McRae said.

Metro Vancouver lowers bar for incineration alternatives

Metro Vancouver will set a lower bar for emerging waste-toenergy technologies to be considered when it calls for bidders to build a new plant to consume a big chunk of the region’s garbage. Proponents must have recently operated a reference plant somewhere in the world where they can prove their technology processes at least 25,000 tonnes per year of municipal garbage. That’s a much lower threshold than Metro staff had previously envisioned but a majority of the regional district’s zero waste committee endorsed the change Thursday. It’s also a lot less than the 370,000 tonnes per year in extra wasteto-energy capacity the region plans to build by 2018. The compromise aims to satisfy Vancouver councillors, who oppose conventional garbage incineration outright but – after failing to block it entirely – want to give alternative technologies a fighting chance of being chosen. On the other side of the debate are directors who think massburn incineration will ultimately be the most efficient, cost-effective solution and fear Vancouver’s quest for a greener, newer system may prove unworkable, too costly or both. Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer had proposed to set the bar even lower – at just 15,000 tonnes processed by emerging technology a year – but other directors rejected that. “That is scary for me,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who supports incineration as a tried-and-true option. He suggested Vancouver is happy to fight incineration not simply out of aspirations to be seen as a green city, but because it owns the Vancouver Landfill in Delta, where it has cheap garbage disposal that’s separate from Metro’s system. “They’ve got the

Vancouver Landfill at a significantly reduced cost compared to what all the rest of us are paying.” Reimer rejected

that accusation, saying Vancouver council is not pro-landfill. “We would love to get out of the landfill business,” she said,

adding she fears that if the region invests in mass-burn incineration it will end up “feeding the beast” – sending too much garbage to

They only measure five to seven inches across, but they really produce lots of little, five to eight pound fruits in eight weeks. They make great pies too. Pumpkin seeds, which are very high in vitamins, are a delicacy in the Middle East. With the development of two new varieties, ‘Tricky Jack’ and ‘Lady Godiva’, there are now hull-less seeds, which can be eaten like peanuts when lightly roasted. From Japan comes a new edible seed variety called ‘Kakai’. It’s awesome, and its fresh seeds are sweet and nutlike. We all know about those scrumptious pumpkin pies. Another delicious pumpkin dish is made by baking or steaming pumpkin meat, then seasoning it with butter, salt, pepper and molasses. Pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies stuffed with raisins are popular favourites. In the Caribbean Islands, one of the staple foods is pumpkin soup. The Land Pavilion in Epcot Centre at Disneyworld, Florida, is experimenting with pumpkins as a food source for space expeditions. Trained upward along ropes, the vines grow about 30 feet high and are loaded with perfect 10- to 15-pound pumpkins. It is nice to think that the Jack O’Lantern we carve on Halloween to keep the evil spirits away has a great history and an even brighter future. Let’s hear it for pumpkins!

Cheaper U.S. flights lure cross-border fliers Jeff Nagel

Black Press

Flights out of U.S. airports like Bellingham are about 30 per cent cheaper than in Canada due to a combination of higher costs, taxes and fees north of the border. That’s one of the findings in a new report by the Conference Board of Canada that analyzes the reasons behind the price gap. Report author Vijay Gill estimates five million Canadians cross

There are also more discount carriers in the U.S. that pay lower wages than Canadian carriers and compete aggressively on price.

There’s no single reason behind the price gap, but Gill concluded some of the biggest factors are lower leasing and depreciation costs for U.S. carriers, much lower airport landing and terminal fees, and generally lower fuel costs.

