Report supports light rail

Strahl still going strong

‘An honest accounting’ of the potential transit system

Five years since first being diagnosed with lung cancer, our MP is busier than ever

BY CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

ight rail proponents are optimistic about having passenger service return to the Fraser Valley after the release of a feasibility study on Monday. “We’re tremendously excited. This is the most comprehensive light rail study ever undertaken in this province, performed by an outfit with expertise in light rail solutions,” said John Buker, a founder of Rail For the Valley founder and a study co-ordinator. “This is an independent analysis by a respected company based in Great Britain that has a very solid track record in rail planning, including work on, among other things the Channel Tunnel. This report will, at long last, provide us with an honest accounting of the potential for passenger rail service on the Interurban corridor. This is something that has been sorely lacking in all provincial government-commissioned studies to date.” The report looked at the issues on re-establishing a passenger services on the former Interurban track, which runs from Chilliwack to Surrey, and which is currently used by Southern Railway for freight. The capital costs for a diesel/ hybrid train on a run from Chilliwack to the Scott Road Skytrain station would be $500 million ($5 million per kilometre) or $606 million for an electric option ($6.2 per km). The report proposes three trains See RAIL, Page 6

Chilliwack MP Chuck Strahl, who is also minister of transport, infrastructure and communities, was at the Pacific Central Station in Vancouver recently to unveil seven new West Coast Express passenger cars.

huck Strahl is a busy man. Since his appointment to the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities portfolio a month ago, the Tory member of Parliament from Chilliwack with the squeaky-clean reputation has spent much of his days — and evenings — in endless rounds of meetand-greets with various government stakeholders, all of them looking to bend the new minister’s ear before the House of Commons convenes Monday. “Trucker associations and port associations and airlines and airports, security firms, you name it,” Strahl said, reeling off just a few of the notable folks with their fingers in the country’s transport pie. Strahl had about 20 minutes to give The Sun in a telephone interview Wednesday—a brief Q&A wedged between a morning ride-along with Canada Post in rural Quebec and another afternoon of hand-shaking across the bridge in Ottawa. “I’ll talk fast,” he dead-panned, an early sign that the folksy charm and famed sense of humour that helped propel him into office 17 years ago are still very much alive. Also clearly thriving in the relentlessly tough federal arena is Strahl himself. It’s been five years now, almost to the day, since the then-49-year-old sent shock waves through his constituency, and nation, when he revealed he has mesothelioma, a rare and untreatable lung cancer caused by his exposure to asbestos in his previous career in the logging industry. Many assumed that, at the very least, Strahl’s career in Ottawa was finished, that he would be forced to step See STRAHL, Page 10

1989 Raised Salish totem pole

It was a scene that had not been repeated for 100 years as a new totem pole was raised on a small island within Salish Park. The Salish pole was carved in the traditional style of the people who have lived in the river valley for centuries. Master of ceremonies Steven Point said the pole raising was a wonder tribute to the Sto:lo nation. The pole’s carver, Stan Greene, was “happy the native people came out to witness their culture.”

Fox Run raises the bar Close to $26,000 collected during 30th anniversary celebrations

ike they have each year since Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope captivated the nation 30 years ago, hundreds gathered Sunday to run in his stead and raise money for cancer research. Around 240 people took part in Sunday’s Terry Fox Run, which, along with a Saturday event, raised $25,964.97 for the fight against cancer. “The events were very successful and we raised a lot of money,” said organizer Margaret Kostrzewa, who added that figure was about $10,000 more than last year and illustrated Fox’s enduring legacy. “It’s t o c o n t i n u e h i s l e g a c y,

A g o o d c h u n k o f t h i s y e a r’s money—about $3,800—came courtesy of the fundraising efforts of Coun. Chuck Stam and son Brent, who had their heads shaved Saturday. (Stam’s head was shaved, somewhat maliciously, by fellow councillor Ken Huttema.) For the Stams, and for four-yearold Isaiah Stevenson, who had his head shaved for his grandma, the focus was on battling cancer. While at the r un on Sunday, Kostrzewa struck up a conversation with a young woman who had been afflicted with the same type of cancer that had cost Fox his leg. Cancer-free for 10 years and having saved her leg, Kostrzewa said the woman’s presence underscored the purpose of the run. “That’s why we’re doing this: to have the research done and save people’s lives,” said Kostrzewa.

