Arrest made in string of Chilliwack robberies RCMP investigation into thefts continues

Shelters shifts from overnight to longer stays Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack’s street population looking for a bed for the night at Ruth and Naomi’s mission are in for big changes. A brand-new addition for a 30-day homeless shelter program was officially opened Wednesday, with the help of funding partners Rotary Fraser Club of Chilliwack and City of Chilliwack. “We’re hoping it will have a big impact,” said Bill Raddatz, executive director at Ruth and Naomi’s. It’s already changing lives, like that of Garrett Wallace, one of the

first people at the mission to complete the 30-day program. They are still focused on providing “a hand up rather than a handout,” Raddatz said, but the shelter changes are substantial for the street-entrenched of downtown Chilliwack. The only time they’ll put mats down on the floor at Ruth and Naomi’s for overnight guests from here on in, will be during extreme weather events in fall and winter. The new shelter on the main floor will offer a type of introductory transitional housing with bunk beds for 12 men and four

women, a common space and meeting rooms. “We know that what we do downtown here has an impact on the greater community,” Raddatz said. They now can offer homeless and street-entrenched two choices in terms of shelter. They can choose to enter the 30-day program, come up with a personal plan and milestones to achieve. They can then choose to move into, or “graduate” to the upstairs section of the mission for the Step-Up Residential Recovery Centre. There they can seek inhouse residential drug and alco-

hol treatment, or choose to seek permanent housing or treatment elsewhere. Some will come with nothing off the streets or from homeless camps, others may be referred by the courts or probation officers. “Getting them off the streets and hopefully into a recovery program. That’s the ultimate goal,” Raddatz said. “We can show them how when they become healthier, they also become better citizens of Chilliwack. We want them to feel like it’s home, but at the same time challenge them.” Continued: SHELTER/ p5

A 29-year-old Chilliwack man has been charged in connection to two recent armed robberies. Jesse William Thompson is currently in custody, awaiting a court appearance in April. He is charged with attempted robbery, robbery, and wearing a disguise to commit robbery. The arrest was made following a series of robberies in Chilliwack last week. On March 24 at 8:10 p.m. a lone male, with his face covered and carrying a concealed weapon, entered a convenience store located in the 45000 block of First Avenue. The man fled on foot when confronted by a store employee. Later the same evening at 8:56 p.m. a lone male, with his face covered and carrying a concealed weapon, entered a restaurant located in the 45000 block of Yale Road. The man demanded money from the till then fled on foot with the stolen cash. “This arrest and subsequent charges are the result of dedicated team work by officers of the Chilliwack RCMP,” said Staff Sergeant Sukh Parmar, “resources from General Duty, Crime Reduction Unit, General Investigation Support Team Integrated Dog Services, and RCMP Forensic Identification Section were deployed during the investigation.” Chilliwack RCMP continues with the investigation into a series of robberies which occurred in the downtown core between March 17 and March 23. Police ask anyone with information regarding these robberies to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611, or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

New education bill could ‘centralize’ system Jessica Peters The Progress Recent changes to the School Act could lead the B.C. education system down a troubling path, worries Chilliwack Teachers Association president Clint Johnston. With the introduction of Bill 11, the provincial government will be giving itself new authority to regulate ongoing teacher training, along with the authority to impose shared services arrangements on school districts. It’s the latter that Johnston finds the most troublesome. “That they will essentially be able to overrule the elected representatives in a community is

worrisome to me,” he said. “What concerns me is the kind of the centralization of authority toward the ministry, to be able to rule in place of elected officials.” The bill is a long one, and Johnston admits he’s still working his way through the hefty document, which was released on March 26. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation was notified just hours before the bill was introduced into the legislature. “It uses language that seems to indicate the ministry is going to have a lot more direct oversight,” Johnston says. “It’s very top down.” The provincial government can’t serve each community as well as

each locally elected school board and their well-trained school district staff, he added. Bill 11 also sets out to regulate teacher training by “building a framework for continuing professional development.” But Johnston said the framework is already in place, and works well. “The idea that there isn’t any oversight or that teachers are not subject to professional development is ridiculous,” he said. In addition to taking part in professional development activities on professional days, teachers are able to log self-directed development. The new bill will allow the