Community

Teleworkshops offer hope for families Researchers are giving new hope to Chilliwack families coping with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Already one in 11 Canadians over 65 lives with the diseases. And since age is the highest risk factor, that number is expected to soar as the population continues to get older. Advances in research are offering new reasons for optimism, though, including new tools that may allows doctors to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier, and with more certainty. Families can get the latest information, without even leaving their homes, thanks to an Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop being offered on Thursday, Oct. 25 by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Vancouver geriatrician Dr. Philip Lee will explain how research advancements might translate into clinical care for local residents. Researchers are exploring new interventions for people diag-

nosed with dementia, and non-pharmacological interventions such as exercise and diet that may also reduce the risk of the disease. Dr. Lee contributes to research but also works with patients at UBC’s Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Clinic as well as St. Paul’s Hospital Department of Geriatric Medicine. The Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop runs from 7 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 25. Residents can access

it via telephone, with optional online slides. Pre-registration is not necessary. A few minutes before the session, participants simply dial toll-free 1-866-994-7745, then enter the pass code of 1122333.

Leading Ladies promises ‘pure entertainment’ Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

It’s a lighthearted farce with a couple of love stories thrown in. Leading Ladies, the play by Ken Ludwig, opens Oct. 18 at the Cultural Centre, in the latest production by the Chilliwack Players’ Guild. “You have to suspend credulity to believe in the outlandish plot lines of Leading Ladies,” says director Graham Archer. “But everyone is gullible in a

farce. That’s what leads to the hilarious situations they get into.” The ‘leading ladies’ are two Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, who find themselves performing on the backwater circuit. When an elderly lady is about to leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they decide to try to pass themselves off as her relatives to get their hands on the cash. The plot thickens when it turns out the relatives in ques-

tion aren’t nephews at all, but nieces. “Max” and “Steve” are actually “Maxine” and “Stephanie,” but they continue on, undaunted, dressed in drag to gain the inheritance. There’s a nod to the movie, Some Like it Hot, with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis dressing up as women, says the director. “Ludwig put in a couple of elements, like the tango scene which remind you of Jack Lemmon,” he says.

“It’s very funny.” Some of the comedy is physical, with a roller-skating session and some chase scenes. “Two guys walking in high heels is pretty physical.” It helps if you know a little about William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Archer says. “Ludwig uses that play to show off some of the more humorous moments.” In Leading Ladies, a young woman playing a man in the Twelfth Night is being wooed by a man who is dressed as a

The Tony Award winning Broadway show, Titanic: the Musical, is coming to The Cultural Centre on October 28, at 7:30. Visually stunning and accompanied by live musicians, this presentation by The Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society, takes you on board the doomed ship as the hopes and dreams are recounted by ghosts from the ocean floor. With a cast of 30 professional performers, the chorus scenes have all the glory of Broadway, presenting the story of one of the greatest tragedies in a powerful and moving production that remains sensitive to the lives that were lost. Winner of five 1997 Tony Awards, Titanic the Musical has been thrilling audiences across North America and now docks in Chilliwack as part of the Canadian leg of the tour. The Main Theatre will be transformed into the ill-fated ship as we go back a century and are told the story of a stoker, a lookout, and a telegraph operator revealing their perspectives why Titanic was going too fast, saw the iceberg too late, and could not summon help to arrive in time. The boat is cleverly represented on stage while the story follows several passengers and crew members through their tales of love and tragedy on the ominous day. Aspirations of those aboard the fateful ship range from third class passengers that dream of a better life in the New World, to the Edwardian first class and the very rich and famous of the time desperate to maintain their lifestyle. New York’s Windwood Theatricals and Boebe Productions have been touring this large production throughout the United States and now are on the Canadian leg of the tour. Their credits include national tours of The Music Man, Cabaret, Bye Bye Birdie, Little Women, and Urban Cowboy the Musical. On the 100th anniversary of its tragic journey, Titanic the Musical tells the story of the ship’s launch on her maiden voyage, the collision with the iceberg, and the tragic sinking – all told through the eyes of characters from the era. The “what ifs” are asked: what if there had been sufficient Continued: TITANIC/ p35