o slugs will be eaten, but there’s no assurances that the Fight HST campaign’s new MLA Survivor Recall competition won’t get ugly. The competition stakes 18 ridings—including John Les’s Chilliwack constituency—against one another to see which MLAs will be targeted first. In addition to Les, the list of 18 targeted MLAs includes finance minister Colin Hansen, but not B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell. For mer B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm said the only way the group would stop the recall process would be if the HST referendum is held this year, and is based on a question that the Fight HST group agrees to. Fight HST organizer Chris Delaney said Cariboo Chilcotin, Oak Bay Gordon Head, Kamloops North Thompson and Boundary Similkameen are the front running ridings, with many canvassers already registered. The MLA Survivor Recall competition will determine the first three MLAs to be targeted, but the recall campaigns won’t end there, Delaney said. A new recall will launch every month after the first three, and will continue until the HST is eliminated or there is a new government, Delaney said. The recall initiative requires forty per cent of registered voters in a riding to sign up, and takes about four months to complete. Premier Gordon Campbell said last week he will scrap the controversial harmonized sales tax if that’s how a majority of British Columbians vote in a provincewide referendum set for Sept. 24, 2011.

Cleanups, flotillas all part of local rivers day Various groups holding events centred around protecting rivers

his weekend the focus for many will be on rivers in Chilliwack and beyond. World Rivers Day is a global celebration of the world’s waterways and has been observed the last Sunday in September since 2005. The worldwide event stemmed from the successful B.C. Rivers Day begun in 1980 by conservationist Mark Angelo. This Sunday a number of events are planned around the province, which coincides with the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup on Saturday. As part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, an event has been planned in Harrison Hot Springs by the Miami River Streamkeepers. At 10 a.m. participants will meet at Spirit Square on Espalande Avenue and begin a cleanup of the lagoon and beach area. For more information on this event and others visit www.shorelinecleanup.ca. On Sunday, as part of B.C. Rivers Day the Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society has a cleanup planned. The society has been taking a proactive approach to the problem of garbage in waterways by cleaning up the

banks of the Chilliwack/Vedder River since the spring of 2002. So far it has extracted more than 60 tonnes of material from the river’s riparian zone, thanks to the hundreds of volunteers that have turned out to help the society. As well, major support from the City of Chilliwack, Fraser Valley Regional District, Chilliwack Fish Game and Protective Association, Tim Hortons’ Chilliwack branch, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada have helped make this happen. For more information on Sunday’s cleanup visit www.cleanrivers.ca. Also part of B.C. Rivers Day on Sunday is a Harrison River paddle trip. Participants in this event put on by the Hope Mountain Centre will be part of a giant flotilla of voyageurs, canoes, kayaks, and rafts that will travel 18 kilometres from Harrison Lake to historic Kilby. Along the way, a Chehalis cultural guide will point out ancient rock paintings and village sites, and share some of the stories and traditions that define the cultural wealth of the Harrison. The Harrison is also wealthy in fish and wildlife values. The river supports all five species of Pacific salmon. It was recently declared a “Salmon Stronghold” by Angelo and the Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (PFRCC). The “Stronghold” designation offers effective new tools to protect the long-term survival of salmon in our backyard. For more on this event and others as part of B.C. Rivers Day visit www.commons.bcit. ca/riversday.

Dairy farmer Michael Schmidt, tha national face of the raw milk battle, has taken over Chilliwack’s Home on the Range dairy

Raw milk advocate takes over controversial dairy BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ntario farmer Michel Schmidt has taken over Chilliwack’s Home on the Range dairy so the flow of raw milk can continue to hundreds of members of the co-operative. Fraser Health has been trying to shut down Home on the Range for more than two years and on Tuesday succeeded in forcing the cowshares operator Alice Jongerden to officially resign as part of a court-ordered condition. Jongerden was in court in New Westminster Tuesday facing civil contempt of court charges brought by Fraser Health for continuing the milk production and distribution after being issued cease and desist orders. She asked for an adjournment, something the judge agreed to under the condition that there would be no further production or distribution. She then stepped down and Schmidt told the Times Friday that cowshare members are on the farm to milk the cows. “Alice is completely out now,” he said over the phone from Ontario. “I’m at the moment basically managing it from here.”

