The woman had been one of four people in a car that had broken down on the eastbound side of the highway near Annis Road early in the morning. The vehicle had stopped on the right-side shoulder, but the woman had walked into the left lane of the highway when she was hit by an SUV. The woman “appears to have died on impact,” said Insp. Rob DeBoersap. The driver of the SUV EB IRST was on his way to work when he First reported on hit the woman. chilliwacktimes.com Alcohol was not a factor. The three other people in the car were standing on the shoulder of the road when the crash took place. Police still don’t know why the woman ended up on the highway. “I don’t know why she was out there,” said DeBoersap. The Upper Fraser Valley First Nations policing unit and victim services are assisting the woman’s family. Highway 1 eastbound was closed for several hours Saturday morning while police investigated the scene.

petition and present Strahl with a list of six demands, including an end to lump-sum settlements for soldiers injured in the line of duty and the restoration of a lifetime monthly disability pension. Strahl, however, was a no-show. Instead, he was at a Langley golf

A question of force BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

fidgeted with my pepper spray as the cop in the Darth Vader mask advanced towards me, his right arm cocking an empty vodka bottle with which he promised to “cave my head in.” After an eternity, I was able to grab the spray and mace the menacing Mountie—who, I should make clear, was actually only pretending to be a wife-beater. The confrontation was part of a useof-force scenario at the Pacific Region Training Centre (PRTC). Last week, the PRTC welcomed local media to give reporters a sample of the complicated decisions police officers must make when confronted by aggressive men and women. Pepper spray, for instance, was probably not the best option for a Mountie hoping to disarm an angry and violent man in his own home. When wielded like a weapon, a bottle can do serious harm to a Mountie, Cpl. Steve Hiscoe told me, as he reset the scenario. Again I went to the door and again the guy came at me with a bottle. This

Times reporter Tyler Olsen gets a chance to see what it’s like to be an RCMP officer in a tense situation time, I reached for my gun—a handgun filled with small paintballs. “Stop and put down the bottle,” I said. The guy took a step forward. I took a step back—putting distance between myself and the guy—and repeated my demand. This went on for 11 or 12 steps until I bumped against an obstacle, told the guy I would have to shoot him, and then did so. He fell to the ground like a kid in a high school acting class. Hiscoe wasn’t impressed with my slow retreat. “Who had control?” he asked me. “Did you ever have control in that situation?” I felt I had a little, but Hiscoe disagreed. And he pointed out that I completely ignored one tool in my arsenal—my voice. I hadn’t once screamed at the guy, which may have made the man realize just how serious I was. And if

that still wasn’t effective, I should have shot him earlier. It’s a fair point and the scenario illustrated just how hard it can be to actually shoot someone, even when your life is being threatened. I suspect that I would have had to shoot the guy whether I bellowed or not—the scenario, after all, was an undisguised attempt to get media types like me to think twice before criticizing officers when their actions maim or kill. Four reporters took part in the scenario training. Three ended up shooting the wife-beater. But that doesn’t diminish its message. Hiscoe says that media coverage of the police is affecting how officers approach situations. Rather than always looking out for themselves, he says some officers have become scared to take proper action because they fear appearing on the front page of the next day’s paper. “We’re there to do a job to protect

the public and protect ourselves and if we can’t do those things, we’re putting ourselves in harms way,” said Hiscoe. The Mounties hope sessions like last Wednesday’s will give reporters a window into the mind of a threatened police officer. But they’re also trying to give officers the ability to coherently explain exactly how and why they used force. “Upwards of 95 per cent of police officers use the appropriate amount of force to deal with the situation,” said Briscoe. The problem, he said, is that “officers can’t articulate, they can’t tell the story of the situation they were involved in.” The scenario also demonstrated that there is an area between a gun and pepper spray or a baton where a Taser becomes a potentially lifesaving device. The hesitancy I felt in reaching for my gun would have been gone if I had a Taser available. And the guy with the bottle would probably still be alive.

eal estate agents in Chilliwack and across B.C. are uttering words like “balance,” “stable,” and “normal” in relation to October’s sales numbers. The Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) reported that post-HST jitters appear to be calming down and that there has been a cautious return to the market by buyers. The FraserValley Real Estate Board said the market“moved towards balance in October” based on stabilizing prices, increased sales and decreasing inventory. But the boom isn’t exactly back. In October there were 165 residential sales in Chilliwack and district, the highest number since June’s 224 but still 24 per cent below the 216 sales for October 2009. There were 137 home sales in September, the highest number of sales since June’s 224 Of last month’s sales, 106 were single family homes, 45 townhouses and 10 apartments. The number of active listings sat at 1,555 last month, the lowest it has been since March. CADREB reported the sea-

sonally adjusted sales for October helped breath “life back into a housing sales slump.” “The rise is part of a trend being seen throughout the province,” said CADREB president Kyle Hislop in a press release. “Even coming off of an economic downturn and the lack of understanding of how the HST affects home purchases (not at all in the case of new homes under $350,000), the prime driver of home sales is a good interest rate, and mortgage rates continue to be attractively low.” Local realtor Stephen Mullock writes a blog about real estate and analyzes the monthly CADREB numbers compared to a 10-year average. Of the 106 single family home sales, Mullock reports the only years in the last decade with fewer sales were 2000 and 2008. The average price of a single family home sold last month was $350,000, up from $314,000 in September and comparable to the $348,000 for October 2009. The average price of a strata home in Chilliwack was $214,000 last month, virtually unchanged from $213,000 in September and up slightly from $207,000 for October 2009.

