Hungry python plucked from back country

FOR GARDEN VISITORS

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The young camper spotted something yellow lurking in the bushes Sunday around Chipmunk Creek. It turned out to be a six-foot long albino ball python. It is being housed safely at the SPCA facility, confirmed Ivanna Ferris, manager of the Chilliwack branch B.C. SPCA. “It’s very disappointing,” said Ferris about the abandoned snake. In fact it’s illegal to abandon an exotic pet in the wild — or any pet for that matter. “It’s quite tragic. Although not everyone has the means to take care of an animal like this, someone at some point loved this creature.” A family from Port Coquitlam had been camping in the Chipmunk Creek area, off Chilliwack Lake Road, when one of their three young daughters spotted what turned out to be the abandoned ball python. “The family had some previous experience with reptiles as pets, and so they were quite comfortable with handling it,” she said. “They knew it was a pet snake and not something indigenous to the area.” They gently retrieved the python, and loaded it in their vehicle and dispatched it to the protective custody of the Chilliwack SPCA facility. “From what we can see he

Oil pipeline may have slowly leaked for ‘weeks’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Trans Mountain pipeline may have been slowly leaking for an extended period of time before Kinder Morgan Canada crews found crude oil on the ground. The small spill now estimated at about five barrels of oil 40 kilometres southwest of Merritt was discovered Wednesday morning and prompted the company to shut down the pipeline. Hugh Harden, Kinder Morgan Canada’s vice-president of operations, said Thursday crews are expected to install a permanent

repair sleeve allowing the line to reopen by Friday evening. He said it’s difficult to say how long oil had been escaping. “I would say it was a matter of days or weeks rather than months or years,” Harden said. “It was a very, very, very slow leak. It’s almost classified as a weep.” At five barrels of oil, the spill would technically be below the National Energy Board’s 1.5 cubic metre (approximately 10 barrel) threshold for reporting spills that don’t reach water courses. Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline in Chilliwack passes through several residential

neighbourhoods and agricultural lands, a route that the planned second line is expected to follow. The only oil spill in Chilliwack’s history was one cubic metre released on the line in 1988, according to the National Energy Board. Kinder Morgan’s documents indicate that the former Wahleach pump station past Rosedale spilled 440 barrels of crude in 2007. Abbotsford’s Sumas Mountain station and line has spilled 2,250 barrels of crude in the last decade. Harden said the Merritt leak was found because Kinder Morgan crews arrived to check

that section of the pipeline after an in-pipe inspection device flagged it as having a potential defect. They noticed an oily patch the size of a wagon wheel and called the control centre, which shut down the pipeline. Otherwise, workers would have excavated the pipe to inspect its exterior for leaks or problems. “The fact that the tool found it is actually a good thing,” Harden said. “It tells us our inspection process is valid and we’re finding these very small defects.” Chilliwack residents along the Continued: PIPELINE/ p4

Timothy Christian scored well in high school rankings Alina Konevski The Progress

Timothy Christian school was ranked 11th provincially by the Fraser Institute this week. The private kindergarten to Grade 12 school received an overall rating of 8.7 out of 10, down slightly from its 9.3 rating last year.

Fraser Institute’s report card on B.C.’s secondary schools compares 284 public and private schools on performance in annual provincial exams, graduation rates, grade-to-grade transition rates, and other factors. Highroad Academy and Unity Christian, two other private K–12 schools, were ranked 26th and 77th in the

province respectively, their overall ratings of 8.2. and 7.0 on par with previous years. The city’s public schools ranked lower. Sardis Secondary came out 117th, Chilliwack Secondary 227th, and GW Graham 236th. One factor contributing to these rankings is the falling graduation rate at all three schools. At Sardis

Secondary, 93 per cent of students graduated from high school in 2012, down from 97 per cent in 2008. At Chilliwack Senior, 91 per cent graduated, a six per cent decline from five years ago. And at GW Graham, 85 per cent of students end up graduating, a ten-point drop over five years. Fraser Institute school

rankings have faced criticism for assessing the performance of a school without regard to socioeconomic factors, such as parental income and the percentage of students with special needs. This year’s report card lists these demographics, but does not use them in the determination of ranking. The percentage of stu-

dents with special needs is marked “not applicable” for Chilliwack’s independent schools, and stands at 8–11 per cent for public schools. Average parental income is $68,367 for the public schools in Chilliwack, and $100,233 for independent schools. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

