Husband reunited with ring

f they keep it up, the Fraser Valley Treasure Hunters are going to have to start wearing superhero capes and masks. The growing group of local folks who love to go around with their metal detectors finding lost items recently reunited a Greendale man with his recently deceased wife’s lost wedding ring.

Treasure hunters brought in to find lost wedding ring that grieving family thought was gone forever The ring went missing three years ago while Jacqueline Toop was gardening in her yard in Greendale. Jacqueline and her husband Richard looked hard for the valuable ring, but it was never found. Jacqueline unexpectedly passed away in 2012 and the ring was, pre-

sumably, lost forever. The couple’s daughter Sarah later made a connection with a member of the Fraser Valley Treasure Hunters who said the club would love to come see if they could find the ring. Mark Lewis of the group told the Times that the “hunt” was planned for

more than a year. Because the property was small, only six hunters were allowed to participate, a group chosen by raffle among the 63 members. On March 8, they headed to the Toops. They broke up the yard into See THE RING, Page 6

Cultus trying to make beach more accessible

ultus Lake is a popular summer destination, but for those in a wheelchair, accessing main beach is next to impossible. That should all change as the park board has adopted a number of recommendations to increase accessibility to those with disabilities. Starting with improved signage and upgraded parking stalls, there will be an pathway built from the Main Beach parking lot to the beach. Further enhancements in the long-term include a cement landing area to provide for universal entry into the water, and upgrades to the public bathrooms and change area. “In recognition of the needs of all visitors to the park, and in light of our increasingly aging population, the board has made considerable effort to assist those with physical disabilities,” park board chair Sacha Peter said.

printing hours to Monday to Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. starting next week. A hardware upgrade to the detachment’s electronic fingerprint scanner should streamline the process as well. RCMP officials say the Ministry of Justice didn’t warn them about the extra volume of fingerprinting that would be coming their way after a change to the province’s Criminal Records Review Program in November. “Before January, we never saw letters from the B.C. Ministry of Justice,” Chilliwack RCMP information officer Jim Flom told the Times Monday. “It was like this big surge in January and February, but it’s begun to taper.” Since 2010, everyone who works with children, the elderly or the disabled has been subject to a fingerprinting requirement (called a vulnerable sector check) if they share a birthdate and gender with a pardoned sex offender. The process has been designed to weed out pardoned sex offend-

he Chilliwack RCMP has made changes to its fingerprinting process to accommodate teachers who have to be fingerprinted because they share a gender and birthdate with pardoned sex offenders. Since January, the detachment has seen a wave of teachers who have been sent letters from the B.C. Ministry of Justice, essentially telling them they need to get fingerprinted if they want to keep their jobs. Chilliwack Teachers Association president Clint Johnston told the Times in January the union had received numerous complaints from teachers worried about the letters and frustrated by the $80 in fees and the fact that fingerprinting is only available at the RCMP detachment during the middle of the school day. Local Mounties say they can’t do anything about the requirement itself or the fees—$55 for the city and $25 for the receiver general of Canada—but they have decided to shift their finger-

RCMP responds to better accommodate teachers

ers who’ve changed their names and might be working (or trying to get work) with vulnerable populations. Until January of this year, however, B.C. teachers seemed to have been exempt. A B.C. Ministry of Justice official told the Times that was because B.C.’s Criminal Records Review Program had suspended the checks in response to extreme processing backlogs in Ottawa. With digital fingerprinting now more widely available, the spokesperson said, the backlogs have been almost eliminated and the checks “resumed” Nov. 30, 2013. When the ministry began sending out letters, however, they surprised school officials, the teachers’ union, the RCMP and, most of all, teachers, many of whom had never heard of the requirement. “Everybody who comes in here feels uncomfortable with getting letters from the BC Ministry of Justice,” Flom said.

Local RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen attributes that unease to the fact most teachers have had little to do with the police. “There’s that anxiety there, and then coupled with the fact that they have to be fingerprinted now for their employment is a very anxious thing,” he said. In response, local Mounties have tried to make the process as efficient and unintimidating as possible. Flom, who takes the prints, makes every effort to get clients smiling. The detachment’s electronic live scanner means there’s no messy ink. And a recent upgrade allows for people with good prints (fingerprints deteriorate with age and certain kinds of manual labour) to give just three quick presses on an electronic pad— their two thumbs together and their four fingers together on each hand— instead of having each finger rolled separately. For people with a clean record, the turnaround time for a vulnerable-sector check is about two weeks.

Isolation the only answer BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

he Fraser Health Authority’s (FHA) chief medical health officer isn’t interested in debating the merits of vaccination with the ultra-orthodox religious community in Chilliwack caught up in another infectious disease outbreak—he just wants them to stay home. “The message is, we respect your belief system, please try and minimize the impact on the community by isolating yourself if you’re sick,” Dr. Paul Van Buynder told the Times Tuesday. Last week, Fraser Health alerted the public to a measles outbreak at a school in Chilliwack in “a community with traditionally low immunization rates.” The health authority didn’t name the school (Rosedale’s Mt. Cheam Christian school) or the religious community (the Reformed Congregation of North America) but said two confirmed cases had been reported and health officials were following up with dozens more. By the time it closed two days early for spring break Monday, the K-12 school on Yale Road was dealing with up to 100 cases of the highly infectious disease, according to Van Buynder. He said Fraser Health found out about the measles well into the outbreak from a family with nine children, seven of whom came down with the disease.

“The last thing we want is a whole batch of them with measles getting on airplanes because you actually spread it to the whole plane if you do that.” Dr. Paul Van Buynder “This is a community with a belief system against vaccination,” Van Buynder said, “and they don’t tend to let us know. What I know about this outbreak is that it’s again linked to the outbreak in Holland. It’s in the orthodox Protestant community. There were a group of people who visited in late January to Holland, to a family that had measles. They’ve come back and become sick. It’s now spreading dramatically across the school, and by the time we find out about it, it’s pretty well established.” The Reformed Congregation of North America in Chilliwack, which is closely tied to the ultra-orthodox Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Holland, has been vulnerable to infectious diseases ranging from polio in the 1970s and mumps in 2008, to whooping cough two years ago. Its members reject vaccination on the grounds that immunizing their children challenges the will of God. For Van Buynder that makes for a whole different conversation than the one he has with people who

reject vaccination because they’re worried about adverse side effects. “This is a different group, and we need to deal with it differently,” he said. He said he doesn’t think pointing fingers or even passing a law to force people to get immunized would make much difference, so Fraser Health works to provide care as best it can. “We respect the religious beliefs of these people and that they won’t get vaccinated,” Van Buynder said. “So what we try and do is minimize the spread from that community into the general community, and particularly to the children under the age of one who may become infected when they’re too young to be vaccinated and who are very likely to end up in hospital with very severe consequences.” With spring break imminent last week, health officials’ biggest concern was that families infected with the disease would travel. “The last thing we want is a whole batch of them with measles getting on airplanes because you actually spread it to the whole plane if you do that,” Van Buynder said. Conversations with church and school officials, however, have been fruitful. “There have been some really positive steps so far from the point of view of cancellation of trips during spring break and other activities to protect the public, and that’s what we’re really trying to do,” Van Buynder said.

