First degree murder charges for Douglas

■ C RASH L ANDING

Vikki Hopes Black Press A man wanted for a double murder in Chilliwack was arrested Thursday night after a two-hour standoff with police at a home in Abbotsford. Aaron David Douglas, 33, was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in connection with the shooting deaths of Richard Blackmon, 38, and Tyler Belcourt, 36. Both were gunned down in the early hours of Aug. 7 in the 46100 block of Gore Avenue in Chilliwack. A third person escaped with her life but was injured. Abbotsford Police officers and members of the emergency response team surrounded a home on Rainbow Avenue in Abbotsford Thursday at about 4:30 p.m. Police called several times for the suspect to exit the home. When he failed to do so, they launched several flash-bang distraction devices and activated their sirens. The officers also tossed canisters of gas into both the front and the back of the house. The suspect exited the home, crawling on his hands and knees, at about 6:45 p.m. and was arrested. IHIT released the man’s name on Twitter just before 8 p.m., thanking everyone who assisted in the arrest. On Friday Douglas was formally charged with two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder. IHIT has credited the collaborative work of several police jurisdictions in securing the arrest. “The cost of a homicide is felt across the entire Lower Mainland, and the continued success of IHIT is a direct result of the integration and cooperation of municipal and Continued: ARREST/ p7

Farm classification ‘loophole’ plugged Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack officials have spent a lot of time trying to close what’s become known as the ‘llama loophole.’ The issue hit the floor at the recent conference of Union of B.C. Municipalities, the upshot of a Chilliwack property owner who put llamas on an industrial property in order to be assessed at a much lower agricultural tax rate. The problem is that system is not designed for industrial land owners to make it look like agricultural land for just long enough

to provide a tax break, said Coun. Sue Attrill. “Taxation has to be based on actual use,” she said. Attrill was the city councillor who brought the made-in-Chilliwack resolution to the UBCM conference floor, where it passed with a fairly close vote in Whistler last week. The UBCM will now ask the province to amend the Assessment Act so that land could not be “reclassified” for farm use if it’s already zoned for commercial, industrial or other business purposes. In other words, it can’t be reclassified as ag land, unless

the farm use actually “pre-dates the zoning, is the principal use, and the lands are continuously used for farm purposes,” according to the resolution. Those extra criteria when incorporated into legislation should close the loophole for good. Chilliwack officials estimated the “llama loophole” also nicknamed “llama-gate” by pundits cost Chilliwack $250,000 in lost tax revenues, which had to be recouped “off the backs” of the rest of Chilliwack taxpayers. “What happens now is the resolution goes to the provincial government,” said Attrill. “But what

it means is that the first steps are in place in order to make this right.” BC Assessment officials made it clear they couldn’t change how they did business without a formal change to the legislation. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said some may not have realized at the time that the situation meant that the rest of the taxpayers would be paying for the brunt of llama-gate. The situation may have had some applauding the property owner’s “craftiness” by adding the livestock, since the taxes in that case Continued: UBCM/ p7

Harter the latest to join Chilliwack school board race As the official nomination period opens for the Nov. 15 school board elections, the field of candidates is starting to grow. This week former two-time school trustee John-Henry Harter added his name to the ballot. He said his decision was prompted by the actions of the current school board during the recent teachers’ strike. “Whether it was locking the teachers out in June, or cutting their pay, or being silent all summer, the current trustees showed they would do nothing to help end the strike, and do very little to communicate during the strike,” said Harter in a release. “In their silence, they abdicated