29 per cent of our tax bill goes to policing Soaring cost addressed in letter to federal gov’t

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack is sick and tired of the exorbitant and unsustainable cost of policing and the city doesn’t want to take it anymore. At the last meeting, city council directed Mayor Sharon Gaetz to draft a letter to federal and provincial representatives on the topic of “the rapidly increasing cost of RCMP police services and the affordability of these services in the future . . . and the accountability of the RCMP to local governments for the delivery of police services at the local level.” Of residents’ municipal tax bills,

29 per cent goes to pay for policing costs and it’s even worse in other communities. “[Surrey Mayor] Diane Watts has more RCMP officers than Saskatchewan and P.E.I. combined,” Gaetz told the Times. “That costs her close to half of her budget—47 per cent.” Municipalities with populations over 5,000 pay 90 per cent of the cost of policing, even when it comes to integrated teams—such as the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team—that do not necessarily provide services to some communities

very often. At the October Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention, members endorsed a resolution to send letters to local MPs, federal Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews and federal Treasury Board president Stockwell Day. Current contracts that define roles, responsibilities and levels of government funding are set to expire March 31, 2012. Policing costs are rising because of more complicated crimes and higher standards required by the courts, but the other issue is

RCMP accountability to those that pay the bills. As provincial governments, Saskatchewan and P.E.I., for example, have a say in negotiations regarding RCMP contracts even though they have less officers than Surrey, which has no voice. “We just want to make sure our voice is heard,” Gaetz said. “We have a really great working relationship with our RCMP; other communities struggle with having their voices heard.” Eight cents of every tax dollar paid is municipal while other levels get 92 per cent, yet cities pay the

vast majority of policing costs— something that doesn’t make sense to Gaetz. “There is a lot of angst from some of the [UBCM] members in particular feeling that we can’t afford it anymore,” she said. “And any time we put up taxes to pay for it we then get some sort of Canadian Taxpayers Federation or Canadian Federation of Independent Business response; we get walloped by them saying our costs are out of control.” As for the suggestion that a B.C. police force should be formed or Chilliwack adopt a municipal force, Gaetz said she has never seen a business case that found those options would be less expensive.

ut with the old and in with the new. Just four days after the official announcement of the closure of Chilliwack’s iconic downtown Paramount Theatre, Chilliwack’s new Cineplex cinema announced opening night is Nov. 19. The new $7.5-million, eight-screen, 31,000square-foot Galaxy Cinemas Chilliwack will be the first business open at the Eagle Landing retail park on the Squiala band’s reserve. During the seven-month construction process 125 jobs were created and the t h e a t re w i l l e m p l oy 7 5 permanent and part-time staff. Management received 800 job applications f o r t h o s e 7 5 p o s i t i o n s, according to Pat Marshall, Cineplex vice-president, communications and investor relations. “We could not believe the 800 job applications we received,” she told the Times Monday. “That was a new record for us by far.” First up for fans of hightech movie-going is Harry Potter and The D eathly Hallows Part 1 on Friday,

Nov. 1 9 , w h i c h w i l l b e playing on more than one of the eight screens. Marshall said other films will be screened on opening night, but no titles were released. GalaxyCinemasChilliwack is the first cinema in British Columbia to offer UltraAVX in one of the eight theatres. The UltraAVX includes a larger screen than most traditional screens, Dolby digital surround sound and extra-wide high back rocker seats where each seat row is approximately 18 inches higher than the one in front. Four auditoriums, including UltraAVX, are equipped with RealD 3-D technology. Seats in the UltraAVX theatre are $3 extra. Marshall said there is n o t h i n g e l s e i n Br i t i s h Columbia that compares to the new movie house. “Chilliwack is truly getting a state-of-the-art facility unlike anything else,” she said. The opening of Galaxy comes as the 150,000square-foot Walmart right next door is still under construction. There is also an 85,000-square-foot Home Depot that will serve as the main anchor tenant for the north side of the development.

Unemployment figure looking better this year BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack’s jobless rate dropped to its lowest point in a year last month at 8.4 per cent, according to the monthly Statistic Canada labour force survey. October’s rate is down from 9.2 per cent in September, 9.7 per cent in August and a 2010 high of 11.1 per cent in April. The unemployment rate for October 2009 was 8.8 per cent. The lower month-to-month rate is actually due to a 600-person decline in those looking for work as there was a loss of 200 jobs from 40,500 in September to 40,300 last month. Despite that, there has been a considerable number of jobs created over the last year in Chilliwack.

The labour force has increased from 35,300 in October 2009 to 44,000 last month, and the number of employed has increased more than 25 per cent from 32,200 to 40,300 over the year. British Columbia’s unemployment rate was 7.4 per cent in October and has hovered around that rate for seven months. Canada’s jobless rate also remained virtually unchanged at 7.9 per cent last month as full-time job gains offset part-time losses. Abbotsford’s unemployment rate last month was identical to Chilliwack’s at 8.4 per cent, but that was a move in the opposite direction. Abbotsford’s rate increased from September’s 7.2 per cent. Employment in Canada reached a high in the fall of 2008 then declined steeply over a period of nine months, according to Statistics Canada.

