ver the holiday season several organizations work hard to collect donations of toys to give as presents to children whose families otherwise couldn’t afford them. Just this past weekend the Chilliwack Mt. Cheam Rotary Club held the Chilliwack Athletes for Toys and Tots Fund volleyball tournament where participants brought toys to brighten the holidays for young kinds. But teenagers in families that can’t afford anything extra this time of year “People usually are often overthink about little l o o k e d . Tw o kids more so we local teenagers want to change are trying to get that. Siblings Dexmore presents ter and Holly for teens.” Va n d e r Wy k h a v e c re a t e d Dexter Vander Wyk a new charity, Happy HollyDays, to collect presents for teenagers. “We are trying to bring cheer to older kids,” Dexter told the Times. “People usually think about little kids more so we are trying to get more presents for teens.” The idea came to life after Holly told her friends to make donations to a charity rather than give her a present at her birthday. “I came up with the idea to start my own See HOLLY, Page 4

f the City of Chilliwack wants to hit the owners of marijuana grow houses harder, it doesn’t have to look far. The District of Kent recently upped its fine for grow house owners from $400 to $3,500, but those dollars represent just the tip of the financial iceberg facing unwary grow house owners; for years it has been levying fees more than six times that on other grow-op owners. Kent chief administrative officer Wallace Mah said the district has billed an Agassiz property owner more than $20,000 to recover police, fire and district costs associated with a grow-op caused fire that burnt down his Pioneer Road auto body shop in July. Police said they found 230 marijuana plants at the back of Willy Chapman’s auto body shop. The grow-op was responsible for starting a fire and because of that, the district is billing Chapman for the cost of putting the blaze out. Chapman isn’t the only person being asked to pay up. The district also recently sent out a bill for $12,433 to another home owner. So far this year, it has collected more than $50,000. Because the municipality also pays 70 per cent of policing costs, it also passes that bill onto the owners of grow houses. “All these costs need to be borne by the home owner,” Mah told the Times. “If the grow-op caused the fire we charge all the costs to put out the fire.” Chilliwack charges nowhere near as much as Kent, despite efforts to recover costs. Last month the Times reported that even owners of houses where multiple grow houses have been busted faced fines in the $3,000 to $4,000 range. The city has the ability to level a $10,000 fine, but hasn’t because it is unlikely that a judge would impose such a hefty penalty. The Kent fees skirt the issue by seeking See FINES, Page 4

n early morning crime spree Saturday morning has landed three men in custody. Police received a call around 5:15 a.m. Saturday from a witness who saw three suspicious men leave a car from which nothing was stolen. Over the hour police received several more reports of property crimes in the same area. One of those calls came from a resident who found the suspects in his garage, on Kathleen Drive, and then followed them as they made their

The caller tipped police off to the suspects’ location on Springgate Place and police were able to stop their Suburban truck and arrest the occupants without incident. The vehicle was subsequently searched and inside, police say they found numerous items stolen from cars in the Kathleen Drive area.
The Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduction Unit is still investigating what link, if any, the suspects may have to other property crime committed in Chilliwack. Two men, aged 19 and 22, from Surrey, and a 20-year-old White Rock man have been held in custody to face multiple charges. Police have

recommended charges of theft, possession of stolen property, break and enter, and trespassing at night. All three men are known to police. “The value of the information received from calls from the public is tremendous for police,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop. “Time and time again our community members come through with key information and are an important part of our crime reduction team.”
ighways officials reopened the westbound lane on Highway 1 to traffic in both directions Saturday evening after a rockfall near Bridal Falls closed the route on Friday. One eastbound lane is also open, but one lane is scheduled to remain closed until Dec. 3 as crews attempt to bolt the rock in place, said Kurt Edmunds, Fraser Valley district operations manager for the Minister of Transportation. Geotechnical crews started blasting two pieces of rock at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday following a “reconnaissance” by a helicopter and crews who rappelled down the rock face in the morning to determine the situation. About 70 to 100 metres of rock fell down at about 2 p.m. Friday, landing behind the mesh screen. A large chunk of rock also shattered, sending shards of rock pieces across the east bound lane of the highway. No one was injured as a result of the rock slide, a 39.3kilometre stretch between the junctions of Highway 9, in Rosedale, and Highway 9, in Haig. Edmunds said the rock slide likely occurred as a result of