■ D OWN

AND

their roles as the community’s voice in public education.” Harter said he could be that voice for public education and vowed not to be silent. “As trustee, I will work to heal the district culture that has been badly marred by this dispute and compounded by the silence of our administration and trustees,” he said. But Harter won’t be the only candidate courting the liberal vote. Barry Neufeld has also indicated he will seek re-election. He said he also wants to be a voice for frontline workers, “who put the needs of students above the government’s priority to cut back on educational spending to ‘balance

the budget.’” Still active in the Canadian prison system as a chaplain, he said he has seen the consequences of an underfunded and under-performing education system. Failing to invest in education will only mean later spending on jail and courthouse construction, he said. Neufeld also said he wants to continue pressuring the school district to adopt a restorative justice approach to discipline in schools, instead of the current “punitive” approach. Dan Coulter, meanwhile, said last week he will try to extend his term on the board. Calling himself a “progressive candidate,” he said wants champion the value of public

education. During the recent labour dispute, both he and Neufeld refused to cross picket lines set up at the school district office to attend a board meeting. Also on the ballot will be veterans Walt Krahn and Heather Maahs. Krahn, a former principal, said he hopes to repair the damaged trust created by the recent strike. “Now that we’ve all returned to our schools, I want to be involved in the collaboration and communication efforts we will need to build new bridges between students, parents, teachers, school staff members, trustees and the community,” he said. “We are all in this together.”

Maahs said her emphasis will be the implementation of the Special Education Review, and a more transparent budgeting process. Paul McManus may be the first first-time candidate to declare, but he says his experience in the community makes him a force for “positive change.” His business background, coupled with his involvement in the Chilliwack public education system both as a parent and a volunteer, has given him a strong understanding of the challenges the district faces, and ways to meet them. The nomination period closes Oct. 10. Municipal elections are Nov. 15.

Blood inventory in ‘critical condition’ Canadian Blood Services is appealing to all eligible donors to make a blood donation immediately to increase Canada’s critically low blood supplies. All blood donors are needed, in particular those with type O and A blood.

As a result of the desperate need for donated blood, CBS has extended this Friday’s clinic in Chilliwack by one hour, and 25 donation times need to be filled. The clinic will now run from noon to 6 p.m. at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel.

Additionally, there are still 50 appointments open to donate on Oct. 13, which is Thanksgiving Monday. That clinic runs from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Coast Hotel. In recent months extremely low attendance at blood donor

It’s a tiny purple light bulb that will soon be popping up on countertops of Chilliwack businesses and charities. It’s for Purple Light Nights, a month-long campaign in Chilliwack and beyond, kicking off Oct. 1 with the unequivocal message that domestic violence has no place in the community. “We know domestic violence is a difficult subject to talk about, and it can be even more difficult to get community involvement, but by lighting a tree and shining purple lights at home, we can help raise awareness,” said Beverly Coles of Specialized Victim Assistance, and a member of the Chilliwack Violence Against Women in Relationships sub-committee, which started the PLN campaign in Chilliwack in 2009. Purple Light Nights asks people to shine a purple light bulb, or a string of them, from their front porch, window or storefront for the entire month of October. It’s a visual way to remember the victims and honour the survivors of domestic violence. “We hope these purple lights will encourage a dialogue between neighbours and friends about domestic violence and the devastating harm it does,” said Coles. “When we see abuse in relationships, we too often also see children caught up in it.

were effectively reduced by 98 per cent that year, with the help of the loophole, Gaetz said. “But there was gravel on the site, and it was being marketed as industrial,” she noted. Chilliwack makes a point of “highly subsidizing” its farm land, which is meant to support actual farmers and agricultural producers. But with this unprecedented situation, they were faced with either cutting city services, or shifting the tax burden to recoup the significant revenue losses from the llama loophole. When the legislation is rewritten, it will mean that lands cannot be reclassified as farm land, when they’re already zoned for other uses, unless that farm use predated the zoning, and is the principal use on the property, and those ag lands are continuously used for farming.

Provincial resources towards the common goal of enhanced Public Safety,” said A/Supt. Dwayne McDonald, Officer in Charge of IHIT. Added A/Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett, Chief Officer for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit British Columbia: “These teams worked persistently and were dedicated and determined to doing everything they could in support of

one another to ensure the public remained safe while he was at large.” IHIT issued a warrant for Douglas’ arrest just days after the double murder, saying he had been identified as the prime suspect. He had just been released from police custody about a month earlier after an unrelated attempted-murder charge was dropped against him. In that case, he pleaded guilty to a weapons charge and was sentenced to time served

2 for TEA

(19 months) followed by three years’ probation. Douglas has a criminal record dating back to 1996 with multiple convictions for offences such as possession for the purpose of trafficking, driving while prohibited, breaching his probation, resisting a police officer, possessing an unauthorized firearm, possession of stolen property and drug trafficking. Almost all of the offences occurred in Chilliwack.

