The Kure reopens with licence Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
The Kure Cannabis Society co-owner called it a “proud day” Friday as the store opened its doors as a licensed private cannabis retail operation on Skwah First Nation in Chilliwack. It’s the only legal pot shop between Vancouver and Kamloops. “It feels great. It’s a very proud day today for
us,” said Kure co-owner Adam Mussell. The Kure Cannabis Society also became the first Indigenous-owned store to be licensed to operate on Indigenous land in B.C. The Mussells decided to shut down the dispensary well ahead of legalization last year, with intent of re-opening as soon as they obtained the licence to sell non-medical cannabis. Preparations have been months in the making. They’ve been racing to file security clearance
application forms and criminal record checks for staff, but they were able to handle the soft opening on June 21. So what will be different now? “The product will be much safer and consistent,” Mussell replied. “It means people who might be scared to try it can do so safely, with the reassurance it meets all standards.” The Kure’s re-opening happened to be on Continued on Page A7

A two-week closure of the maternity ward is two weeks too long, says Chilliwack’s mayor. The community responded swiftly upon learning that the Chilliwack General Hospital’s maternity ward could be closed for up to 13 weeks beginning June 24, with politicians, midwives, and expectant mothers all weighing in on the matter. On June 20, Fraser Health Authority announced via a press release that the closure has been slimmed down to just two weeks. But the release left out what has changed, and that’s not sitting well with Mayor Ken Popove. “Their press release does not say how they will accomplish this shorter timeline and does not mention the addition of an obstetrician in Chilliwack,” he says. “This is just a Band-Aid fix and while we’re glad they were able to reduce the diversion to two weeks, it is two weeks too many for families in Chilliwack and the Eastern Fraser Valley that will need to make that long drive during a stressful time.” The closure is due to an unexpected shortage of on-call obstetricians. Chilliwack currently only has three such doctors, and they are a requirement for a maternity ward to function, in case of emergencies. They have recently posted an advertisement for a fourth doctor, but that wouldn’t explain what’s changed to reduce CGH’s closure time. During the two-week closure, pregnant women will be Continued on Page A11