BCTF and the education ministry to define professional development, education minister Peter Fassbender said. “There is no legislated requirement for professional development, nor is there a definition of what the route to that might be and what some of those tools are,” Fassbender told reporters Thursday. “That is why it is important that we work with the teaching profession to define that moving forward, and that’s what this bill allows us to do.” BCTF president Jim Iker said education ministry officials have assured him there will be two years of consultation before changes to professional development are

Prest Road rebuild might face delays The Progress The first phase of the Prest Road rebuild project green-lighted a couple of years ago by city council is moving ahead slowly. Road widening and construction of two roundabouts originally thought to be completed sometime in 2015 may actually take a little longer, according to city staff. City reps are currently still in

land purchase negotiations and working on utility pole relocation for the Prest Road project with BC Hydro and Telus officials. They’re still somewhat hopeful to see some construction before the year is out, but it looks a little unlikely given the work window restrictions in place to protect local creeks that will impact the drainage-related work. The road work in general is

geared to addressing north/ south traffic congestion going to and from Promontory heights, and roundabouts will go in at Bailey Road and Prairie Central. Another will go in at McGuire eventually. This phase of the road project will cost an estimated $6 million. The first phases will see widening and bike lanes added in the stretch of Prest from Bailey Road to the Trans Canada Highway, along with the single-

Progress earns acclaim

More than 200 volunteers spent their Saturday morning cleaning up the Fraser River. The eighth annual Fraser River Clean-up, hosted by Fraser River Keepers, took place at the end of Gill Road on the weekend. Volunteers hauled out household garbage, car parts, boat parts, matresses, drywall, and even a deer. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

imposed. Any changes “need to be properly funded and respect teachers’ professional autonomy,” he said. Iker was more concerned about another change that gives the ministry authority to impose shared services arrangements on school districts. He called the move “a diversion from underfunding,” after the government demanded $29 million in administrative savings from districts, many of whom say they can’t find any more savings. Fassbender said school districts will have time to develop shared service plans themselves before anything is imposed by Victoria.

lane roundabouts. It is stage one of much larger project of about $30 million of improvements to Prest, looking forward to improvements by 2021, 2031 and 2051, and funding will come out of development cost charges. A combined request for expressions of interest (RFEI) from qualified bidders went out for the first phase and other projects, and is set to close is April 8.

The Chilliwack Progress has been honoured with several newspaper industry awards and nominations over the last few weeks. Most recently, the Canadian Community Newspaper Association announced its finalists in this year’s excellence awards. The Progress picked up four. It finished second in Canada for Best Agriculture Edition in a circulation class over 10,000 for Outlook Agriculture. Photojournalist Jenna Hauck, meanwhile, earned two awards: third for Best Spot News photo, and third for Best News Feature – both in a circulation class of 12,500 and over. Editor Greg Knill finished third for Best Historical Writing (12,500 and over) for his story on D-Day veteran Len Fitzgerald. Yet to be decided are this year’s Ma Murray Award winners, presented by the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association. However, The Progress has received four nominations, including overall General Excellence. In addition, Jenna Hauck has been nominated for Best Feature Photo (colour), and Best Photo Essay. Eric Welsh has been nominated for the Sports Writing Award for a series he did on a young soccer player’s battle to recover from two concussions. Winners will be announced at BCYCNA’s gala dinner April 25 at the River Rock Hotel in Richmond. The provincial and national recognition comes on the heels of a North American honour. Earlier this year, The Progress was named 2014 Newspaper of the Year by the Local Media Association (formerly the Suburban Newspaper Association of North America).