85-year-old walks away from crash An 85-year-old man managed to walk away from the aircraft he was flying after it crashed into a field on Camp River Road on Sunday afternoon in Chilliwack. Witness Troy Lucas said he saw his neighbour in the ultralight Lazair plane when it took off northbound from his property on Camp River Road. The plane was off the ground briefly when a gust of wind picked up and pushed the aircraft eastbound into a neighbouring field. The elderly man had gasoline in his eyes, so Lucas rushed to get water to flush his eyes out before paramedics arrived on scene. The Lazair landed facing southbound with its nose in the ground and tail in the air. The man, who is a veteran flyer and wellknown in the area, was not seriously hurt.

Pedestrian safety

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

They walk in groups or alone, often wearing dark clothing, with no heed to their surroundings. You might see them out of the corner of your eye, then they seem to disappear into the darkness. Zombies? No, pedestrians. Yes, this is the season when rain-soaked clouds hide a silvery moon and danger lies on every street corner. But do many pedestrians pay attention? Do they remove their headphones when crossing a street? Do they make eye contact with the driver making a right-hand turn just metres away? Not always, and that could put many people at risk. As Chilliwack gets busier, and the rain and winter gloom makes visibility more difficult, both drivers and pedestrians need to take extra care. Sure, drivers have the biggest responsibility. They have to pay attention to all others on the road and make every effort to check for pedestrians at every crossing. They must also slow down in school zones and at crosswalks. Just imagine how one moment of inattention could cause injury — perhaps to a child running out onto a street or a senior with a walker in the middle of an intersection. Nobody wants to have a pedestrian injury or fatality on their conscience. But let’s face it, many pedestrians don’t do their part. They stand too close to the edge of the sidewalk, enter crosswalks too late or too early, don’t wear reflective clothing and all too often they ignore their surroundings. The news about pedestrian deaths has been quiet of late — in Vancouver, for example, pedestrian deaths are at an all time low — but let’s not get complacent. You can keep yourself and your children safe by being aware and being seen. Lives depend on it. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Is CUPE running your city hall? WHISTLER – The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises. When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elections, discussions with sur viving and incoming municipal politicians will resume. Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse,

municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc. Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly survey council candidates to determine their level Tom FLETCHER of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accordingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like “Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information voters. During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with

mayors, councillors and regional directors. Is the province going to impose some kind of solution? “There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level as well. Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground? “We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.” Will the new municipal auditor

general have a role in this? “The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of coordinating efforts.” NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections. Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that

period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them. Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position. So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column.

From left, Michael Henshall, and his children Elijah and Naomi pick up trash along the shores of the Fraser River during one of two B.C. Rivers Day celebrations on Saturday. Volunteers collected more than six tonnes of garbage during the two cleanup events. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

River cleanup makes a difference On behalf of the Fraser Valley Salmon and Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society I would like to thank the hundreds of volunteers that attended the two BC Rivers’ Day celebrations and river cleanups (Worlds Rivers’ Day) on the Fraser River Saturday and Chilliwack-Vedder River on Sunday. Through the efforts of these wonderful volunteers, thousands of pounds of garbage, dumped by careless people over the last several months werer removed from our precious waterways, the Fraser and ChilliwackVedder River, thus preventing this material from being washed down to the Salish Sea during the next spring freshet and high water events. This also makes us feel better to see a clean environment for the thousands of visitors and fishers that travel from all over the world to fish these

waterways in Chilliwack, which I like to call the freshwater fishing capital of the world. We were very also encouraged to see many young people attend these cleanups as that is good news for the future for they may care for our rivers and waterways better than some users do these days. For those who could not attend these cleanups we ask them when they are out there, along these rivers, that they do a little cleanup as we can all make a difference, a little at a time. Also thanks to all the local businesses that supplied food and prizes for the cleanups, too numerous to name. Also a big thanks to our main sponsors, City of Chilliwack, Fraser Valley Regional District, Clancy’s Meats, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, George Shaw from Chilliwack Tim Hortons,