Schmidt said he will essentially run the dairy from his farm in Durham, Ont. He plans to come out for a visit later this month for two days. Schmidt has been consulting and supporting Home on the Range for a number of years. Schmidt’s own case made national and international headlines in January when he was acquitted of all 19 charges in Ontario court for running an operation similar to Jongerden’s. “I was acquitted in exactly the same situation as Home on the Range,” he said. “People own the cows and we had a private arrangement just like Home on the Range.” The Ontario government is appealing the decision, but in the meantime Schmidt says the authorities are leaving his operation alone. When asked if he hoped Fraser Health would eventually respect the Ontario situation as some sort of precedent, Schmidt said: “One way or the other we’ll get them.” In a press release issued by Jongerden Friday morning, Schmidt says “We have reached the level of a new and powerful dictatorship called bureaucracy in the name of food safety, and in the favour of multinational corporations.”

Thief entered home while occupants were sleeping

hilliwack police have arrested a man in connection with two recent breakand-enters that occurred while the residents were asleep. Christopher Michael Yep, 27, has been charged with two counts of break-and-enter, two counts of theft over $5,000, one count of possessing break-in instruments, one count of possessing and using a stolen credit card, and one count of carrying a concealed weapon. In both break-ins, “the suspect was able to enter and exit the residence without waking anyone, and the break-ins were discovered and reported to police in the morning hours,” according to RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop.

One break-in occurred Aug. 28 on Bellevue Drive; the other took place Sept. 7 on Maple Avenue. In each case, police say the suspect broke into the home, stole an ignition key, and then took off with a vehicle. Yep was arrested Sept. 15 by plain clothes officers. According to Dunlop there has been a spike in break-and-enters and related property crime over the past several weeks. RCMP are still investigating whether Yep is tied to any other crimes. But Dunlop said that, regardless, police have received reports of break-and-enters both during the day and night and believe there are other criminals who have yet to be identified.

Riders could use a microchip smart card that could be prepaid and reloaded for any combination of ride tickets. The report also looked at options to downtown Vancouver (a $1 billion price tag) and to Richmond. Travel times are estimated to be 90 minutes from Chilliwack to the Scott Road Skytrain Station, or two hours in total if a commuter continued to downtown Vancouver. The trip from Knight Road in Sardis to Abbotsford would take under 30 minutes, and a trip from Chilliwack to Yarrow, just 13.5 minutes The author, Leewood Projects of England, analyzed the potential for light rail service on

the existing and publicly owned Interurban rail corridor, and its potential to connect communities south of the Fraser from Chilliwack to Vancouver with an affordable, sustainable public transportation system. The Interurban serviced the valley daily until the late 1950s. Buker said his group had been waiting for a $400,000 provincial study on light rail, but its scope didn’t include Vancouver, Surrey and Langley. Rail For The Valley concluded that it was doubtful the provincial report, when it is finally released, will shed much light on the true potential for a light rail service.

Turning disaster property around

Hot Tub Repair

Home was destroyed in landslide

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he Fraser Valley Regional District is trying to figure out what to do with a Chilliwack River Valley property that was flooded after a landslide in January 2009. The regional district purchased the property with provincial emergency relief funds after the slide, which started on Jan. 7, 2009, diverted Ryder Creek through the Auchenway Road property and swamped a home. On Tuesday, members of the regional district’s Electoral Areas Service Commission approved a staff recommendation to ask a local non-profit group to develop a business plan for the property that may include turning it into a fish habitat for wintering coho salmon and steelhead trout. The Chilliwack River Action Commit-

tee (CRAC) has proposed to partner with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to move the creek away from an unstable slope, which looms over the property and makes it an unsafe place for a home. CRAC volunteer David Lamson hopes that moving the creek would decrease the amount of silt—which can negatively impact fish egg incubation—entering Ryder Creek and the downstream spawning area. (Lamson is also the Electoral E representative, and so excused himself from the EASC’s decision-making process to avoid any perceived conflict of interest.) Meanwhile, the FVRD is investigating the possibility of selling the property to the Nature Trust, a non-profit conservation organization that already owns several parcels of land in the Chilliwack

River Valley. Area D representative Bill Dickey said that the regional district wouldn’t likely get much money from the sale. Rather, it would be “more a case of [finding] somebody that’s capable of taking it over,” he said. “It’s a very complicated piece of property.” Lamson, wearing his CRAC hat, said his group wouldn’t mind if the property were to be turned over to the Nature Trust. “I would be quite satisfied with that,” he told the Times. The CRAC, for its part, wants to help improve the property, but can’t commit to maintaining it indefinitely. “I’m hesitant to say that us volunteers are going to look after it forever,” said Lamson.

Gwen Point looks at a poster capturing part of the First Nations residential school experience which is on display at the Chilliwack campus library this fall. Point was on hand for the welcoming event.