We Can’t Sell You L-Carnitine

News

Victim unable to ID man I who threatened her with shotgun, court hears BY JENNIFER SALTMAN The Province

lthough the accused was sitting across from her in a Chilliwack courtroom in July 2008, Laura Atkinson said she could not identify Robert Grattan as the man who threatened her with a shotgun during a home invasion the previous year. As recorded testimony from that July 2008 preliminary hearing was played in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on Friday, jurors heard Atkinson say she did not recognize Grattan. Atkinson died in August 2009, and the recording was used in place of her testimony. On trial are Nicole Amanda Birch and Grattan, facing charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder and two counts of robbery using a firearm arising from a home invasion in Atkinson’s Harrison Hot Springs basement suite on Nov. 23, 2007. Birch faces three additional charges of

assault with a weapon. During the home invasion, one man was shot twice with the shotgun and another man, Scott Daniel Lee, was shot in the back and died from his injuries. A woman bound three people with tape and Tasered them. Grattan’s lawyer, Simon Buck, asked Atkinson a number of questions about the armed man who entered her suite. Atkinson said she had two brief opportunities to see the man’s face before she was ordered to get face-down on the floor. She described him as Caucasian, in his early 20s, five-foot-seven to five-foot-nine and with a slight build. Mostly, she saw the man’s feet and legs from the knees down and listened to him speak. She said there was nothing remarkable about the man’s voice, but she insisted she’d “recognize it for sure” if she heard it again. Buck said that Atkinson had seen Grattan in court that day. “Yeah, but I don’t recognize him,” she said. The trial continues.

tal muscles, and it also helps to keep your blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in check.

t’s true. Here in Canada, we are not allowed to sell L-Carnitine. We think it’s a bit crazy that a natural health product you may have been taking for years suddenly isn’t available anymore, or even worse, you can only get it if you order it from another country - but that’s just the way it is. We don’t always understand it, but those are the rules.

L-Carnitine is a perfect example... although millions of people take it everyday, L-carnitine is a not available for sale in Canada, for a myriad of mostly political reasons.

L-Carnitine is also very helpful for people suffering from angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, and elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In several large clinical trials, this nutrient has shown to have favourable effects helping patients recover more quickly from heart attacks. In other studies, L-carnitine has shown dramatic improvement in cardiac output - the heart’s ability to pump blood, improved peripheral circulation and helping with blood pressure concerns.

What does it do? L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in fat metabolism. It functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria - the metabolic furnace of our cells. This is a major source of energy for the muscles, including the heart. And L-carnitine increases the use of fat as an energy source. This is ideal if you trying to lose weight.

Here’s a great idea! PreCar from AOR, is known as an L-carnitine precursor. That means that PreCar helps your body safely and naturally increase production of L-carnitine. In a nutshell, you get all of the health benefits of L-carnitine without ever having to buy it. Just get PreCar instead! It’s safe and effective.

As a result, L-Carnitine plays an important role in preventing fatty buildup, especially in the heart, liver, and skele-

Making friends of old enemies

he year was 1976. I was nine years old, and my enemy was Lynn Bird. I don’t have a lot of childhood memories (I blame the concussions) but I do remember crossing out her face on my Grade 4 class photo with a ballpoint pen. Don’t ask me why. I’m guessing she thwarted me socially in some way. Most of us have had an enemy at one time or another, be it a bully, a back-stabbing co-worker or a vengeful ex, but very few of us in this day and age have ever faced an official enemy—like the Germans or the Japanese—people we are expected to fight even though we know almost nothing about them. It’s been 65 years since the end of the Second World War. Of the more than 1 million Canadians who served in that conflict, only about 143,700 are alive today to remember what it was like to have an enemy who was trying to kill them and who they were trying to kill in turn. At Remembrance Day we honour these WW2 veterans for their courage in fighting that enemy, but we hear little about what veterans have learned about the people they once shot at and who once shot at them since the war. For many of them it has fundamentally changed their view of the war they fought in and of war itself. And we need to hear about that. Fred Allan, a retired artillery cap-

CORNELIA NAYLOR

Hard Core tain I recently interviewed, knew almost nothing about Germany or its history before he landed in Normandy to take on the Germans for king and country. To him they were war mongers, and when he saw how the city of Hamburg had been leveled by Allied bombs, he thought, “I guess we showed the bastards.” After studying European history and spending some time in Germany after the war, however, Allan’s view of the war and of his enemy changed. There have been countless stories since 1945 of one-time enemies getting together as friends, like bomber pilots becoming pen pals with the fighter pilots who shot them down. “We’re mates,” said one former pilot in an account I read recently. “It’s silly; 60-odd years ago we were trying to kill each other.” My dad, a German, had his own story about looking up into the night sky in Germany during the war and seeing the lights of a small Allied scout plane leading a sky full of bombers to a city nearby.

Years later, after immigrating to Canada, he met the pilot flying that little plane. [Insert German accent here] “You son of a bitch, you’re the one who led them all in,” he said. There were laughs all around and a kind of camaraderie. He wasn’t my favourite MASH character, but there’s one quote by Colonel Potter that I’ve always liked: “Sometimes I think it should be a rule of war that you have to see somebody up close and get to know him before you can shoot him,” he said. No WW2 veteran I’ve ever met got the chance to get to know his enemy before shooting at him on some beach in Normandy or some island in the Pacific. But what a difference it would have made if all the education and experiences they’ve had in the 65 years since the war could have been theirs before they picked up a gun. There is a growing sense of urgency in Canada to honour of our shrinking population ofWW2 veterans for their contributions during the six years between 1939 and 1945. Maybe, though, the most important lesson we need to learn from ourWW2 veterans before they disappear, is not about the horrors of war but what they’ve learned in the 65 years since—the possibility of making friends out of enemies.

o matter how supportive or critical anyone is of government policy when it comes to war, we need to stand behind the men and women that serve this country with pride and honour. No conflict since the Second World War has had such universally broad support. Since then men and women in uniform have fought in wars and contributed to military service in many other campaigns—some against more ambiguous enemies, sometimes for less obvious reasons. But no matter the reason, our political leaders ask those in the service to go to war and they do. So when those soldiers and support crews come home to Canada, they deserve, need and should get all our support to make sure their post-military lives are as positive and normal as possible. In that regard, our federal government has failed them miserably. In two days, we will all stand and remember those who died for our country, but that doesn’t mean we can forget about those who served and survived. On Saturday, hundreds of military men and women and supporters marched to Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl’s office to hand him a petition in protest against a number of government policies that affect veterans including lump-sum payments and lifetime pensions. They hoped to get a response from the busy new Minister of Transportation. Strahl wasn’t there because he was at a Langley golf course for a political fundraiser. Just days before November 11, military veterans that live in Strahl’s riding stood on his doorstep asking for help and he was off singing with his friends. Strahl said Monday that his government has “obviously” been listening to veterans and their concerns. An odd response when hundreds of veterans said something different loud and clearly to Strahl on Saturday. Obviously he isn’t listening.