Chilliwack Fish And Game Protective Association, Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, First Class Disposal, West End Auto Body, Go Audio, Shaw TV Chilliwack, Star FM, News 1130 Vancouver, our musician Katherine Langille, to the groups that brought displays and also of course to the directors of the Fraser Valley Salmon Society and Chilliwack-Vedder River Cleanup Society who put these cleanups all together. Special thanks goes to reporter Jennifer Feinberg and photojournalist Jenna Hauck both of the Chilliwack Progress for covering these cleanups over the years. Chris Gadsden FVSS director and CVRCS chair

Burning garbage is not the answer to waste problem Even with growing opposition, Metro still wants to incinerate our garbage, reducing recycling in the process because recyclables burn. Even though a 40tonne load of ‘sorted’ combustible garbage can reduce to between 10 and 20 per

cent by volume, the residual weight will not be much less. The captured toxic flyash is part of the residual weight but physics dictates that the weight by which the garbage was reduced has become something else which was not captured. That uncaptured toxic something

else will be in the air that we breathe! Then they tell us that emissions are low. If so, the ash going out must weigh virtually the same as the garbage going in, trucks can’t be overloaded so where are the haulage savings? I believe that Metro has been lied to and

that they are passing those lies on to us. When voting, check if your candidate suppor ts incineration! Detroit, USA is bankrupt in part because of garbage incineration and recycling is banned because recyclables burn.

Zany improv comes to the Vineyard Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s going to be a fun Friday night in downtown Chilliwack. That’s how a member of SimPhoney Improv describes the energized show they plan to put on at the Vineyard Community Centre Oct. 3 on Wellington Avenue. What can folks expect? Well, they can expect the unexpected, said Michael Berger, one of the newly formed SimPhoney Improv troupe. And the audience might even be tempted to call out suggestions, numbers and themes that the players will then incorporate cleverly into the skits and games. “That’s the beauty of improv. You can talk about anything and everything,” said Berger. “Whatever people bring to the scene is what you get. To be in the moment fully, it’s amazing

the kind of comedy that comes out of that.” Berger is an award-winning Toastmaster who critiques speeches, and a performer with Secondary Characters Musical Theatre. His listening skills come in handy, since with improv the members listen intently and then build on each other’s work. “When I joined, I never thought of the end result, that it might mean some local gigs.” This is the troupe’s second performance in a few weeks. “I just thought it would be fun.” He likes the idea of improv better than standup, which he said can leave you feeling “vulnerable.” “With improv you’re on stage in a group. You’re part of a team, but with standup you’re totally out there on your own.” And if one bit doesn’t work,

meh, you’re back out in a few minutres to try another scene. So is the group actually funny? “We crack each other up. We figure that’s a pretty good sign.” They had some really good laughs at the last one. The last scene of the last show at Bozzini’s got the biggest guffaws of the night. Berger recently performed in musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” but improv is a little different. So what brought the players together? “In my case it was a post on Facebook. Everyone knew one other person. It’s kind of neat. We got along and found we can work well with each other. “It just felt natural.” They’re all vying to make each other burst out laughing. “Nobody has come right out and said it, but I think we compete to make each others laugh.