Heroism medal for woman who tried to save wheelchair-bound man stuck on rail tracks But Julie Callaghan left with trauma and soon will need finger amputations Paul Henderson The Progress
A Chilliwack woman who tried to save a man in a wheelchair stuck on rail tracks has been granted an award for extraordinary heroism by a U.S.based foundation. Julie Callaghan is one of 18 civilians recognized with a medal by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, a Pittsburgh-based fund that recognizes heroic actions in the U.S. and Canada. Callaghan is one of just two Canadians on the 2019 list announced on June 24. It was May 26, 2018 when the Chilliwack woman was driving to an event when she approached the rail crossing at Broadway Avenue. There, stuck on the tracks in a motorized wheelchair was 40-year-old Matthew Jarvis. “As soon as the arms started to
come down, he started rocking in his chair,” Callaghan told The Progress two days after the incident. “And that triggered me to recognize he was stuck. “He was really trying to force the chair out and he couldn’t do it.” As a train travelling at about 80 kilometres per hour approached, Callaghan and another woman tried to lift the wheelchair out from the path of the train. With her back to the train, the 44-year-old moved away just in time. Jarvis died and the train struck Callaghan’s hand. She sustained broken bones, which required surgery. Callaghan’s actions were quickly called heroic by those who saw what happened, including Mary-Jane Warkentin who was driving up to the tracks at the time. “This woman was a true hero,” Warkentin said in a Facebook post.
Julie Callaghan “She ran from her car to try to save the man and ended up injured due to her heroic action.” Callaghan’s husband is a firefighter with the Chilliwack Fire Department who was emotional on Facebook about his wife’s attempt to help. “Yesterday showed me that it didn’t
matter what the circumstance was, she was willing to help someone out, even though it could have ended bad for her,” Darren Callaghan posted. “When I met my wife she became my best friend. When we got married she became my wife. Yesterday, she became my HERO!!” Julie, however, didn’t see it that way at the time. “I just did what I had to do,” she said. “I saw someone stuck on the train tracks for gosh sakes. You have to try…. I don’t see it as heroic.” The incident has also, however, been life-changing and traumatizing for Callaghan who now has to have three fingers on her dominant hand amputated. Her pinky, ring and middle fingers will have to be surgically removed and she is looking into what type of prosthetics will work. “The last three fingers have not moved since the night of the accident,” she told The Progress Monday. “It’s almost as if they are fused…. My hand is dying.” Not even taking into account the mental trauma of the event, Cal-
laghan said her life has become consumed by medical appointments, surgeries, hospital visits and hand therapy. “This is what my life is like. It’s been absolutely all consuming.” With her hand essentially destroyed by the train, she now spends all her time trying to see some light on the horizon, which includes hopefully one day a return to work. “I just need to get back to some normal,” she said. “I wouldn’t change a thing about that day, but it definitely hasn’t come without its challenges.” With this second announcement of 2019 recipients, a total of 10,099 Carnegie Medals have been awarded since the Pittsburgh-based Fund’s inception in 1904. Commission Chair Mark Laskow said each of the awardees or their survivors will also receive a financial grant. Throughout the more than 115 years since the Fund was established by industrialist-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, $40.9 million has been given in onetime grants, scholarship aid, death benefits, and continuing assistance.
Judge bumps up sex assault sentence suggested by Crown, defence Paul Henderson The Progress
In a rare decision by a provincial court judge, a man convicted of sexually and emotionally abusing a teenaged girl for years was handed a sentence 50 per cent longer than requested in a joint submission by Crown and defence. Andrew Mullaly elicited no emotion in courtroom 203 on June 21 as Judge Andrea Ormiston sentenced him to 18 months jail followed by three years probation, the maximum allowed under the charge conviction. Crown counsel Grant Lindsey and Mullaly’s lawyer Darrel Schultz had put forth a joint submission in April for one year in jail followed by 18 months probation. Ormiston said the one-year sentence for Mullaly who committed as many as two dozen acts of “sexual humiliation” on the girl between the ages of 11 and 16 was “not only unfit but one that is contrary to the public interest.” In rejecting the joint submission, Ormis-
‘I find the joint submission is contrary to the public interest and I’m rejecting it’ ton pointed to a Supreme Court of Canada decision that said joint submissions should not be rejected unless that sentence would be contrary to the public interest. In R v Anthony Cook, a decision delivered by Justice Michael Moldaver, it was made clear that a joint submission should not be rejected lightly. “Joint submissions promote the smooth operation of the criminal justice system,” Moldaver wrote. “The appellant gave up his right to a trial and any self-defence argument he may have had. In the end, the trial judge’s deviation from the recommended custodial sentence — by only six months — amounts to little more than tinkering.” In Canadian law, judges are not bound by joint submissions, however, the courts are

generally reluctant to divert from what is proposed by both Crown or defence assuming there is case law showing similar sentences for similar crimes. Ormiston decided, however, that in this case the submission was indeed not in the public interest. “I find that under the specific circumstances of this plea agreement, one year cannot be reconciled with the principles and ranges established in the authorities,” she said. “I find the joint submission is contrary to the public interest and I’m rejecting it.” Mullaly was charged with sexual assault, extortion and possession of child pornography for ongoing abuse of the girl from the time she was 11 until 16. The multi-year abuse and humiliation began with emotional “punish-
ment” that expanded to repeated instances of sexual touching and sexual assault. During the brief hearing on April 12, Lindsey read parts of a victim impact statement from the girl, in which she said she felt “used, manipulated, hopeless, ashamed.” It was then in court that Judge Ormiston first raised the spectre of rejecting the joint submission, based on her concerns about the serious nature of the facts, the brevity with which case law was presented, and the rushed nature of the hearing late on a Friday afternoon. As part of the plea agreement, the Crown proceeded by summary rather than indictment, which means the conviction is less serious. It also means the maximum allowable sentence for what Mullaly pleaded guilty to was 18 months jail and three years probation. That’s what the judge handed down on June 20 in rejecting the joint submission. As the sentence was read out and he was taken away by a sheriff to jail, Mullaly expressed no emotion.