Sunny conditions for the Pikeminnow Fishing Derby Chris Gadsden

Special to the Progress Hundreds of participants made it to the annual Pikeminnow Fishing Derby at Cultus Lake on Saturday, held in conjunction with the 14th annual BC Family Fishing Weekend. A total of 711 derby contestants found ideal fishing conditions, with sunny skies and calm waters at Cultus Lake from the daybreak until weigh-in at 2 p.m. Educational displays dotted Main Beach for the popular event, attracting large crowds. Cash prizes were handed out for the four largest fish and for the four most pikeminnows caught in both junior and adult divisions. There were prizes as well as cash for the smallest fish, six mystery weights along with about 90 random draws for those that caught fish and for those that had just brought derby tickets. Also there were several specially tagged pikeminows from FVSS swimming in the lake and anyone landing one would be awarded $100. The reins of the derby are now in the hands of Cultus Lake Aquatic Stewardship Strategy (CLASS) who took over from the Fraser Valley Salmon Society after years of service. The FVSS members still conduct the weigh-in of the pikeminnow at the derby.

Cultus Lake was crowded with many anglers along with their families taking part in the annual Pikeminnow Fishing Derby at Cultus Lake on Saturday. CHRIS GADSDEN/ PROGRESS

At closing time, 560 pikeminnows had been landed with junior angler Ethan Zhu taking home the Greg Clarke Memorial Trophy for his .78kg pikeminnow that turned out to be the heaviest of the derby. Kassidy Nienhuis

was in second with a .69kg entry. Cole Rocozinski with a .76kg fish topped the adult division just edging out Dick Devries who landed a .75kg entry. The father/son team of Peter and Tyler Buck again this year ran

one/two in the most fish category, as Tyler edged his dad 52 to 48. Beau Diack also landed 48 but was awarded third place as Peter entered his 48 pikeminnows first. Karena Williams landed the most fish in the junior division

entering 25 with Owen Nelson in second with 22. Lindsay Alsop caught the smallest pikeminnow measuring 83 mm. Out of the 560 pikeminows entered, four were sporting tags that included one specially tagged fish along with three Fisheries and Oceans tags that have been put on fish for a few years as part of a population study of pikeminnows in Cultus Lake. CLASS member Owen Skonberg, and one of the derby organizers said he thought the transition went very well. “As first-time derby organizers, we were amazed at the extent of the support for this event; we only had to mention Cultus and Conservation together, and prizes or services were immediately offered by businesses, exhibitors, or individuals. “It’s obvious that everyone loves Cultus and cares about keeping it alive and clean for future generations. It was a fun day for families, including ours.” David Lamson, also with CLASS added “a great day for everyone, the lake and weather were beautiful, removing excess pikeminnows from the lake gives a better chance for sockeye fry to survive without predation; good sportsmanship shown by everyone for a good time together; and wonderful volunteer help and donated prizes to top off the day.”

Python was habituated to human touch PYTHON from Front seems to be healthy,” said Ferris. “We’re lucky he was found.” The large snake weighs about 10 lbs and they figure he’s pretty hungry. “We suspect it hasn’t eaten in a while.” The snake is headed to the Dewdney Animal Hospital in Maple Ridge, where veterinarian Dr. Adrian Walton will be providing the care required to house and feed the reptile. “He agreed to take it since we’re not equipped here to provide that kind of specialized care,” she said.

It’s not unheard of, finding this type of abandoned exotic pet, said the SPCA official. “It happens. Like last summer we had a similar python found in a park. But overall it’s an infrequent occurrence.” The SPCA staff were all quite nervous about handling the reptile. But clearly he was habituated to human touch. “He’d been handled before,” she noted. She had a message for pet owners. “It’s against the law to abandon your animals, regardless of whether or not this was a situation where someone had a lack of resources.” The challenge is that there are simply not

route of the Trans Mountain pipeline hold an easement agreement from the 1950s indicating that Kinder Morgan has the right-of-way to access their land at any time. The agreement was signed before housing subdivisions were built on top of the pipeline. Tom and Liz Chisholm, on Watson Road, are concerned about Kinder Morgan’s plan to build a twin pipeline tripling capacity to 890,000 barrels per day because of the area’s high water table. Another resident, Sharon Fayant off Canterbury Drive, is considering selling her house because of the expected drop in value with the installation of a second pipeline. “Just because it’s on the existing easement doesn’t mean I want anything to do with a second line,� she said on Thursday.