Poster reminds us of what was lost I

magine a small village with all its children gone. That was the reality created by residential schools, according to a poster now up in UFV’s Chilliwack campus library. The bulletin-board-sized poster, created by Diane Nosaty of UFV instructional media services, is of a west coast First Nations village deserted except for

ghostly watermark images of aboriginal children. The poster and a display case of books, videos and other resources will be on display this fall to create awareness about the continuing legacy of residential schools in the lives of First Nations and aboriginal people. The initiative was launched Wednes-

day with a ceremony outside the library attended by UFV instructor Her Honour Gwen Point, who sang a traditional thank-you song, and Eddie Gardner, the facilitator of the Indian Residential Schools Survivors Support Program for Stó:lõ Health Services, who spoke about the residential school experience and led an honour song for the project.

Reading is the key to school

ike anyone else teaching at the post-secondary level, I’m typically asked by prospective students or their parents, “what’s the best way to prepare for university?” There are as many answers to this question as there are choices of which university and which discipline one is interested in. There are no shortages of university preparation guides, books geared toward academic success, and student survival manuals; many of which are most helpful. Academic and career counsellors make a living assisting people with this question. For me though, the best advice I have comes down to one simple strategy. Read and read lots. The most knowledgeable people I’ve encountered in my lifetime have rarely been highly educated. Rather, they read. And they read lots. Naturally this begs the question, “read what?” To an extent, I don’t believe it matters so long as one varies their choice of books. Oh yes, I guess I should stress that I’m referring to books. As wonderful and convenient as the World Wide Web is, it is no substitute for that labour of love that took so long to research, write, rewrite, edit and finally publish. While school and university came rather easily to me, it had nothing to do with being smart, whatever that means. I simply had

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters started devouring books at 10 years of age after half a decade emersed in comic books. I started with the Gods and Goddesses of Greek and Roman mythology in Grade 4. When I got to the bottom of that collection in the school library I got a library card for the regional branch and went through their inventory. From this I took an interest in astronomy given that many stars, planets and constellations were named after characters from the ancient Greek and Roman myths. That lasted through to the end of elementary school. Literature quickly became my favourite subject in junior high and this introduced me to a sampling of the classics. Over the next four years I made my way through a few hundred of the giants of English literature and had pretty well read everything that any English literature major at university would encounter. From there I went through phases: beat literature for a year or so; memoirs of the Great Depression;

political science; biographies; and true crime. I even had a 10-month period where I got through pretty well everything ever written about pirates, swashbucklers, samurai and other sword swinging rogues. This background, varied and often seemingly irrelevant, prepared me for university more than anything else. For everything I had to read and analyze in my undergraduate and graduate studies, very little was near as challenging or complex as what I had made my way through thousands of times previous. Tragically, reading real books is on the wane, particularly among young people. The publishing industry has never been in worse shape and it’s not uncommon for university students to be unable to identify a single book read in the last five years; unless it was classroom required. This has consequences far beyond prospective university students who have never had a library card. Or, as much more eloquently stated by Ray Radbury, “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the FraserValley.

he provincial government’s recent presentation of its revised budget is insulting. Finance Minister Colin Hansen announced last week that British Columbia’s deficit for this fiscal year is now expected to come in at $1.4 billion—$335 million less than when the plan was tabled. That much is good. But then Hansen went on to invite taxpayers to tell him what to do with the government’s newly “available dollars” for next year. Fund new services? Cut taxes? Reduce the debt? This part is outrageous. It doesn’t take an accountant to understand that these dollars are fictitious. The province isn’t making more money than originally planned; it’s only borrowing less. There is not, in fact, any “extra” money available at all. To treat the difference between the old projected deficit and the new projected deficit as cash is misleading and irresponsible—and doubly so coming from a government that only just repealed its own law making deficits illegal. Worse, to suggest that this discrepancy could be used to pay down debt crosses the line from ill-advised to ridiculous. Since when can negative funds be used to cut debt? It’s nothing new for a government to use accounting sleight-of-hand to buy votes, but to do so in such a blatant fashion is disrespectful. Any voter with a credit card understands our province’s predicament very well. No amount of silly rhetoric is going to change that. If the B.C. Liberals want to regain the respect of their electorate, they have to stop trying to dupe them, and begin treating them as the thinking adults that they are.

