Strahl surprised by summer shuffle

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

F

rom agriculture to Indian affairs to transportation, Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl’s role in the Conservative government cabinet has shifted yet again.

Strahl said he wasn’t looking for a job change this summer, but he was hit with a big one as Prime Minister Stephen Harper had to fill the vacancy left by retiring government House leader Jay Hill.

“I wasn’t looking for a change;

Local MP thought his past experience might have gained him House leader’s role again

things were fine in my department and the same goes for John Baird,” Strahl told the Times over the phone from Ottawa Friday. “But clearly there was a vacancy that needed to be filled.”

Strahl was predicted by some pundits to be Hill’s replacement as House leader since he has held the job before, but Harper picked Baird and selected the local MP for

transportation, infrastructure and communities.

“From my perspective these things are always a surprise,” Strahl said of the cabinet shuffle. “I thought maybe I’d get to be House leader. I have been House leader before but also knew John Baird has done that at Queen’s Park so he has experience.”

As for whether the move was a

demotion, a promotion or a lateral move, Strahl wouldn’t say.

“I don’t know if it’s up or down or sideways but obviously I’m pleased to serve in any capacity,” he said.

“I wasn’t looking for the move, but this will be a very challenging one.

There is lots of action in everything from national transportation and long-term vision to infrastructure and what gets approved where.”

As for his replacement in the INAC portfolio he has held since 2007, the choice of Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan makes things as seamless as possible.

Duncan was Strahl’s parliamentary secretary and so has experience on the file.

When asked if the choice of Baird—known to be aggressive in the House—was Harper’s way of picking a fight, Strahl said as a minority government there would be no point in doing so.

Briefly Air quality gets better with rain Chilliwack residents can breathe easy knowing that an air quality advisory for the Lower Mainland has been lifted.

Increased atmospheric mixing coupled with rain showers on Saturday allowed local government and health officials to lift the warning, which had been in place since last Wednesday.

Still, Chilliwack may not be out of the smoke yet.

A Metro Vancouver press release noted that “forest fire activity in other areas of the province remains a concern. If the weather changes and smoke causes the air quality to deteriorate again, another air quality advisory may be initiated.”

City sues Sto:lo Nation

The City of Chilliwack is suing the Sto:lo Nation for $360,000 in back taxes. “It’s the only option we have to recover property taxes,” Mayor Clint Hames said. The property in question—Coqualeetza—was transferred from the federal government to the department of Indian Affairs three years ago after which the feds stopped paying the taxes. Three years ago the taxes were paid under protest, but for two years they have gone unpaid.

Despite the rain Madison Kingdon enjoys a ride at the midway Saturday at the Chilliwack Exhibition.

little rain didn’t seem to hurt the Chilliwack Exhibition, as thousands packed into Chilliwack Heritage Park over the weekend.

While exact numbers were not yet known on Monday, event co-ordinator Wendi Prinse said early indications were that while attendance was down a little on Saturday, higher than expected numbers on Friday helped the fair.

“We’re really pleased. In spite of the rain on Saturday, it looks like our attendance numbers are up,” said Prinse.

She estimates that around 25,000 people took in the fair, which included a BCRA Rodeo, agricultural exhibitions, music, a midway and dozens of other attractions.

Chilliwack residents who had been labouring during days of hot, muggy weather, the rain was actually a relief.

“It had been so hot and so muggy, we saw people and they were outside with umbrellas in the rain,” said Prinse.

The fair officially kicked off with a celebrity goat-milking competition—won with ease

by Chilliwack MLA John Les, who filled his bucket and then some.

But for the real star power, you had to take in the Team Roping competition in the Rodeo, during which Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, who hails from Anahim Lake in the Cariboo, traded his skates in for cowboy boots and his stick for a lasso to compete.

“I know we had some enthusiastic fans who were coming just to see him in the roping competition,” said Prinse.

A loving KISS for Joshua

W

o r k e r s f r o m Fo r d Mountain Correctional Centre raised more than $5,000 Saturday to help an 11-year-old boy fight cancer.

The benefit, in the Save-On Food parking lot, surpassed organizers’ goals, despite a steady drizzle. That rain may have caused the KISS-style makeup of five head shave recipients to run, but it was the appearance of Joshua Ismirnioglou that caused tears to flow.

Rain didn’t put a damper on donations for cancer victim

Organizer Jan Blackmore, who had her long purple locks shaved to raise money, was pleased with the turnout and the donations from the public.

“O u r g o a l w a s t o r a i s e $5,000,” said Blackmore. “We are currently at $5,002.62 with more money to come. Consid-

ering the weather, I am thrilled with this result.”

Ismirnioglou was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas last year.