None of the three households on top of the pipeline with whom The Progress consulted knew what recourse they would have in case of a spill. Environmental groups who oppose Kinder Morgan’s planned twinning held up the Merritt incident as proof spills are inevitable. “By a stroke of luck, the spill did not enter any waterways, saturate a farmer’s field, or worse yet, a school yard,� said Chilliwack resident Jordan Wilson of the Pipe Up Network. “Kinder Morgan says that there has been no impact to any water course and no threat to the public, but what about the next spill?� asked Gabriel George of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation. “They are proving that they can’t eliminate the threat posed by their pipeline.�

Chilliwack Rotar y Garden Tour — nine are privately owned gardens, and the 10th is Minter Gardens. The nine gardens range in size from 2.5 acres to small city-sized lots, like the Clarke garden on Wells Road. And they vary in shape, too. The Fox garden is a steep bowl shape on Sunrise Drive, and the Clouatres own a beautiful corner lot on Wiltshire Road. Each year, the gardens featured on the tour are new. None of the gardens is featured more than once, which makes it new and exciting every year for the guests, says Darke. The tour attracts three different types of visitors — the hardcore gardeners, those looking for ideas for their own garden, and people who are simply out for a nice day in Chilliwack. “The function of the garden tour is to raise money for charity, to give people ideas as to what they can do in their own gardens, plus it’s a community project so that people can see the beauty of Chilliwack,” says Darke. The tour is hosted by the Rotary Club of

Garden Tour brings people from all over the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley to Chilliwack. Many are first-time visitors.

Make it a safe summer out on the water

Summer weather is here, and while our minds may be drifting toward the beach, our brains need to be focused on safety. It’s as predictable as the tide. Every summer, the number of preventable accidents and deaths out on the water rise. While the seasonal increase may seem like a simple yet unfortunate side effect of the masses flocking to our lakes and rivers, it’s high time those numbers decrease. We’re smart enough. We all know the rules and even for those who don’t, the information is out there — as close as your nearest smart phone. May 18 to 24 was the North American Safe Boating Awareness week, a time devoted to educating the public about the many dangers of the water. But those lessons need to go on all year long. On average, 125 people die every year in boating deaths, in Canada alone. In recent years, some of those deaths have happened right here in our backyard. So, we say it again. Be safe this summer. Encourage your friends and family to be safe. Inform tourists and visiting friends that dangers lurk in that natural beauty. And remember the five key safety tips: Wear a lifejacket; Don’t drink and boat; Take a safe boating course; Ensure that you and your vessel are prepared before casting off; Be wary of the dangers of falling into cold water. Your life depends on it. ~ Agassiz-Harrison Observer

L OCALLY G LOBAL

It’s time for everyone to account for water use A recent report published by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Polis Project on Ecological Governance at the University of Victoria makes the case for metering water use in B.C. There is no need more basic than water and much has been said about B.C.’s water security in future years given impacts of climate change, rainfall patterns and shifts in the hydrologic cycle. So taking stock of what we have, how it’s consumed or recycled, and how it is managed seems to be a pretty common sense approach. In ‘Counting Every Drop – the case for water use reporting in B.C.,’ Ben Parfitt writes that there are very little baseline data on water use by major users and makes the argument that the “provincial government should safeguard the public interest by creating a robust, publicly accessible

water use database that covers all withdrawals from both surface and groundwater sources by major users.” No argument there especially, as Parfitt points out, groundwater is critical given that it contributes 23 per cent to water use in the province. But Margaret with no regulation for its use, there EVANS is no database to know exactly how much is used or whether it is properly managed. According to Environment Canada, across the country there are five main water users and they include thermal power generation for both conventional and nuclear power plants (60 per cent with much of it used for cooling), indus-

trial and manufacturing (18.5 per cent), municipal (9.5 per cent), agriculture (8 per cent), and mining (4 per cent). In B.C. hydraulic fracking for shale gas requires large volumes of water under pressure to fracture the subterranean rock and release the gas for capture. The Oil and Gas Commission grants water permits but, as Parfitt, points out, the OGC’s system isn’t refined enough to detail which company under which license withdrew how much water from what stream. A 2011 report by Canada’s National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy also made note of the dismal failure of provinces to account for water use although, as Parfitt pointed out, oil and gas companies in the Peace region and agricultural users in Kelowna’s southeast irrigation district must meter

their water uses at nominal cost for meter installation. Unfortunately, the NRTEE, with a track record of reporting on sustainable development uses to various governments over a 25-year period, was shut down March 31st this year, a victim of last year’s controversial federal budget for a savings of $5 million. There are no surprises that this brought scorn from opposition parties. Liberal MP David McGuinty, who was the NRTEE’s president from 19962004, instantly translated the shutdown as another Conservative move to censor information. The federal government may want to nickel-and-dime its way to a balanced budget but it’s poor judgment to stop valuable research that highlights policy needs to streamline the connectivity between today’s economy and a sustainable environment.