Everyone has that feeling. So that’s another good sign.” It’s cheaper than a movie, and you get the feeling of live theatre. “It brings its own magic.” Other members of SimPhoney include David Hobson, a professional speaker from Chilliwack who performed in Players’ Guild productions like “Friends and Neighbours, “Office Hours”, “Alice in Wonderland” and “Witness for the Prosecution”, as well as several British Nights productions. He’s also trained with Vancouver Theatre Sports League Improv Comedy Company. Nancy Guitar of Chilliwack is a stand-up comedian, actor, playwright and children’s author. She has acted in student films and performed across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, in shows like as Penny-A-Line Promotions’ Continued: IMPROV/ p19

For Dene singer-songwriter Leela Gilday, her songs are her stories. She sees music as a very powerful tool for healing, and empowering people, as well as communication. Gilday performs a special show Oct. 4 at Harrison Hall, as a CD release for her fourth full-length album. “I think of my music as soulful aboriginal folk roots,” she tells The Progress. “It has lots of traditional influences but a contemporary sound.” The Juno winner has played Harrison a couple of times but this is the first time as a part of a concert series. Gilday has been singing since she was a baby, and was on stage by the age of 8. She has a music degree and has gigged in every province and territory in Canada and around the world. “I’ve never considered doing anything else as a career because I truly love what I do: music is a powerful tool for communication, healing, reaching and empowering people.” Harrison Festival Society is bringing her to the beachside community to launch their 26th Season of Performing Arts with Gilday’s performance. The Dene artist is flying herself and band into Vancouver from Yellowknife, Winnipeg, and Ottawa, just for the Harrison show.

HARRISON from page 13 “She really embodies her songs.” says Har rison Festival Society Ar tistic Director, Andy Hillhouse. “Her raw honesty and emotion resonates powerfully

of humour as well as a sense of social justice. “Her singing ranges from tender folk ballads, to R&B and gospel stylings, to chill-inducing chants inspired by Dene song,” says Hillhouse. She titled her new

CD, Hear t of the People. The Progress asked her why. “I chose ‘Heart of the People’ as the title and central idea for the album because I believe culture, connection to the land

and to each other is preserved through the stories we tell over and over, like a heartbeat,” she wrote by email. “These songs are our stories.” The CD has some “amazing tracks on it,” she confides, “cel-

Puffer makes mark in early action Eric J. Welsh, The Progress A pair of weekend wins over the Surrey Eagles have the Chilliwack Chiefs 4-0 to start the 2014-15 BCHL season. And a rookie forward is showing himself to be an elite junior A player. Craig Puffer scored both goals in a 2-1 overtime win in Surrey Friday night. He added two more in a 6-2 home-ice win Saturday. Only Prince George sniper Justin Rai has more goals (seven) than Puffer, and he’s played one more game. The 19 year old couldn’t have asked for a better start. Puffer is the latest Connecticut kid to make an impact for the Chiefs, a group that includes grads Ben Masella, Luke Esposito and Andrew Silard. This year’s roster includes three of them, with Puffer joined by Mark Esposito (Luke’s little brother) and Liam Ferguson. “I talked to Luke a lot before coming here and he had an unbelievable experience,” said Puffer, who hails from New Caanan. “All us

Connecticut guys came out for spring camp and really enjoyed it. It seemed like the right place.” Puffer had another familiar face on his journey to Chilliwack. Winger Tipper Higgins flanked him last year at Berkshire School in Sheffield, MA. “We had two years together in our junior and senior years, and we built a lot of chemistry,” Puffer said. “We both have great vision. He knows my instincts and I know his. We hang out a lot off the ice too and we both lived in the same dorm at Berkshire.” Through four games, Puffer has displayed the 200-foot game that coach Jason Tatarnic talked up in the offseason. Higgins, a big-bodied forward from Vermont, hasn’t scored a goal yet, but has four assists. “He’s a strong guy with good speed who works hard in the corners and along the boards,” Puffer said. “He knows where I am at all times and he usually finds me with the puck.” Puffer and Higgins played with a variety of wingers through the

preseason (Jake Hand, Mason Boh and Jordan Kawaguchi among them). In early regular season action, Tatarnic hasn’t always kept them together. When they do skate on the same line, Puffer said they look for a linemate who hounds the puck and looks to be creative. “I feel we can work with any guy on the team,” Puffer said. “A big part of us coming here was Jason’s plan to be structured in the D zone and let us be creative in the offensive zone. We’re able to do what we want offensively, which feels great. I like to be as creative as possible.” Puffer isn’t the biggest guy in the world at five-foot-10 and 175 pounds. He doesn’t have blinding speed, but he’s shifty and sneaky quick. He uses his wheels and vision at both ends of the ice and has shown himself to be a backchecking demon. “D zone is huge for any team and Berkshire really taught me to be a two-way player,” he said. “I matured a lot and got better in all three zones.” Puffer will almost