the recent cold snap. During the freezing period, he said, moisture gets between the hairline cracks in the rock and expands; it then shrinks during the thawing period. While the mesh screen did its job by catching most of the rocks, the concern is that more rock shards could be sent flying onto the eastbound lane, possibly hitting a vehicle. Even small rocks the size of a loaf of bread could do a lot of damage to a fast-moving car, he said. “We want to make sure the lane is safe.” Eastbound travellers can detour via exit 135 to Highway 9 and to Highway 7, rejoining with Highway 1 in Hope. Earlier in the day Friday, a fatal collision involving two semi trucks closed Highway 1 between Boston Bar and Avalanche Gate. Emergency services were called to the north end of Spuzzum Bridge at around 6:45 a.m. after one semi travelling south along the highway flipped on its side, crossing all lanes of traffic. Another southbound semi, unable to stop in time, collided with the flipped semi, sending both over a steep embankment toward a creek bed below. One driver was taken to hospital for non-lifethreatening injuries.The other driver’s body later was recovered by emergency crews.

Suffering from Prostate Problems? P
rostate problems are an issue men are rarely keen to discuss. When a man reaches middle age, he often becomes concerned about his prostate - and for good reason. 50% of men over the age of fifty will suffer some form of prostate difficulty. By the time a man reaches eighty, 8 out of 10 men will suffer prostate problems!
Prostate Protect combines some very potent herbs that work with each other to provide natural support for a healthy prostate. Saw Palmetto - Numerous studies have shown that an extract of this plant significantly improves benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Roughly 90% of men with BPH experience improvement in as little as 4 weeks! Beta Sitosterol - a powerful nutrient that promotes prostate health. It has shown a remarkable ability to help improve BPH. Nettle Root - improves BPH symptoms and urinary flow.
Red Clover - has been shown to limit BPH and helps to protect against prostate cancer.
Flower Pollen - reduces prostate swelling for better urinary flow and helps to stop the growth of prostate cells. Pumpkin Seed - It works well together with saw palmetto relieving BPH symptoms. Pumpkin Seed has antiinflammatory properties and is a diuretic - it helps to ease bladder discomfort. Research shows it improves bladder functions. That means fewer nightime visits to the washroom. Lycopene - has been shown to reduce the size of prostate tumours and lower the blood levels of prostate PSA- an indicator of prostate cancer activity. Prostate Protect also contains selenium and Vitamin D3 essential vitamins and minerals for prostate health. For more information about Prostate Protect, visit Sardis Health Foods.

Clawing his way to the top BY JONATHAN FOWLIE from Vancouver Sun blog
A
fter much searching, it seems the B.C. Liberals have finally found a new front runner in the race to replace Premier Gordon Campbell. This candidate has the experience of being close to power, but is not so close to be associated with unpopular policies like the HST. He’s a media darling, who has already captured the heart of a province, and graced the front pages of almost every newspaper in B.C. And, according to the Facebook page urging him to run, he has: “charm and charisma.” The new candidate? Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Barry Penner’s cat, Ranger. Best known for catching fire this past Earth Day, Ranger is “a self-declared ladies cat,” according to the Facebook fan page.
“Ranger knows the province needs legalized cat nip, more bird feeders and cat doors in every home,” it says. The site adds: “Ranger likes to drink water from the tap. He enjoys bird watching and a bit of time with the cat nip.” And, of course, “Ranger does not like candle light dinners.” Now, someone just needs to convince Ranger to run. I spoke with Penner about the page for his cat, and he said someone had just told him Ranger had more “likes” on Facebook than a page devoted to drafting Rich Coleman. Sure enough, the count as of Friday at 6 p.m. was Ranger 54, Coleman 48. By Monday the count was up to 170 for Ranger and 55 for Coleman. “He does have a strong commitment to the environment,” Penner said of his cat. “He’s clawing his way to the top.” George Abbott had 255 likes as of Monday morning on his Facebook page.

Finch gets special law designation C hilliwack lawyer William Martin Finch was appointed Queen’s counsel by Attorney General Michael de Jong last week. On Friday, the ministry of attorney general announced 24 British Columbia lawyers had been given the distinction. The Queen’s counsel designation is an honour conferred on members of the legal profession to recognize exceptional merit and contribution. Successful candidates demonstrate professional integrity and good character and must be members of the British Columbia bar for at least five years. Finch is a partner and legal education co-
ordinator with Baker Newby LLP. His focus is criminal law and civil litigation. Finch has conducted many cases pro bono and shares his experience by supervising articled law students. All applications were reviewed by an advisory committee. The advisory committee includes the chief justice of British Columbia, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the chief judge of the Provincial Court of British Columbia, the president of the Law Society of British Columbia and a Law Society member appointed by the benchers (directors). The committee also seeks the views of the Canadian Bar Association (B.C. branch).