Would Strahl choose a lump sum payment? Editor: Well Mr. Strahl, you’ve once again displayed your true personal attitude toward Canada’s veterans, Canadian Forces and the RCMP. Thank you for being so honest! I understand that you were approached in September regarding the National Veterans Week march held today and were asked to attend, you choose not to respond. Today you chose not to show your face. You’ve displayed the same contempt today as you did years ago when the public service was handed a fiveyear wage freeze by your government. I approached you at a public meeting and you insultingly “burned me off” with scorn. You haven’t changed, you’re still a puppet of your “grand and glorious” master, the prime minister. Your time is coming. You both live in, and supposedly represent, an area in the Fraser Valley rife with retired military, public service, RCMP et al. and your lack of interest and absence at this occasion will not soon be forgotten. Ah well, you’ll have your hundred-thousand-plus pension to fall back on. Interested in a $180,000, one-time-only, lump sum payment, instead? I didn’t think so. I congratulate the veterans, RCMP members, and the number of civilians who attended and took part in the parade. Thanks too to the vehicle operators who showed no annoyance at being delayed by the large parade and especially those who showed their support by tooting their horns enthusiastically, Chilliwack, you’re great folks! Too bad that our elected member of Parliament didn’t have the same feelings of support but then, I understand he was very busy . . . playing golf. James T. Sturt-Smith Chilliwack

Chuck Strahl did not attend nor communicated with the several hundred rally participants demanding that Ottawa, among other things, stop acting like an insurance company with regards to military veterans and populate the Veterans Affairs board with members that intimately know veterans affairs. Chuck Strahl can’t be very proud of the accomplishments of his party on this file. Otherwise, he would not have ignored the request, addressed the gathering and extolled the virtues of what his party has really accomplished on this file. Billions for jets, pennies for vets. Lest We Forget. Jacques Gratton Chilliwack

Vets betrayed by local MP Editor: Chilliwack veterans marched en masse to Chuck Strahl’s office on Saturday only to be told that he had ignored the request to address the rally. Steven Harper’s Conservative government continually oversimplifies issues when he claims: “We support the troops.” Harper’s tight ship concept of free speech is nonexistent because members of Parliament are muzzled by the prime minister. The plain truth is that Chuck Strahl was not available because the prime minister would not allow it Cliff Downey Veteran

Best of care at local hospital Editor: I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent care my husband received during his recent four-day stay at the Chilliwack Hospital. Firstly, the ambulance attendants were absolutely awesome. Helpful, informative and polite. While I was waiting for my husband to be admitted, the staff at the reception area were ever so helpful and pleasant. The idea of having a hostess/host at the entrance is a wonderful idea. The first day I visited my husband after he was transferred to a room on the third floor, the hostess accompanied me all the way up to his room. What great service. The nurses and doctors in the emergency ward were pleasant, efficient and friendly, as were the nurses on the ward. Keep up the good work. Linda Sutton Chilliwack

Justice indeed was not served Editor: Usually story headlines are exaggerated, distorted, or misrepresentative. This is not, however, the case in Friday’s Chilliwack Times headline, “Justice Hasn’t Been Served.” My skin crawled at reading the sentencing. It crawled further still at the defence lawyer’s comment that going to a federal institution would be disasterous for his client and should be served in a provincial facility

away from hardened criminals. I guess that’s because murderers are no longer viewed as hardened criminals rather as just thuggish behaviour (as per the judge’s comment). It appears our justice system has as much contempt for the value of human life as the criminals give it. Public concern and opinion on sentencing issues appear irrelevant. It makes you wonder who’s in charge anyway. The justice system is supposed to keep society safe and to balance the scales. It is no longer serving its purpose. I would not be able to look Cody Gottschalk’s mother in the eye after that sentencing. A grave injustice has been done to the victims and to the families of the victims. It is shameful. Canada’s justice system is failing Canadians and it is time for change. If ever there was a place for referendums, lawmaking and law changes should be it. It is also time to elect judges otherwise our voices will not be heard. Michelle de Vries Chilliwack

Everyone profits from grow-ops Editor: Every time I read these stories of the war on growops, I have to have a good chuckle to myself. The powers that be constantly point the finger at gangsters being the only ones to profit from the lucrative marijuana growing industry. I see the city of Chilliwack profited well the last few years. The RCMP recieved more money federally for extra enforcement. The country of Canada had more American dollars off the books circulating around, and the private business sector benefitting in two big ways that immediately come to mind: the first being large cash purchases of merchandise, and the second, the growing number of unmovitated populace (caused by drug use) to fill the ever growing minimum wage job market. So logic would tell me that this war on the marijuana grow industry is really just for show, and the surface

of it will always just be scratched and go no further. Anyone who knows anything about simple horticulture would know that the introduction of cannabis male spores into our community would render all marijuana growing here worthless, but it’s too big a business from local to federal levels. Just wait until California legalizes and see how fast the government moves to make up the lost revenue . J. Brown Chilliwack