Her kids would trade places Editor: Dianne Darke is right. The days of good old fashioned Canadian way of life are gone. Gone are the days when a parent could spend time with their child and teach them a useful trade, or skill, without someone citing laws that were designed to avoid things that go on in Asia, you know, real work by kids. Also, I couldn’t help but chuckle out of someone bringing up labour issues for a kid who was probably beyond tickled pink to operate a real cash register and take real orders. I have four kids and they would probably all trade places with that kid for a day to be lucky enough to do that. Lauralee Courtoreille Chilliwack

We could have used that crop Editor: I wonder how many people noticed the lack of painkillers in the story of the motorcyclist crash this week and could relate it to the story last week of the destruction of the valuable poppy crop.

We can always trust our government to destroy valuable national resources, it seems. Just like the valuable crops in Afghanistan or wherever that fall into uncaring hands and are getting wasted, while those in need go begging for overpriced supplies. O. Frost Chilliwack

Act upon your conscience Editor: I have read for several weeks now the debate between people supporting and opposing the doctor who would not provide birth control to a patient. The latest of these, to which I would like to respond, was written by an M. Bondesen. To M. Bondesen: I have a good friend, a veteran of a certain branch of the military, I will not say of which country. A few years ago he revealed to me information to which I have had to give much thought. He told me that in a particular war in which he fought, as his occupation, which he chose himself, there happened numerous times when one person in a village would do something they should not have, such as kill one of the soldiers, or plant a bomb, or some other covert activity. In order to stop this kind of behaviour, my friend’s unit was ordered to punish the whole town when one person there acted this way,

killing numerous men, and sometimes women and children without question of the orders, even if they had already found the one person responsible. They did this in any town where even one person acted out, in order to teach the people that they must obey and surrender. Other units he knew of did the same. This friend went on to tell me that, of course, killing these other people went against his moral conscience (and he does not follow any religion), but that he had his orders, so he followed them. He is no longer in any branch of the military, but he is still haunted often by the faces of those who were innocent but whom he killed. He also told me that numerous other veterans he knows are haunted by the same sorts of images. He and many of his fellow soldiers wish that they could or would have somehow disobeyed some of those orders, even if it meant prison time. Now he regrets that he did not act with his conscience, and I agree with him. It makes me ill just to think of this enough to write it down for you. He followed the job description, and will live the rest of his life sick, sometimes to the point that he cannot eat or sleep, with the knowledge of his actions and his conscience. Sometimes people enter a job to do good, but have to draw the line somewhere, according to their conscience. I respect that. Perhaps you could try doing so as well. I applaud the doctor for following her conscience, a brave act which far too people rise to anymore. There are numerous doctors. The woman seeking the birth control has ways to access more than one of them, whether through a regular office or a walk-in type clinic. There is no hint at all of religion in my argument, regardless of what others have written with which you object. E.Wellner Chilliwack

Editor: The new penalties now effective in this province for drinking and driving, as well as excessive speed, are overkill and sure to result in further concerns than the undisputed carnage on B.C. roads. Such concerns that will involve high speed police chases to avoid the huge financial penalties which are ridiculously high and, in turn, result in hardship for families. The courts have been throwing cases out due to a shortage of judges and cases pending into years and there will be a deluge of cases forthcoming as people will be challenging this new law. The very fact that a police officer on a roadside check can act as prosecutor, judge and jury is contrary to our way of life and the public is entitled to due process in a court of law before a judge. Particulary concerning is that a person’s future, family in some cases as well, can be decided on by an inexperienced officer of which we are told there are many due to staff shortages and lower standards in recruiting as many are leaving. A seasoned, mature officer would make a more accurate determination as there are, and will continue to be, responsible people who will have a drink of wine with a restaurant meal, a drink after work with associates and be in control of their faculties. These people include police officers, prosecutors and judges. With the increasing number of police officers being charged with impaired driving, including fatalities and leaving the scene of accidents in some instances in this province, there is no separation and there has to be credible enforcement by law enforcement officers. Some people believe that this is a cash grab as the government requires funds to recover from poor decisions made. That may well be but all agree that the requirement for reducing traffic statistics as it currently stands

News STRAHL, from page 1 aside in order to deal with the disease, which has a grim survival timeline of just 12 to 24 months following detection. That he has not only survived, but gone on to become one of the most powerful men in the country is something of a legend. Family, friends and even political foes can’t help but be impressed with Strahl’s gumption and staggering ability to get on with the business of living. “Some people would have folded up,” said Preston Manning, former Reform Party founder and Strahl’s admitted political hero. “He is not unrealistic about his condition, but he wasn’t going to let it deter him from what he felt he should do.” These days Strahl is reluctant to talk about his illness. Discussions with his communications team before the interview made it clear the subject of his health was a “personal matter” and, therefore, off-limits. That moratorium was later lifted when the newspaper refused to agree to the restrictions. When the question came up, Strahl was characteristically polite. “My health is good, thank you. I have been pretty fortunate that way,” he said. Strahl said regular CT scans of his lungs have left doctors “pleasantly puzzled.” “They don’t understand what has been happening, and why nothing more has been happening,” he said. Now 53, Strahl has repeatedly proven he’s able to keep up with the gruelling 70-hour work weeks and exhausting travel schedule that sends him regu-