Porter remembers his musical beginnings Jessica Peters Black Press

Mur ray Por ter remembers the day his life changed. He was about 14 years old, living in Ontario on the Six Nations Reserve. “If you went under the covers you could sometimes catch radio stations from all over,” he says. “I heard B.B. King sing The Thrill is Gone, and that was it.” It was then, he knew, that music would be his life’s path. “That was my life changing moment,” he said. But that’s not the only

WE CONTINUE TO RAISE THE BAR.

turn of fate that led him to music. His mother bought his sister a piano, because she wanted to take lessons. “I would go in the room and listen,” he says. “She would try to play but she couldn’t get it right. I would go in after she left, and get it right.” It’s a story of sibling competition and rivalry that he still enjoys telling today, and laughs heartily about the turns of events. “She gets mad about it even now,” he says. “And if she sees this story, she’ll get mad again!” He’s joking, of course, and adds that his sister is very supportive of his work. And that family support has helped. Porter is now a Junowinning blues artist, having won the Juno earlier this year for Best Aboriginal Recording of the Year. Now, he’s busy promoting his newest CD, Songs Lived and Life Played. He’ll be at Harrison Memorial Hall on Oct.

Murray Porter will play Harrison Memorial Hall on Oct. 20.

20, as part of this year’s Harrison Festival of the Arts series. Some music fans may remember his performance on the beach during the Festival of the Arts this year. “I was the guy with the deep voice,” he said during a recent phone interview. He’ll be bringing along his band mem-

bers, Rick Boulter on guitar, Helene Duguay on bass and Chris Nordquist on drums. Porter will be on the keys, where he’s been happiest since discovering his talent by chance so many years ago. presents Later this year, he’ll go to the Aboriginal People’s Choice Awards and the Western Canadian Music Awards,

where he’s also nominated for numerous awards. While Porter has obvious aboriginal roots, his music style is mainly blues and roots. presents He has traveled around the world playing music, including three deployments with the Canadian Forces playing for the troops.

Scene

Porter plays Harrison Porter from page 32 “I walked on the pyramids because of my music,” Porter says. “It’s opened so many doors for me. I’ve done things I would have never been able to do without music.” As for the recent Juno win, it wasn’t something he was ever expecting. “I was nominated before but I had never won,” he says. “It’s a surreal moment because no one knows until they open that envelope. You always expect to lose because you don’t want to be disappointed. We’re all deserving and it’s on the whim of the judges who will win.” But in the end, it was just pure elation. “To hear your name called out is really quite a moment,” he said. Tickets are $22 and can be purchased by phone at 604-796-3664, online at www.harrisonfestival.com or in person at the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison, or Agassiz Shoppers Drug Mart.

Ghosts of Titanic set to tell their tales Titanic from page 30 lifeboats? What if the ship hadn’t been traveling at full speed so as to reach its destination in record time? What if a nearby ship had gotten Titanic’s SOS? In the end, all the characters find that money, class, and all the dreams in the world mean nothing to the power of the sea when it claims the sadly crippled “unsinkable” ocean liner.

many areas of life. • Be an active parent: parents and children flourish when they are closely connected, share special time together, and share interests. • Philanthropy: From encouraging them to donate their old toys to people in need to making it a part of your routine to donate time to worthy causes. The benefits include improving self esteem, confidence, and tolerance. • Control and autonomy over one’s own space provides a level of confidence and self esteem that cannot be gained in other ways. Parents who allow their children to self-express with their image, identity, and room décor promote self esteem. • Choices lead to consequences, address the behaviour separate from the person, and not all consequences need to be emotional: Help your child understand from a young age that the choic-

es they make leads to consequences, both good and bad. But love unconditionally, expressing feeling about the choice made but always making sure your child know that you love them no matter what. And when you can keep your own emotion out of the equation and allow the consequences of your child’s actions to dictate the result of their choice, they will learn self-reliance. Positive parenting really fits for me, because everyday I remember that I chose selfishly, willingly, and knowingly to bring my little one into this world: for me, for us, to build our family, to become a meaningful member of society. And therefore, everyday I am grateful and appreciative of him as a gift and of his own unique gifts.