Donations can be made at Envision Financial Credit Union to Account No. 12807, for Joshua Ismirnioglou.

Fishermen line the shores of the Vedder River. An Englishman on a dream fishing holiday lost his life last week after falling into the river and having his hip waders fill with water.

Drowning puts tragic end to dream holiday Victim Services played vital role in assisting widow

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he man who died fishing in the Chilliwack River last week had come to the Fraser Valley for a “dream holiday,” according to Chilliwack RCMP, which released the fisherman’s name Monday.

David Bennetts, 63, perished when his hip waders filled with water and he was dragged into the river current last Wednesday.

Bennetts was an avid fisherman, and he and his wife were visiting Canada from England, according to RCMP spokesperson

Tracy Wolbeck. The Bennetts had rented a motorhome in Langley and had planned on vacationing in the Upper Fraser Valley until the end of August.

Police praised the volunteers with Victim Services for springing into action once Bennetts’s wife was informed of her husband’s death.

“Abandoning personal commitments, the Victim Services volunteers were with Mrs. Bennetts for five days assisting her in making arrangements, contacting her family and making sure she was occupied until she could get a flight home to England,” Wolbeck said. “Victim Services plays an invaluable role in our community and this is a perfect example of that.

“This was such a tragic event to this woman, but our volunteers opened up their homes to her and made her feel part of their family.”

Angels in blue berets

RCMP still can’t find missing sex offender

A

Mental wounds continue to plague our country’s peacekeepers

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

O

n Tuesday morning, the flag of the United Nations was raised above city hall to mark National Peacekeepers’ Day, but former blue beret Joe Smith didn’t join his comrades at the ceremony.

For Smith, who served as a cook with the Canadian Military Engineers, Aug. 9 is a tough day.

The reason it was picked as the day for Canadians to remember their peacekeepers is because it was on Aug. 9, 1974 that Canadian Forces experienced their greatest single loss of lives on a peacekeeping mission.

Nine Canadians died when their plane was shot down over Syria during their tour with the United Nations Emergency Force in Egypt and Israel.

Smith was supposed to have been on that plane.

“He got bumped at the last minute, and shortly after, he found out there was a complete loss of life on that plane that he was supposed to have been on,” said Jim Harris, a fellow former blue beret speaking to a crowd at city hall.

Harris is familiar with the kind of psychological wounds that kept Smith away from the ceremony.

A group of former Canadian peacekeepers gather at city hall for a UN flag raising ceremony to mark National Peacekeepers’ Day Tuesday. “A lot of peacekeepers today have injuries that we can’t see,” said former blue beret Jim Harris.

“My wife won’t even sleep with mythology ever since.

Peacekeepers, which include not me now because of the nightmares and the thrashing about that I do at just Canadian Forces personnel night,” he said in an interview with but the RCMP and provincial and the Times. “Even when the peace- municipal police forces, deliver keeping duty is over and done with, humanitarian aid, supervise elections, repatriate you walk away refugees, train from it but you still have it.

Harris was joined other UN deployed to the nations during the Korean War, but it wasn’t until bloody war in the former Yugoslavia 1956 that the term peacekeeping in 1992.

Although he had taken part in the entered the popular vocabulary, thanks to Lester B. Pearson. He first Gulf War in 1990, he said the approved the first UN peacekeep- peacekeeping mission in Yugoslavia ing mission in 1956, and Canada’s was far more intense.

“On average in Yugoslavia you were role as a world leader in peacekeeping has been a part of our national in life-threatening situations three,

four, five times a week,” he said.

The danger was often multiplied because it wasn’t always clear who the belligerents were—something Harris said is a constant challenge for peacekeepers.

Another thing that haunts many who wear the blue beret is the feeling they are abandoning people in war-torn countries when they leave.

“You wish you could do more,” said Harris.

The emotional toll on peacekeepers is only starting to be widely recognized, according to Harris, who has himself been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and now helps other veterans cope with their emotional wounds through a program based out of UBC. National Peacekeepers’ Day is important to Harris because it recognizes the physical and emotional sacrifices of the world’s peacekeepers, whom he describes as “angels.”

“They go over into countries that are at war and they put themselves into harm’s way for people that they don’t even know,” he said, “and they die and get wounded and they get mentally hurt.”

convicted sex offender who walked away from a Chilliwack correctional facility may have been spotted in the Abbotsford area.

Police are still looking for Dale Edward Koenders, who failed to return to the Chilliwack Community Corrections Centre in early July.

Police say Koenders is a dangerous offender. His criminal history includes the use of a weapon during a sexual assault.

Abbotsford Police say there has been a series of possible sightings including, most recently, on Aug. 5.