Grueling 70-hour work week larly running between the East and the West. Local supporters worried for their minister were pleased to see him looking hale and hearty at the recent unveiling of West Coast Express passenger cars in Langley. He goes home every weekend to Chilliwack, he said, and still runs with Debbie, his wife of 34 years, as often as he can. His response to the disease is no different than that of millions of other Canadians, and dozens of his parliamentary colleagues who’ve been touched by cancer, he said. “You just soldier on. What else are you to do?” Though he’s flying high now, Strahl’s career in Ottawa hasn’t been without its bruises over the years. A hard-core Reformer from the early days, he swept into office with Manning in October 1993. Throughout the 1990s, he endured tough media coverage, poor showings in the polls, and, eventually, Manning’s defeat in 2000 when Stockwell Day took over the newly formed Canadian Alliance. Things got worse in 2001 when Strahl was suspended from the Alliance caucus after forming with other disgruntled party members the Democratic Representative Caucus, a renegade caucus in protest of Day’s leadership. Returned to the Alliance He returned to the party the following year only after Day agreed to hold a leadership race, and was later instrumental in the creation of the new Conservative Party of Canada, under

Stephen Harper. As Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, the portfolio he headed before the move to transport, Strahl has been praised by supporters—including the prime minister—for his sensitive handling of what many politicians view as a potentially career-ending file. But he has also has taken plenty of hits from critics who blame him for the many problems that still plague the nation’s First Nations, Inuit and Metis people. He was savaged by opposition MPs for the government’s recent decision to slash funding to the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, set up to help residential school victims, and for the failure to back up its financing commitments under the BC First Nations Education Act.Three years after the legislation was passed giving aboriginals in B.C. authority over education on their lands, the promised federal money has never been seen, said Jean Crowder, a Nanaimo MP and aboriginal affairs critic for the NDP. “Everyone talks about investment and education and here is a good example of what to do and I was disappointed because he [Strahl] didn’t move on that,” Crowder said. Liberal MP Hedy Fry was less diplomatic in her assessment of Strahl’s performance: “I don’t see anything he did for aboriginal people that in any way, shape or form made a difference.” ◗ To read the second half of this story see Friday’s Chilliwack Times and discover why and how Strahl’s personal and political life has served to inspire many people here in Chilliwack.

Chilliwack Bruins defender Jesse Pauls—who skated as a forward Saturday—is cut down from behind by a Kelowna Rockets defender during the first period of Saturday’s preseason game.

Little offence, less defence

loss is never a good feeling and losing five of six games just compounds the hurt. That said, if you’re going to stink up the place, you might as well do so when the games don’t matter and your head coach isn’t in the building to smell the odour. The Chilliwack Bruins capped an unsatisfying pre-season Saturday by falling 4-1 to the Kelowna Rockets. For the Bruins, the defeat was an improvement on the previous night, when they were demolished 9-1 at home by Kelowna. Bruins head coach Marc Habscheid was suspended for that game after a line brawl the previous weekend against

the Vancouver Giants. Chilliwack finished the pre-season having won just one of six games. The Rockets picked up Saturday where they left off the night prior, as Spencer Main beat starter Lucas Gore just 1:15 into the opening period. Steven Hodges, who has been a training camp and preseason standout, tied the game late in the period on the power play. But that was all the offence the Bruins could muster as the Rockets reclaimed their lead early in the second period and never looked back. Still, Chilliwack fared better than

Kelowna scored just 1:06 into Friday’s game and kept rolling, pouring 17 shots at Gamble in the opening period alone. By the time Tim Traber put the Bruins on the board late in the second period, the Rockets had an eight beside their name on the scoreboard.