Campbell did a great job Editor: Much has been said lately about Premier Gordon Campbell, and he is certainly a controversial figure. I think if anyone could go back in history most premiers, prime ministers of the day were always controversial. Even in the days after Gordon Campbell leaves provincial politics there will still be much talk about his near decade as premier. In the long run history may prove to be more favourable to him than his current opinion polls. In 2001, he swept into office with a massive supermajority, the kind that may never be seen ever again in Canadian politics. He had a vision to make British Columbia a prosperous province where businesses could come to invest, where there would be many jobs to encourage people to move here, and low taxes so people could have more money in their pockets to spend as they wish. Today most of those ideas seem logical, but initially it was not so easy. The NDP has ruled during their decade of dismal in the ’90s putting in contradictory legislation that discouraged big business, small business, retirees, and young families. This meant Campbell had his work cut out for him in tirelessly getting rid of the massive, bureaucratic red tape that had this province hanging for dear life by it’s neck. Gordon Campbell successfully got rid of much of the red tape. His next task was to open the province

up for business. People returned from Alberta, who had sought shelter there during the NDP years. Big businesses came back to employ many people, small businesses became the backbone of the provincial economy representing about 60 per cent of business and job growth. Arguably the biggest legacy of this great premier will be his pious pursuit of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Gordon Campbell made it possible for not only our province, but also our country to claim these winter games. Sheldon Starrett Chilliwack

Everett Silvertips goalie Kent Simpson watches the puck fly into the back of the net during action Friday at Prospera Centre. The Bruins were edged 4-3 her and Brandon Manning—just 13 seconds apart—drew the Bruins closer, but Kelowna scored twice in the second period and three more times in the third to finish with nine goals on just 28 shots. Habscheid was clearly not impressed with his team’s effort. “It’s not too much to expect them to work two hours,” he said. Since arriving, Habscheid has emphasized the importance of effort on both sides of the puck. He told the Times on Monday that “if that’s not going to be a staple, that needs to be addressed.” New Bruins get in on action The two newest Chilliwack Bruins each made a mark on the score sheet Saturday night.

After playing parts of three years in the Western Hockey League without finding the twine, T.C. Cratsenberg scored with five minutes left in the third period for his first WHL goal. Meanwhile, Curt Gogol, playing his second game for the Bruins after being acquired last week from the Saskatoon Blades, instigated a fight with Mitchell Callahan midway through the second period while Tim Traber and Kevin Smith scrapped. Gogol got a fighting major, an instigator minor, and a game misconduct for his efforts. With Ryan Howse also serving two minutes for cross checking, the Rockets scored on the ensuing five-onthree power play.

hings were going so well for the Chilliwack Bruins heading into this weekend. The stars were scoring, as were the grinders and the rookies. The power play was deadly, the penalty killing was competent and Lucas Gore and Braden Gamble were providing solid goaltending. With a 9-5 record, the Bruins were riding high. Perhaps too high. The Bruins fell 4-3 to the Everett Silvertips in a close game Friday night at Prospera Centre before being thoroughly destroyed the following evening in Kelowna. The last-place Rockets scored early and often en route to a 9-3 victory over a Chilliwack squad that was uncharacteristically outworked. “Our goalies didn’t have a great night but neither did the rest of our team,” said Coach Marc Habscheid. He added, ominously and without elaboration: “There are some things that need to be addressed.” Kelowna chased Gore from the net with four goals in the opening period.

Funk up for award

MOTORCROSS WHOOPS!

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

Bryce Adams, of Powell River, navigates a set of “whoops” during practice for round two of the Canadian Arenacross Championship at Heritage Park Saturday. Rounds three and four go Friday and Saturday at Heritage Park.

hilliwack Huskers receiver Teague Funk will receive a top junior football award later this week in Saskatchewan. Funk has been named the 2010 recipient of the Canadian Junior Fo o t b a l l L e a g u e’s Pa s t Co m missioners Community Service Award. The award is given annually to an outstanding young man playing football for a CJFL team as well as contributing to his community. CJFL Past Commissioner Ron Osterkampf will present Funk with the award at a year-end banquet Friday in Saskatoon. In 2005, at the age of 17, Funk suffered two heart attacks, just a week apart. He was able to make a stunning recovery, however, and his determination and hard work thrust him into a leadership position with the Huskers this season. In his final season of junior football Funk helped the young Huskers receiving corps with not only

their fundamentals, but also their mental preparation. Off the field, Funk also proved deserving of the award. He has worked at the Abbotsford Youth Commission since September 2009, supervises drop-in basketball and floor hockey, and facilitates the Guys Alive program, which is designed to build self esteem, and anti-bullying for boys in grade seven. Funk also gives back to Abbotsford high school football. He is the offensive co-ordinator and head junior coach at Abbotsford Collegiate and the head coach for each spring and summer training camp. He has also been called the most dedicated coach at Abbotsford Collegiate for the past five years. Currently enrolled in the kinesiology program at the University of the Fraser Valley, Funk has plans to continue his education to become a physical education and special needs teacher.

hilliwack’s A.J. Towing was honoured with an Aboriginal Business Award by the provincial government last week. The recipients of the second annual British Columbia Aboriginal Business Awards were announced last Friday by Premier Gordon Campbell and Keith Mitchell, chair of the B.C. Achievement Foundation. The recipients will be honoured at a gala celebration on Dec. 1 in Vancouver. A.J. Towing was honoured for “outstanding business achievement” in the Business of the Year in the two-to-10person enterprise category. “We are so excited about this award,” said Mary-Ann Jones-Siebert who, along with her son Douglas Siebert, is a director of the company. “Our goals for the company have always been to offer Chilliwack old-fashioned friendly service, clean trucks and fast service. We looked at what services Chilliwack needs or was lacking. We have tried to fill in the gaps.