STRAHL, from page 1 “John is, you may have seen in the House, a partisan communicator, no doubt about it, but I don’t think he’s picking a fight,” Strahl said. “We don’t control the agenda in the House anyway. . . . When you don’t have a majority you can’t play the tough guy.

“You are kicking sand in the face of a guy with a bigger sand pile.”

The shuffle comes one day after a public-opinion poll revealed an 11-point drop in popular support for the governing Conservative party, putting them in a virtual tie with the opposition leaders.

However, Harper told his caucus on Thursday that the government did not want to head into a fall election.

Buyer’s market as summer housing sales cool off

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

C

hilliwack real estate has hit the wall.

Residential home sales in Chilliwack and district for July were down 43.5 per cent from the same month last year and 36 per cent from last month.

There were just 87 single family homes and 144 total homes sold in July 2010, which compares to 255

08106040

sold in July 2009 and 224 in June 2010.

But Chilliwack is not alone in the trend as sales in Lower Mainland markets saw the slowest July in a decade.

There is often a slowdown in summer and new mortgage rules coupled with higher interest rates could have had an impact. But many realtors blame the July 1 implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) despite the

fact fear of the tax is “unfounded,” according to the president of the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB), Kyle Hislop.

“HST doesn’t even apply to resale homes, the same way that the former GST did not,” said Hislop in a press release. “The new tax does apply to new construction homes, but on a sliding scale.”

And because of lower home prices in Chilliwack, buyers will rarely get dinged with HST. For

new homes valued under $350,000, maximum federal and provincial rebates apply, according to CADREB. For homes between $350,000 and $450,000 the maximum provincial rebate applies and the federal rebate is calculated on a sliding scale. On homes over $450,000, the maximum provincial rebate applies.

Realtors do like to put a positive spin on either a hot or a sluggish market, and the latest numbers are

◗ Opinion

Straight talk on crime rate

E

van Erar, the American humourist, once referred to statistics as “the only science that enables different experts using the same figures to draw different conclusions.” Famed hockey coach Scotty Bowman was probably more to the point when he claimed, “statistics are for losers.”

In any event, it must be a slow news cycle because statistics are dominating the media these days.

Statisticians and the country’s journalists have blown a gasket about the government’s plans to modify the way data is collected in the long form census. On the upside, things must be going pretty nice if changes to the census is being talked of as a national crisis.

Apparently the folks working at Statistics Canada are taking the news so hard that morale is in freefall. Hey guys, if things are so tough, you can always walk away from your government protected job for life, guaranteed pension, 17 bankable sick days a year and give it a go in the private sector.

But the bigger controversy around statistics is the recently released so-called “crime rate” and what, if anything, it actually means.

Once again, Abbotsford-Mission was given the dubious distinction of being Canada’s murder capital; a claim so ludicrous that it doesn’t even warrant discussion.

Something that does require further analysis, however, is the conclusion from Statistics Canada that crime rates are in decline.

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters According to the official numbers, there were 920 violent crimes per 100,000 people in 2009 compared to 936 in 2008. While this may be encouraging, it’s critical that we remember these numbers only refer to crimes reported to police.

There are several indicators that fewer people, for a variety of reasons, are willing to report criminal victimization than in the past.

Nonetheless, according to the federal Liberals, academics, and a host of other apologists for the criminal class, this is irrefutable evidence that crime is no longer a concern and the government’s plans to crack down on violent, repeat offenders should be immediately disposed of.

OK, let’s all pretend that the reported meager decline from 2008 to 2009 is 100 per cent accurate.

Even if that was the case, it still must be noted that violent crime is more than 300 per cent higher than it was in 1962 when we started collecting such statistics. Similarly, while the soft-on-crime brigade never misses an opportunity to note that property crime has also been declining in recent years, they strategically fail to mention that it’s

still almost 60 per cent higher than was the situation in 1962.

If we throw it all together we see that Canada’s official overall crime rate decreased from 6,615 offences per 100,000 population in 2008 to 6,406 in 2009. But that’s still more than twice the 1962 rate of 2,771 reported crimes. So why isn’t this all important fact being reported?

Probably no single constituency is more negligent and reckless in this deliberate oversight than the country’s criminologists. It seems every journalist across the land has the same dozen criminology “experts” in their list of contacts they always turn to for insightful commentary each year when Statistics Canada releases the official crime rate numbers. Like clockwork, they rattle off the latest stats as absolute proof that the Conservative’s “get tough on crime” agenda is ill-advised and assure us there’s no crime problem whatsoever. Without exception, every criminologist quoted in the major media following the release of the latest numbers showing a three per cent decline in overall crime, avoided making a long term comparison to the situation in 1962.

It would seem, for this crew, opposing a Conservative government is much, much more important than even a semblance of integrity. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the FraserValley.

mess.”