Soldiers take to scaffold to raise funds for children BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
T
wo Chilliwack soldiers are taking Christmas fundraising efforts to a whole new level—literally. ASU Chilliwack members Jason Doiron and Erasmo Gavini plan to live on a 25-foot-tall scaffold for a week in December in order to raise money for the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation. The pair will remain on the 50square-foot scaffold for the entire week, returning to the ground only to use the bathroom. The platform is open to the elements and enclosed by plexiglass, which will allow people to see in, but should prevent the soldiers from rolling off the platform in the middle of the night. Doiron said that he and Gavini—who first met each other while stationed in Afghanistan—had talked about the idea for a while and finally decided to go through with their plan. The pair will sleep with a tarp ground sheep covering their heads during the
“The army gives us a lot of good clothing to protect us from the environment so I think we’ll be OK.”
Jason Doiron night, but will be otherwise uncovered and exposed to the elements. And while Doiron avoids using the word “suffer,” the week is clearly going to be uncomfortable. The two men have garnered support from the base, which OK’d the erection of the scaffold on the property, and from family and friends, who will bring some food to the stranded soldiers. “Something like this you can’t just decide, we’re going to do it,” said Doiron. The scaffold has been donated by the Chilliwack Eze Rent-it Centre. The pair will also cook meals and drinks using a gas burner. “We’re going up there with as little
as possible,” said Doiron. “We’re going to do without just to acknowledge that children do without.” The conditions will be tight but Doiron figures that he and Gavini will survive. “It will be a little close in those sleeping bags, but we’ll manage.” Ditto for the weather. “We’ll take it as it comes. I think we’ll be fine. The army gives us a lot of good clothing to protect us from the environment so I think we’ll be OK.” The pair hopes to spend most of their time soliciting donations by passersby and chatting with pedestrians. “We hope people will come by to chat,” said Doiron. The scaffold will be erected in front of the ASU at 5535 Keith Wilson Rd. Donations can be made inside the ASU, on the web at www.bcchf.ca/asu, or directly to the soldiers, who will have a bucket that can be lowered down to the ground. A Facebook page has also been set up; search for “ASU Chilliwack Survival Challenge.”
I had a client call the clinic this past week to ask if it is safe to keep her dog outdoors during the Arctic-like cold snap. Believe it or not, this was never discussed in any course I took at veterinary college (the school is located in Saskatoon, Sask. really- how cold can be TOO cold?) I reached for my textbooks, but they too would had no definite answers. How cold is too cold for our pets? The answer is, “it depends”. There is not one temperature that you can cite. Common sense is often not so common sometimes, so here are a few words of advice for the winter ahead: 1. Realize that small breed dogs and short breeds will not do as well outdoors as hardy breeds. While a malamute will be fine during temperatures that are freezing, a Yorkie will likely die well before the Malamute registers even a bit of discomfort. There are coats, sweaters and protective booties you can buy to place on your small breed dogs that help retain heat. 2. Keep your cats inside. They have incredible survival instincts and will likely find shelter and warmth but why subject them to discomfort? Outdoor cats often sleep under the hoods of cars. When the motor is started, the cat can be injured or killed by the fan belt. 3. Puppies do not tolerate the cold as well as adult dogs, and may be difficult to housebreak during the winter. Perhaps opt to paper train inside until the weather warms. 4. If your dog is a large breed outdoor dog, provide a well-insulated dog house, placed in a protected area of the yard—as a shelter against wind chill and blowing snow. Avoid heartbreak and rather than wondering how cold is too cold for a dog or cat outside, resolve to be proactive and err on the side of caution.