Fitness

Reach your weight loss goals through better fitness The number one reason most people improve their eating habits and start exercising is to lose weight. Sometimes the inspiration is spurred when clothes no longer fit, or when one sees a photo Tanja of themselves Shaw and are shocked at how they look. There’s nothing wrong with having a weight loss goal, or weighing in on a regular basis to track progress. In fact, they’ve shown that the people who weigh in on a regular basis are the ones who maintain their weight loss. Weight loss is exciting, and it should be! The problem, however, occurs when the number on the scale is your only gauge of success, or is the only source of motivation to exercise, or if the number determines how you feel about yourself. If weight loss is not as quick as expected, or if one experiences a weight gain, selfdefeating thoughts will undoubtedly surface. It’s easy to become discouraged and believe that any attempt to lose weight is futile. So how do you stop focusing exclusively on weight loss? Easy. Set a fitness goal. A fitness goal creates purpose to your workout. Having a purpose and plan to your workouts is way more satisfying than simply exercising to burn the extra calories. Examples of fitness goals are committing to exercising 20 minutes per day, five days per week, training for an event, or being able to complete 10 push-ups from your toes. Once you have a fitness goal, think about food as a way to help you get to your goal. Instead of food being there to help you, or to comfort you when you are sad, food is used to fuel your body to reach your goal. You don’t eat veggies because they are low in calories, you eat them because they are a great source of vitamins to keep your body in peak condition. Instead of skipping breakfast, enjoy your whole grain toast and eggs for because they

will give you energy for the day. For your afternoon snack, choose to eat a banana because you’ll soon be going for a run and you want to

make sure your energy stores are topped up. You choose nutrient rich foods (such as nuts, fruit and lean protein) over empty

calories (such as pop or donuts) because of what it does for your body. The result of reaching a fitness goal, and

fuelling your body correctly to get there, is usually weight loss. However, instead of focusing simply on a number on the scale,

you’ll focus on becoming a strong, fit person. Now that’s inspiring!

Tanja Shaw is a Kinesiologist and Fitness Coach, specializing in weight loss, group fitness, pre

and postnatal fitness, and health and wellness programs. She owns Ascend Fitness Coaching, home to Ascend Fitness Boot Camp, Stroller Boot Camp, and personal training programs. For more fitness tips go to www.ascendfitnesscoaching.com.

Chilliwack student earns $2,000 award Local student Jodene Les is now $2,000 closer to reaching her educational goals after winning the 2012 Envision Financial Education Award. Sixteen of these $2,000 scholarships are awarded annually to secondary and post-secondary students throughout the province who are Envision members and have demonstrated outstanding scholastic ability combined with exceptional community volunteer service. Chilliwack resident Jodene Les is among this year’s winners. Jodene has shown a passion for music and mentoring, using her musical talents to engage and entertain residents of Heritage Village senior’s home and her passion for mentoring to work with children who have hearing loss and other special needs. She has also been an active volunteer at her church, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ruth and Naomi Street Ministry and many other organizations. Jodene is excited to start her bachelor of science degree at the University of the Fraser Valley. “We are pleased to recognize the hard work and dedication that Jodene has shown to both her education and her community,” says Shelley Besse, President of Envision Financial. “Jodene is a shining example of an up-and-coming community leader and we wish her well on her education journey.” Over the last 16 years, the Envision Financial Education Award has provided nearly a half million dollars in scholarship funds to help a total of 237 students throughout B.C. finance their educations.

Domestic violence has NO place in our community.

Specialized Victim Assistance Program

Being a victim or witness to crime, violence or abuse is a role no one is prepared for. If it happens to you, help is available. And it can happen to anyone.

Chilliwack Community Services provides services for victims of power-based crimes – specifically relationship abuse and sexual assault.