Last week, gruesome details emerged after materials under a publication ban were released to the media. There’s no point in repeating them all here—but what does bear repeating is the one that could have made all the difference. Back in 1997, one of Pickton’s chosen victims escaped after defending herself with a knife. Both Pickton and she ended up in the same hospital. Their bloody clothes were taken as evidence and then someone decided that the victim would not have been a credible witness and the case did not proceed to court. That evidence stayed in a locker for seven years before someone, apparently, went looking for it.

Last week before all of this information was released to the public, a spokesperson for the Vancouver Police Department apologized on behalf of the police force for not catching Pickton sooner. We can now appreciate that he was probably aware of all the information that was about to surface—and that it would not put the police or prosecutors in a good light. But, it is also clear that the VPD can only share some of the blame for letting a monster continue to kill innocent women.

Where are the apologies from prosecutors or other police jurisdictions? And where is the accounting for what turned out to be a pivotal error in the case.

There are understandable cries for a public inquiry into the whole mess. But will this reveal anything we don’t already know? Marginalized women, such as prostitutes, simply don’t get the same time or respect from police and authorities. No surprise there. Will an inquiry result in changes to a system that is, for the most part, merely reflecting society’s view of these women?

Perhaps an inquiry will reveal individuals in the policing and judicial system, who, through neglect or indifference, botched up the case. But we believe that the problem lies deeper than missed evidence—it resides in a society that still views some people as more valuable than others.

Random act of kindness greatly appreciated

Editor: I would like to sincerely thank Justin who helped me when my car broke down.

I had just turned out of the Superstore parking lot in Chilliwack when it broke down, blocking everyone’s way. But out of nowhere, a man named Justin came up to me asking if I needed assistance. Not only did he push my car out of the way and into a parking spot, he then tried to get my car working and looked under the hood to see what was wrong.

Justin said that it was the alternator and amazingly offered to go find a replacement part and to fix the car out of the goodness of his heart. My car now works great. Thank you Justin; you completely made my day and your kindness will not be forgotten.

Keep surveys voluntary Editor: Re: Making the long form census voluntary.

Statistics Canada conducts voluntary surveys on such important topics as the health of Canadians.

The “Canadian Community Health Survey,” conducted on a regular basis, gathers health data at the sub-provincial level and is completely voluntary. This survey purports to gather information on a huge range of health factors, presumably as a basis for decisions on health policies but does not appear to be compulsory in any way.

If statisticians are happy with voluntary surveys on something as important as the health of Canadians, why are they all in a panic over making the long form census voluntary?

Climate our man on moon Editor: I can’t believe it’s been 41 years since astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first set foot on the moon.

Landing men on the moon in the summer of ’69 was an amazing technological achievement and it brought the world together in a universal moment of triumphant celebration.

The array of resources and brilliant minds put in place to accomplish this amazing feat was unprecedented and it’s exactly the kind of all-out effort we need to put in place now to solve the issue of climate

Considering the amazing technological accomplishment that landing two men on the moon represents, it’s a sad state of affairs that 41 years later most of the world has still not managed to get beyond the industrial revolution era and is still burning coal to make electricity, particularly our American neighbours who won the race to the moon.

President Kennedy ignited the imagination of his generation when he set the seemingly impossible goal of putting a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s. At the time, nothing could have seemed more unachievable. But it was a huge success and the mission was accomplished.

What the world needs now is a bold leader like President Kennedy who can set us on the path to getting the world off coal and ignite the imagination of our generation’s most brilliant minds: A leader who can see to it that the resources and the unwavering will needed are put in place to accomplish the task.

Getting the world off coal power should be our generation’s seemingly impossible goal. Our moon landing. And just imagine the universal moment of triumphant celebration when we finally accomplish this task?

Site C dam project gets F Editor: Mike Taylor states in his July 26 letter to the editor that he cannot understand why some people are opposed to Site C. At the risk of stating the obvious, I will explain to him that people are opposed to large dams and reservoirs because of the damages done to the environment. We are concerned about loss of valuable agricultural land and wildlife habitat, prolonged extensive slipping of river banks and the impacts of impeded river flow on downstream

communities.

We are opposed to Site C also because it is a hugely expensive project which will primarily serve to subsidize the exports of private power producers. Mr. Taylor claims that “billions of dollars could have flowed into this province” and conveniently omits the consideration of construction and financing costs which would also be in the billions of dollars. BC Hydro’s current cost estimate of $6.6 billion dollars is based on decades old engineering plans.