Council tightens exotic animal bylaw K
eep your hyenas, alligators and cobras out of Chilliwack. Chilliwack city council introduced new bylaws at its last meeting to close loopholes that might have been open to exotic animal owners in an effort to come into line with provincial legislation, which came into effect April 1. The city’s current wild or exotic animal performance bylaw from 1999 forbids public shows or displays of a variety of listed animals. Part of the problem was that the bylaw did not cover shows that included unlisted animals. And the city’s animal control bylaw from 2007 does not regulate exotic animals at all. “Council agreed to amend the city’s wild and exotic animal bylaw in order to update it, ensure it is similar to other B.C. municipal bylaws and cohesive with the new provincial legislation,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz told the Times.
The new bylaw will prohibit the possession of an amended list of exotic animals so that even if no display or show is planned, the animals are not allowed. Changes to the animal list included deleting “snakes and venomous reptiles” and inserting a ban on “venomous or poisonous reptiles; venomous or poisonous arachnids (scorpions); and snakes, except those designated as wildlife by provincial enactment” “When the bylaw was first adopted in 1999, it was because council of the day heard from an overwhelming majority of residents that the community has no tolerance for using animals for entertainment purposes,” Gaetz said. “The response the city has heard from the community in regards to the new provincial legislation shows that this sentiment remains the same.” Earlier this year, Mike Hopcraft— known as The Reptile Guy—wanted to set up a zoo-like facility in downtown Chilliwack featuring spectacled caiman, scorpions, tarantulas, boa constrictors,
pythons and more. The bylaw in place at that time was enough to stymie his plans to set up shop in the city. “I am just so frustrated with the City of Chilliwack,” he said in March. “Their bylaw says you can’t use animals for the amusement or entertainment. I’m not out there for amusement and entertainment, this is an educational presentation. I’m not a circus. I’m not a sideshow.” Hopcraft ran his menagerie out of his home, but provincial laws that came into effect April 1 meant he needed a permit for the animals. Frustrated by Chilliwack’s reaction to his desire to move here, he said he was going to set up shop in Abbotsford. The bylaw given introduction and first reading at the Nov. 15 council meeting also increased licence fees for spayed/ neutered dogs from $12 to $15 per year, and increased adoption fees from $150 to $200 per dog to “help offset the costs of providing animal control services in the community.”

◗ Opinion
R.I.P. political correctness
T
he most interesting aspect of the motion at a Chilliwack school board meeting to refer to the upcoming school break as the Christmas Holidays is that it became a news item at all. How absurd that something as basic and reasonable turned into a national news story. Yet in this day and age of sanitization and hyper-sensitivity, it’s almost radically heroic that a school trustee would wade into such controversial waters. Kudos to trustee Heather Maahs for eschewing political correctness and putting one in the win column for common sense; we need more solid people like her in leadership positions. And hats off to the rest of the trustees for unanimously supporting the motion. Predictably, the usual suspects feigned horror and shock at the motion. Most notable was Chilliwack Teacher’s Association president Katharin Midzain who rambled considerable nonsense about how intolerant the move was. People such as her who worship at the temple of political correctness are a dying breed, slowly going the way of the dinosaurs. They had their day in the sun during the previous couple decades but, mercifully, fewer and fewer of us now have the time of day for them. The Midzains of the world are, for the most part, an insecure
JOHN MARTIN
Crime Matters constituency who need to validate their sense of self worth and moral superiority by lecturing us unenlightened sorts about what is or is not appropriate. They see themselves as socially conscious, tolerant progressives and the rest of us as, at best, insensitive trailer trash and at worst, incorrigible bigots. I defy Midzain or anyone else who is adamant we should celebrate the “winter break” to document so much as one solitary Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, Jew or anyone else who has actually expressed a genuine sense of personal injustice at any official recognition of Christmas. They may pretend they are champions of social justice who are here to protect the sensitivities of visible minorities and non-Christians, but they spout this politically correct drivel for themselves and no one else. Like most social movements, political correctness began for all the right reasons. It drew attention to figures of speech that were clearly insulting to specific ethnic and religious groups. But eradicating terms such as “Indian-
giver” and “he gypped me” soon turned into a full fledged witch hunt; except you couldn’t use the word ‘witch” because that would offend Wiccans. Christmas, in particular, became a favourite target of the politically correct posse—much of it couched in a less than subtle intolerance of Christianity. Soon bureaucrats and other busy bodies with too much time on their hands and not nearly enough work on their desk made it their business to hunt down any and all official state recognition of Christmas. City halls and legislatures were soon making fools of themselves by erecting “multicultural trees” and hanging “solstice wreaths.” Retail stores were instructing staff to avoid greeting customers with a “Merry Christmas” and a couple years ago we actually saw department store Santas being told not to say “ho, ho, ho” because it might offend sex trade workers. This is the legacy left behind by political correctness—one boneheaded absurdity after another. It’s called “Christmas” and always will be so Katharin Midzain and the rest of the do-gooders may as well get used to it. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the FraserValley and can be contacted at John.Martin@ufv.ca.
he numbers are astounding. And embarrassing. More than 100,000 women and children are forced out of their homes to escape domestic violence—each year. That’s in Canada. This is not some backwards country in one of the world’s backwaters—the kind of country that we fancy requires our ongoing assistance to maintain civilization. This is not a country afflicted with endemic poverty and the stresses that that creates throughout the social structure. This is not a country perpetually at war with its immediate neighbours and within its own borders, so that violence has become the natural state of being for many of its citizens. This is Canada—a nation renowned and revered throughout the world for its peaceful disposition, and for the laidback, rational world-view of its people. So it seems yet another stereotype is seriously flawed. And while we’re at it, let’s point out that the root of the problem is violence against women—the children are often caught in the middle. Ending violence against women is not just a legal issue. It’s not just a matter of sending police officers in when the shouting turns to beatings and worse. Violence against women comes in many forms, and until the social respect that all citizens deserve is recognized to be at the heart of the problem, the more visible forms of violence will continue. To beat violence down, we have to go beyond the homes in which violence occurs. We have to address unacceptable —and yet still universally accepted— social relationships that automatically place women in inferior positions. We have to address social demands born of exploitative stereotypes. And we have to address social expectations that continue to place undue burdens on women who strive to succeed in non-traditional arenas. It all comes down to respect. And 100,000 women and children aren’t getting as much of it as they deserve.