While it is more common that women experience domestic violence, it happens to people of different ages, abilities, cultural and economic backgrounds. It happens to women and men regardless of sexual orientation. Domestic violence is any form of violent or abusive behaviour during or after a relationship ends. Domestic violence happens in all types of relationships: dating, common law, marriage. While many types of domestic violence are criminal offences, all types of domestic violence – physical and sexual assaults, threats, harassment and other forms of emotional abuse, financial abuse and exploitation – are never okay. Respect, validation and empowerment are key to the recovery of those who have experienced adult or childhood sexual assault, or physical and emotional abuse.

Purple bulbs are lighting up Chilliwack this month.

• To adults and children, male and female, who have experienced recent or past victimization. • Free of charge and on a voluntary basis. • Justice system information, safety planning, and support. • Emotional support specific to the unique needs of each individual. • Information and application forms for crime victim assistance benefits and victim impact statements. • Practical assistance, information and referrals to counselling and other agencies for additional support.

“When someone puts a purple bulb to light up on their front porch or in a window, it can serve to spark a conversation about domestic violence”.

Red-hot Chiefs face tall task on Island Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

A long stretch of home hockey has come to an end for the Chilliwack Chiefs, who now hit the road for seven straight games. The Chiefs played six of their previous eight in the friendly confines of Prospera Centre. Coincidentally or not, they played their best hockey over that stretch, and carry an unbeaten-in-six string onto the road with them. Head coach Harvey Smyl hopes the momentum joins them on the bus as they visit the Nanaimo Clippers Friday, Alberni Valley Bulldogs Saturday and Powell River Kings Sunday. “There are two things that have been happening lately,” Smyl said when asked to explain his team’s turnaround. “We’re developing

good work habits and the guys have learned how to be better prepared to play. That’s one thing and the other is that we now have a bit more chemistry.” Smyl never completely stops mixing and matching his lineup, but he has kept some lines intact. The best has been the trio of Austin Plevy, Luke Esposito and Josh Hansen. “There’s still going to be bumps in the road, but those three like playing with each other and they’re good playing with each other,” Smyl said. “Top to bottom I think we’ve got some good cohesiveness, where everybody seems to be happy doing what they’re asked to do.” Even with their hot run, the Chiefs still haven’t taken the outright lead in the dogfight that is the Mainland division.

Entering weekend play, the Coquitlam Express hold a one point lead over the second place Chiefs, albeit with Chilliwack holding one game in hand.

“I’m pleased with being down here and I love the rivalry games,” Smyl said of life in the BCHL’s toughest top-tobottom division. “The games are extremely

fun to coach and way more intense. From a player standpoint, as they learn more of the history, the games are going to get even getter.”

The Chiefs have faced Friday night’s opponent once already this season, beating the Clippers 2-1 in early September. They haven’t seen

the Bulldogs yet this year, but they handed Powell River a 3-0 Sept. 28 at Prospera Centre. Get a weekend wrap in the Tuesday sports section.

Bantam Giants win battle of top-ranked teams

Chilliwack’s bantam Giants made a statement in a Friday night football game against the Abbotsford Falcons, bombing the visitors 42-6 at Townsend Park. The first place Giants came into the game 5-0, facing a second place Abbotsford team with just one blemish on its record (4-1). Quarterback Hunter Larocque guided the

Chilliwack offence, going five-of-nine passing for 69 yards and two touchdowns. Larocque found the endzone twice on his own, scrambling nine times for 81 yards. His TD tosses went to Thijs Duineveld and Colton Derouin. Running back Nashon Douglas helped out with 10 carries, 65 yards and two touchdowns. Thomas Heuser and Cam Lampart combined for another 70 rushing yards. On the other side of the ball, the game matched Chilliwack’s top ranked defence against Abby’s top ranked offence. It was no contest.