Energy exports will do nothing for our provincial coffers because BC Hydro has contracted this export power from independent power producers (Site C would serve as a battery-type back-up for the inconsistency of wind and run-of-river projects) Mr. Taylor is correct in his assertion that Site C has been under consideration for a long time. BC Hydro had investigated the area between the Peace Canyon and the Alberta border for several years before engineering studies were begun in 1971 and subsequent application made in 1980 for an Energy Project Certificate. The BC Utilities Commission completed its own studies and hearings, issuing a report in May 1983 which stated that Site C was not in the provincial interest and that BC Hydro had not demonstrated Site C to be the best project to meet any anticipated supply deficiency. Following the recommendation of the BC Utilities Commission, in November 1983 the provincial cabinet denied the Energy Project Certificate for Site C. Now, apparently because we need to start exporting more power (see Globe and Mail April 21 article Site C dam laying groundwork for surge in energy exports) Site C has been revisited.

The provincial government made its announcement in April and shortly afterwards initiated legislation (“Clean Energy Act”) which removes Site C from the oversight of the BC Utilities Commission. Our government is clearly eager to avoid

another regulatory denial.

I am wondering if Mr, Taylor will get his wish because it looks like the political fix is in.

Lower Mainlanders should try to imagine the devastation that would ensue from dams on the Fraser, Thompson, Pitt or Alouette Rivers. With those apocalyptic visions in their minds they will surely have some idea why people are opposed to the flooding of a beautiful northern river valley.

Stephen Harper is a fanatic Editor: Winston Churchill said, ‘A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.”

Doesn’t this observation summarize the behaviour and response of Mr. Harper whenever he faces a challenge, e.g., the latest political fiasco over the Census?

Have you noticed how all Stephen’s minions answer reporters’ questions by inserting, over and over, a previously scripted Conservative message? Have they been told, “Most voters are simple folks with short memories; therefore, stay on message or find yourself another job”?

There is little hope of negotiating a compromise with a fanatic. Likewise there seems little hope of negotiating compromises with Harper after the Conservatives decide, behindclosed-doors, what is best for Canadians. Harper must be afraid that negotiations, compromises and consensus building will be seen as signs of personal weakness.

Perhaps he actually believes tyranny, proclamations and pigheadedness are signs of strength.

Even though I support many conservative policies in principle, I can not abide the elitist, inflexible and controlling actions of Harper’s minority government.

After all, it was elected by less than 40 per cent of the voters and is expected to serve all Canadians. How would Harper behave if he ever obtained a majority?

Losing faith in fellow humans Editor: You know, it’s crazy living right beside the new Evans Road overpass. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have access to the freeway and faster to get to town. But

people just don’t get it when they come from town that if you are going to the mall you must either take the Yale Road overpass or if you come down Evans take the Knight Road. Stop turning into our complex and doing u-turns or doing the u-turn right where the sign says NO U-TURNS, dummies.

Also, it’s bad enough people are letting their dogs poop on our lawn. We are now getting grown adults stopping in our complex and using out bushes and parking lot as a washroom.

Don’t you people have morals?

Letter opened eyes on HST Editor: I would like to take my hat off to H. Warner regarding the “HST saves me money” letter.

I also signed the petition against the HST. Thank you for opening my eyes on how I can save money. I too have stopped going to my favourite Starbucks and we seldom go out to dinner anymore.

I will also be calling my cable and phone company as an anti-HST advocate.

Support local corn growers Editor: I love corn. I see it in all the supermarkets. I also see it is not from B.C. and that our citizens are actually buying it.

Hey peeps, what are you thinking? Are you too lazy or too cheap to buy local?

We should be supporting our local farmers and there is nothing better than the local corn our farmers produce.

C’mon, get off your cheap, lazy butts and buy local. I do and I will not buy corn until ours is ripe. Now I eat it several times a week.

Ridiculous excuses Editor: With the latest revelations arising from the houseboat fatality on Shuswap Lake recently, retired RCMP Inspector Bill Melchners criticism of the force was

dead on.

A respected media source on controversial issues concerning same, he stated that the bungling by the force in the McCann case in Alberta after the discovery of their burned out motorhome enforces his opinion that they have become “lazy and make ridiculous explanations” in defence of their incompetency .

Exactly what occurred in that bay on the Shuswap?

Despite public concerns over the years of excessive consumption of alcohol and dangerous operations of boats by a few during the annual celebrations, there was no police presence during the event which surely would have curtailed the speedboat operator involved from excessive speed and doing figure eights as described by witnesses present as well as not displaying required lighting on his boat. There would have been no fatality as took place.

When asked by a reporter why they were not in attendance considering public concerns of past behaviour, a senior officer stated he “did not think that they were requested to attend.”

A ridiculous explanation to be sure.