Right decision by school board
A Jewish perspective Editor: I’m an extremely minuscule minority in Chilliwack. I’m Jewish. So please let me chime in with a perspective on why I think the word “Christmas” should stand as the banner that this winter holiday is flown under: 1. 94 per cent of all Canadians celebrate Christmas (yes, even many ethnic and religious minorities); 2. Christmas is a global holiday and it’s estimated that 45 per cent of the world celebrates it (included in that number are the 32 per cent of the world’s population who identify themselves as Christians); 3. It’s a tradition in this country before we were even a country;

4. Because the actual reason for the holiday is Christmas; 5. Actual Christmas generates massive retail and service revenue in our country that would cripple us if the holiday were diminished; 6. Christmas generates a wave of charitable giving second to none; 7. The same society and celebrates Christmas opened doors of freedom to Jews and other minorities unlike anything we’ve ever experienced; 8. Lastly, and just as important as all the rest, we all need to continue to value Christmas as an answer to the very few individuals that place no value on the desires of their fellow Canadians, our rich Canadian heritage and traditions, or the need to feed the spirit. These few individuals seem to think that they’re better than a democratic system and would push their narrowmindedness on all of us. It won’t stop with this silly Christmas controversy, that’s for sure. It really is a form of bigotry and intolerance—and this is from someone who has actual experience on the short end of this stick, not someone who read books about it in a university class. Perhaps when 94 per cent of our country are atheists or opposed to Christmas then we can think of shuffling some religious holidays around. In the meantime, I hope that these people take an egg nog-flavoured chill pill. Furthermore, I’m tired of these people saying that the reason they want to outlaw the term “Christmas” in any official manner is because of us minorities, which is completely a lie. A lie which only hides their
own personal agendas and even worse spawns a wave of prejudice and hate each Christmas season as people blame us for the controversy! So, from a Hanukkah celebrating Chilliwack Jew I say Merry Christmas to all of you and a Happy New Year! Yaakov Levy Moreh Chilliwack
Board decision makes sense Editor: Thank you so much for being brave enough to tell it like it is—this is the Christmas Holidays—that’s what we are celebrating. Why do we always feel like we have to pretend that it’s not—just to be politically right. People have other celebrations, we don’t tell them that they are not allowed. So why do we need to hide our celebration of Christmas? Thank you. This really makes sense. Laurie McNaught Chilliwack
Christmas is the reason Editor: Well, congratulations to our school board trustees for putting the name Christmas back into our Christmas celebration. It has always been the Christmas holidays. For those who are immigrants or do not believe in Christmas, the only reason it is a holiday is because of Christmas and not because of winter. Just keep on working or doing whatever, you don’t have to take a holiday.
Nyda Realty
Editor: Three cheers for the Chilliwack School Board. They did what a vast majority of people want, regardless of their religious beliefs. They are calling the Christmas break “the Christmas holiday.” And we extend our warmest Christmas greetings to those white Anglo Saxons who believe they are representing those non-Christian groups but who seem to wish us all Merry Christmas. So Merry Christmas to all, and to all, call it right. Cec and Loretta Rempel Chilliwack
Maybe we are too sensitive Editor: I think it’s funny that Kirsten Brandreth talks about the need to be “very sensitive” to other peoples’ beliefs when in other parts of the world, Muslims, Buddhists, and secularists celebrate Christmas. Obviously they don’t focus on Christ but they call it Christmas nonetheless. No hurt feelings. I would venture to say it’s the same thing here in Canada. Maybe we’re taking this sensitivity thing too far. Derek Koch Chilliwack
Don’t lose sight of traditions Editor: I read the article in the Nov. 26 Times about the Chilliwack School Board’s decision to once again call the Christmas break a Christmas break instead of a winter vacation. I applaud the school board’s decision. I am by no means prejudiced towards other cultures or religions; but enough is enough. See LETTERS, Page 20