Shelter addition opens Staff will help with employment, helping identify housing options, medical issues and addictions. Rotary Club of Chilliwack Fraser president Gary Armstrong said they were proud to be part of the project like this that sometimes slips through the funding cracks. “It was an easy decision for us to make, to be able to give back to our community in this way to help to those in real need. We’re really glad to partner with the city on this and think that this is going to make a really big difference in our community.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz agreed. “Yes, a $73,000 difference (what Rotary raised) and it’s unbelievable,” she said. “It’s what happens when peo-

ple come together for common cause, with passion and determination to make Chilliwack a better place to be.” Typically under the community development funding policy for CDI grants, council can only contribute to projects where City of Chilliwack eventually retains the capital asset. City council decided to make a onetime exception in this case, and waive that requirement of asset ownership she explained, and it didn’t take too much convincing. Council went ahead and voted to fund this homeless shelter project to the tune of $27,000. “Council has learned a lot about homelessness, and some were lessons we wish we didn’t know,” said Gaetz, adding they heard “stories of courage, of fear, of frustration and stories of hope.”

Central Elementary hopes to raise $60,000

ORC RCH RCHE R C CH HESTRA STRA RA A & CH HORU ORUS S

Jessica Peters The Progress The wooden playground at Chilliwack Central elementary school is well past its prime, and scheduled to be removed any day. Some of the pieces have already been taken out by maintenance workers, and pretty soon the entire structure will be gone. And when it’s gone, a beautifullydesigned, brightly-coloured, modern playground will replace it. But not for a while. While playgrounds are an essential part of any Canadian schoolyard, they aren’t funded by the government. So when the playgrounds are vandalized or just become too old, the cost of replacement falls upon the shoulders of the parent advisory councils at each school. And they’re not exactly cheap. The playground that students, staff and parents are hoping for comes in at about $60,000, installed. It was specifically chosen to help primary students move and stretch their core muscles, giving them a good workout while they play. Clara Hooper, a past parent and tireless volunteer at the school, said the PAC at Central elementary has been fundraising since last year. They’ve done plant sales, the Ford Drive One For Your School event, and held a fundraising drive back when the school celebrated its 85th anniversary.

They’ve acquired a few grants, including $6,500 from Chilliwack Foundation, and Hooper continues to write applications. It’s still not enough. They are still looking for $40,000 in donations. “We are trying everything we can,” Hooper said. They’ve now also set up a Go Fund Me account and are planning a pub night and a community party ‘for’ the park, to help them get closer to their goal. And the sooner the better, she added. Once that wooden structure is taken out, the youngest kids in the school will be left without anything to play on. The intermediate playground is designed for older ages, and isn’t appropriate for younger children. “We don’t want kids to not be able to play,” Hooper said. The removal of old wooden structures is taking place systemically at all Chilliwack schools. The structures are more prone to vandalism than their more modern, plastic replacements. They are also filled with carcinogens which can be dangerous. The pub night will be held at Triple Play Pub on April 24, and tickets are $10 a person, which includes dinner and a drink. Hooper said they are accepting donations for a raffle draw for the night. For more information on how to help, or to purchase tickets for the pub night, call Clara or Kristine at 604-795-2869.