Now, we learn that 27 empty bottles and a bag of marijuana was found on the speedboat and that the operator displayed slurred speech and alcohol on his breath indicative of impairment. Despite this, he was not subjected to a breathalyzer test as required by law as with motor vehicle operation. Also, being a local businessman in a small community, the RCMP detachment would surely be aware that he had three impaired driving convictions in his past and conducted the test. Another ridiculous explanation for the failure to do so—they believed that the hospital where he was taken would have taken a sample of his blood and later, with the authority of a warrant, they would determine the level of alcohol in it. They point the finger at the hospital, stating that the hospital staff failed to do it. Dereliction to be sure.

As for the McCann case, a huge number of the public are encouraging the volunteering and formation of a citizen search party to locate them. The immediate response by the RCMP to this has been to discourage it despite there being numerous instances in the past where families and volunteers have been successful when the authorities have not.

Penalties play major role in Huskers defeat

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he Chilliwack Huskers are still looking for their first win of the season after falling 26-13 to the Kamloops Broncos Saturday evening at Exhibition Stadium.

The Broncos also entered Saturday’s tilt without a win and looked ripe for the taking by a hungry Huskers squad. But several ill-timed penalties along with an ongoing problem stopping the run combined to derail Chilliwack’s hopes.

“We made a few mental mistakes, some discipline mistakes . . . really kind of shooting ourselves in the foot in the first half (and) extended their drives.”

Luke Acheson The Huskers actually took fewer penalties than their Interior counterparts, but it was the timing that had Huskers head coach Luke Acheson fuming.

“We made a few mental mistakes, some discipline mistakes . . . really kind of shooting ourselves in the foot in the first half [and] extended their drives,” said Acheson of the penalty troubles. “In any close game

like that, it kind of comes down to who makes the most mistakes.”

Like in past games, the Huskers fell behind early— they trailed 18-0 at half time—before rallying late in the game.

The Broncos put Dave Boulton, normally a receiver, behind centre, and while Chilliwack was able to limit Boulton to just 122 yards passing, on the ground it was a different story. Four Broncos rushers combined for 161 yards, with Boulton running seven times himself, including one for a touchdown.

Chilliwack, meanwhile, continued to struggle running the ball, managing just 72 yards on 22 carries, the majority by Austin Kappell.

Through the air, it was a different matter, with Clayton Kroeker completing 17 of 32 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns. His favourite target, Adam Leggott, made nine catches for 127 yards and a touchdown.

Their efforts helped the Huskers draw to within six points late in the fourth quarter before a Kamloops t o u c h d ow n s e a l e d t h e Broncos’ win.

“It was close down to the wire,” said Acheson.

The Huskers have a chance to make amends this weekend, as they travel to Kamloops to renew hostilities with the Broncos.

Acheson said the offence, defence and special teams all must be better if Chilliwack hopes to break its goose egg.

Howse enjoying camp

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

W

ith a couple weeks until training camp begins, Chilliwack Bruins sniper Ryan Howse figures he’s already up to game speed after participating in Canada’s National Junior Team development camp in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Howse joined 45 of the other best young Canadian forwards, defencemen and goaltenders at the camp, which wrapped up Saturday.

“It was really good,” Howse told the Times on Monday. “I got to see the skill level of players from right across Canada and the different leagues and got the feel of what it would be like to be part of World Juniors.”

Howse took part in the Calgary Flames’ rookie camp in late July and went from there to St. John’s.

“I’ve played three games now and some guys have barely skated,” he said. “I feel like I’ve never stopped playing hockey after the season.”

Still, Howse said that the potential to be a part of the World Juniors squad won’t be as much a motivating factor as the desire to help the Bruins get off to a quick start.

“Obviously I want to make that team, that’s my goal,” he said, “but I’m going to go out and play my hardest for my team, my teammates, and do all I can for them and if I get the World Junior call again, I’ll work my hardest there.

“I just want to win in Chilliwack and if World Juniors are there, I’ll take it.”

A crowd of kittens awaits adoption at the Chilliwack SPCA shelter. Tough economic times and summer kitten season have converged to create a perfect storm of kittens and cats flooding into the society’s shelter and foster facilities.

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he Chilliwack SPCA urgently needs permanent homes for cats and kittens.

The number of abandoned and surrendered cats and kittens currently at the shelter and its satellite adoption agency, Oly’s Pet Connection, is almost double what it was at this time last year, according to acting manager Jodie Dunlop.

Last July, 67 cats and kittens were in the local SPCA’s care, she said.

This year she estimates that number is closer to 130.

“Adoptions are down,” said Dunlop. “People are surrendering a lot of their animals and abandoning

Double trouble at SPCA

Local shelter overrun with cats and kittens them because they’ve lost their job or for whatever reason they just can’t afford to care for them any more, so we’re seeing a huge increase, plus it’s also kitten season.”