Editor: A letter of congratulations to the Chilliwack School Board for its decision regarding Christmas vacation. I won’t say brave decision, because this should not be considered a brave decision, rather a decision a long time coming. Last time I checked, we lived in Canada, a mainly Christian nation, and that is how the tradition of Christmas has been celebrated for centuries. In other nations, where there are Canadians living, I certainly would never ask them to change their ideas or traditions for us, and more importantly, I guarantee, and know for a fact, that they would never change their ways for us. It should never be considered a “walk on the wild side” but if that is what it has come down to, so be it. Congratulations, and do not change it back. My sons are in school and will be on Christmas vacation. If others don’t like it there are many airplanes that can fly to where their traditions are celebrated. Please do not take this as rude, or anything else than what it is, a regular, nonchurch-going, agnostic Canadian upholding the values I was raised on—and the ones I am raising my children on.

T
he mystery of the Chilliwack Bruins continues. Two days after being shutout and shut down by the Prince George Cougars in what may have been the their worst performance of the year, Chilliwack knocked off a power house Portland Winterhawks squad that had lost just five times all year. Portland entered the game first in the Western Hockey League with a 21-4-0-1 record and 43 points. Less than halfway through the season, they were more than 15 points ahead of the next best team in the west. They had lost four of their last 25 games. Chilliwack, meanwhile, had lost four of their last five. Naturally, or not, the Bruins spotted the Winterhawks a twogoal lead before pouring seven unanswered pucks past Portland netminder Mac Carruth. The game opened how you would expect it to, with Nino Neiderreiter, just one of Portland’s plethora of premier prospects, putting the puck past Bruins goalie Lucas Gore. Sven Bartschi extended Portland’s lead just 38 seconds into the second period. But then the Bruins, who tallied 15 shots on goal of each of the second and third periods, took over.
Paul J. Henderson/TIMES
Bruin goaltender Lucas Gore stymies Winterhawk Ty Rattie on a second period breakaway Friday night at Prospera. Brendan Manning scored from the point on the power play seven minutes in to narrow the lead; Jeff Einhorn eliminated it six minutes later when he took a pass, walked into the slot and wristed the puck past Carruth. Tied at two entering the third period, the Bruins grew stronger while Portland wilted. Kevin Sundher’s blind seeing-eye
wrister gave the Bruins the lead seven minutes in. He would finish with two goals and two assists. Ryan Howse extended the advantage by wiring the puck over Carruth midway through the period. A shorthanded goal by Steve Oursov—his first as a Bruin—along with late power play markers from Brandon Magee and Sundher rounded out the scoring.
Bruins assistant coach Pat Conacher credited his team’s work without the puck for laying the groundwork for the victory. “I thought we did a great job down ice in Portland’s end and that was a big key to our success,” he said. “We haven’t been able to do that often enough as far as sustaining forechecks against opposing teams and I thought we did a very
Holowenko dealt for D-man The Chilliwack Bruins bolstered their injury-ridden defence, not to mention their consonant-to-vowel ratio, Thursday in a trade with the Prince Albert Raiders. The Bruins acquired 18-yearold defenceman Emerson Hrynyk from the Raiders in return for goaltending prospect Cole Holowenko Hrynyk has scored twice and added four assists in 50 games for the Raiders over the past two seasons. The Bruins selected Holowenko with their second choice in the 2008 bantam draft. But Braden Gamble won the backup battle last year and held onto his spot in training camp this fall, making Holowenko expendable. Hrynyk, who hails from Okanagan Falls, B.C., played Friday night as did 16-year-old Kade Pilton, who has since been sent back to Fernie of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Conacher was pleased with how Pilton played in his two auditioning games. “He came in and had nice patience with the puck,” said Conacher. “It was pleasing and we played against two tough teams, but See BRUINS, Page 11