Businesses banding together to battle new recycling system

n alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC (MMBC) recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board. MMBC, an industry stewardship group, is poised to take responsibility for curbside blue box collection— with more containers and material types collected than before—while charging businesses for the recycling of the packaging and paper they generate. But it’s been in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers. The battle took a new turn Monday, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) and eight other associations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria. CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees. “This is public policy run amok,” he said. “We are asking British Columbians to talk to the B.C. government to push the pause button on its reckless and red tape-laden program.” B.C. Agriculture Council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal of Chilliwack said farmers can’t readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic clamshells, because retailers insist that’s what consumers want. “We have to wear the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. “It goes directly against growing agriculture.” Canadian Newspaper Association chairman Peter Kvarnstrom, who is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned the the new system will be “catastrophic” to B.C. community and daily newspapers, resulting in job losses in an already challenged industry and reduced service to communities. The opposition groups say they support the aim of the program—to make generators of packaging pay to recycle it—but they dispute the fees and say multinational consum-

Q: I have noticed that my skin is looking dull and I even have some sun spots that have appeared. What can I do? A: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 – 5 treatments are necessary. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results. You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results.

Cold Case Team feels it has solved missing-man mystery

early six years after Michael Scullion went missing from an Agassiz-Harrison bar on April 10, 2008, a 45-year-old Rosedale man has been arrested and charged with his murder. Richard MacInnes, 45, was arrested on Friday and now faces charges of second-degree murder and indignity to human remains. The arrest was announced at an RCMP Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) press conference in

Rosedale man facing second-degree murder charges Surrey Monday. The 30-year-old Scullion, a Chilliwack resident, was last seen after an altercation outside the Harrison Crossroads Inn on the Lougheed Highway in Agassiz. Later that same day, he failed to show up for work or pick up his daughter, and his family reported him missing the following day. A miss-

ing-person’s investigation began by the Agassiz RCMP General Investigation Section, and within a few days, investigators determined Scullion’s disappearance was likely the result of foul play. IHIT took over the investigation on April 15, 2008 and worked with the Agassiz RCMP to determine the circumstances of Scullion’s disappearance.

IHIT’s Cold Case Team took over the investigation four years later, in March 2012. Scullion’s body has never been recovered. “In this circumstance, our Cold Case investigators were able to obtain sufficient evidence to support that Michael Scullion was no longer alive, and there was no other reasonable explanation

for him being missing other than him being the victim of a homicide,” Sgt. Adam MacIntosh of IHIT said in a press release Monday. After the arrest was announced, Lou Scullion, Scullion’s father thanked RCMP and IHIT for “never giving up.” “I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of my family to say thank-you to the many people who have shown their love, support and understanding to help us deal with this horrible situation,” he said.

Security officer stabbed in leg

Walmart loss-prevention officer was hospitalized Friday afternoon after being stabbed in the leg by an alleged shoplifter. Police say two loss-prevention officers at the Eagle Landing Walmart were in the middle of trying to arrest the shoplifter at about 3:50 p.m., when the man produced a knife and stabbed one of the officers in the leg. Despite the injur y, the officers were able to detain the shoplifter until police arrival. The injured loss-prevention officer sustained a minor, non-life threatening injury and was transported to hospital

for treatment. The alleged shoplifter, 42-year-old Shane Garret Appleby of Maple Ridge, was arrested at the scene and charged with assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and theft under $5,000. He will be held in custody until his first court appearance Monday. “We are thankful that the loss-prevention officer did not sustain life-threatening injuries in this matter,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said in a press release. “Law enforcement at all levels poses inherent safety issues.”

s Chilliwack evolves and expands, prepare to see more and more tension between what developers want, what our city “fathers” think is best for us, what residents want and, of course, what is possible. Whenever a debate arises over a commercial or residential development in the city, it’s important to keep in perspective what municipal leaders want for the community and just how much control they actually have. I was struck by a similarity (if tenuous, but bear with me) between the recent controversies surronding a rezoning application for a hazardous waste facility, and a temporary-use permit (TUP) application to allow for a youth homeless centre in a commercial building. Yes, the first is the much-loathed if equally misunderstood Aevitas Inc. application, approved by city council, to rezone a Cannor Road property to recycle, among other things, transformer oil with PCBs and mercury-filled lamps, all near the banks of the Fraser River. The second is the temporary-use permit, now withdrawn, to allow for a version of Abbotsford’s Cyrus Centre for homeless and at-risk youth to take over the space currently occupied by Decades Coffee Club downtown. A much-needed recycling facility and a much-needed youth shelter—both in terrible locations, so say the critics.

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SIMPLY A MUSING Even the most vociferous opponents of both proposals, however, and there are many, suggested just how important and needed both facilities are. “Just not in that location!” was the battle cry of environmental groups, First Nations and recreational angling organizations regarding the Aevitas proposal. We need to recyle these materials but why not find a location farther away from the river? “The proposed site is simply too close to the river,” said World Rivers Day founder Mark Angelo. Fans of Decades, along with those interested in downtown revitalization, said something similar this week about the Cyrus Centre plan. There is a serious void in services of this kind for troubled teenagers, but why push out a successful local business to do so downtown? How does this possibly fit with the city’s vision for downtown revitalization? In both cases, Mayor Sharon Gaetz and, to a lesser degree, the rest of council, have received considerable negative feedback on

social media about these supposed decisions made. City hall can create an Official Community Plan, it can facilitate development with land assembly and low taxes, and it can encourage the business community and other organizations to do what is seen to be best for Chilliwack’s future. And while important, this must feel like an exercise in herding cats. No one at city hall decided 200 metres from the most productive salmon fishing river in the world was a great place for a hazardous waste recycling facility. Aevitas picked the property; city council just decided the already industrially-zoned property was a suitable location for the plant. And no one at city hall decided a successful downtown coffee shop should be evicted to make way for a homeless shelter. That was City Life Church and the Cyrus Centre, who have since responded to the backlash and decided to look for another location. City hall never even saw this application, which may be hard to understand if you’ve read the hundreds of comments on the subject online. So while municipal governments cannot control what higher levels do, nor what applications and proposals it receives, the cat herders at city hall end up bearing the brunt of the criticism. This isn’t always fair.