The shelter has had to start asking people surrendering felines to hold onto to them until space can be found, and there are now about 20 people waiting, according to Chilliwack SPCA volunteer Laura Van dijk, who added that many of

those pet owners have female cats with litters of kittens.

While most owners and people looking to bring in strays have been understanding, some are less willing to wait. “We get the odd person that’s angry, and then of course we end up taking the animal because they start threatening to kill it or dump it on the side of the road,” said Dunlop, “but the majority of people are pretty good when we explain our

situation.”

To deal with the crisis, the SPCA is urging people looking for a feline companion to adopt one instead of picking one up for free or buying one from a pet store.

All SPCA cats are vaccinated, spayed, neutered, tattooed and health checked.

Along with continuing to encourage people to spay and neuter their cats, the SPCA hopes to attract more pet stores to act as satellite adoption agencies. So far only Oly’s has stepped up to partner with the agency. ◗ Fo r m o re i n f o r m a t i o n o n adoption, visit www.spca.bc.ca or phone the Chilliwack SPCA at 604823-6612.

Obituaries

Oct.10, 1939 – Aug. 5, 2010 Bill passed away at home in the early morning on August 5th with his loving wife Brigitte at his side. He is survived by his brother Gary McIntyre (and family in Winnipeg), his son Daniel (and wife Debra) McIntyre, his daughters, Angela and Tina McIntyre and grandsons Duncan McIntyre and Danyon Fox. He will be sadly missed. Born and raised in Grandview Manitoba before joining the military in 1955, proudly serving his country for 39 years and retired as a Major in 1994. He met Brigitte while stationed in Germany andthey married in Soest in 1964. They returned to Calgary in 1965 with their young son Daniel.

Angela came along in 1967 followed by Tina in 1971 after relocating to Edmonton. More travelling followed with a tour of Churchill Manitoba, back to Germany for several years in the 80’s before returning to Calgary again. Then on to Winnipeg, Ottawa, Vancouver and finally retiring and settling down in Chilliwack. Bill fought and overcame two courageous battles with cancer, managed the last several years with Parkinson’s and hardly missed a beat while continuing to enjoy golfing and fishing whenever he could. Finally the old ticker started to pack it in over the last few months. He spent his last days happy and energetic however, after having some reinvigorating and temporarily successful coronary surgery.

Donations in Bill’s honour to Parkinson Society Canada (www.parkinson.ca) would be greatly appreciated. Memorial service will be held at 1400hrs on Monday, August, 9th, at Chilliwack Evangelical Missionary Church, 9310 Williams Street.

Love from your family

MALCOLM, Robert Park

January 18, 1941 ~ August 4, 2010 Robert Park Malcolm born Jan 18, 1941 in Vancouver passed away on August 4, 2010 at Royal Columbian Hospital with his wife of 34 years by his side.

He will be deeply missed by his wife Maxine, children Jeff (Karen), Jill, Daren (Ellen), Kim (Warren) and his precious grandchildren Justin, Trevor, Bryce, Chase, Quinn, Devon and James. He is also survived by his brothers Peter (Helen) & Brian (Carol) and many nieces and nephews. Rob lived in Chilliwack with his wife Maxine and their cat Spunky. “Papa” was especially proud of all his grandchildren and their achievements. Rob spoke so fondly of his childhood days at Camp Artaban. The stories he would tell would seem so vivid in his mind and held many special memories in his heart. Rob’s work life involved over 30 years as a broadcaster. He worked for CFUN, CKNW and anchored the late news for BCTV for over 19 years. Other work included owning an Inn in Alberta with his wife Maxine. Rob loved playing scrabble, reading, being with his family, playing golf and of course, watching the golf channel on TV 24 hrs a day. Rob was very smart, kind and had a wonderful sense of humour. His hearty laugh would echo throughout the room. He took great care of his wife and absolutely adored her. Papa will be always be with us in our hearts and we will be together again. We are planning a celebration of life for family and friends to be held on Thursday, August 12th from 1-4 at Meadowlands Golf and Country Club 47823 Yale Road Chilliwack. Flowers gratefully declined, however we encourage you to share any stories you have about Rob. He loved to laugh and would find great humour in anything you had to say!

May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of despair

A division of Postmedia Network Inc.

Bob was taken from us suddenly July 26, 2010 at age 53. Bob was born Nov. 01, 1956 in Toronto, Ontario.