Question period at the Chilliwack School Board no longer allows “rants” from the public, and it seems that won’t be changing anytime soon. A change was made earlier this year to the public participation portion of the board’s publicly held regular meetings. Where the public used to be able to step to the mic to make a statement or ask questions of the board on topics on or off the agenda, it’s been pared down considerably. The public may now only address issues pertaining to agenda items, and that must be in question form. Those asking questions must state their name and their relationship to the school district. The change was made following several meetings that were overtaken by people against the use of SOGI 123 materials, with some speakers coming from other cities to make statements to the board. Chilliwack’s school board meetings are recorded
Public participation will continue to be limited to items on the night’s agenda with a live YouTube feed. However, at the final board meeting of this school year, Trustee Darrell Furgason made a motion to restore the ability for the public to speak about any issue they feel the board should be aware of. He said the current rules “discourage community involvement.” But several of the trustees said that the new public participation rules have calmed down the atmosphere in the room, which had become “toxic.” Trustee Jared Mumford stated that the actions of the public at some of those meetings also resulted in some trustees not feeling safe. Board chair Dan Coulter said it was “beyond-the-pale craziness” and doesn’t want to see a return to that, but Trustee Barry Neufeld noted that the
participation was also up in the voting booth. “We had some rowdy meetings,” he said. “But we were rewarded with a healthy turnout.” In the end, only Furgason, Neufeld and Trustee Heather Maahs voted in favour of the amendment, and it failed. There are a few ways to get in touch with trustees, and their emails and phone numbers are on the district’s website. However, Furgason noted that letters and phone calls don’t get made public. “We don’t have to broadcast other people,” Coulter countered. “It’s not the school board’s job.” The district’s YouTube channel has 128 subscribers and the majority of past meetings have well over 500 views, one with more than 1,200.

“I didn’t feel any pressure.” NexGen Hearing client Lorraine Smith
I would like to thank and express my appreciation to Andy and Jacqueline of NexGen Hearing in Chilliwack. Both are very knowledgeable about hearing aids. After testing and consultation on my hearing loss, Andy was able to recommend the best hearing aids for my particular hearing loss. I didn’t feel any pressure that they were just trying to sell me hearing aids, they were truly interested and concerned in recommending the most effective hearing aid to maximize my ability to hear clearly.

Already his phone is blowing up from people trying to contact him to discuss the possibility of franchising. “This example just shows that between government and Indigenous, we can work together,” Mussell said. “I think I’ve proven it can work.” The Kure first opened up in May 2018 as the first pot shop on First Nations land in Chilliwack, followed soon after by Indigenous Bloom.

Ready to roll, Justin
It’s been nearly six years since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would rather see cannabis legalized instead of just decriminalized. Back then he was just plain old Justin, on the campaign trail trying to garner votes and reinvigorate the federal Liberal party. Two years later, the Liberals cruised back to power on that promise and others. The Liberals defaulted on their promise to reform the electoral system, and you have to wonder if the promise of legal recreational cannabis is going to be substantially complete before the next federal election, this fall. It’s not entirely the Liberals’ fault that we’ve yet to see a thriving cannabis industry. But even though they had three years, provincial and local governments didn’t really get started on their own legislation until the last minute. Few cannabis retailers have been able to open across Canada as most of the applications from hopeful private retailers are still waiting for the dual approval they need from

the province and their municipal government. It’s not that getting a licence to sell cannabis should be easy. It shouldn’t, and there are countless obstacles and social issues that need to be dealt with. But with three years warning, there is little excuse for provincial and local governments not to have been better prepared to be ready for legalization. After all, cannabis has been effectively legal for a long time. It’s just that all the money generated by the industry was going into the pockets of criminals instead of generating taxes. Governments should have had frameworks, laws and bylaws ready to go by the time legalization legislation dropped. By now private operators should be adding to local and provincial economies, and driving the black market farther underground. It’s almost as if governments don’t want the cannabis tax revenue after all. – Black Press Media