Team makes Howse call BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
C
hilliwack Bruins sniper Ryan Howse may be seeing red this Boxing Day, and not just from all the Christmas wrapping and decorations. Howse got the call Monday morning that he had been invited to take part in the final selection camp for Canada’s national junior team. He is one of 39 players— including 17 from theWestern Hockey League—invited to the camp. At the camp, head coach Dave Cameron and his staff will choose the cream of
the crop to play in the World Junior Championships in Buffalo, which starts Dec. 26. “It’s an honour. It’s down to the last little bit of players here and to be mentioned with them is pretty big and I’m really excited,” Howse told the Times. The Howse family’s Christmas plans, might be disrupted, however. “It will be a little different than it has in the past because usually I’m sitting at home with the family watching the World Juniors so they might get changed this year.” With 19 goals and 15 assists through 24 games this season,
Tossing bears
Howse sits 10th in league scoring and has turned heads with his play on both sides of the puck. “Having that quick start obviously helped me out a lot because they said they’d be watching our progress during the start of the season,” he said. “Obviously getting invited to Canada-Russia [Super Series] also helped out and now just leading up to this is really exciting.” ◗ The camp runs from Dec. 12 to 15, which means Howse will miss at least four of the Bruins’ games during an Alberta road trip.
BRUINS, from page 10 there’s still a ways to go and that’s why we sent him back.” Bring your teddy bears The Br uins host their annual teddy bear/toque toss during Friday’s game against the Kelowna Rockets. After the first goal, fans are encouraged to shower the ice with teddy bears and toques, all of which will be donated to Chilliwack Community Services.

Cascades send Wolfs packing
T
he University of the Fraser Valley Cascades women’s basketball team swept the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack thanks to strong performances by a handful of Chilliwack products. Chilliwack senior secondary product Nicole Wierks grabbbed an offensive board and scored the winning points in the final minute to give the Cascades a nailbiting 65-64 victory Friday night. The rebound was one of nine on the night for Wierks, while Courtney Bartel, also of Chilliwack, scored nine points in the win. UFV won by a healthier margin the following night as they beat TRU 70-55 to sweep

the two-game series. Chilliwack’s Alyssa Gaukel led all Cascades with 14 points while Bartel added 11 of her own. Sarah Wierks—Nicole’s sister—scored nine points and registered a team-leading nine rebounds. “I thought we really picked up our defensive intensity, prepared better for their physical play, shared the ball, and obviously we had a number of players making shots from the perimeter,” said UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer. “We need to keep this momentum going.”

Lion-taming Giants advance to finals . . . again T
On defence the team was without middle linebacker Wyatt Uzick after the first quarter and relied heavily on the leadership of Brendan Piegsa. Piegsa returned an interception for a 25-yard touchdown early in the first quarter and had several tackles. Defensive tackle Jaren Lengert led the team with five tackles and two sacks while Tyler Kermode and Colin Campbell, both playing in relief of Uzick, contributed three tackles each. Corners Adam Phillips and Evan McCracken also had solid games, each contributing several tackles and a sack, while providing good coverage to limit the Kelowna passing game. Safety Bradley Langlois knocked down two passes whild defensive halfback Terry Richely had a crucial touchdownsaving tackle as the Lions attempted to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter.
he Chilliwack Giants are on their way to only the second peewee provincial final in Chilliwack minor football history. The Giants defeated the Kelowna Lions 44-30 Saturday at Townsend Park to advance to the final. “We have come a long way from mid-October,” said Giants head coach Laurie Smith. “We had lost three in a row and were looking a little lost. We just brought the boys together and said our success will not come from individual efforts but from a team, and we started playing like a team rather than a bunch of individuals. We stopped giving out game awards and focused on team execution.” Since that third loss, the Giants have rattled off six wins in a row to advance to the final. “To see the transformation from then to now, anyone would be proud of this group,” said Smith. The Giants rolled up almost 400 yards of offence against the Lions defence, but needed all of it in the face of a very determined Lions team that kept coming back from substantial deficits. As per usual, the yards gained were a direct result of an outstanding offensive line including Gibson Hardie, Devan Voss, Gaven Streifel, Jake Troyan and

Adam Phillips makes a stunning open field tackle to drop the Lion carrier behind the line of scrimmage on Saturday. Noah Chand. “Troyan’s pull blocking and Hardie’s cut blocking were the keys to success on our power” noted offensive coach Andy Uzick, “this group has been together for almost six months and the execu-
tion shows that experience.” Running back Emilio Pineda led the way Saturday for the Giants with 23 carries, 225 yards and two touchdowns while Ethan Mastin and Gabe Mannes also scored. Michael

Lengert caught a short touchdown pass from Spencer Breslin in the fourth quarter. Mannes had five carries for 103 yards and one touchdown and Breslin made four of six converts.
◗ The Giants will face the Coquitlam Wildcats Sunday at 11 a.m. at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley for the provincial championship. A win would make them the first peewee team from Chilliwack to ever win the provincial final. The last time a Chilliwack team played for the peewee provincial championship was 2002.