ature deficit disorder is a term that is gaining traction, especially among nature enthusiasts and environmental activists such as David Suzuki. Author Richard Louv coined the term in a book entitled Last Child in the Woods. The book claims to explore the direct link between the absence of nature in children’s lives to rising rates of obesity, attention disorders and depression. Unfortunately, all of the links are based on correlations and not direct links. The scientific evidence regarding the development of childhood obesity, summarized by a team led by Georgia Papoutsi, published in the Journal of Economic Surveys in 2012, points to a myriad of factors, from an increase in the consumption of softdrinks, busing students to school, a decline in physical activity, socio-economic status and a host of other factors. Likewise with the cause of attention disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. According to a 2013 review led by Anita Thapar published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, a myriad of factors can potentially lead to the development of attention disorders, both genetic and non-genetic, none involved the lack of communing with nature. Nonetheless, being out in nature has many benefits. For example, a 2006 study by Kuo and Taylor, published in the American Journal of Public Health found that subjects with attention disorders showed fewer symptoms of the disorder after spending time in nature. This shouldn’t be a surprise as most people will say communing with nature has a calming effect. Mother Nature does not have the ability to prevent obesity, depression or attention disorders, she can only attenuate the symptoms, and that, she does very well.

Mayor’s tax comparison not exactly fair

Editor: This is not the time for the mayor and council to pat their backs, just because we have lower taxes than other out-ofcontrol, big-spending cities, which keep digging deeper into taxpayers’ pockets. This mayor and council are out of control and are spending our money like a bunch of drunken sailors in a foreign port. Why an increase of 2.44 per cent? It may look like a small amount to some people, but not for people on fixed income. A few percentage points every year keeps adding up. The bank does not even pay that much in yearly interest. It’s not a problem for our council to spend millions on an unnecessary roundabout (a green light similar to Sumas and Tyson, would have worked just as well). I drive through there every day and it’s not a problem. Or, the stupidity of buying land downtown or spending $190,000

It’s easy to balance the budget, when you can dig into everybody’s pockets to get the balance. Every year I hear the same thing: “It’s just a small amount and it’s much less that other places.” Why is the city getting involved in real estate, when investors won’t? Some of the reasons they don’t are probably because of all the silly rules this city has made, like dictating the colour that is acceptable for your building or make you pay extra if you don’t live in Chilliwack, but mostly because of the large amount of taxes business has to pay. If investors can’t make a go of it, why does the city think they can do a better job? This is not your mandate and please keep my tax money out of it. Most cities that have tried it have lost millions of taxpayer money doing it—just look at Vancouver. Why can’t we get a one per cent decrease in taxes? There is no reason why that could not happen, if we elect the right people for council. Wake up taxpayer and participate at the next election. We need a tax revolt, in this city and province. The lying Liberals say they do not raise taxes. I just received my gas bill for $50.78 worth of gas, and then added the delivery charges, carbon tax and GST for a total of $125.14. Thank you Liberal government. I can’t wait to get my hydro bill and my ICBC renewal, every time I do, I remember the Liberals. So for me, to balance my own budget, what can I do? I guess I can cut down on food, or maybe skip on my prescriptions. Maybe I could not license my car. Or, just don’t pay my taxes; I just don’t have any other pockets that I can dig into like the city or the province. Lou Raboin Chilliwack

City will recoup its investment Editor: I was very happy to see the article on city hall’s plans to continue with the property assembly of the “Empress” Block south and east of Five Corners. Chilliwack, like many other cities in North America, has

gone through a transformation. Starting with the building of the malls near the freeway in 1975, the centre of the city began to shift away from the traditional downtown core, eventually leaving the downtown somewhat vacant and depressed. Many discussions by many different groups have happened over the years regarding how to fix downtown. It appeared to many of us that the epicentre of all things wrong was the Empress Hotel and what it had become over the years. A small group of us got together to purchase the Empress, with the idea of selling the property to a developer, and moving the liquor licences to other locations, with the hopes that this would help jump-start other development in the area. We were working closely with the city on this at the time and they had indicated that they would also be willing to sell the other nine properties within this block that they owned to enable a larger-scale development. Through Sotheby’s Realty we found a developer that wanted to do a large scale multi-use development, but would require the entire block to do so. This was to be a beautifully designed project with commercial storefront on the bottom, office space above that and three residential towers above that. Many properties in the surrounding area started to change hands in anticipation of this project moving ahead. In that six-month period, we were able to get almost all of the other property owners in the block onside, but in the 11th hour, one of the property owners that owned several of the properties, more than doubled his agreed to price and collapsed the deal. Mayor Clint Hames asked CEPCO to lend a hand and another developer was found that was wanting to do a halfblock development that would have looked much like the one in the commercial/residential areas of Garrison. After several months of negotiations a deal was struck, but surprisingly, the developer backed out of this at the last minute. Shortly after this the market collapsed, and any hope of a big development was to be postponed for a few years. It was decided that the city was in a better position to do the block assembly, so we sold the Empress to them for demolition and moved the liquor store to another location. In closing, and just to set the