The Giant D yielded just seven first downs the entire game, led by hard-hitting inside linebackers Jace Harden and Mike Folland. They shut down Abby’s inside running game, with help from outside linebacker Rajah Sandhu and defensive lineman Chris Derksen. Chilliwack recovered three fumbles and produced two interceptions, with Heuser and Larocque grabbing errant Abby passes. Lane Levesque, Lampart and Emerson Harvey had the fumble recoveries. Cornerback Cole Wood also had an outstanding game. With the win, the

Giants clinched first place and a home playoff date with an opponent to be determined. “This is an excellent team and the boys have become a family and play as one,” said head coach Mike Derksen. “Words cannot say how proud we are as coaches with this team and how focused they have become.” ● The midget Giants took over second place with a 38-21 win over the North Surrey Bears. Chilliwack’s passing game was functioning to perfection in this one. Well protected by linemen Brennen Breuker, Paul Anghel, Reid McMorris, Carson

Allinott and Clayton Cullen, quarterback Klay Larocque threw a touchdown toss to Jake Creasey just four minutes in. North Surrey’s next possession ended with a fumble, forced by Michael Popovici and recovered by Brandon Tooke. Larocque made them pay right away, sailing another pass to Creasey for the second Chilliwack major. Deion Bain scored the third Giant touchdown, outrunning the Bears D to make the score 21-0. Perry Ross forced another Bears fumble, which was recovered by Richard Avery. Two plays later,

Larocque hooked up with Robert Begg and Chilliwack had a four TD lead. Owen DeVries booted all four converts. The Bears cut the lead in half in the third quarter, but their momentum was squashed with another fumble, forced by Popovici. Bain scored the final Chilliwack major, and Devries added a late field goal to wrap up the scoring. ● The peewee Blue Giants picked up their second win of the season on Saturday, taking an 18-0 home field win over the Langley Bears. Great blocking by running back Kurtis Flynn and wideouts

Liam Dallas and Trei Lindstrom helped spring Quinn Venier for three touchdowns. Quarterback Hudson Harvey and running back Nick Butler added 75 yards of combined offence, along with a couple of sacks on defence. The Giants D was solid with two interceptions by Cole Hurst, and outstanding play by linebacker Colton Holt. Jayden Okoth, Thomas Lafond and Nathan McInnis came up with several big tackles. The peewees play a must win game Saturday in Meadow Ridge, trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Long time coming for Huskers Chiefs rolling Eleven hundred and four days. That’s how many passed between regular season wins for the BC Football Conference Chilliwack Huskers. From Oct. 3, 2009 and a 28-25 triumph over the now-defunct Vancouver Trojans, the Huskers and their fans suffered through two 0-10 seasons. They were on the cusp of a third until last Saturday, when they finally found their way onto the proper side of the scoreboard. On a soggy day at Exhibition Stadium, the Huskers found their way past the visiting Kamloops Broncos, taking a 17-10 decision. Their final record in 2012. A wince-worthy 1-9. But for the first time in recent memory, the team can go into an offseason on a high note, and perhaps buy into the notion that there are better days ahead. “You got this sense of a weight being lifted off your shoulders,” happy head coach Tyson St. James said of the seconds after the final whistle blew. “Watching the guys celebrate, that’s what you do it for. To see what they accomplished after such a long and enduring season, what’s what all of us were doing it for.” Travis Mackie was one of those players,

These positive results have put the Chiefs into 18th place in the lastest junior A rankings, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Hockey season is back, and so is Jacob Bestebroer. The local hockey guru returns with his weekly column, providing thoughts on the Chilliwack Chiefs and goings on around the BCHL. This week, Bestebroer talks about Chilliwack’s recent reversal of fortune and a tough weekend ahead.