We are currently looking at towing from drinking establishments.” TheB.C.AboriginalBusiness Awards were launched in October 2008 to honour and celebrate business excellence. Seven award recipients, one from each category, were selected in the 2010 awards. In addition, a further group of 11 Aboriginal businesses were noted for their outstanding achievement. An independent jury panel evaluated the submissions based on the viability, sustainability and competitiveness of the business. “This year’s Aboriginal Business Award recipients r e p r e s e n t t h e g r ow i n g number of outstanding Aboriginal business leaders in British Columbia,” said Barry Penner, minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation in the press release. “These role models will encourage t h e n e x t g e n e ra t i o n o f Aboriginal people to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to life.”

According to the Press Association, Bennetts’s wife looked for her husband at lunch time on the day he died, but walked back to the couple’s campsite without finding him. She later saw a helicopter land in a parking lot, but “thought it was an excercise.” The helicopter, in fact, was there for her husband.

Make your gift-giving count St. Paul’s shopping fair aims to bring joy to Nicaraguan village

n Saturday, Nov. 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. the Christmas Shopping Fair, hosted by St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, will give people the opportunity to purchase a Christmas present for someone they care for. That gift will give the presence of love and care from a Christian family in Chilliwack to a Christian family in need in La Joya, Nicaragua. “Presents for Nicaragua” is a mission outreach Christmas sale that has been in the works since May of 2010 and the six months of work will come together on this one special day. La Joya, Nicaragua, is a village St. Paul’s has been to twice before, and the mission teams that volunteered their time and talents there came back to Chilliwack motivated to extend their church family to include the Nicaraguan people. There is an obvious need to enable, empower and teach these hard-working people. There are definitely parallels to where we live by geographical location. La Joya is one village of three, with a main highway separating them, very similar in layout to Chilliwack, Sardis and Rosedale. In the village of La Joya, St. Paul’s assisted with constructing a building that doubles as a church and a school. In the neighbouring village, there is a feeding centre built and supplied by other Lutheran missionaries from the United States. The national representatives from Canadian Lutheran World Relief have been there for years, before, during and after tragedy struck the area when a volcano erupted and destroyed the surrounding villages. The people from La Joya travel to the feeding centre, and the other two villages travel to the school and church build-

ing. It would be like all of Chilliwack and Sardis travelling to Rosedale to a feeding centre, and then all of Rosedale and Chilliwack travelling to Sardis for school and church. Any and all resources are effectively maximized. What was initially thought to be serious malnutrition has been corrected by water filtration systems installed by another team of missionaries. And now the need of community resources for the three villages requires St. Paul’s to step up and honour their commitment to their extended Christian family. Their commitment as lead congregation is to raise $10,000 for purchasing the adjoining property to the school/church and the purchase of building supplies and the construction of the community resource centre. “After prayerful consideration of how we could honour our commitment as His servants, the concept of putting His presence in La Joya paralleled with the idea of giving presents here,” said event co-ordinator Audrey Kuhn. “All the Christmas gifts you purchase also provide a gift to those in need in the three villages in Nicaragua. We have divided

half of our fellowship hall, dedicated to the sale of gifts that are donated by members and sponsors with 100 per cent of proceeds going directly to the mission. The other half of the hall is for home-based and storefront retailers that have committed to donating 10 per cent of what they sell to support the mission endeavour. “We also are providing gift wrapping by donation, finishing any present purchases with the full circle effect that the event represents.” There is also one special item up for silent auction at the shopping fair. An original photograph, autographed by Kaillie Humphries, a 2010 Winter Olympic gold medal winner in the bobsled, will be auctioned off. Humphries is the great niece of two St. Paul’s longstanding members, Emil and Adele Kuhn of Agassiz. Humphries’s family sent an 8-by-10 photo, matted and framed to 14-by17, of Kaillie and teammate Heather Moyse on the podium. “This event is definitely a step out in faith, as it is being organized and co-ordinated without a budget,” said Kuhn. “Everything is fully supported by donation so there are no costs or expenses taking away a single penny from the fundraising.”

◗ If you are interested in supporting the event or have any questions about the Nicaragua mission trip, contact Pastor Wayne Lunderby of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church at 8871 School St., by phone at 604-792-9577 or email at info@chilliwacklutheran.com. Any questions about the event can be directed to Audrey Kuhn at 604-7983836 or e-mail kuhnswife@live.ca. “Please come out and join us for a true gift shopping experience that Saturday,’ said Kuhn.”You can find us on School Street, one block parallel from the downtown overpass, opposite side of McDonalds. When I mention where the church is, most people know it as ‘that church with the cross in the roof shingles’ – and yes, that’s us”

The Canadian Lord’s Day Association For the purpose of preserving the sanctity of the Lord’s Day.

THE KING AND THE WORKMAN When His Majesty George III., was repairing his palace at Kew, one of the workmen, who was a good man, was particularly noticed by the King, and he often spoke with him upon serious subjects. One Monday morning his Majesty went as usual to watch the progress of the work, and not seeing this man, he asked the reason of his absence. The King was told that being unable to !nish a particular job on the Saturday night, they had returned to !nish it on the Sabbath morning. This man alone refused to work on the Lord’s Day and because of that he was dismissed. “Call him back immediately”, said the good King. “The man who would not do his ordinary work on the Lord’s Day is the man for me. Let him be sent for.” He was replaced, and the King ever after showed him special favour. The fourth commandment, Exodus 20: 8-11: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all they work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, they manservant, nor they maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. 11096806

tarting this January, students will no longer be able to say “charge it to my credit card” when paying tuition for courses at the University of the Fraser Valley. As part of a cost-cutting exercise aimed at balancing its budget and allocating the most funding possible to direct educational benefits, UFV will no longer accept credit card payments for domestic tuition.

UFV has been paying nearly half a million dollars per year in transaction fees to credit card companies. It is not the only university to make this decision. UBC, SFU, and Kwantlen and Vancouver Island Universities are also making the change. After Jan. 1, 2011, students will still be able to pay domestic tuition and semester fees through online banking, debit payments, cash, and cheques.