Department at 604.793.2810. Editor: Re: Teachers need to set a good example (Tom Brewer letter, Times, March 6). It’s difficult to tell if Mr. Brewer is angry at teachers or little kids, but he has clearly missed the target of his rant. He appears to be addressing an incident that occurred to him where children on a field trip neglected to give him the right-of-way on a narrow, snowy sidewalk which in his mind shows that kids are disrespectful because teachers are disinterested and greedy. Respect is a social value that does not start at school. Teachers are an easy target because today’s youth are exposed to fewer and fewer institutions which have the mandate to instill values, such as religion, family and various boys and girls groups. For example, fewer parents attend church on a regular basis than when Mr. Brewer was young so the children are not learning Judeo/Christian values and morals as in the past. Plus, a typical family is quite different now with both parents needing to work (when there are two parents at home) leaving the daycare worker (bless their souls) to try to instill family values that the parents can only hope their children will receive. As well, many organizations for youth like Scouts, which not only teach life skills but also provide opportunities for youth to practise morals and values, aren’t esteemed as much now-a-days, so attendance is dropping yearly. Society might still want our children to grow up learning values, but society (all of us collectively) is taking away or devaluing the very institutions that teach these values. With churches emptying out, families breaking or stressed to the max, and extra-curricular organizations disappearing, we expect the education system to take up the slack and do what all these failing institutions used to. I wonder how much longer before teachers reach their breaking point. Glen Sallenbach Chilliwack

Editor: In a recent news story, the mayor is quoted as saying the 2.44 per cent increase in property taxes in Chilliwack this year is the lowest annual increase since she was elected to council. Not so. Ms. Gaetz was elected as a councillor in 1996, a year when the tax increase was “0.” In 1997 the increase was 1.85 per cent, and in 1998 . . . 1.80 per cent. It’s also important to point out that the 2.44 per cent increase this year is more than double the current rate of inflation, which was 0.9 per cent for 2013. Every time the rate of property taxation increase significantly exceeds the rate of inflation, the mayor’s fingers just edge a little deeper into your wallet. Keep in mind that all the new homes and businesses being built in the community also create additional annual new tax revenue. Curiously this is never highlighted. When you combine this new tax revenue with the tax rate increase, I predict the result is a significant increase of more than $2 million in spending, which is another useful way for taxpayers to understand what’s going on. I am aware that at least one city in the Lower Mainland is passing along a small tax decrease this year. The mayor also delights in reminding us all that we enjoy low rates of taxation in Chilliwack. While that may still be true to some degree, it is important to compare apples to apples. Garbage collection is not included in our property tax bills in Chilliwack, but is collected with our water and sewer bills. In other communities, garbage collection is simply paid for through property taxation. So, for a true comparison, the mayor should add the cost of garbage collection to the tax bill to arrive at a fair comparison with other communities. John Les Chilliwack

Faith Today BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian

enjamin Franklin often quoted the great preacher, George Whitefield. Whitefield was a bit of a rebel in his day, choosing to preach in open amphitheatres rather than from an indoor pulpit. He would often position himself downwind so his voice would carry further. Up to 20,000 people would come to hear him preach, and Franklin observed that Whitefield’s voice could be heard a half-mile away. How true that was we don’t know. But just imagine, if some people possess such voices, how great God’s voice must be? The Psalmist describes His voice in Psalm 29: 3 and 4; “The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the

CHILLIWACK TIMES

Do you hear God’s whisper? Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.” Don’t we sometimes feel that if God’s voice could only come from heaven like thunder, people in the world would listen for a change? But we have to understand the Psalmist used a metaphor to affirm that God is almighty and powerful in His being. The truth is that God speaks in a soft voice almost like a whisper. God doesn’t choose to compete for our attention against the noises of the world. Isn’t it true? There is the assumption that the louder the world’s message could be brought across, the better the chance that people will get it. That’s not how God operates. He doesn’t fret when we ignore His

voice. He is patient and He continues to speak to us in whispers rather than shouts. When was the last time you heard God’s whisper? Perhaps we want to point at God and say, “You never speak to me. Why do You go to others, but avoid me?” But, we can never say that. The truth is that we are so occupied with other things that we don’t listen to God. He wants to communicate with every willing heart. You see, we have to open ourselves to His Spirit and meditate on the greatness of God and wait on Him to speak to us. It’s one of our life disciplines we have to work on for the rest of our lives. We have to be quiet before our God. How possible is it to wait and be quiet in our lives of busy schedules where

our days are so hectic that we don’t even have time for ourselves? Failure to hear the whispers of God in your life can leave a devastating affect. His whispers change lives. His whispers could change your destiny. If you are not attuned to the whispers of God, you could miss His will. You could marry the wrong one. You could miss the right job. You could spend a good portion of your life on a rabbit trail God never intended you to be on. God’s whisper might be something you are waiting for at this point in your life. You might go through a time of uncertainty and you seek discernment. Then it’s the right time to be quiet before God. There is a great message from 1 Kings 19 from Elijah’s situation that tells us that God will give us the

solution for our lives we need. Jezebel threatened to have him killed and he fled to Mount Sinai where he had an encounter with God. Elijah was in a cave and there was a strong wind; there was an earthquake; there was fire, but God wasn’t in any of those. There came a gentle whisper, and from the whisper God gave him the assurance that He still had the support of 7,000 people in the Northern kingdom. That was a wonderful affirmation he received from God. We too have to wait, and God will come at the right time and whisper to us how He is going to bring the solution we are longing for. As we are waiting, let’s listen carefully. God might whisper sooner than we think. ◗ Rev.

Sarah Wierks had 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Nicole Wierks had 10 points. “It’s unfortunate we didn’t have enough in the tank tonight,” Tuchscherer said after the game. “The girls are disappointed, but hopefully they see the accomplishment of a silver medal in our tough division.” The Cascades now face McGill in the national quarter-final Friday in Windsor, Ont. A win would put them into a semifinal against either Wilfrid Laurier or top-seed Windsor.

with 13 points. “The girls really locked into the game plan tonight and executed at both ends of the floor,” head coach Al Tuchscherer said after the game. The win earned the Cascades their first-ever appearance in the Canada West final Saturday, but the team couldn’t muster another win to take the gold, falling 67-56 to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies. The game as a whole was decided in the third quarter as the Cascades were outscored 21-12, falling behind 51-46 despite entering the quarter with a six-point lead. Nataliia Gavryliuk was the most potent player for UFV, scoring 21

he University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades women’s basketball team is headed into the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national championships as the number-five seed this week after after winning silver at the Canada West finals Saturday. The Cascades were in tough in the first game of the Canada West finals Friday, facing a University of Alberta squad that hadn’t lost a game since Nov. 8. While all the UFV women played like champions, it was a jaw-dropping 29-point effort from Aieisha Luyken that truly propelled the Cascades to victory. Ultimately, the game was a defensive battle between the two best defensive teams in the league. The Cascades held the edge through much of the contest with a suffocating lockdown on Alberta’s post play, forcing 24 turnovers and a 15-57 Panda field-goal ratio. Unfortunately the Cascades paid a price in five-foul disqualifications (including Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks and Columbia Valley’s Kayli Sartori). The Cascades’ deep bench became a real asset down the stretch as 10 players were given playing time. After Luyken, the Cascades leader scorers were Nataliia Gavryliuk with nine points, and Sartori and both the Wierks sisters each with seven points. The Pandas were led by Andria Carlyon with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Saskia Van Ginhoven