Letters LETTERS, from page 9 When did it become so politically correct to lose sight of our own traditions and cultures? When are we going to stop trying to please everyone else and go back to what this country’s traditions use to be? I am greatly offended that our elected government and our school board have all but exiled our own culture and traditions in the name of being “politically correct.” My question to both Katharin Midzain and Kirsten Brandreth is this: why do you feel that calling the vacation in December “Christmas Holidays” is a step backwards? Do you go out and buy Christmas presents for your family and friends, or do you buy winter presents? Do you put up a Christmas tree or a winter tree? We are celebrating the birth of Christ. That is what the “vacation” in December was called when I was child. It is what my parents and grandparents called it when they were children. And I am willing to bet it was called that when they were children too. Again, I am not prejudiced towards other cultures or religions; I am just tired of “political correctness” pushing us towards losing our country’s traditions and religious beliefs. S. James Chilliwack
Letters
Majority simply bullied minority Editor: Your newspaper may be giddy with glee over the school board’s decision to change the name of Winter Vacation to the overtly Christian Christmas vacation (“School board takes a walk on the wild side’ as it decides to call holiday break what it really is”), but there are many people who will not be. The trustees who voted on this motion were all elected to the board of a public school district. As such they are required to protect the rights of all students, not just those who share their faith. Christianity is the religion of the majority of Canadians. It is clearly the religion of every trustee who voted in favour of this motion. As such there is no “bravery” involved in passing this motion. It is a blatant example of a majority imposing its views on the minority. Thank you to Tyler Olsen (“Bickering Over Semantics”) for recognizing that Christmas and Winter Vacation are
two separate concepts. Dec. 25 is Christmas day. No one has ever suggested that we should change its name to “Present Day,” or “Santa Day,” or “December 25 Holiday,” in order to be more inclusive. Dec. 25 will always be Christmas, and people can choose whether or not they wish to celebrate it. However, Winter Vacation is two weeks long. It includes three statutory holidays: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day. There is no logical reason to change the name to Christmas Vacation; it would make as much sense (as in no sense) to change it to Boxing Day Vacation or New Year’s Vacation. In March we have Spring Break. Usually we also have Easter Weekend in April. However, Easter occasionally falls within Spring Break; in those years we do not suddenly change the name of Spring Break to Easter Break. Using the term Winter Vacation does not belittle or oppress Christians in any way. I am confused by the fact that some Christians feel oppressed unless their religion is given more attention than everyone else’s (see Friday’s letters to the editor for evidence of this). We live in a country where we all have the freedom to practise religion as we see fit; it makes Christians no less free if we name our public school holidays in such a way as to

Editor: I attended the 2010 Remembrance Day service at the new Garrison Crossing cenotaph in Sardis. What wonderful weather, what a great turnout of people, young and old, what a fine facility. What a poor service. It is disrespectful to those we are remembering, to have the lament and the military bugle calls being played on a “CD.” Is this really the best we can do? Is it not possible to arrange for a live piper and bugler? In the whole of the Lower Mainland could the organizers not find two people who could perform this important military tradition? There were many young people attending who have never seen the pipes or a military bugle being played. What a pity. Is this yet another casualty of the electronic world, or is the CD just the easy, least effort way to remember? There should be a raised platform for the live performer’s so that people can witness and enjoy a small piece of military history. Brian Meachin Chilliwack

Born July 31, 1928 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and passed peacefully on November 28, 2010 at the George Derby Centre in Burnaby, BC. He is survived by his second wife Ruby, his four children Heather, David, Rob and Laura, grandsons Andrew and Arden, nephew Grant and nieces Pat and Sandra. With his older brother Bob, Barry spent his early years in Manitou, Manitoba. He joined the Army Reserves at age 14 and later served for three years as a commissioned officer. He went to teacher’s college and earned his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Manitoba. He married Jody in 1957 and they made a home for their growing family in Chilliwack, BC. As a teacher, he shared his love of history and geography and pioneered a new Law 12 curriculum at Chilliwack Senior Secondary. He enjoyed many kinds of music, especially the big band sound. On occasion he played his trumpet for Remembrance Day services. Jody and Barry divorced in 1986 but they remained friends. Barry married “his Ruby” in 1994 and together they traveled to the UK and lived in Abbotsford and Calgary before returning to Chilliwack. Barry made friends easily, even in his last months. The dear staff members at the George Derby Centre knew him fondly as ‘Cam’. He loved a good limerick and his sense of humour and joy in singing were gifts to everyone around him. A Celebration of Life will be held at Hampton House on Hodgins Avenue in Chilliwack on Sunday, December 5 at 3PM. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Alzheimer Society of BC. On-line condolences at: www.remembering.ca