Remember... “When I die and go to hell, as I’m pretty sure I am, I can tell the devil I’ve been here before: I’ve been to HMCS Cornwallis.” - Don Bellamy

Ship shape memories

Don Bellamy shows how far German U-boats penetrated the St. Lawrence River. Bellamy has pinpointed the 32 Canadian military ships lost to enemy fire in the Second World War, and the three German ships his boat sank.

Don Bellamy plays the piano in his den. While on shore leave in Montreal, Bellamy picked up tips from a thenunknown Oscar Peterson.

Canada’s navy never did get the credit itt deserved during the Second World War BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Don Bellamy doesn’t pull his punches. The former train conductor, police officer, businessman, Vancouver city alderman and anti-aircraft gunner thinks the navy has long been under-appreciated when people start talking about Canada’s participation in the Second World War. “There’s not much publicity that has ever been enjoyed by the navy for what they did in World War Two,” says Bellamy. “Maybe it’s time to wake up now and realize that we had a hell of a job to do with lousy equipment and we were always the last of our allied naval forces that got the equipment that we needed. Everybody else got it before us. We had ships that should have gone to the scrapyard before the

war started, let alone after it.” That doesn’t mean Bellamy isn’t darn proud of the work he and his fellow sailors did in the war. “We had lousy equipment and by the time we got up to speed, numerically speaking we were the second largest navy by the numbers ers er rs of ships in the world. “The Royal Navy, I used to always jokingly gly y say, was the second best.” Canada’s was the top op p of the heap, Bellamy felt and still feels. “That was always good to start a fight.” Bellamy says he was caught trying to join the navy when he was 16. After being stalled untill he was old enough, Bellamy was sent to HMCS CS S Cornwallis for advanced seaman training. He was less than impressed by his surroundings. 2 See NAVY, Page B2

The seal of the HMCS Kootenay decorates Don Bellamy’s garage. although the equipment didn’t get much better. “Time changes everything, except in the navy.” Bellamy was placed on the HMCS Chicoutimi, a corvette-style submarine. Asked how he felt about getting on a ship, Bellamy characteristically didn’t mince words.

“I didn’t give a [care]. I was leaving Cornwallis.” (Bellamy actually used a stronger word, but asked the Times “to clean that up a bit.”) “What’s it like? The first two weeks was hell because you’re seasick everyday and there’s nothing worse than seasick because you can’t get away from the cause.

“When I die and go to hell, as I’m pretty sure I am, I can tell the devil I’ve been here before: I’ve been to HMCS Cornwallis,” he says. “Our food? Powdered milk, powdered eggs, powdered potatoes. Everything was either powdered or something like that. Don’t ask me why, because I couldn’t give you the answer, but it was always powdered. “At any given time, Cornwallis had 10,000 men and 400 wrens” (meaning women), he says. “You had to have a beard down to here, and metal from here to here, and then maybe you could get a dance with them.” Bellamy was there for four months. Getting on a ship, was a different story, he said,

“And, of course, a corvette will roll on wet grass. They’re a tender ship. They’re a good sea ship but the living on them is tremendously uncomfortable because you’re wet all the time.” “Wet, wet, wet.” Bellamy hopes that, even as time pushes further on from the Second World War, the contribution of sailors isn’t forgotten, even if their remains have long been lost. “The sailors that lost their lives in the Second World War have no grave. Their grave was the deep. We lost 32 ships—we’re talking navy ships now—through enemy action. “And what is difficult even today, to have people realize, is that they were torpedoing ships up the St. Lawrence River as far as Rimouski. That’s a hell of a long way up the river.”

Getting to know the enemy Learning about Germany helped change Fred Allan’s mind

Remembering those who fought for our freedom

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

hen Fred Allan landed on the beaches of Normandy a few days after D-Day in 1944, he didn’t know a lot about his enemy. The retired artillery captain who now lives in Chilliwack had missed out on whatever he might have learned about Germany in school when he dropped out in Grade 7 and took his first job as a bellboy at a hotel in his native New Brunswick. In the 1930s you only went to school until you got a job, he said. On the beach, all he knew about the Germans was that they were out to kill him. “When you landed on the beach you had your head down and you looked for the best cover that you could find, and sometimes it was a dead body that you got behind,” he said. “The beaches were still under fire. The Germans had withdrawn to a certain extent, but we still had aircraft attacking the beaches. That was enough to take 10 year’s growth off your life, seeing the Messerschmitts coming in and strafing the beaches.” But his attitude toward his enemy See ALLAN, Page B7

ith the average age of Second World War veterans at 86 and growing older by the minute, a Canadawide drive is on to capture valuable memories from the the Second World War. The memory project is an initiative by the Historica-Dominion Institute that hopes to record Second World War stories straight from the mouths of the men and women who were there. Already more than 1,000 have participated and told their stories, which can be viewed by the public at www.thememoryproject. com The goal, “Is to provide every veteran of the Second World War who wants to share their story an opportunity to do so,

the war was like. Doug May, a navy veteran who told his story to the Memory Project, agrees. “It’s interesting, the young people these days are showing far more interest in the war,” he said. That can be seen at Remembrance Day parades. Each year, as the number of veterans diminishes, crowds seem to grow. “The crowds are bigger than we’ve ever seen,” said May. ◗ The memory project aims to provide each veteran an opportunity to share their stories. While Memory Project staff have left town, the opportunity remains, with veterans able to call a toll-free number (1-866-701-1867) and tell their stories over the phone.