Craig Puffer (middle) is congratulated by Chief teammates after scoring against the Surrey Eagles. Puffer had four goals, Jordan Kawaguchi had two and Cole Sartorio and Mark Esposito sniped singles in weekend wins (2-1 and 6-2) over the Surrey Eagles. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

certainly be a oneand-done player in Chilliwack, heading off to the NCAA ranks next year. He’s committed to the Vermont Catamounts, a team playing in the Hockey East Conference. His individual goals this year are geared towards getting ready

for the rigors of college hockey. “Playing another year of junior will get me stronger, quicker, more mature and ready to handle that level,” he said. “Being at the gym every day will help me prepare to face older and bigger guys.” Puffer and his Chiefs

hit the road for a trip to Prince George this weekend, taking on the Spruce Kings on backto-back nights (Friday and Saturday). The Sprucies are 4-1 so far this year. Prince George and the Langley Rivermen figure to be Chilliwack’s biggest rivals in the

Mainland division. As mentioned earlier, Justin Rai is on fire to start his third year of BCHL hockey. He is the cousin of former Western Hockey League standout and one-time Vancouver Canucks draft pick Prab Rai. Get info at bchl.ca

Huskers roll past Rebels for first win said head coach Adam Smith, breathing a sigh of relief. “We were positive and business like before the game, and afterwards I think it was a combination of relief and happiness.” The game wasn’t a masterpiece. The Rebels out-gained the Huskers in net yardage (512 to 406), but Chilliwack made some big plays count. Two receivers, Tyron Ledingham and Keenan Godden went over 100 yards catching passes from quarterback Dylan LaPrairie.

The pivot completed 12 of 23 attempts for 304 yards and two touchdowns. “It’s unfortunate that we got him in his last year (of junior eligibility),” Smith said. “With a whole offseason and familiarity with our systems, I think he would have had a really good year next year.” Godden caught two of LaPrairie’s TD passes. Ledingham had the other. “Tyron has grown from the start of the year as a team and practice player,” Smith said. “He was all natural ability and not

Filling in for injured Benedict Muhima, he had 79 yards on 14 carries. He also blocked a kick, returning it 28 yards for a major. The Husker D allowed Hunter Lake to top 100 yards rushing, and two Victoria wideouts (Bryce Mosley and Jordan Rodinsky) went over 100 yards receiving. But Smith was impressed with their effort.

“We set the tone again, with our defensive backs flying around getting hands on footballs,” the coach said. “And our defensive leader, Sharif Ali, can’t say enough good things about him.” Chilliwack native Dylan Boykowich led the D with seven solo tackles and a quarterback sack. Connor Smith and Jason Ghag had five apiece with Ali picking up four. Daniel Mills had an interception and Jesse Smith recovered a fumble.

The Huskers came into the game 0-8, with the mighty Langley Rams waiting for the BC Football Conference season finale.

ROTARYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PROMISE: A POLIO-FREE WORLD In 1988 Rotary International decided that its one and only corporate mission would be to eradicate polio. At that time polio was endemic in over 125 countries and EVERY DAY over 1,000 children were stricken by the crippling and often fatal disease. Together with our partners (the World Health Organization, the Centres for Disease Control, UNICEF, and more recently the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) we are now on the brink of our promise of a polio free world (the only other disease to have been eradicated was smallpox in 1980). There are now just three remaining polio endemic countries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria, and year to date there have only been 112 diagnosed cases (compared to 416 in all of 2013). Despite the lack of health records in many third-world countries, Rotary and our partners mobilize in designated regions where we attempt to immunize every child under the age of five within a week. Thousands of Rotarians travel to these regions each year (at their own personal expense), often going hut-to-hut in remote villages, placing two precious drops of the oral vaccine into the mouths of children. A member of our Rotary Club travelled to India in 2006, and six members have travelled to Ethiopia since 2009 for Polio National Immunization Days, including our Carol Tichelman whose father was a victim of polio. On her recent return from Ethiopia Carol said â&#x20AC;&#x153;...every one of the beautiful children I have immunized are going to live unimaginably hard and challenging lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; however I take great comfort knowing that they will not have to deal with the ravages of the polio virusâ&#x20AC;?. Carol would like our readers to consider: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think that Rotary sounds good to youâ&#x20AC;Śif you feel that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real human value in Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service Above Selfâ&#x20AC;&#x153; projects, please know that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking for like-minded, enthusiastic new membersâ&#x20AC;Śyouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be welcome.â&#x20AC;? To learn more about what we do, please look through our website www.chilliwackrotaryclub. ca, or contact us at rotaryclubofchilliwack@gmail.com, or talk to any of our members (look for their Rotary lapel pin).

Earning respect Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby Crusaders faced a titanic task last Saturday as they hosted East Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scribes RFC. The visitors came in undefeated, with 40 points their average margin of victory and not a single point surrendered this season. The Crusaders held the Scribes at bay in the opening half with solid positioning and tackling. The Scribes were only able to score three points to lead 3-0 at the break. The Scribes broke through in the second half, using their height advantage in lineouts. Defensive miscues led to two Scribe tries and an 18-3 final. Solomon Puckey picked up Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s points on a penalty kick, and the Scribes left with a little more respect for the rebuilding Crusaders. The locals travel to Surrey this weekend and are always looking for new players. All ages and experience levels are welcome. Visit chilliwackrugby. com for more information.

Westad added to the attack with his third straight 100-yard game. Westad carried 19 times for 124 yards and two majors. Alex Bannerman added 50 yards on four carries. Bannerman led the tenacious Grizzly defence as well, recording four and a half tackles. Defensive end Jordan Lecher had three and a half tackles, two quarterback sacks and a knockdown. Linebacker Cainen Bergh forced a fumble and had a 32 yard interception return. His Grizzlies are on the road this week, traveling to Pitt Meadows for a Friday night matchup. GWG comes into that game ranked fifth in the province. The Marauders are right behind in sixth. Get more info online at grahamfootball.ca

AS SEEN ON ARKETPLA CE Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S M Thanks Bruce

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

OBITUARIES

Stolting, Hermann

August 13, 1926 September 16, 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear wife and mother, Beth Guliker, on September 25, at the young age of 43. She was born in Vancouver but was raised in Rosedale most of her life. We were blessed with 4 beautiful children; Cory (Cheyenne), 1989, Janessa, 1990, Torrina, 1994, and Johnathon, 1995, they truly were her joy in life. Our home on Brooks was her sanctuary where she got to see our children and many friends grow up. Her dream was to open up her own thrift store and in 2011 she was able to realize that dream. She was so happy. Unfortunately, the last year and a half of her life was a struggle for her but she bravely carried on. She always put the kids and me first, trying not to be a bother. She was predeceased by her sister in law Leola (1977); father in law, John (1987); daughter, Torrina (1994); father in law, Frank (2007) and brother in law, Gerald (2008). Viewing to be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave., Chilliwack on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 from 7 pm to 8:30 pm. A celebration of Beth’s life will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2014 at 1pm at Main Street Church, 9345 Main Street, Chilliwack, BC. There will be a backyard reception of Beth’s life at 46545 Brooks Ave after the graveside service. Instead of flowers, Beth would rather have donations made to the Meadow Rose Society in her name. Taken way too soon. Always loving, always giving, dearly missed. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium (604) 792-1344

Cindy Elizabeth Hansen passed away Monday September 8th, 2014 at home surrounded by her family. Her husband Shane Hansen, her children Brittney, Jordan, and Brodie Hansen, and her mother, Joan Carl. She touched so many lives in her time with us, through her kindness and her zest for life. She will be missed by many. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

“

All are seeking truth, and there are many roads leading thereto. Truth has many aspects, but it remains always and forever one.