Parfitt noted that, at the provincial level, three factors are driving the need for water metering legislation: the province’s population is climbing; watershed lands are under greater pressure due to multiple developments and resource extraction projects, and climate change will continue to influence the hydrologic cycle. Speaking of that cycle, it should be remembered that on a global scale water is never actually lost. Water that evaporates from a cooling plant or an irrigated field returns to the atmosphere to fall as rain somewhere else on earth. Keeping track of water use could be simple. A permit would detail the license holder, where and how much they can withdraw water, what they actually used, when and why, wastewater treatment, and any fees paid. How painful is that?

EFI is a no-brainer due to benefits They have a French preschool as well for children aged 3-5 that is open to registrations. Secondly, last week the Chilliwack school board did the right thing to move forward with early French immersion (EFI). I grew up in a family of 12 children. Seven of us only speak English and five are fluent in French. I believe, although I have had many amazing opportunities in life, that I missed out not having a second language — my siblings who speak a second language (French in this case) are able to travel with more ease, have had amazing job opportunities. One even travelled the world because of her Frenchspeaking abilities, and they are able to communicate with many Canadians whose first language is French, and communicate effortlessly with travelers from around the world who speak French. It is amazing, the opportunities they have in comparison. Some of my siblings were in EFI in Abbotsford, the others enrolled in late immersion here in Chilliwack. It is agreed that the children who were in EFI had a much broader advantage to those who participated in late immersion. For example, their French was more defined and

they could think in French while speaking, or thinking rather than translating from English to French, or French to English while in a conversation. One of my concerns about moving back to Chilliwack in 2009 was that there was no EFI. I learned about La Vérendrye through word of mouth and although I was not Francophone, found an alternate way to register my son into the school because I witnessed the immense benefits of learning and knowing a second language. To me it was a no-brainer — not only would it help my children academically but socially and possibly economically. I am confident that the EFI program will fill up quickly and that La Vérendrye will be running at full capacity with the new enrollment guidelines. I am excited about the opportunity for our community in moving ahead with EFI in the Chilliwack school district and the opening of registration at La Vérendrye. It will only contribute to the success of our community as a whole and enrich the quality of young adults we introduce into our world.

Drivers need to slow right down

French for what?

Here are some of my thoughts I wanted to share with you and the community of Chilliwack: Learning French as a second language just got easier in Chilliwack in more ways than one. Firstly, this spring L’Ecole La Vérendrye, the public, yes public Francophone school, here in Chilliwack broadened its scope for applications, meaning if you want your child to learn French in a French environment and if you speak French, or your parents speak french or you really want your child to grow up and learn in a French environment, you qualify to register your child in the Francophone curriculum. If you do not speak French, there is a due process of application, but nonetheless you may now register your child. It used to be that one or more of a child’s parents had to be Francophone to register in the Francophone school. La Vérendr ye, here in Chilliwack on Lickman Road, is very happy to see these changes take place and is inviting people to come forward with their registrations for the 2013/14 school year. Since the changes have taken place, they have already seen an increase in enrollment.

“I was only going 40.” That’s what the young man said when I confronted him after he nearly hit me and my dogs. We were walking on the left-hand side of the road, facing traffic, up against the curb on a blind corner. Small comfort. According to a literature review done by the US Department of Transportation, 25 per cent of pedestrians would die if struck by a vehicle going at 40 km/h (www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/ research/pub/hs809012.html). Aside from death, the chance of serious injury is very high. That is the third time within 12 months that someone going too fast has come very close to hitting me — in my own cul de sac. It’s not a highway. Children of all ages play there and adults of all ages walk there. In fact, on Little Mountain where I live and walk daily, I

often have to jump out of the way of drivers who seem to think the hills and curves are a wonderful challenge to their racing skills. We have no sidewalks. Many people walk, run and bike there, often coming from other parts of Chilliwack to do so. Perhaps the City of Chilliwack should post a warning sign at the entrance to the cul de sac, with a much lower speed limit. Perhaps it should post signs along every curved street in town, but laws can go only go so far in the absence of common sense and common courtesy. I know who the young man is who nearly hit me this morning. Maybe I should talk to the police about giving him a warning, as he didn’t seem to take mine seriously. Susan Milner, Eagle Crescent