Driven to distraction

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Seems like a lot of Chilliwack motorists just don’t get it. They continue to use their phone while driving. A recent six-hour blitz by Chilliwack RCMP resulted in 39 tickets issued at four different locations. (Chilliwack Progress, April 1.) There is no reason for this. The technology exists so calls can be made or taken, hands free. And yet, the problem continues. Distracted driving is now the second leading cause of car crashes in the province, police say, and contributes to 88 deaths annually. That’s roughly 28 per cent of all car crash fatalities in B.C. Efforts to curb the carnage have resulted in stiffer fines, and aggressive policing campaigns like the one we saw on Chilliwack streets last month. If you are caught using a hand-held device while driving (or even at a red light or stuck in traffic) you’ll pay $167, and earn three penalty points against your licence. New drivers, or those with a learner’s licence, are prohibited from using any electronic device – even hands free. But the rules run even deeper than that. Workers who are injured in an accident caused by their distracted driving may not be entitled to compensation. And employers who encourage, or turn a blind eye to distracted driving may be found at fault by WorkSafe BC. The rules are clear, but it will take more than stiff penalties and rigorous enforcement to change behaviour. We need an attitude adjustment. This is an issue about safety – ours and those around us. Smart phones are amazing devices, capable of amazing things. But too many people are discovering they also have the potential to cause great harm. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Earthquakes happen, whether we’re ready or not The recent report British Columbia Ear thquake Preparedness by Henry Renteria prepared for the Attorney General and Minister of Justice highlighted what we all knew already. At all levels, we’re not ready for the big earthquake. Actually, we’re not really up to speed for a medium one either. We live in the most seismically active region in Canada yet we are stunningly complacent about earthquake hazards. They shimmer under our feet every day and the Geological Survey of Canada records about 1,200 a year in British Columbia. Some 300 of them occur around Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. The vast majority of them are too small to be felt but occasionally a wake-up shaker happens. In just over the past 300 years we’ve had three great earthquakes (magnitude 8.0 or higher). There

was the M9.0 in 1700 that forced the undersea Cascadia thrust fault to rupture along a 1,000 kilometre length from mid Vancouver Island to northern California and sent a tsunami to Japan. In 1899 there was a M8.0 shaker along the Yukon-Alaska border and in 1949 a M8.1 quake shook Haida Gwaii. In addition there Margaret have been seven EVANS major quakes (M7.0 and higher) since 1872. Decades may separate these major events in B.C. and perhaps it’s that very elusiveness of time that encourages people to shrug off preparedness for another day while focusing on immediate needs. Renteria said in his report that,

in British Columbia, the lack of significant seismic activity near highly populated areas has resulted in widespread apathy. As a result, earthquake preparedness has not received the day-to-day attention that other pressing needs have received. Consequently, he wrote, earthquake and disaster preparedness programs have been cut or restricted in growth and resources have been devoted to other priorities and programs. Just a month ago the Liberal government got into a squawk with the Vancouver School Board over delays in seismic upgrades to some B.C. schools. Upgrades for high-risk Vancouver schools originally scheduled to be done by 2020 got shifted to 2030 while high risk schools outside Vancouver will be done by 2025 with a smorgasbord of them in various stages of approval. That may be buying time but it may be playing with

time too. Earthquakes strike without warning and each one is unique as to its damage and danger level. The largest recorded earthquakes are subduction types in which friction builds as one tectonic plate slides beneath another. When the energy from that friction is released, the earthquake happens. The biggest one recorded was an M9.5 off the coast of Chile in 1960. The size of an earthquake is controlled by the length of the geologic fault where it occurs and the longer the fault, the bigger the potential quake. Currently, there are no known faults capable of generating an M10.0 or larger earthquake. Of f-the-scale ear thquakes do happen. But they’re off the planet. Further afield, check out the starquake that happened on the surface of an exotic neutron

star also known as a magnetar and quaintly named SGR 1806-20. Just 20 kilometres across, it is 50,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. The starquake, which was detected December 27, 2004, was some kind of momentary structural rearrangement and released more energy in a tenth of a second than the Sun emits in 100,000 years. Astronomers and space scientists worldwide were jaw-dropped. Renteria concluded that, overall, it seems that progress on earthquake preparedness has been limited. Simply put, sufficient resources and priority have not been devoted to this effort. An earthquake will happen any time, any place, any season, and under any condition. Ready for that? If not, check out the government website on preparedness at www.embc.gov.bc.ca