Awareness assemblies not enough, says student As a high school student, I’m faced with a lot of day-to-day struggles. Feeling pressured to dress a certain way, act a certain way, carry myself in a way to please society; it’s genuinely exhausting. Fitting social expectations comes in the job description of ‘teenager’ and after almost 10 years of being a teen, I’ve learned to try my best to exist in a way that isn’t controversial. However, there’s still one thing that no one can seem to get right: Mental health. Teenagers are preprogrammed to be arrogant and often make snap judgments about others. Depression and anxiety have turned into adjectives to describe personality, and asking a peer for a shoulder to lean on has become attention-seeking or ‘being dramatic.’ There’s a rapidly growing stigma around mental health and it isn’t just
limited to my high school, but seeing as I spend over 30 hours a week inside the walls of Sardis secondary, noticing the problems surrounding mental health isn’t a difficult task. My high school prides itself in athletics, and the high academic achievements of the students. Having a good reputation among other schools LAUREN for being unbeatable STEWART in sports and math competitions is fantastic, however none of that matters if the students are unhappy. I did a poll, and out of 47 students, 46 per cent felt that staff doesn’t provide necessary support when it comes to resources for mental health. While 46 per cent might seem
slightly surprising, what struck me as even more shocking was that out of those same 47 students, 87 per cent of them said they thought there was a lot of talking about making changes to remove stigma, but nothing actually changing. Having such high percentages, especially from students aged 14 to 17 was a big wake-up call for me. I’ve always known mental health is a touchy subject, but never did it occur to me just how many people think it’s a problem without an active solution. The solution may seem simple — tell kids to be accepting, and offer their friends help. The problem is, their friend likely has just about as many resources as the person asking for help — which isn’t many. So what does that leave? There are school counsellors, but at the beginning of the year during the wel-
coming assembly it’s made very clear that they aren’t there for personal counselling. The option is there, but they stress that the amount of personal help they can offer is extremely limited. Now sitting back and looking at those two options, ask a friend, or tread lightly on what you tell the counsellors, neither one is a great solution. It feels like our school is understaffed in terms of counsellors and administrative staff, but that shouldn’t be the reason so many students are left without help. If a teenager who’s struggling has no support at home, and no support at school, there’s no one else to ask. I can’t solve all the problems that I have ambition to solve, but bringing the real, no-sugar-coating issues forth is better than watching the infrastructure of my high school’s
student culture collapse. There needs to be more ways to offer kids help, more than just awareness assemblies and rallies. I can say with certainty that everyone inside that building is aware of the issues that go on, but there is not enough action being taken. The people in power might think we can work out all our problems on our own; they’re under the impression that ignorance is bliss when it comes to teens. However, in this case ignorance is ending up with lower test scores and more students struggling with mental health. I may not have a huge plan of action to change the entire game, but in the playbook of high school, every person counts. • Lauren Stewart just completed Grade 11 and starts Grade 12 at Sardis Secondary school in September.

Facilities lacking along bus routes
n Cultus lake Day
I take the Fraser Valley Express (FVX) from Chilliwack to Corvalth Exchange in Langley on my way to Vancouver every month or so. It is a long day for a senior like me — usually 12 hours. Half of the time is spent on public transport, including the SkyTrain. The cost for travelling this distance (over 200 kilometres return) is a bargain and I see the FVX is getting more popular. But Corvalth Exchange is a real time waster and lacks basic facilities. No toilets, no water, no attendants, no shade in summer and freezing in winter. And sadly too often, the FVX bus arrives late in Chilliwack or at Corvalth, through no fault of our amazing
FVX bus drivers. Highway 1 is either congested due to heavy volume or an accident. Last week the FVX at Corvalth was 45 minutes late arriving, and then we lost another 15 minutes due to heavy traffic en route back to Chilliwack. This is on top of my waiting 55 minutes at Corvalth because I missed the bus to Chilliwack by only five minutes. What impresses me is how calm and courteous our FVX bus drivers always are to us passengers. Bypassing Corvalth in 2021 will help, but it still won’t solve the problem of heavy traffic and accidents en route to /from Lougheed Station. I am relatively new to Chilliwack and am not
yet fully informed re viable alternatives being proposed, e.g. train service or additional lanes. Re: the serious lack of public toilet facilities at Metro Vancouver transit locations, like others I am forced to make a mid-journey pit stop at a Sky Train location, e.g. New Westminster or Metrotown. I use a washroom at a fast food restaurant, but to do this I have to buy something. It’s really shameful that BC Transit management only talk about providing public toilet and other facilities at more transit points. Cities in Europe, and Toronto, Sydney, Edmonton, Seattle provide it. Sandra Baumgartner