My my, what a kerfuffle about Early French Immersion! One presumes that the parents who are demanding this service are anxious to ensure that their children will grow up to find employment in the ranks of federal government; thereby ensuring bloated pay packets, minimum work, and pensions of astronomical proportions — kind of brings a tear to your eye, such concern. I mean, what else on Earth would the ability to speak French be good for? As they presumably already speak English, the most powerful language in the world of business, and they are not learning Chinese, the second most powerful language for the foreseeable future. French is about as useful as Tibetan, unless of course you work for the Feds.

Dallas Niemi and her pug, Lilo at Ruth and Naomi’s Mission. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Ruth and Naomi’s program offers a safe space The local mission recently launched a Ladies Step Up program, which provides women at risk of homelessness, addiction or mental illness with shelter for up to 24 months Alina Konevski The Progress

When Dallas Niemi rescued her dog from an alleged methamphetamine user, it was the happiest day she’s had in a long time. The light-brown micro mini pug, named Lilo, lay happily at her side at Ruth and Naomi’s Mission last Tuesday, where Niemi has been living for half a year. “I feel like a weight’s off my shoulders. I had to get her back. Had to,” she said. Lilo was healthy when Niemi last saw her nine months ago, but is now paralyzed from the waist down. The SPCA told Niemi that the paralysis was likely due to meth exposure. This news is poignant for Niemi, who has struggled

with addiction since her teenaged daughter passed away in 1997 after falling from a fourth floor balcony in Chilliwack. Niemi has lived in about 15 places in the last two years, including spending a few nights outside. But since February, she has made the second floor of Ruth and Naomi’s her home. The non-profit recently launched the Ladies Step Up program, which provides women at risk of homelessness, addiction or mental illness with a home for up to 24 months. The elegant and simple rooms are a page out of an Ikea catalogue. Modern, light-coloured beds and chests of drawers, crisp new bedding, and a neat layout of toiletries on a towel invite a

guest to relax. “We’re trying to give them a place, first of all, that’s safe, and free from some of the painful experiences that they have. Safety is paramount,” said John Gray, supportive housing director. Residents receive homecooked meals twice a day. They have full use of the shared kitchen, as well as the television room and desk work area. The 24-hour staffed residential housing program has a treatment component. Residents complete their 12 steps to recovery, chat in support groups, and receive individual counseling. There is a crafts program, and outdoor activities, such as a recent camping trip to Sasquatch National Park. In her six months there,

Niemi has fully decorated her room, including placing framed art on the wall, and installing a tall circular aquarium with tropical fish. Spurred on by the craft sessions, she paints animal faces on rocks and assembles angel dolls out of yarn. She’d like to paint and play the guitar full-time. Women in the program can stay at Ruth and Naomi’s for up to two years, significantly longer than other treatment programs. Organizers believe that this time frame is necessary for a person to rebuild themselves. “People can break free from their addictions relatively easily. It doesn’t come without some pain, but most people can detox and get their lives back,” said Gray.

“But what we begin to help them look at is what are the underlying currents that are pulling you away from being healthy.” The program’s structures aren’t for everyone, and as many women have left as are currently enrolled. Niemi herself stopped regularly using crack cocaine during a four-year stay in Alberta when she was caring for her ex-husband’s father, but has had relapses since returning to Chilliwack, including one at Ruth and Naomi’s three months ago. “I messed up a little bit at first. Pushing boundaries,” she said. “Methamphetamine is running rampant in Chilliwack. It turns people mean. Just mean and nasty. Evil.”