What is B.C.’s grand treaty plan? Re: Treaty trouble has deep roots (B.C. Views, Chilliwack Progress, April 1). No one would disagree that the B.C. treaty process hasn’t been as successful as hoped. Indeed, there are also many First Nations who think it is the wrong process of reconciliation altogether. However, that doesn’t excuse Premier Christy Clark’s recent decision to blindside B.C.’s treaty partners by refusing to appoint George Abbott as head of the B.C. Treaty Commission. Although it might be comforting to think that Premier Clark’s

reckless behaviour was done in consultation with the federal government, there is simply no evidence to suggest that. Not only did Jerry Lampert, the federal government’s appointee to the treaty commission, say Ottawa was as surprised as the other parties to the process, but on March 26, NDP Leader John Horgan stood in the legislature and asked Premier Clark three times whether she had discussed her plans with the federal government, and she did not contradict the words of Mr. Lampert. If the B.C. Liberal government has a grand plan for reinventing

the treaty process, they aren’t sharing it with any of their constitutional partners. B.C.’s approach to reconciliation needs to be re-energized so that First Nations, resource workers and those seeking to bring new investment to B.C. can have certainty. This means not only fixing the treaty process, but doing more work to find a way forward with First Nations who have chosen a different path. That means working together, not going it alone.

Scott Fraser New Democrat spokesperson for Aboriginal Relations MLA for Alberni-Pacific Rim

Bill 11 an attack on democracy The government of B.C. is at it again. With the introduction of Bill 11, the sitting government of B.C. seeks to displace legally elected officials (i.e. school boards) if the minister believes (..) it is in the public interest to do so.” The minister, of course, is the minister of education, who holds no post secondary degree, so he will merely be guided by his ‘belief’ if this bill passes. Most of us have seen textbook definitions of a government seeking to displaced legally elected officials. Most of us know what these

people are called. Will we allow this to happen in Canada? If this isn’t bad enough, Bill 11 will also make possible for private information about our students to be “used” by corporations as is now being done in the United States. Not surprising I suppose, as this government has already contemplated doing this with private patient data, so that more corporations could profit. Do you have children? I do, and I do not want private corporations to have access to minute details about them. Why would

a government propose to delete Section s. 170 of the School Act that makes the disclosure of students’ private information an offence? Bill 11 also includes references to the government seeking to control teacher’s Pro-D days, and this is the part of Bill 11 that you have seen or heard in the news. What most have not heard, is that these days are not paid working days for teachers. Nevertheless, the same person who holds no post secondary degree wishes to tell highly trained professionals what to do to improve at

their job. Not only that, but on days these same people are not paid for. Make sense of it if you can. Lastly, don’t be fooled: The bit on Pro-D days was included to distract from the blatant attack on democracy described above, because most people don’t know what the teacher’s Pro-D days are for or that they are not paid for. Is this a B.C. you want to live in? If not, please do something about it, before it’s too late.

Debt will be Conservative legacy When the federal Conservatives took power in 2006 the past government had paid down Canada’s national debt by $86 billion leaving a debt of $481.5 billion. The Harper government has since increased the national debt to $634 billion, or a 24 per cent increase which is the largest by any government in our history making this an irrefutable record of the current government. Voters can chew on this while watching those false and self-

serving commercials touting the “Economic Action Plan” and other pre-election goodies paid for by their hard earned tax dollars while they enjoy Hockey Night in Canada. Swallow while considering the fact that we will have to wait for this oh, so successful regime to cobble together a 2015 budget that will induce us to forget the massive amount of money they have wasted in the past nine years. Also it is important to resist the urge to gag on that piece of Ebenezer bean from the spectre

of a “Balanced Budget”. I suspect that Mr. Oliver, taking as always direct orders from PM Harper, has picked April 21 in an attempt to divert attention away from the Duffy trial with all of its expected details of Tory party malfeasance with a plethora of delectable election goodies all wrapped up in a nice take away bag for our enjoyment.