said Jill Paterson, the Memory Project’s deputy project manager. Many are opening up, sometimes for the first time. “A fair number of veterans tell us it’s the first time they’ve shared those stories,” Paterson told the Times. “I think they realize that the time is really now to share them. “The types of stories we hear really run the gamut.” Some veterans talk about seeing horrifying tragedies unfold, others discuss the camaraderie of war, both on the front lines and far from action. Paterson said there seems to have been a renewed interest in war stories from the veterans’ grandchildren, most of whom only have vague ideas of what

the Mediterranean.We didn’t fly very high, of course—only about five thousand feet, so there was lots to see. One of the places we flew over was the Anzio Bridgehead, and that was a very famous beachhead where the Allied forces landed. There was fierce fighting there during the battle for Italy. So Vic was pointing this out, or trying to point it out to the passengers, and he was looking out the starboard side of our aircraft, and he discovered our starboard wing was on fire, and oh boy . . . We got the fire out, feathered the prop, and I’m the navigator, so I’m looking for an airport close-by that we could land at. Anyway, the upside of the thing was that we landed in—Camigliano was the name of the airport near Naples, and we landed with one engine, and all of the passengers were really excited. When the Skipper got out of the aircraft, the passengers came out and hugged him and kissed him, and kissed the ground. They were really happy that we’d gotten them that far. ◗ This story is courtesy of the Memory Project. For more stories, including audio and video transcrips, visit www. thememoryproject.com.

y name is Harvey Armstrong Carmichael. I was born and raised in Keremeos, B.C.—a little town in southeastern British Columbia. I took my Grade 13 in Chilliwack, and the day we finished writing exams, I went to the recruiting office to enlist in the RCAF. That was in 1941. That was the year after the Battle of Britain, and that great stand that our airmen made. That was what I wanted to be—I wanted to join them as a pilot. They talked me into a year at university. They had lots of high school graduates at that particular time, so I joined the COTC—the Canadian Officers’ Training Corps—at the University of British Columbia, September 1941, and was in that for the year that I was there. Then I left UBC to join the RCAF in the spring of 1942. Finally, I got a posting to No. 6 OUT in Comox for overseas posting in the spring of 1945. We had a lot of interesting trips. One, we were flying, we picked up about 25 passengers in Paris who were on their way to the Middle East, and we were to ferry them as far as Naples, Italy. It was a beautiful day in the late fall, and we flew south to Marseilles and then across

Tough to talk about times at sea BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

a lack of use and no longer fits Edwards says his attitude may be a hold over from his father’s tight-lipped way of dealing with his own experiences in the First World War. “You never knew he was in the war,” Edwards said of his father. “He wouldn’t talk about it at all. “All my father would say when I asked him—I finally pumped him—he finally told me that all he could remember on that was horses screaming, men yelling and screaming, and the mud. That’s all he ever said.” “That’s why I consider myself lucky. “You look back at it and you think how it was such a long time ago, and I don’t think anything’s really changed.” Asked if there are any lessons to be learned, 65 years after the end of the Second World War, Edwards, says, with a bitter laugh: “don’t join up.”

lved Edwards has never talked much about his role in the Second World War. “You try not to think about it,” he says. “It’s in the past, right?” Edwards was a ASDIC—later to be known as SONAR—operator on a navy ship that escorted convoys across the Atlantic. From inside a closed room, Edwards and his fellow ASDIC operators—who were informally called “ping merchants”—were tasked with locating submarines prowling the depths of the ocean. Edwards and his ship survived the war, but the same couldn’t be said for all the boats that crossed the ocean. “It wasn’t a pleasant sight to look over and see a ship burning in the dis-

tance.” And he had several friends among the 91 who died when a German Uboat sank the HMCS Shawinigan in late 1944 at the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Edwards considers himself lucky to have finished the war with only a little hearing loss. He is hesitant to speak of his duty, although he contributed to the Memory Project’s gathering of Chilliwack veterans’ war recollections. That’s where the Times caught up with Edwards. “I don’t like to get into sessions with saying how tough it was during the war,” he said. “I don’t talk about it. In fact, I don’t really think about my naval service at all.” Edwards says he’s only participated in “a couple” of Remembrance Day parades. His blazer has shrunken from

CURRENCE, Olive Helen

May 27, 1933 ~ November 5, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Olive Helen Currence at the Chilliwack General Hospital on Friday, November 5th 2010 at the age of 77 years. She will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her husband of 54 years, Clifford, her 4 daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren, Debbie Currence and Marcel Boulianne, Valerie and Clayton Greve and their children Shane and Jennie, Denise Perreault and Dale Greve and son Sean Perreault and daughter Sara Greve, and Janice and Dino Stefanucci. Her sister Millie McDonald of Devon, Alberta and brothers Alex Procyk and wife Fran and Zan Procyk and wife Shirley all from Vancouver, BC, plus many extended family members including numerous nieces, nephews and dear friends. Olive was born the 9th child out of ten on May 27th 1933 in Lamont, Alberta to predeceased parents Nicholas and Mary Procyk. She will be fondly remembered for her loving and caring devotion to her family and her willingness to help others. Despite the many health issues she endured throughout her lifetime, she always fought back with amazing strength, courage and determination. She was a beautiful woman both inside and out, she had a warm and caring heart; wonderful smile and a great sense of humour, fun and playfulness… she “sparkled” in her own unique way and that spark will forever remain in our hearts. Fly high into the sky on Angels Wings knowing you were loved dearly and will be greatly missed. The family would like to express our deepest gratitude to all doctors and staff of the CGH and AGH for their wonderful care and concern over these past several months. A Tea in Celebration of Olive’s Life will be held on Friday, November 12th 2010 from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at the Henderson’s Funeral Home Tea Room, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack. In lieu of ﬂowers, the family would be sincerely grateful if donations were made in honour of Olive to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