UFV men claim Kwantlen Cup

Valley Huskers kicker Dan Erickson is one of 15 British Columbia Football Conference (BCFC) players heading to a BC Lions Spring Evaluation Camp next month. This will be the third year the Lions have opened their doors for BCFC players to show off their talents. So far, Erickson is the lone Husker to be invited to the camp, which will include five players from the Langley Rams, four from the Okanagan Sun, three from the defending Cullen Cup Champion Vancou-

Colton O’Neill, Sahib Phagura, Ryan Liddiard, Daniel Davidson and Dylan Jordan all buried their penalty kicks for the Cascades, and Ortiz made a big save on one of the UBC players to win the game for UFV. “A fantastic performance and result against the two-time CIS national champions,” Cascades coach Alan Errington said. “Well deserved, on the day. Even though the players showed signs of fatigue towards the end of the match, they worked through the pain to secure the win.” ◗ The Cascades will continue their preseason in the University of Victoria’s Keg Classic tournament March 22 and 23.

UBC had few chances, thanks to a well-disciplined performance from all players. Colton O’Neill gave UFV the lead in the 83rd minute with a header in the six-yard box. But UBC tied the game on a disputed penalty in the 92nd minute. (UFV goalkeeper Mark Village was sent off after he was deemed to have fouled the UBC forward in the penalty area.) Ortiz came in to replace Village in the ensuing penalty shoot-out.

ast September, two-year-old Lilee-Jean Putt lost her lifelong battle with brain cancer. Lilee-Jean loved to run and dance and to be outside, according to her aunt Carolyn Putt, and this gave the family an idea. On May 3, teams will honour little Lilee-Jean’s spirit and race around the downtown participating in Chilliwack’s Amazing Chase for Children’s, an Amazing-Race style competition to raise money for pediatric cancer research at BC Children’s Hospital. “We want to make it just about fun,” Carolyn said.

While there will be prizes for teams that finish first and have the best costumes, the race is meant to be fun so participants don’t need to be in great physical shape and you don’t even have to run.

Volunteers are also needed for the registration table, challenges and for the barbecue afterwards. The event will go on rain or shine. Cost is $30 for adults and $15 for children, every penny of which is to go to BC Childrens, which is why community and business support is needed.

What you need to know about the Trans Mountain Expansion Project After nearly two years of conversations, studies and planning, Trans Mountain filed a Facilities Application with the National Energy Board (NEB) in December 2013 for its proposed $5.4 billion expansion project. Respectful and authentic dialogue begins with transparency and a common understanding of the facts. As we move forward in the regulatory process, we are committed to making sure that people have access to the facts about our proposal and the process. The following is aimed at correcting misinformation being spread by individuals and groups in your community. CLAIM

CLAIM

Land will be expropriated; people will lose their homes.

The route for the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project has already been determined.

REALITY Trans Mountain does not have the right to expropriate land. We have established and maintained relationships for the last 60 years with 2,200 landowners, as well as with neighbours and communities along the pipeline corridor. Our goal is to treat all landowners fairly and equitably. In the unlikely event that we cannot reach an agreement with a landowner, the NEB can grant right of entry to allow us to build and maintain the pipeline, but not to expropriate or take away any land or homes from owners.

CLAIM The opportunity for public input into the project is limited.

REALITY In our Facilities Application, we’ve identified a proposed pipeline corridor, and in some cases an alternative. These corridors are wider than what the permanent rightof-way will be. They provide the flexibility to respond to stakeholder input or to place the pipe so as to minimize local community or environmental impacts. A final right-ofway will be determined only after regulatory approval and during the detailed design phase. It is important to note that 73 per cent of the proposed expanded pipeline will follow the existing right-of-way where the Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating safely for 60 years. An additional 17 per cent of the proposed expansion will follow existing utility corridors and only the remaining 10 per cent would require greenfield right-of-way.

REALITY To date, we’ve engaged with thousands of individuals through 63 open houses and workshops along the pipeline and marine corridors and hundreds of meetings between project team members and stakeholder groups. Our work continues, with opportunities for continued dialogue throughout the process. The NEB will hold a public hearing on the Application before it makes a decision, allowing people or groups who have been granted permission to participate by the NEB a chance to raise issues, present evidence, test evidence and provide their input.

We want to ensure that no voice goes unheard and no concern goes unaddressed. If you hear more claims that you’d like us to address, please send them to us. Please visit our website or contact us if you have questions or would like to learn more about the proposed project.

CLAIM Property values near the pipeline have already declined and will continue to drop. REALITY Along our existing pipeline route, which has been in place for 60 years, there is no measurable difference between properties with or without an easement. However, we appreciate that land devaluation is a concern. Looking ahead to the new pipeline, companies are required by the NEB act to compensate landowners for any new easement and pay for any impacts or inconvenience associated with the new pipeline. Included within the determination of compensation is any change in the value of the property before and after the pipeline is built.

For more information about the regulatory process and how to get involved, go to the NEB website at www.neb-one.gc.ca > Major Applications and Projects > Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC - Trans Mountain Expansion.

“i want my grandchildren to work here. i’m voting yes.” trish parsons, Kitimat

“With all the ups and downs over the years, it’s been tough for Kitimat. We need some stability. We need to know that everything’s going to be good for a long time, not just a year or two. The Northern Gateway project will bring that stability. I’m glad it’s going to bring jobs, but also training. Wouldn’t it be great if our kids could get more education here, rather than heading off to Vancouver or Calgary? For me, the best thing about living in Kitimat is that you can go hiking or fishing on your way home from work. It’s a special place to live. But without jobs and stability, I worry that my kids and grandkids won’t be able to live here with me. And that’s what I want more than anything. So I’m voting yes.”