Kelsey Carlson of Sardis secondary created an online petition to the B.C. education minister to amend the curriculum for Planning 10 (a mandatory course) to include a teaching unit on tolerance. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Setting a course for change to curriculum Jessica Peters The Progress “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Ya, right. It’s well known that hate speech, derogatory remarks, and racial slurs can cause irreparable harm. Despite a massive push for tolerance over the past several decades, there is still a long way to go before discrimination and racism could be considered eradicated. “We’ve made some really great progress but we’ve got a long way to go,” said Kelsey Carlson, a Sardis secondary student. So she has devised a plan that could help stamp out discrimina-

tion at a quicker rate. She’s written a heartfelt petition and posted it on change.org, asking the province to add a unit on discrimination to Planning 10. The course already covers some basic life skills, and is a requirement for Grade 12 graduation. To Carlson, the course seems like the perfect place for change. She’s hoping to get the attention of the minister of education, Peter Fassbender, through both her online petition and an accompanying letter-writing campaign. And her plan is gaining momentum; the B.C. Teachers Federation published her petition in their publication, the BCTF Social Justice Newsletter, alongside a list of units

that teachers can choose to work into their classrooms. Her petition is titled “Combat discrimination by adding a unit about the negative impact of hate speech and inequality in modern Canadian society to the Planning to curriculum.” “As a student of the public school system for the past 13 years, I have noticed a deplorable and ignominious habit of discrimination and prejudice among my fellow students,” she wrote. “This discrimination usually takes the form of slurs or other forms of verbal abuse, and is targeted towards individuals who are marginalized by their ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, income level,

level of physical and cognitive ability, and/or mental illness.” So far, 225 people have signed and left comments encouraging Carlson to continue her work. It wouldn’t be the first time Planning 10 was fine-tuned. The course was first used as as pilot project at nine secondary schools in 2003. A B.C.-wide curriculum was finalized and put into use the following year, then updated the last time in 2007. There are four prescribed learning outcomes for the course, which are graduation program, education and careers, health and finances. Under the health outcome are the topics healthy living, health information, healthy relationships and

health decisions. Under healthy relationships, the PLO for the course aims to include tips on “safe and caring schools, preventing and responding to harassment and intimidation, and promoting diversity.” Carlson hopes the focus on Planning 10 could shift more in that direction and away from some of the career prep that most students have tackled by that point in their lives. She came up with the idea in November, after taking part in a community-wide discussion led by the school board concerning the future of education in Chilliwack. Continued: CHANGE/ p16

Change.org petition gathering positive support across B.C. CHANGE from page 11 “If there were one course you’d like to teach,” the discussion facilitator asked, “what would it be?”

“That got me thinking,” Carlson said. “We do have a Social Justice 12 course, but it’s an elective so if you’ve signed up for it, (teachers) are mostly just

preaching to the choir.” But if discrimination awareness were a mandatory part of the curriculum, she said, there would naturally be a big push toward greater

acceptance of diversity. She hasn’t heard any feedback from Fassbender yet, but she’s received plenty of support from people across the province

who’ve signed the petition. “This is such a relevant topic,” writes Emily Arnold from Surrey. “Not enough people are being taught about how

harmful their words can be. I’ve seen verbal abuse escalate to the point of suicide attempts from people I care about. Unfortunately the school system isn’t

doing enough to help minority students and students with mental health issues.” And from Debra Nelson in North Vancouver: “Anything that can help cultivate tolerance is a move in the right direction. Ignorance has ruled for too long.” K a t h e r i n e Desormeaux wrote, “As a teacher and a believer in the initiative started by Martin Luther King J. I feel that this is valuable lesson that should be taught to all Canadians when they are still at an age where their beliefs can be influenced in a positive direction.” The positive comments go on and on, and serve as encouragements to Carlson when she checks in online. While she doesn’t identify as being a visible minority susceptible to discrimination, she was bullied in middle school and knows what it’s like to be singled out. It’s that experience, she said, that opened her eyes to the plights of others. Perhaps if more students were made aware of how their comments are perceived, even those made as a joke, a simple lesson in tolerance could change their behavior. “To know better is to do better,” she said, a sentiment she herself learned from her mother. She’s asking that anyone who supports her petition gets online and signs it, and uses social media in a positive way to share the link.

Huskers remake coaching staff

Is there better way?