Bob had been struggling mentally and physically from Parkinson’s for many years. Bob grew up in Chilliwack and enjoyed hanging out with his buddies. Bob was a big car enthusiast, and enjoyed screaming around in his ‘69 Camaro, and terrorizing the cops. After doing odd jobs in Chilliwack which included being a car salesman at different locations, Bob ran a restaurant in Vancouver called P.J. Burgers. Then was a general manager of Dutchies Deli in Chilliwack that he ran with Leo Vermette. Bob then moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he met his lovely future wife Bridget Nicholson. Bob did his first stunt work in Phoenix. Bob and Bridget then moved to Los Angeles, California, where there was much more stunt work opportunities, Bob also got to do some stunt driving, which of course he loved, he was such a natural. Bob also got several acting roles. In fact, Bob did the stunt driving in a movie they made in Chilliwack. The local paper interviewed him and put a big picture and article in the paper with title “Successful local boy returns to his roots to film movie”. Bob and his wife lived right in Hollywood; hence he acquired his nickname “Hollywood”. Bob and Bridget were together for 6 years before divorcing. Bob continued his stunt work and acting roles. He then met and lived with Marybeth and her 4 children for approximately a year. After they broke up, her and Bob remained very close loving friends and always kept in contact with each other. Bob then got a job at Peterson’s Publishing where he became the feature editor of one of the top car magazines in the country called Chevy-High Performance, where many times he was featured on the cover. While at Peterson’s, Bob learned that his niece needed a kidney and Bob was a perfect match. Bob dropped everything and came to Vancouver to get the procedure done, a truely remarkable and unselfish deed. While working there, through sponsorships, he built a supercharged 1993 Camaro, and a 1956 Chevy with nearly 700 horsepower, they were his pride and joy.

The effects of his Parkinson’s were progressively wearing on him all this time and contributed to his leaving Chevy-High Performance.

Bob moved back to Chilliwack with his motorhome and stayed at Brian Dietrich’s for a number of years. They used to be childhood neighbours. At Brian’s, Bob did engine and body detailing and upgrades on top end vehicles. Bob then moved his motorhome to a friend’s house at Cultus Lake. He then got a job in Langley doing the same work on show cars. The disease was rapidly taking its toll on Bob and him being a proud man it was depressing him tremendously, how it was affecting him mentally and physically and his ability to earn a living. In Bob’s words, it was “devastating”. Shortly after this, Bob made his ...Transition. Throughout Bob’s life many were witness to observe how extraordinarily talented and gifted he was, and left many people in awe and some in envy. Bob will always be remembered and missed by his family for his big, generous heart, loving fun disposition, love and kindness to all people and animals, encouragement to learn and study, and especially his big warm bear hugs. Many friends also adored Bob. To many of their children he was known as “Uncle Bob”. We are broken-hearted but so grateful to have had you in our lives. ‘Til we meet again-thank you, and love forever. Bob loved his family very much, especially his sweet lovable mother, and has stated he sees a living angel, everytime he sees her face. Bob is predeceased by his father Donald James Cassell (1925-1987). Survived by his mother Corina Sara Cassell nee Van der Wouden; sister Juanita Corina Comeau, her husband Frank Comeau and her children (born to her and her husband Tom Blackwell of Chilliwack before his passing away in 1986) Corina, Lila, Mary, Angela and Tom Blackwell; sister Donita Catherine Cooper, her husband Gregory Cooper of Richmond and children, Donetta and Ann-Scarlett; brother Donald James, his wife Wanda of Newfoundland and children Jenny, Amanda, Grant, Holly and Michael. his grand nephews and nieces are Adam, Scott, John, Ben, Davis, Kate, Ash, Eli, Dresden, Josephine, and Fox. Bob is dearly missed and loved by many. We would like to thank the Cultus Lake Fire Dept and Paramedics. Also the local Chilliwack RCMP and Surrey RCMP for their sensitivity and consideration in handling the situation and family. The service will be held Aug. 21, 2010 at 1:00pm, at the Chilliwack Arts Center, 45899 Henderson Ave, Chilliwack, B.C. A get together is planned after and will be announced at service. Any tribute e-mails can be sent to: vernemal@telus.net. Or can be given to MC at the service.

*PRICE MATCH. We determine a major competitor based on our assessment of a number of relevant factors that may vary by region. “Items you buy most” refers to our top selling products. We check competitor pricing on the majority of items you buy most on a weekly basis; and in all cases, no less than quarterly. We may not match a competitor’s short term promotional pricing activities(ie. one day sales or ‘door crashers’) or other promotional pricing activities such as ‘2 for 1’ or ‘buy 1 get 1 free’. We do not Price Match all items at all times; where we have Price Matched an item, it will be identified in-store. This is not a price match guarantee where we match any competitor price you find. PRICE CUT. Longer term price reductions on items identified in-store. “Items that matter most to you” refers to our top selling products. WEEKLY SPECIAL. Typically in effect from Saturday to Friday of each week on items identified in-store and/or in flyer.