Campers return home Three Bruins remain at National Hockey League training camps. Kevin Sundher, who is skating with the Buffalo Sabres, and Roman Horak and Brandon Manning, both of whom are with the New York Rangers, have all made it to their squads’ main camps. The four other Bruins dispatched to big league rookie camps have been trickling back into Chilliwack in recent days. They include Dylen McKinlay (Minnesota Wild) Chris Collins and Tyler Stahl (both Carolina Hurricanes), and Ryan Howse (Calgary Flames). Howse was injured early in camp but Habscheid says he should be ready to play Friday. For Collins, an undrafted invi-

tee, the camp was an opportunity to prove himself against some of the best young hockey players in the world, most of whom were either drafted or had already signed contracts. “It was just a whole new experience that opened my eyes,” he told the Times Monday. “Obviously I want to prove that I’m better than the guys who were drafted,” he said, “but at the same time, I didn’t really have anything to lose.” Final cuts The Bruins reassigned Brett Cote and Jesse Pauls to their respective clubs Monday afternoon. The roster has thus been whittled down to the league maximum of 25 players.

The Strikers, playing their second game of the season, dominated possession and peppered the opposing keeper with 22 shots. The hard work paid off, and in the 37th minute Haley Mainse crossed the ball to Finley, who touched the ball past the Scorpions’ keeper and into the back of the net. The Strikers continued to dominate and, if not for a post and a couple unlucky breaks, could have put several more goals on the board. And after surrendering 18 shots in their first game, the defence was solid, allowing only four scoring chances throughout the game. The Strikers are back in action next Sunday in North Vancouver.

Jock scraps Lunachick Feaver smacks Beavers Andrea Feaver scored four goals as the Chilliwack Lunachicks picked up a win Sunday in Surrey, defeating the SBAA Beavers 6-2. In a torrential downpour, Surrey struck in the first minute to take the lead. But Lunachick Sandi Champ tied the game at the 22-minute mark when she punched in a Janelle Cavanaugh pass. Feaver gave the Lunachicks the lead six minutes into the second half when she finished off a nice passing play from Cavanaugh. When Surrey tied the game shortly after, it only took a minute for Feaver to give Chilliwack the lead for good when she headed in a Kelly Joiner cross. Feaver wasn’t finished, though, and at the 20-minute mark of the second she picked up a loose ball and launched a beautiful 25-yard shot over the keeper to pad the Lunachick lead. Feaver added her fourth goal when she took a breakaway pass from Lisa Westeringh and deked the Surrey keeper. Cavanaugh closed out the scoring late with a blasted shot and Jenny Pagliericci also had a strong game on defence for the Chicks. ◗ Compiled by staff

Chilliwack Huskers defensive back Jason Dumas wraps up a Vancouver Island Raiders receiver Saturday in British Columbia Football Conference action at Exhibition Stadium.

Raiders roll over Huskers BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

t’s never a good sign when the opposing football team doesn’t use their punter. Such was the case Saturday as the Chilliwack Huskers fell 65-7 to the Vancouver Island Raiders, a team that has won the Canadian Junior Football League championship three of the last four years. The Raiders—who have also been accused of buying those championships because of the money their owner has invested into the team— rolled easily over the Huskers Saturday at Exhibition Stadium. The Raiders put together 730 yards of net offence, including 480 yards through the air against the normally solid Huskers secondary which, nevertheless, managed to intercept three passes.

Vancouver Chilliwack

65 7

Vancouver Island scored on their first three possessions before Jason Dumas picked off a Raiders toss and ran the ball back to within five yards of the end zone. After going nowhere on their first two plays, the Huskers—desperately seeking to gain some momentum—elected to go for the end zone on third down. The gamble failed and by the end of the first half the score was a dispiriting 42-0. Chilliwack was unable to muster any success through the air, completing just five passes. Their only points came courtesy of running back Misha Otanga who, playing in his first game as a Husker, rumbled for 87 yards and a touchdown.

Local photographer Kirtus DeFehr snapped this amazing shot as the sun set on Harrison Lake. Kirtus used an f/22 aperture setting with a one-fifth second shutter speed (hand held) at ISO speed 100 using a Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L Iens at 16mm. His camera is a Canon 1DsMkIII. Kirtus also used a flash left at 1/16 power to light up the rock in the foreground to give the photo depth and a focal point.