Eric J. Welsh,

The current BCHL playoff format needs changing,

The Progress

Valley Huskers bench boss Adam Smith hopes a revamped coaching staff improves the on-field performance of his BC Junior Football Conference club this summer. The second year head coach has gathered a group that looks great on paper, possessing a wealth of experience on both sides of the border. Smith believes his new coaches should sell potential players on joining the Huskers. New offensive coordinator Ian Rosier comes from the east coast, with stops at CIS schools Windsor and Mount Allison. Coming from a spreadof fence background, Rosier’s also worked with the NCAA’s Wayne State Warriors in Detroit, MI. “He’s a matchup coach who’s going to take what the defence gives us, and his systems are good for undermanned teams going against big-name teams,” Smith said. “His college teams were never powerhouses, but they always competed well against the big schools.” Last year’s defensive coordinator, the likeable and intense Cory Hamade, has departed for family and work reasons. Into the void steps former Husker head coach Jeff Whitehead, who held assistant coaching roles the last few seasons with the Husker and high school GW Graham Grizzlies. “I’ve been working with Jeff since I moved out here, and he’s got so much professionalism,” Smith said. “He’s great with recruiting and great with the kids. He’s a great football mind who’s needed an opportunity to

writes Jacob Bestebroer I need to start this column by ensuring everyone knows that the opinions expressed here are mine and mine only. The BCHL’s current playoff format needs more discussion when the league governors meet this summer. For two reasons, I’m stopping short of saying it definitely needs to change. One, I may not know all the facts. I w as not involved in the was meetings that led to the current format. Two, I’m not a team owner w ho takes on the finanwho cial risks that come with owning a junior hockey team. By the time you read this, we’ll know whether the Chiefs season is over or whether it continues Saturday night. As I w rite this, I don’t know write because it depends on a game that was played T hursday night. Thursday That game did not involve the Chiefs. Wait, what? It’s true. The Penticton Vees were in Nanaimo last night and the Chiefs season is only alive if Penticton won that game. And get this. Penticton did not need to win. They had already clinched a spot in the league finals. Confused? I am. Not at how the format works, but how the format that

show everyone what kind of coach he is.” The Husker D under Whitehead should be more aggressive and in-your-face, with more blitzing and less sitting back. “We’ll see more zone coverage, letting our athletes be athletes and make plays,” Smith said. “We played a lot of man coverage last year, with a lot of confusing coverages for the kids.” Smith’s new linebacking coach is Lonnie Golson, a Ferris State grad who, according to Smith, played a short time in the old USFL. “I think we’re lucky to have found him hiding out in BC,” Smith said. “He coached community ball in North Langley, helping them win the bantam

championship. He’s a huge man and he’s intense. He’s going to bring that intensity and physical play to our defence.” The new defensive line coach is Reggie Hargrove, a graduate of the NCAA’s Louisville Cardinals who played professionally on two continents. Hargrove had National Football League stints with the Seattle Seahawks and St. Louis Rams. He tried his luck in the Canadian Football League, spending time with the BC Lions, Calgary Stampeders, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Saskatchewan Roughriders. He also played in the now defunct NFL Europe league. “He’s an amazing coach and best friends with Lonnie,” Smith said. “He’s

another intense man who’s played high level football. They’re going to be a big help in recruiting.” Smith said the decision to bring in Golson and Hargrove wasn’t just about their resumes. “For us, recruiting is about the relationships because we don’t have the money to throw around like some other teams,” Smith said. “So we want coaches who can build relationships with players and expect to be here and grow with us for a few years.” Smith has been told by outsiders that his Huskers won’t attract good coaches because of the team’s lengthy losing history. “So what impressed me most with all of these guys is the passion they all have to join the Huskers and help us grow,” he noted. “They knew about our 1-9 record Continued: HUSKERS/ p19