The toughest part of cleaning up for her is relearning how to live without drugs. “Just relaxing and living in the moment. If people were more like dogs, they wouldn’t need psychiatrists, because they live in the moment. We go way in the past, and way in the future. That causes stress and anxiety.” Today she’s doing better, and is getting used to losing her daughter. Being part of Step Up has been a “night and day” change for her. Women’s program manager Sharon Holburn has watched Niemi start caring for herself. Niemi looks healthy, and is able to sleep through the night without Continued: STEP UP/ p20

Experience Downtown... Success is important at MTI MTI Community College has a simple focus, says campus director Cynthia Parasiliti: Provide the educational foundation that will help students find meaningful employment in their chosen field. MTI has been a part of the post secondary community in Chilliwack for the past five years. It’s part of a family of campuses that originally started in 1988. Since then, MTI has grown to six locations, with additional facilities in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey, and Abbotsford, That growth has also occurred in Chilliwack. MTI recently moved to a new location on Cheam Avenue in Downtown Chilliwack. “We simply outgrew our campus,” Parasiliti says. Their new home is bright and spacious, and Parasiliti says the college is looking forward to being part of the downtown community. MTI is a fully accredited private college, meaning its programming must meet strict standards that are independently reviewed regularly. It offers four faculties, which provide courses in business, child care and community studies, hospitality and tourism, and health care. Classes are kept small, providing the maximum in personalized attention. “We’re really grooming [our students] to be professionals in their chosen fields,” she says. Faculty staff, meanwhile, are experienced in their disciplines, many still working in the field. They are dedicated to not only helping students earn the education they need, but also the skills necessary to finding employment. Programs conclude with practicum work in the field, which not only provides experience that can help

fortify a resume, but also generates important contacts. Indeed, says Parasiliti, students have a 93 per cent success rate at finding employment after graduation. They’re even offered instruction on writing resumes, and using the latest social media tools to make contacts, gain exposure and find jobs. Success is important at MTI, Parasiliti says.

The atmosphere at the college is professional, but also encouraging, supportive and comfortable. “When you come into the campus, you can really feel the heart,” she says. To learn more about MTI Community College, can drop by the campus at 45860 Cheam Ave., or call 604.392.6020.

Zaika offers a ‘taste of India’ for Chilliwack diners Sushil Khera and Lalit Arora are bringing the “tastes of India” to downtown Chilliwack. The partners recently opened their new restaurant, Zaika, across from the Southgate Plaza on Yale Road. It is their second location. After the success of their first restaurant that opened in Abbotsford two years ago, the two decided to expand the family business into Chilliwack. Khera is no stranger to the Eastern Fraser Valley. Working as a sales representative for five years, he travelled the region regularly until finally deciding to live his dream and open a restaurant here. Khera has a simple formula that is already drawing customers back to the Chilliwack location: combine excellent food with stellar service, and keep the prices affordable. He says he enjoys sharing the magic of Indian food. It’s not just about the taste, he says, but also the experience. That mixture is working well, he adds. Customers who have come in for lunch,

are bringing friends back for dinner. Zaika offers an exciting tour of the exotic flavours of India. There are classics dishes from the tandoor oven, like chicken tikka and tandoori prawns. As well as popular dishes like butter chicken and lamb biryani. The selection of vegetarian dishes is also extensive, Khera says. There are appetizers and Indian breads, as well as all the condiments that give the cuisine such a depth of flavours. Guests can order off the menu, or enjoy the daily buffet, Khera says. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting space, with room for 30 in a private dining area. Zaika also offers take out, and hopes to soon add a delivery service like it has in Abbotsford, once the Chilliwack location is running smoothly. “We’re not a franchise,” he emphasizes. “We are a family business.” Khera says he is looking forward to welcoming new

Sushil Khera, along with Lalit Arora, have recently opened Zaika, Tastes of India on Yale Road. The partners, who have a similar restaurant in Abbotsford, offer an extensive menu of Indian favourites for either dining in or taking out.

Goal is to raise $1,200 for a dog wheelchair STEP UP from page 13 nightmares. She doesn’t push Holburn away like she used to. “You would not have known her as the same woman she is today,” said Holburn. Recovering Lilo is another positive development. While Lilo can’t stay at Ruth and Naomi’s, a staff member has agreed to adopt the pug, allow-

ing Niemi to have the dog a few nights a month. Niemi is fundraising for a wheelchair for Lilo that costs about $1,200. The men’s Step Up program, launched in September, is full with six participants, and another six people are on the waiting list. Since Februar y, the men have moved out of Ruth and

Naomi’s second floor and into a separate nearby house. Ruth and Naomi’s Mission hopes to open a third stage housing program in the future, through which people rent an apartment together while continuing to access the mission’s services. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