Lighting helps set the stage for outdoor fun T

◗ Add decorative elements Just as arbors, pergolas, patios and other outdoor elements help to enhance the style of an outdoor space, so, too, can lighting contribute to a well-designed landscape. Lighting should play up decorative features of a yard and add the ambience that homeowners desire. Step lights make passage safe while also highlighting molding or trim details. An outdoor chandelier can make for a wonderful accent during dinnertime on the deck or under a pergola. Patio lights provide atmosphere as well as illumination for cooking outside.

their outdoor lighting should consider the following tips, courtesy of ALA.

is the season for making changes in and around the home. The arrival of warmer weather renews homeowners’ vigor for various home improvement projects, and many have grand plans for interior and exterior renovations as they prep their living spaces for comfort, beauty and entertaining opportunities. While there are many worthy projects to pursue, adding outdoor lighting to a home can help increase its value and make the home safer and more attractive in the evening hours. According to the American Lighting Association (ALA) , with a few updates to outside lighting, families can make even better use of their homes at night. Adding outdoor lighting is easier and less expensive than many homeowners may know, allowing them to transform an existing patio, deck or pool area into an enjoyable nighttime retreat. Pool parties, dinners on the patio or barbecues with neighbors become even more memorable when outdoor lighting is added or improved. But homeowners who want to install or upgrade

◗ Improve navigation Lighting is typically layered into a room or outdoor space in three ways: overhead, task and ambient. Even outdoors, where there are no typical boundaries and borders, those three layers are necessary. Outdoor overhead lighting should improve visibility on steps, paths and walking surfaces, especially where there’s a bend or an intersection. Task lighting can be used around cooking or gardening areas. Ambient light will cast a comforting glow around any outdoor space. ◗ Enhance security To improve visibility and security, combine a motion detector with a sconce to illuminate dark corners or entryways. Be sure to aim lights away from the door to improve visibility. Lanterns on either side of the door can give a home a warm, welcoming appearance and improve the safety of entryways.

Outdoor lighting can play up the more decorative features of a yard, including flower beds. ◗ Create outdoor rooms Outdoor lighting at the borders of a space is a great way to create barriers, both vertically and horizontally. Lights in a tree create something akin to a chandelier hung in the middle of the sky, and even accent lights in the general area of the edge of a patio, deck or porch

will shine across the space and provide enough of a comfort level for people to understand where things are. ◗ Reduce glare Outdoor lighting that casts a glare can be blinding, as can light that’s too bright. Lighting along paths should be

cast downward, with fixtures that are hooded. A variety of lighting options will create layers, allowing you to add or subtract as necessary. Exterior-safe dimmers also can provide flexible control over the level of light, as can movable fixtures added to a patio or porch.

◗ Enhance views from inside Outdoor lighting can make the view from inside pleasant and enjoyable. Use a variety of lights, including spotlights on trees, lights dotted along pathways and accent lights on unique landscape features, to create an idyllic landscape visible from inside the home. Outdoor lighting enhances functionality of yards and landscapes while making such areas safer for homeowners and their guests once the sun goes down.

These home improvements may lower home value

ome improvements are typically made to improve the functionality and look of a home, but renovations also can increase the value of a home. Certain changes to a home can make it more attractive to prospective buyers, while other renovations may make a home less appealing. For example, a complete overhaul of an outdated kitchen is often a smart financial move, while installing a pool or hot tub may not be worth the cost to homeowners. Separating the good from the bad renovations makes smart financial sense, and homeowners looking to improve their homes’ resale values may want to avoid the following projects.

There is such a thing as doing too much to attract buyers ◗ Bedroom and garage conversions: Changing a room’s traditional function often turns off buyers. For example, turning a garage into a home gym might seem like a great idea for you, but it may not be so appealing to prospective buyers. Buyers can certainly reconvert the space, but they would consider the costs of such a conversion when making their offers on the home. ◗ Stylized colours on trims and rooms: Painting over unappealing colours is a project many homeowners can handle. However, some may be discouraged by a home that has too many bright colours or textures on the walls and trims. Buyers often want homes that are

move-in ready, meaning they can get settled in before undertaking large projects. A living room painted in purple or zebra print may not fit the design scheme of many buyers. Dark colours do not easily disappear, and taping off and painting trimwork or changing it entirely can be equally time-consuming. Stick with neutral colours when selling a home, even if this means giving rooms a new coat of paint before putting your house on the market.

Cello for the masses T with something for everyone. The performance will also involve participation from the local Spirit of our Communities Youth Group, part of the Aboriginal Children and Families Chiefs’ Coalition. Derksen, originally from Northern Alberta, has become a rising star on the Canadian world music scene and received awards for performances that fuse her training as a classical cellist with modern technology and musical influences. The unique compositions she produces intricately braid genres and styles, using looping techniques to construct multiple layers and dimensions of sound and weaving her influences into evocative and original soundscapes. A graduate of the University of British Columbia, Derksen holds a Bachelor of Music in cello performance and shared the title of principal cellist in the university’s Symphony Orchestra. Derksen

has performed in venues ranging from Canada’s symphony halls to European fringe festivals in Italy, Norway and the Czech Republic. “When I started this I was trying to create something with the cello that relates to people other than just classical music fans, and make the cello more relatable to people who have never experienced it before,” she said. “There are many aboriginal communities where people have never heard or experienced the cello, so being an aboriginal person I really wanted to try and bring this classical instrument into that new environment.” Featured alongside Derksen at the Cultural Centre will be dancers who express the emotion and spirit of her music through the traditional dance of the people of the plains. “I think that the dancers really deepen the performance and give it an element of spirituality as well.”

REVIEW ROMEO AND JULIET

New look at an old story

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com rom the moment its creepy child chorus crawls from the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Verona in a tattered white dress to introduce the play, until masked soldiers bark at the audience to disperse at the end, the University of the Fraser Valley’s (UFV) production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, which opened Friday, throws its audience just a little off balance at every turn. Not a bad way to go if you’re trying to get people to take a new look at an old story. The play has never been as much about love as it has been about two kids forced to navigate a hostile world with nothing but their own unmanageable adolescent impulses to guide them, since their wouldbe/should-be adult guides all end up dropping the ball in one way or another. (We know how well that works out.) And UFV director Paul Gelineau’s gritty, Mad-Maxesque adaptation lays bare their doomed struggle in a way that’s sure to resonate with a generation weaned on steering a similarly unguided path through the moral free-for-all of the virtual, online world. Set in a not-too-distant future, after an unspecified disaster has wiped out civilization as we know it, Gelineau’s feuding Montagues and Capulets are part of a volatile new world of urban clan warfare, kept only tenuously in check by a gun-toting, uniformed dictator-Prince (Phaydra-Rae Gagnon) and her shadowy, Gestapo-like forces. The plot unfolds against a shifting industrial wasteland, suggested by a bare-bones set made up of sections of rolling scaffolding up to three storeys high. These are used to nifty effect, as in one scene showing the fatal breakdown in communication between Romeo (Eli Funk) and Friar Laurence (Gabriel Kirkley) about the plan to fake Juliet’s death. The scaffolding also provides a perfect perch for the plays impish chorus (eight-year-old Bethany