As wins go, last Saturday’s 17-10 win for the Chilliwack Huskers wasn’t pretty. But it was memorable in the mud for a team that hadn’t claimed victory in over three years. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

the only player on the Chilliwack sideline who was playing his final BCFC game. Mackie started in the Howie Zaron era and endured a whole lotta losing. More than any other player, Mackie was the one St. James was happiest for. “It’s been four pretty dry years for him,” St. James said. “But after all that, he was still talking about how much the team progressed this

year and how much fun he had.” The team started with 70 players at training camp. Half those players were long gone by the time Saturday rolled around. “We had 35 guys who stuck with it, guys who wanted to be on the field, wouldn’t give up and wanted to put it all on the line,” St. James gushed. “Sometimes you learn more from

defeat than from success, and those guys kept buying in. It’s a testament to them that they wanted to learn those life lessons.” For the record, Chilliwack native Josh Hayden and fellow running back Ty Derayos had rushing touchdowns, and Dan Erickson knocked through a 32 yard field goal. Chilliwack’s defence picked up four inter-

ceptions, two by Kris Bush and one apiece from Erickson and Dan Coffin. Travis Shields had a fumble recovery. All of them left the field Saturday believing it won’t be another 1,104 days between wins. “We’ve got the guys and the culture we can build on,” St. James said. “We’re already putting our shoulder back into it, getting ready for next year.”

Olympians on hand for ultimate raffle draw

Tickets for Chilliwack FC’s Ultimate Raffle are just above 60 per cent sold with the draw date now 10 days away.

CFC president Andrea Laycock believes there will be a late push, aided by news that Olympic athletes Sophie Schmidt, Brittany Timko and Emily Zurrer will be in town for the Oct. 27 draw. Through the support of the Fraser Valley Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre and Waterstone Law Group, the three members of Canada’s bronze medal winning women’s

soccer team will pull the lucky winners. The prizes up for grabs are impressive. Someone will drive off in a 2012 Ford Escape Limited from Chilliwack Ford. Someone else will win a 2012 Harley Davidson Sportster from Mountainview Harley Davidson. Two vacation packages are up for grabs, a trip for four to Disneyland (including air fare, hotel, and park

passes) and a trip for two to Las Vegas. Both trips have been provided by Roblin Travel. Musicworx Audio Video Unlimited has put up a state-of-the-art home entertainment system. The draw will take place at 2 p.m. at the Landing Sports Centre on Spadina Avenue. The Olympians will stick around after wards, signing autographs until 4 p.m.

Funds raised through the raffle will go towards helping the City of Chilliwack lay artificial turf on the practice area at Exhibition Field when it is converted to the artificial surface in 2013. Raffle tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at the Chilliwack FC office or by calling 604-702-0090. Single tickets hold 1 in 2000 odds of winning. Get more info at chiliwackfc.com

Coombes scores winner in final minute of match Chilliwack’s U-12 United Select soccer girls edged Pitt Meadows 3-2 Saturday. Playing in soggy conditions, the locals dominated the first half and opened the scoring on a strike by Grace MacIsaac. Grace Vandenbrink doubled the lead soon after. Chilliwack kept the pressure up, with

Kennedy Galley, Sydney Dombowsky, Deanna Tuchscherer and Abigail Vandop buzzing around the Pitt Meadows net. Chilliwack keeper Kassidy Nienhuis made some solid stops at the other end, but Pitt Meadows stormed back, putting two behind her to draw even in the second half.

The Chilliwack backline of Amber Feaver, Kalista Kirkness, Madison Steele and Katie Lampen tightened up from there, setting the stage for the winning goal. With just five seconds left on the clock, Miranda Coombes secured victory with a beautiful strike.