Stealers upend Abby for title The Chilliwack Stealers beat the Abbotsford Chargers twice to win the U-14 Fastpitch District Championship last weekend. The locals claimed the title in a tournament that was played last weekend at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford. The Stealers started in style, bombing North Langley 13-0 Friday night. Chilliwack faced the Chargers for the first time Saturday afternoon, and trailed 4-3 through two innings. But the offence kicked into high gear, and the Stealers cruised to a 9-4 win. With a bye to the final, Chilliwack waited for the winner of a semi-final between North Langley and Abbotsford. The Chargers made it through, setting up a winner-takes-all rematch. While pitchers Shelby Owen and Ashley Guthrie kept the Abby offence in check, Jessica Tejszerski, Nathania Braun and Ashlyn Einer got the Chilliwack bats rolling. The Stealer offence proved unstoppable, and the game was called after five innings with the score 13-5. Both teams advance to provincials, which will be held in Surrey July 5-7.

Storm top Slammers in fastpitch battle

The Chilliwack Storm beat the Chilliwack Slammers in a clash of U-16 fastpitch teams last Saturday, earning a trip to provincials. The teams squared off in a best-of-three series

at FG Leary. The Slammers were heavily favoured coming in, but the Storm blew their doors off in game one, taking a 9-2 decision. The Storm completed the upset in game two, taking a 5-4 decision in extra innings. Rookie Celeste Bousfield slid across home plate with the winning run. The Storm had everything working

to perfection. Defensive gems included a double-play catch by Autumn Chapman in right field, and a line drive snare by Kassidy Gleboff at first base. Catcher Stephanie Peeling kept herself busy gunning down base runners and catching pitches from flame-throwing Alaysia Adrian. O f f e n s i v e l y, Adrian and Shantel Andrews clubbed

home runs and Tricia Jensen laid down a perfect bunt. Karen Esau, Jordyn Pritchard, Alyssa Visser, Emily Murray and Tamika Stump also came up with key hits. Down but not out, the Slammers can still join the Storm at provincials if they can battle their way through district playdowns. Provincials will be held in Chilliwack July 5-7.

Sports Chiefs trade for Butcher brother The Chilliwack Chiefs have acquired Ben Butcher from the Langley Rivermen in exchange for future considerations. Ben is the brother of one of the best Chiefs ever, former captain Matt Butcher. Matt skated for the Chiefs for three seasons, from 2003 to 2006, before moving on to Northern Michigan University. In 165 regular season games in Chilliwack, Matt collected 72 goals and 183 points. He was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the fifth round of the 2005 National Hockey League entry draft. So... little brother has some big skates to fill as he comes to town. “I am very excited to have the

opportunity to play in Chilliwack,� he said. “My brother loved it there and I can’t wait to put on the Chiefs jersey.� The 18-year-old showed promise in his rookie season, popping 10 goals and 18 points in 54 games with the Rivermen. The native of Bellingham, WA, is big at six-foot-two and 190 pounds, and 41 penalty minutes is evidence of some grit. Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl is happy to have him. “Ben has very good skill, a strong work ethic and can be very difficult to play against,� the GM said. Ben and Matt are both the sons of former Vancouver Canucks defenceman Garth Butcher.

Changes made at BCHL AGM The British Columbia Hockey League held its 2013 annual general meeting last week

in Richmond, with the board of governors agreeing on several on and off-ice changes.

Some things are just better together. #itsbettertogether

facebook.com/flyerland.ca @flyerland

The league will move to a 58 game schedule in 2013-14, up two from last year. Each team will play 28 home and away games, plus two at the BCHL Showcase, being held in Chilliwack in September. A playoff structure hasn’t been agreed upon yet. Last season’t format didn’t sit will with a lot of clubs, particularly those in the Coastal conference. Those teams had to play three playoff series (two best-of-fives and a best-of-seven) to reach the BCHL championship series, while the Interior conference required two best-ofsevens. Teams are being asked to submit their ideas, and a new format will be announced before the BCHL Showcase. The league has made a change regarding its trade deadline media policy. Teams will be allowed to announce transactions as soon

as all players involved have been notified. Last year’s trades, including the one sending Phil Zielonka to Chilliwack, weren’t announced by teams until the following day. An equipment change will see all players using Bauer Supreme Team sticks. The league recently signed an equipment agreement with Bauer. Teams will face escalating fines if their players use anything else. For protective gear such as helmets and padding, teams will be allowed to use up the remaining new equipment from previous seasons, but future orders will be made through Bauer. And finally, National Hockey League linesman Brad Lazarowich has signed on as the BCHL’s associate director of officiating, joining head director Derek Adams. Lazarowich monitored and provided mentorship to young officials last season and will continue as a resource in developing the officiating program.