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

UFV’s production transforms the Capulet’s ball, where Romeo and Juliet first meet, into a leatherotic grindfest. Myers), whose eerie giggles ring out periodically as if to mock the bestlaid plans of the characters below. The young lovers, played by real-life, fourth-year UFV student couple Funk and Rae MacEachern-Eastwood, first lock eyes across a leatherotic Capulet’s ball filled with nasty throbbing dubstep and grinding couples and threesomes. Funk and MacEachern-Eastwood capture enough of their characters’ giddy naïveté to make for a fun balcony scene and to set their love apart from the sordid and cynical couplings that surround them. (That awkward moment when you walk in on your mom—Lady Capulet, played by Renee Weisgarber—making out with your cousin—Tybalt, played by Dylan Coulter.) But chemistry-wise, the couple falls a little short of projecting those “violent delights” that ultimately account for their tragically idiotic decisions later on. Third-year UFV English major Ashlyn Tegg, meanwhile, is deftly cast as a female Mercutio. Revisioning the traditionally male character as a faux-hawked tough chick with tandem machetes is probably the single most fruitful bit of Gelineau’s post-apocalyptic adaptation.

As a young woman living in a violent new world, his Mercutio is forced to bury her essential vulnerability beneath a veneer of masculine bravado, adding extra poignancy to the character’s emotional instability. (And Tegg acquits herself admirably—both with the machetes and during her brief lapse of sanity in the clutches of Queen Mab.) Third-year theatre student Liam Archer delivers another standout performance as a manly and convincingly violent Lord Capulet. It seems a shame Gelineau’s script keeps him so unidimensional, variously cutting and reassigning his grieving-father lines to Friar Laurence. One gets the sense watching Archer negotiate the transformation from controlling alpha male to devastated dad could have been something special. Geneva Perkins is entertaining as nurse and, more importantly, generates genuine warmth in her relationship with Juliet, making her betrayal—when she tells her young charge to just go ahead and become a polygamist by marrying Paris— appropriately horrifying. Besides solid performances in key roles, the UFV production throws out a few unexpected little gems as well—like when a trashy and scantily-clad Gagnon, in a second role as Apothecary, is awakened in flop-house surroundings to provide Romeo with drugs to off himself. Playing his cards close to his vest before opening night, Gelineau wouldn’t say much about the UFV production. “What I can tell you is that you’ve never seen this before,” he told the Times. “It’s never been done like this before.” Like the proud dad, the UFV director might be excused for a little exaggeration, but opening night did not disappoint. ◗ UFV’s Romeo and Juliet runs until March 23 at UFV’s Performance Theatre at 45635 Yale Rd. (at Airport Road). Ticket prices range from $11 to $23 (plus service fees) and are available for purchase by phone at 604-795-2814 and online at www.UFV.ca/theatre.

lifetime of making differences at home and abroad arrived with the launch of UFV’s new Bachelor of Global Studies degree program. Since its first class in January 2013, GDS gave global matters a local perspective — learning about inequality in Canada and abroad, and what it means for us here in the Fraser Valley. “In fact, some of the most important aspects of this degree includes changing attitudes, lifestyles and politics in Canada for the development of global citizens, wherever they decide to live and work,” says program cochair Garry Fehr. Not only does UFV’s GDS program train students for the growing international development sector and work abroad for the private sector,

it also prepares people for the changing Canadian demographic. By 2035, immigration will account for 90% of population change in Canada, requiring more immigration service workers, and more citizens who have a broader understanding of international issues, as increasingly their neighbours and coworkers will be recent immigrants. To provide real-world experience heading forward, the GDS program provides international internships in East Africa, Mexico, and India, with other opportunities on the horizon — opening doors to careers with non-governmental organizations or non-profit organizations ranging from Amnesty International to the Mennonite Central Committee, Right to Play, and the Red Cross. Closer to home, those same

skills and experiences help when working for all levels of government. UFV student Matt Dirks accumulated credits that eventually shaped the GDS curriculum, allowing him to graduate with the degree not long after it was announced. Over the course of his studies, Dirks travelled to England and New York in addition to a threemonth internship in Tanzania. Those experiences, in addition to class studies, helped evolve his

understanding of global political, economic, and environmental systems. “It didn’t stir my drink to take the same type of courses for the length of a program. Global Development studies taught me business, economics, sociology, a second language, and more,” he says. “If you want to know how the world works, be a global citizen, and learn about social justice, the GDS program is amazing.” To find out more, see ufv.ca/gds.

Look who’s 40! In 2014, UFV turns 40. As we celebrate our history, we also dream of growing innovation locally and beyond. We can only do this together with you. Watch for special events and celebrations marking our 40th. To learn more about this exciting anniversary, visit ufv.ca/40.

Economics is much more than a money major

f the process of deciding what to major in is something you’ve enjoyed, then maybe economics is your obvious answer. As another new addition to UFV’s stable of degrees, economics is a great way to study human behaviour, explains department head Sean Parkinson. “If you like making decisions or solving problems, you should study economics. It is

that simple,” he says. “It’s great if you want to predict how people will behave in response to some change, or if you want a simple yet powerful and effective way of understanding what shapes the world around you.” By training students to analytically and critically solve complex problems, be

skilled in observation and inference from data, and be adept in presenting ideas in compelling writing and speech, UFV’s economics degree opens the door for a wide variety of careers, ranging from government and health care to banking, finance, law, real estate, and economic development, among others. “Economics is concerned with the

collective outcome of individual actions,” says Parkinson. “For example: what determines the quality of our environment and what policies tend to effectively influence these outcomes, or what determines the development of a particular nation and why do some lag so significantly behind others?” Learn more by visiting ufv.ca/economics.