UFV library tech grads reunite

30 years since first course delivered mation sources have shifted formats numerous times. The shift from manual typewriters, carbon copies, print indexes, and microform to web-based databases, scanners, and an endless stream of user applications has kept the program in a perpetual state of evolution.” All of those who have been involved in the delivery of this program have been profoundly affected by the students, the institution, their colleagues and their predecessors, Neigel notes. “It’s been a challenge but it has been a really, really rewarding experience.” “Teaching here at UFV, despite all the work involved, nothing could be better for me,” her colleague Jan Lashbrook Green says. “The years teaching at UFV, were the most fun teaching years of my life. The students were fun, engaging, involved. It was a great experience,” former instructor Tim Atkinson recalls. “To this day we’re still reaping the legacy that [the late] founding faculty member Pat Sifton set. She set up a really strong foundation and high standards for the faculty, the program and the students,” says former instructor Kim Isaac, now director of the UFV library. Deb Ireland, who earned her diploma in 2003, is now super visor of the Hope branch of the Fraser Valley Regional Library. She’s coming to the reunion to catch up with others but is particularly intrigued by guest speaker MacDonald, a children’s librarian and author of more than 55 books on folklore and storytelling. Ireland enjoyed the education she received in the library and info tech program. Working in a smaller branch of the regional library, she does “a little of everything” in Hope. “It was a great program,” she recalls. “The courses I took that focused on children’s literature, youth services, and reference work had a lot of direct bearing on the work I do today.” If you’re a library and info tech alumni and want to find out more about the reunion, e-mail UFV at alumni@ufv.

The reunion is presented in partnership by the UFV Alumni Association and the UFV Library and Information Technology department.

ave you ever asked a question, had a book checked out, or otherwise encountered a smiling face at your local library? Well, the person you encountered was very likely a library technician, and chances are they are a graduate of the library and information technology program at the University of the Fraser Valley. Library technicians are paraprofessionals who work alongside librarians in a variety of settings, such as community and academic libraries, specialized libraries at hospitals, newspapers, and other large organizations. These multi-skilled individuals can also be found in information support and record-keeping roles in archives and corporations. UFV has been training and educating library and information technicians since 1980. To celebrate this milestone the university is holding a reunion for the program from Oct. 1 to 3 at the UFV Abbotsford campus. All library and info tech graduates and current students are invited to attend. The itinerary of events includes a wine and cheese reception, a geocaching activity, guest speaker and renowned folklorist Margaret Read MacDonald, a gala banquet dinner with improv comedy, and a farewell breakfast with UFV president Mark Evered. Current and former faculty and staff, and alumni from all decades of the program, will be on hand to mix and mingle for the weekend. They’ll reminisce about how much information technology has changed over the past three decades and perhaps even recall when library information was kept in paper-based card catalogues. Current program head Christina Neigel mused in her blog recently about the changes in information technology over the years. “Although the program has maintained its focus on the process of building knowledge, the challenge to maintain a program that is consistent with technological change remains constant.

Horsing around for charity BY CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

rock is a dusty old bay who’s well past his prime, but the 35-yearold standardbred horse is lovingly cared for on a piece of heavenly prairie in Abbotsford. He’s a permanent resident at Circle F Horse Rescue, a farm run by a non-profit group that takes in unwanted horses and finds new homes for them. Brock is also the ambassador who greets new horses and volunteers and makes them feel at ease. “This is his forever place. He’s still hanging in there,” said Walter Paetkau, who offered a tour of the equine shelter on Friday. Brock currently shares the shelter with four other equines: Jimmy and Moonlight Paris, both ex-racers, and Dancer and Jessie, whose former owners couldn’t keep them anymore. They pass their days idyllically, chewing hay, getting brushed and exercised in the paddock or on a nearby trail. Brock (who has his own page on the Circle F website) has seen dozens of horses come and go over the years. Last year the shelter found homes for 13 horses, and helped another 26 find new homes through its website network. While the shelter is run by volunteers, the operation requires close to $50,000 a year to run, about half

Since 1954, Canadian firefighters helped Muscular Dystrophy Canada fight the battle against muscular dystrophy—a group of more than 100 types of neuromuscular disorders characterized by

the wasting and progressive weakness of muscles. Over time, many people with neuromuscular disorders are unable to walk, speak, or ultimately breathe. Some diseases are life-threatening and currently, there is no cure. The money raised by Chilliwack River Valley firefighters will be donated to improve the quality of life for people living with

neuromuscular disorders by purchasing mobility equipment, providing support services, and funding research, which will one day lead to a cure. Amanda De Vries, revenue development co-ordinator – with B.C. and Yukon firefighters, said, “B.C. firefighters give so much to their communities every day fighting fires and responding to medi-

cal emergencies, but what is truly inspiring is their incredible dedication to help people affected by neuromuscular disorders.” Last year, firefighters in B.C. and Yukon raised more than $628,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. It takes a firefighter 56 muscles to put on a boot, it takes you to help fill it. By dropping your extra change into the boot, you are making muscles move in your community.