Re: “Plastic ban a first step,” Editorial, June 21, 2019 Before any government-mandated constraints to gratuitous plastic use and waste can notably succeed, we’ll likely need a large-scale shift away from the prevailing human convenient-disposal general mindset. More so, how do we collectively manage such a major shift when — regardless of ocean divers’ witness reports of the immense tangled messes — so much of it is not immediately observable (i.e. out of sight, out of mind)? It doesn’t surprise me, as general human mentality collectively allows us to, amongst other forms of blatant pollution, throw non-biodegradable garbage down a dark chute like we’re safely dispensing it into a black-
hole singularity. And then there’s the astonishing short-sighted selfishness. I observed this last year when a Global TV news reporter randomly asked a young Vancouver man wearing sunglasses what he thought of government restrictions on disposable plastic straws. “It’s like we’re living in a nanny state, always telling me what I can’t do,” he recklessly retorted. No wonder so much gratuitous plastic waste eventually finds its way into our life-filled oceans, where there are few, if any, caring souls to see it. Frank Sterle Jr. White Rock

‘Ultimately, Fraser Health needs to attract more doctors’ diverted to Abbotsford Regional Hospital as is procedure. The maternity ward is expected to be fully functioning again by July 9. The whole issue of closure and diversion has highlighted the dire need for better health care coverage in Chilliwack and the surrounding area, says Popove. “Ultimately, Fraser Health needs to attract more doctors, including obstetricians, so that a doctor shortage doesn’t threaten to close an entire unit in our hospital again,” he adds. Doctors acknowledge the stress Dr. Jennifer Wilson, CGH’s medical director, says that the decision for the diversion was “not taken lightly.” “We really appreciate how stressful this is for women,” she told The Progress last Friday, especially those without reliable transportation or who live even further than Chilliwack. “The diversion was triggered by an unexpected health issue one of our obstetricians, and it was unclear how soon or when he would be back. We needed to potentially have a contingent plan,” she says. Wilson said they planned for three months for a worst-case scenario, but that the doctor has recovered very well and expects to be back by early July. She said there have been talks about a fourth doctor coming into the fold for a while now. “It’s been three (doctors) for a long time, and they do fantastic work, they go above and beyond,” she says. But there has been a contingency plan in place for situations like these, just as there are for other units and departments in Chilliwack’s health system, she explains. “It happens with intensive care units,” she says. “Most of the time it’s a capacity issue rather than a manpow-
er issue, but when there is a shortage of specialized staff there is a contigency plan in place.” Wilson said they deliver up to 800 babies a year at CGH, and growing, with an average of one to two deliveries a day. But other maternity patients may require observation or non-stress tests that are unique to the maternity nurses’ skills and training. So, for the two weeks, the diversion will remain in place. “I totally appreciate the mayors in the community saying ‘wait a minute, this isn’t right,’” she says. “But really it is a decision coming from safety, and we are doing our best to anticipate the needs for the women in the community.”