OBITUARIES

CHARLES (CHARLIE) HENRY YOUNG March 29th, 1919 to March 5th,2014

Charlie passed away after a short illness in the Chilliwack General Hospital. Charlie was predeceased by his wife Mary in 2008 and is survived by daughter June and husband Rick Deeley of Summerland, B.C., grandaughter Ann Koenig, RCMP Inspector of Toronto, Ontario, great granddaughters Emma and Amy of Toronto, Ontario, brother Jackie, nephew Derek Young and Liz Rhodes and many other nieces and nephews and good friends. Charlie was predeceased by his brother William. Charlie grew up in Sunderland, U.K. and at the tender age of 14 joined Archies Juvenile Band as a clarinet and saxophone player. He continued to play until his last gig at the weekly meeting of the Chilliwack Rotary Club 5 days before he died. Eighty years of beautiful music! Charlie served as a military musician during the war, playing for the troops in France and Holland , and Belguim after D-Day. After the war Charlie headed up his own band that performed all over Scotland and northern England. Some of the concerts were broadcast on the B.B.C. In the mid fifties a musician friend heard of an opportunity in Canada with various Military Bands, and after the deprivations of post war rationing in the U.K. the opportunities in Canada seemed very inviting. Charlie and family arrived at Camp Chilliwack in 1955 where Charlie joined the reknowned Royal Canadian Engineers Band as lead Saxophonist. Shortly after getting established Charlie, wife Mary (piano), Les Barker (tenor sax) and Tom Hardin (drums) formed the Copper Room Orchestra at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel. Charlie, Tom and Les played with the Militarry Band during the day and the Copper Room in the evening until midnight six days a week. After retirement in 1985 Charlie was asked to join the Rotary Club of Chilliwack where he and Mary brought their musical talents. At this time they were joined by John Blessin (bass) and either Mark Blessin or Paul Blessin on the drums. This group has played for the meetings with the addition of Joanne Hankey (piano) Paula DeWit (trumpet) and John Forman (percussion). Charlie was a real professional even learning new music in the last few years. The “Rotations” are going to miss him. Charlie was a jokester. He was famous for the fake mouse that suddenly appeared from his shirt pocket and also the crazy wigs and goofy glasses he wore. The Blessin family will feel the loss of Charlie very profoundly as he was considered to be part of the family. Donations can be made to Rotary Polio Eradication Program. A Musical Celebration of Life will be held at Hendersons Funeral Home, Chilliwack, on Thursday March 13th at 2 p.m.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear wife and mother Norma McConnell on March 9, 2014. Norma was born May 20, 1937 in West Hartlepool, County Durham, England. She spent a happy childhood there and then immigrated to Canada in 1965 settling in Edmonton, Alberta. There she met the love of her life John William McConnell and they were married in Chilliwack on December 1, 1973. To their union came two children, Shaun in 1975 and Shari in 1976. They joined Jayne, Norma’s daughter from a previous marriage and her three children were the “Bees Knees” to her. She was the loveliest and most gracious of mothers. Her children adored her; and John, Jayne, Shaun, and Shari were her world and her reason for being. While raising children was definitely a gift of hers, another was her secretarial skill and her ability to run an entire office. Norma had amazing typing and shorthand abilities. She worked as the personal secretary for the Minister of Advanced Education of Alberta and then as the executive secretary for The Faculty of Physical Education at The University of Alberta. Later after Norma and John had moved to Chilliwack they managed the Golden West Motel together for many years. They loved working along side one another. Norma was a perpetually happy and positive person always looking for the best in others. In fact she was nicknamed “sunshine” by her coworkers and this was what she brought to the life of everyone she knew. She loved to sing and hum. Norma also loved to read, knit, shop, spend time with family and go for long picturesque drives where she would enjoy not just the scenery but the beauty of each and every element of God’s creations. She especially loved the fall and the trees. Norma was thrilled at the birth of each and every one of her grandchildren. They were her “pets, chucks, lambs and loves”. She thrilled at everything they did and Dallin, Ashton, Jocelyn, Bryanne, Marin and Autumn knew how much they were adored and loved by her. Her joy was magnified as a great grandchild, Renne, was added to the family just over a year ago. Norma had great love and admiration for her two sons-in-law Steve and Troy as well as her additional grandchildren Tim and Katie. She leaves them all to mourn her loss as well as many other family and friends. Her beloved John will especially miss her. Despite his own battle with cancer he lovingly and faithfully took care of Norma right until the end of her earthly sojourn. A stickler for manners, Norma would want us to be sure we properly acknowledge and express gratitude for the exceptional and attentive care she received from the nursing staff at the Chilliwack Hospital, the nursing staff and volunteers at Cascade Hospice, Dr. Melanie Madill, and Dr. Bull. Thanks to each and every one of you so much. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am, Monday March 17, 2014 at The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located at 6300 Tyson Road Chilliwack, B.C. with Bishop David Robinson officiating. A reception to meet with the family will be held at the church prior to the service from 10:00am-11:00am. Interment will be at the Chilliwack Cemetery following the funeral.

LEE

ROBERT E. (BOB) APRIL 29, 1910 - MARCH 8, 2014 Robert E. (Bob) Lee passed away peacefully on Saturday March 8th 2014, surrounded by his family. Bob was a fifty year resident of Chilliwack, and would have been 96 years old on April 29th. His parents emigrated from China in the early 1900s and settled in Saskatchewan, where they ran a laundry, restaurant and general store. Bob was born in 1918 in Wilkie, and grew up and went to school with his 4 siblings in Cando, where he met his future wife Sophie. They moved to Edmonton when they got married and raised 5 children, moving to Chilliwack in 1966. They were the owners of Rosedale Food Centre in the 1970s. Bob attended Chilliwack Alliance Church and was active for decades in the Lions Club, Shriners and Masons. Always open to new adventures, he did the English Bay Polar Bear Swim on New Year’s Day 5 times. At 93 years, 8 months and 2 days, he was the oldest Polar Bear ever! Active to the very end, Bob was often heard saying “Well, it was something different to do!” Predeceased by his wife Sophie in 1985 and his second wife Donna in 2009, he leaves behind his brother Henry Lee of Cloverdale; his five children: daughters Linda of Los Angeles, Shirley of Abbotsford, Gloria Lee-McGill of Los Angeles, and sons Robert and Barry of Vancouver; as well as 3 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. A very special thank-you to the terrific care staff at Valley Haven Seniors Residence. There will be a memorial service at Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Road, Chilliwack on Monday March 17th at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to Chilliwack Alliance Church “Vision Fund” or the Canadian Cancer Society.