The Chilliwack Chiefs have put together a nice run of results, going undefeated in their last six games with the only blemish being a 4-4 tie versus Coquitlam. In last week’s column I called that tie one of the most exciting games ever played at Prospera Centre. Four days later, the Chiefs erased a 3-0 deficit in the final six minutes of a game versus Langley and won 4-3. Overall, maybe not as exciting, but that stunning finish goes down as the wildest I’ve ever seen in our rink. For whatever its worth, these recent positive results have put the Chiefs into 18th place on the latest Canadian junior A rankings. The merit of these rankings can be debated, but it’s nice to see the Chiefs on that list. Things now get a whole lot tougher for Chilliwack. They play their next seven games on the road beginning with three games in two and a half days this weekend. Games Friday in Nanaimo and Saturday in Alberni Valley are followed by a Sunday afternoon game in Powell River, and all three are tough places to play. Nanaimo hasn’t had the start to the season many expected. They’ve earned just 13 points in 11 games so far but have won two straight including a 4-2 win against the high flying Penticton Vees last weekend. There is one thing you can count on from any game involving Nanaimo head coach Mike Vandekamp, and that is that his team will do their best to pay tribute to the early to mid 1970s style of tough hockey. Saturday’s game could be a wild one. Alberni Valley is off to a good start with 16 points in 14 games, but the interesting stat is that they lead the league in goals scored (52) and have allowed the second most goals against (59). Powell River is always a tough place to play. The Kings are not off to a good start this season. They’ve been to the last three league final series, losing all three, but so far this season have won just four of their first 14 games. For the Chiefs to have a successful weekend, their top line of Austin Plevy, Josh Hansen and Luke Esposito will have to continue their recent torrid pace. Plevy and Hansen lead the team with seven goals and Esposito, who has a 10 game point streak going, leads the team and sits fourth in league scoring with 17 points. Maybe more important for success this weekend will be the play of the unsung hero type players. To win on the road you need your energy/ grinder type players to play well, and the play of guys like Tanner Cochrane and Brodyn Neilsen will be key to earning points. The Chiefs then make stops in Vernon, Coquitlam, Penticton and Trail before returning home to the best fan support in the BCHL on Wednesday Nov. 7 versus the Langley Rivermen.

The Chilliwack Progress Thursday, October 18, 2012

LEONARD Allen Fisher

May 21, 1938 October 4, 2012 Leonard passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, Thursday, October 4, 2012 in Chilli- LEONARD wack, BC. He is predeceased by his parents Charles and Ethel Fisher, and his late sister Evelyn. Len is survived by his wife of 52 years, Lorie and their 6 children; Natalie, Leanne, Len Jr., Leslie, Linda and Charles. Len is also fondly remembered by his 12 grandchildren and four great grand-children.

Obituaries

Len spent some of his youth years in the Air Force and Navy cadets, leading to Leonard joining the Navy in 1956 at the age of 18. Starting in Chilliwack, Len was eventually stationed in Halifax, working as a Stoker man with the Navy. It was in Halifax that Len met Lorie, where they married before making Chilliwack home. Len was always an active man, and sports played a large role in his life. Len played soccer with a number of teams including the Lancers and Tribesman , softball, racquet ball at the YMCA, and of course his famous bike rides, â€˜the loopâ€™ as he called it; riding from Chilliwack to Abby, around to Agassiz, then

Wills can be confusing.

back to Chilliwack. Len eventually found his way to cooking, having taken a course through the Dubrelle Culinary Arts Institute and a turn at Charlies Chocolate factory in Vancouver. This led to working at the Stave Lake and Chilliwack Lake correctional facilities as a cook and later as a cooking instructor. Having retired from teaching; Len and Lorie began a new career as entrepreneurs; starting Steetaws Catering, which was a brave and successful move. They became coffee-break and lunch specialists, and famous for their cinnamon buns and bannock. They tried to retire in 2003, selling their equipment to a local community, but were

asked to do jobs for years after that. Len lived for the last three years at Valleyhaven, in Chilliwack, where he received kind and considerate care until his final days. The family thanks all that attended his funeral on October 9th at the Tzeachten Hall, and those who sent their condolences. The family would also like to thank the Tzeachten community, and the Nooksack Indian Tribe for their support.