Tune in to Pirate Radio with the Players Guild Theatre company presents its 28th British Pub Nights production July 4 to 12
Jenna Hauck The Progress
British Pub Nights is back at the Cultural Centre. The Chilliwack Players Guild (CPG) has been offering its British humour theatre production since 1976, and this year’s show — their 28th production — is called Pirate Radio. Moving away from the classic Monty Python-esque skits and more into modern comedy, director Graham Archer is offering pieces from new-age shows like British TV program The Sketch Show and comedy duo Mitchell and Webb. This is Archer’s seventh time directing the “immensely popular” British Pub Nights, plus he’s acted in about 10 as well. The show features 15 skits balanced with 18 musical numbers. Each skit runs anywhere from about 30 seconds to about five minutes long. All of the music will be performed live by members of the band Judy Tuesday. They, along with the 20-person cast, will be rocking out to some of the most popular tunes from the 1960s, just like folks did while listening to pirate radio more than 50 years ago. What is pirate radio? In the ’60s and ’70s, BBC radio was playing the new pop music less than one hour a day, so some free-thinking entrepreneurs formed “pirate” radio stations located on boats anchored outside British waters. They only lasted a few years before the authorities closed them down, but they gained millions of listeners. The phenomenon even made it to the big screen 10 years ago. The movie Pirate Radio starring Philip Seymour
Larry Hamm and Denise Munro rehearse a skit during the Chilliwack Players Guild’s 28th British Pub Nights production called Pirate Radio. Go online to theprogress.com/entertainment to see a video of one of the skits. (Jenna Hauck/ The Progress) Hoffman came out in 2009. Joan Hogan is a veteran of the CPG’s British Pub Nights productions. Pirate Radio marks her 20th British Pub Nights show with the local theatre company.
She began in 1982 with their Merry Old England production and says the years have flown by. “I was a brunette, and now I’m a white-head,” she says in a Yorkshire accent.
Over those 37 years she’s only missed one production. She wanted to experience the show from the audience, but it didn’t feel right for her to just sit back and watch. So, the next British Pub Nights production
she was right back onstage. “I love making people laugh. That’s my forte,” she says. In Pirate Radio, Hogan will be speaking her original Yorkshire accent, as well as an Irish accent and “upper-crust” English accent (the posh accent the Queen uses). Fellow cast member Darby Howard will be acting and singing alongside Hogan, but this will be the first British Pub Nights for the 19-year-old. “I am loving the experience so far, it’s so much fun,” she says. All the joking around and hilarious moments make rehearsals a blast, she adds. Howard doesn’t have an English accent, but she’s been practising by watching a lot of British TV. It seems to be working because she has Hogan’s nod of approval. The show is produced by Laura Hames and Debra Archer. Musical director is Judy Hill. Pirate Radio will be performed in the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre in a cabaret setting. Seating will be for tables of four, and beer will be available. The show includes a pub-style lunch at intermission. Opening night for the Chilliwack Players Guild’s British Pub Nights “Pirate Radio” is Thursday, July 4 and it runs until July 12 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Show times are: July 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. Matinee is Sunday, July 7 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 and available at the centre’s box office, online at chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or by phone at 604-391-7469.

TV, film a new reality for actress Jenna Hauck The Progress
A young Chilliwack actress has been hopping from movie set to TV set and back again a lot lately. Mellany Barros, 19, has been a professional actress for only about a year, but she already has several productions under her belt. “It’s something I’m getting used to,” she says. “It’s very exciting that I get to play different characters.” In the past year, Barros has played Katelyn Ogden in TV movie Spontaneous, plays recurring character Alice in TV comedy series Chad, guest starred in TV series iZombie where she played Laurie Beth in episode ‘The Fresh Princess’ (airs June 27 on CW), and plays supporting character Ann in TV movie Death of A Cheerleader. Barros is also currently in the mix for a lead role on a Netflix series that will shoot in L.A. “I’m putting on different hats all the time,” she says. The start of her performance career was at the age of three when she started taking singing lessons. From there, theatre and drama became part of her elementary and high school life until she graduated from Chilli-
Chilliwack actress Mellany Barros wack secondary in 2017. It was then that Barros left theatre to study kinesiology at UFV. But it didn’t take long for her to get back into acting. During her first year of university, she took a drama class as an elective and ended up being part of a student film. That’s when she realized being a professional actor was an attainable feat. She took a private acting class in Vancouver, found an agent and started auditioning for various roles. “I started booking things really quickly… within a few months,” says Barros. Over the past year, she’s been
filming on location in Vancouver and Coquitlam. The highlights of her career so far have been meeting new people and working with different directors. Some of the bigger names she’s worked with include Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer (in Spontaneous), and Saturday Night Live’s Nasim Pedrad. “Katherine Langford was someone I watched on 13 Reasons [Why], and that was one of my favourite shows, so to be able to work with her was so crazy,” she says. Everyone in her family is very supportive of Barros, including her dad Marco and younger sister Stephanie who helps her practice by reading scripts with her. But her biggest inspiration is her mom. “The person who inspired me the most would be my mom because she helped with my singing when I was younger — she’s the artistic one in the family.” Though Barros says knowing where she’ll be filming a few weeks down the road often happens at the last minute, she doesn’t mind it. “My goal is to continue doing this and be happy. I’m excited to see where the future will take me.”