WECKERT Ursula

Wiebe & Jeske 604.824.1324

With hearts broken Patty & Ashley announce that evil cancer kicked Gary’s butt and took him too soon as they held him in their loving arms. Gary was raised to be an excellent son by his parents Bert and Verda Charles (nee Stark) in Chilliwack. He fulfilled his boyhood dream of joining the RCMP to chase bandits among the hills of Saskatchewan and track drug dealers through the rain forests of BC for over 33 years. He met his bride Patty Mackey in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and they joyously raised their daughter Ashley during four transfers throughout BC. Gary was a life-long fan of the Montreal Canadiens and BC Lions. He owned a collection of history books on Canada’s two world wars and eagerly awaited his car and watch magazine subscriptions. Gary will be remembered for perfecting his lawn-care abilities, studying Elder College courses at VIU, washing and waxing his various vehicles and enjoying a beverage while sharing his wicked sense of humour. He took early retirement to Nanaimo on his “Island in the Pacific” so he and Patty could travel to China, India and Thailand and be closer to their daughter Ashley. Gary was predeceased by his brother Rob and father Bert and his grandparents Bill and Edith Stark and Jerome and Victorine Charles. Patty & Ashley must learn to live without his tenderness, generosity, laughter and super hugs and he will be sadly missed by his mom Verda Friedel, sister Janice Braun, numerous nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts and inlaws. We wish to extend our gratitude to the NRGH Cancer clinic staff and Gary’s Palliative team who cared for him with gentleness and respect. Gary requested cremation and no funeral service. He wants us all to remember to hug your family members everyday and don’t dwell on the negative. ‘THIS BIRD IS NO MORE’ ‘SERENITY NOW’

(nee Matheson)

On the morning of June 07 2013, Joan died peacefully in her sleep at Cascade Lodge, Chilliwack, BC. after a battle with ALS (Lou Gerhigs disease). She is survived by her loving husband Jack Novak, Sons , Jeffery (Lore), Dan (Belinda), Robert (Janice), Andrew (Michelle) and her beloved sister Marion, Grand children; Jessica, Travis, Morgan, Darcy, Ella, Simon, Cameron, Tanner and Miss Victoria. Her first husband Stanley and Grandson Drayton pre-deceased her. Joan was born in Santa Marta, Colombia, South America on May 07 1934 to Douglas and Isobel (nee Campbell) Matheson. As a 12 year old, Joan contracted Polio and after a year of treatment went on to become a very competitive swimmer,often training in the cold Atlantic waters of her new home in Nova Scotia. This was to become a significant influence in Joan’s life, the willingness to overcome obstacles and adversity. Joan led a varied and interesting life ; as a wife and mother living in West Germany for three years during the cold war, giving birth to two children and supporting her Military Engineer husband while living in a rural German farm community and speaking no duetsch. Later , Joan returned to Chilliwack after a time spent in Ottawa where she studied and achieved her most prized accomplishment( out side being a mother to four boys) qualifying as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Joan practised Tai Chi, ran, jogged, bowled, skied, gardened, and became an accomplished hand gun shot. We who love her, will always remember her for her love of family, friends, colleagues and Life. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Wills can be confusing.

But they don’t have to be.

On June 2, 2013 at the young and glamorous age of 80, our darling Mother, Oma, and friend was finally at peace. She was a wonderful woman, the youngest of 5 sisters (all from Germany) and touched the hearts of many. She was always cheerful and friendly to everyone she met. There was a lot of joy with Ursula when she was around the people and things she loved. She loved cooking / baking and always made sure there was plenty to go around. She loved all the time she spent with her family and especially her granddaughters Michaela and Tamara. They were her life and she let everyone around her know it. Ursula was predeceased in January 2000 by her husband George. She leaves behind her son Markus (Debbie) and granddaughters, Michaela and Tamara of Chilliwack; her son Gerhard and son Ulli of Germany, and her daughter Ilona and sons Fadi and Reslan of Germany. We will be having a celebration of life for Ursula at the First Mennonite Church (River of Life) at 42369 South Sumas Road, Greendale on Sunday, June 22 at 2 pm. Please bring many happy memories with you. Online condolences to the family may be made to: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com

He was pre-deceased by his granddaughter Kim Lewis, and is survived by ten grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, whom he adored, as well as sisters Hazel Stewart and Rosemary Shaw.