allows for this scenario to happen was put into place. The BCHL has three divisions that are made up based on the location of teams. There is one exception, Prince George is in the Mainland Division butt with the way the teams are spread out around the province, one exception to the rule is impossible to avoid. During the regular season each team plays every team outside their division once at home and once on the road. The balance of their games are played within their own division. This makes perfect sense as it minimizes travel costs. The issues start when we get to the playoffs. Currently the top fourr teams in each division make the playoffs and they play two seven game series that leads to a division championship being crowned. Again, by staying within the division travel costs are minimized. But after the first two rounds you are left with three teams and the question becomes “whatt now?” The current formatt has the three division champions playing a double round robin versus each other with the Continued: PLAYOFF/ p18

top two teams going on to the best of seven league finals. The problem with this format is that there is a chance it plays out the way it has this year. You have one team (Chilliwack) that had their fate decided by a game that they were not involved in and you had another team (Penticton) that was forced to travel to a Nanaimo and play a game that meant nothing to them. You can make the case that it’s the Chiefs’ fault for losing their first three games of the round robin. I understand that point and agree that there

is some validity to it. I still don’t like it. I don’t see any way to make a case that justifies Penticton having to play a game that means nothing to them. So I hope the format gets discussed and all other options are considered. Maybe fewer teams qualify for the playoffs. Maybe you keep the current format, but once you get to three teams left, the number two and three seeds play a best of five series with the winner going on to the league finals. If there is a better solution, they need to find it. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

But they’re committed to us.” On the field, Smith’s excited about the talent he’s got coming back. The entire receiving corps looks to be returning. Tyron Ledingham attended the BC Lions evaluation camp. Kaanon Felix is bypassing the University of Manitoba for one more year of junior. “Blake Draper needs to upgrade some courses or he’d be at the University of Regina this year,” Smith said.

“I think we’ll have four CIS level receivers. We just have to find a quarterback to get them the ball.” Smith’s secretive about his pivot plans. He’s got two youngsters and a veteran in mind, but he’s not naming names. “I learned last year that B.C. and Alberta are the best sources

HATT Anna “Ida” Jan. 21, 1928 ~ March 31, 2015

At home, surrounded by her loving family, Ida left us peacefully. She is predeceased by her husband Walter and her granddaughter Kristy. Ida is survived by her children, Doris, Susan, Richard and Roland, daughter-in-laws Karen and Liz, grandchildren, Alicia, Nicola, Michelle, Laurissa (Ken), Amy (Andrew), Jeremy, Ryan and great grandchildren, Olivia and Madix. She is also survived by her three siblings, Sammy, Hanna, and Hans Blapp and families in Switzerland. Ida Blapp was born in Volken, Switzerland and married Walter Hatt in 1949. The couple spent their honeymoon travelling to their new home in Agassiz, BC. Ida spent the rest of her life living on the farm they had purchased, raising their four children and growing the farm. She enjoyed travelling to Switzerland to visit her friends and family, and to other parts of the world, meeting many new people and making friends everywhere. Many thanks to the wonderful people at Abbotsford Dialysis Clinic, Dr. Rahimi and her many caregivers over the years. A memorial service will be held at the Agassiz United Church on Monday, April 6 at 11:00 am. Donations in her memory may be made to the Agassiz United Church, Canadian Kidney Foundation, the Canadian Diabetic Association or the charity of your choice.

Sadly we announce the passing of our mother on March the 29th. She was born on February 28th 1919 in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. She emigrated with her family to Mexico at 5 years of age. There she grew up, married and started her own family. In 1953 she and her young family moved to Abbotsford, B.C. In 1959 the family moved to Chilliwack where she resided until her passing. What was most important to mom was the welfare of her children. She will be fondly remembered by her eight children Jake, George (Faye), Cornelius (Roberta), Tina, Mary, Margaret (Dennis), Peter (Terri), and Bill (Nola). Numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Cornelius in 1994 and son-inlaws Murray Apps in 2006 and John Adamson in 2008. Also by grand-daughter Anita Lewis in 2013. Memorial Service to be held at Eden Memmonite Church, Tuesday April 7th at 2:00pm, tea to follow. McLean’s (604)847-3477