She got a surprise start in Canada’s third game, going all 90 minutes at forward in a 1-0 loss to the Netherlands, but otherwise didn’t see the field in the loss to Sweden and wins over Cameroon (1-0) and New Zealand (2-0). “I think this is an exciting group and we have a lot of young players that have a bright future that have many more matches in front of them,” said Canadian coach Kenneth Heiner-Møller. “Just being at an event like this will make them ready for the next time.
Irons scores first CFL touchdown In just his second game with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Chilliwack native and W.J. Mouat grad Maleek Irons got on the scoreboard. Irons, a rookie running back with the CFL team, busted through the Toronto Argonauts line on a first and goal situation in the second quarter of Saturday’s game to score his first professional touchdown. He collected 32 yards rushing in Hamilton’s big 64-14 win over Toronto. Irons was selected 22nd overall in the CFL draft back in May, and earned a spot on the team’s main roster. He starred for years with the NCAA’s Ohio University Bobcats, collecting 831 yards rushing and eight touchdowns in 2018. He was also dominant during his time with the Hawks, earning provincial most valuable player honours in 2012 and 2013. Irons and the Ti-Cats are next in action on Friday, when they host the Montreal Chilliwack native Maleek Irons helped lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to victory Alouettes. over Toronto on Saturday.

The teenager is trying to follow in the footsteps of his father, Mike Blaisdell, who was a first round pick of Detroit in 1980 and went on to play 349 games in the NHL. Forward Nikita Nesterenko, who will join Chilliwack this fall, was selected in the sixth round, 172nd overall by the Minnesota Wild. Another member of last year’s Chiefs squad, forward Kevin Wall, heard his name called in the sixth round. The Connecticut kid was picked 181st overall by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Playoffs took place over the last three weekends. Joanna Gemmell, Melissa Palmer and Breanne Weflen helped their U-17 team secure a bye through the first round by virtue of finishing first in regular season play (10-1-1 in 12 games).

“Allie is one of the best fundamental outfielders that I have recruited,” he said. “She has a very powerful arm (mid 60’s with an overhand throw) and she’s very accurate. “Allie is a true triple threat at the plate. She can lay a bunt down, slap, and she has good gap power.” Off the field, Thiessen is an honour roll student with a 4.0 GPA who is excited to get settled in at CWU. “I attended my first CWU softball camp and campus tour in Grade 9,” she said. “I was immediately drawn to the beautiful campus, friendly people and high academics, and it was an added bonus that the campus is only four hours from my hometown. “Over the years I have developed a relationship with Coach Larabee and Coach (Mike) Meyers. I’ve watched the softball team be successful both on and off the field in academics and winning conference championships and knew that was a team I wanted to be a part of.”

Eric passed away peacefully at home at the age of 96. He was born and raised in the Camp River area of Chilliwack and was the youngest of three sons born to Henry John and E. Theresa Creber. He was predeceased by his brothers Roy, Harold, son-in-law Lloyd and Audrey, his wife of 62 years. Survived by three sons, Ron (Barb) Neil (Linda) Alan and daughter Anne. Grandsons, Eric, David and Jeff Creber; Scott, Stephen and Sheldon Girbav; Grandaughters’ Chelsea, Chantel, Carey and Melissa Creber and six great grandchildren. Eric was a proud WWII Veteran joining the RCAF in 1942. While on a short combat leave in 1943 he met his beloved Audrey in Brandon, Manitoba and were married in June 1946 settling in the post war VLA subdivision on Bernard Ave. He was employed for many years as a Machinist at C.R. Fortin and Sons. Later opening up his own machine shop on the Camp River family farm. Farming had always been in his blood and while he was working as a machinist, his wife and children were busy manning the farm crops, haying, corn, cucumbers and the beef cattle. He and Audrey did some travelling in their later years and one of those trips took them across Canada in 1995 to attend his 50th RCAF Squadron reunion. At Dad’s request, there will be no service. A gathering of family and close friends will take place at a later date. Online condolences can be made at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca
