Doorstep theft prompts call for help Jessica Peters The Progress
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Do what you can to stay cool, Chilliwack! The blistering hot temperatures aren’t coming down any time soon. There could be another week of sweltering days in store. Chilliwack just suffered through “easily the hottest June in Chilliwack in over 120 years,” according to volunteer weather observer Roger Pannett. The temperatures are hovering at about four degrees above normal. It’s also been the driest June, with a paltry 8.5 mm of rain, since last time it set a record low in 1965 of only re 112 mm of rain, he said. The forecast is for Easily the more hot air shimmerhottest June in ing under the sizzling sun as the unrelenting heat Chilliwack in wave continues to bake over 120 years Chilliwack and the rest of southern B.C. A heat wave is defined as three ~ Roger or more days of the merPannett cury soaring above 32 C. Most of southern B.C. has seen temperature records fall, drought-like conditions, high UV ratings and bad air quality. By the end of Saturday, June 27 there was a new record high temperature in Chilliwack with 34.8 C for that day. That was the fortieth high temperature record to fall in Chilliwack in 2015, said Pannett. With a record high minimum of 20 C overnight and then a max high of 33 on Monday, it meant the ‘mean temperature of 26.5 C on June 29 was slightly more than 10 degrees above normal, and a record for that day in June. Scorchingly hot temperatures can adversely affect salmon, said Dean Werk, president of Fraser Valley Salmon Society. “We’re always concerned about high temperatures and low flow rates in the river,” he said. It creates low oxygen conditions which can hurt fish swimming up from the mouth of the Fraser, and can lead to pre-spawn mortalities which decimate stocks. Anything about 19 degrees C in-river can be down-

SERIOUS PROTECTION
A unique pair of dogs were quietly snatched from their yard in the middle of the night this weekend. But these dogs couldn’t fight back, or even growl to alert their owners. They are a set of ceramic glazed statues, that were sitting as sentinels in the doorway of Joanna and Gordon Randall’s Chilliwack home. They’ve been sitting there for about 10 years, smiling away at anyone who stopped by. But sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning, they were dognapped. The Randalls are hopeful that the pair will be returned, as they have plenty of sentimental value. One of the only clues to the mystery comes from a neighbour’s security camera. Activated by a motion sensor, it caught a glimpse of a black SUV pulled up to the Randall’s house, sometime around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. That information has been given to the police, along with a full description of the dogs. But the Randall’s are pleading with anyone who sees the dogs to make sure they’re returned to their rightful owners. Before the statues were placed on the Randall’s doorstep, they sat for 30 to 40 years at Joanna Randall’s mother’s house in Vancouver. “When my mother died, I inherited them,” she said. “They’re impossible to replace.” Continued: DOGS/ p4

Aquifer not at risk in heat wave, city officials say Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack boasts an award-winning water source with the underground Sardis-Vedder Aquifer. But The Progress wondered precisely how the deep reservoir is holding up, especially when there are extreme hot weather conditions in place like there are now, with more in the forecast. City officials responded to explain they are carefully monitoring any hot weather impacts on the Sardis-Vedder aquifer, which is located north of the Vedder River in Sardis and extends to Highway 1, and out to the Abbotsford border to the west, and to Prest Road to the east. Right now there are no impacts
in evidence, according to engineering staff. Water levels typically dip in summertime anyway but the levels don’t vacillate in response to heat waves of several days, said staff. Under the layers of rock, sand and gravel, it would take months of prolonged heat to reduce reservoir levels to any substantial degree. If they do see levels of concern, they’ll immediately do what they can to reduce water consumption levels. There are lawn watering restrictions in effect, with no plans right now for fining anyone not in compliance. They will post a notice at the residence if there is evidence of watering on the wrong day, and staff will respond to tips about possible water misuse.
City staff are reaching out to the neighbourhood, rather than exacting strict enforcement with penalties, in order to increase the education levels, and to make it clear it’s not necessary to water four times a week. They’re currently moving to initiate a study on the low flows in the Chilliwack-Vedder river. Staff is planning to bring in the consultant early to conduct the work to ensure the city’s future water source is sustainable. Also they’ll scope out Stage 2, to answer the question of what can be done if more water is extracted than can be sustained. 1. What factors have an impact on water levels? “The water level of the aquifer is impacted by the amount of water
available for recharge and the amount of water taken by the city and other water users. Typically in the summer there is a reduction in aquifer level and then it returns to maximum level in the fall. Staff will closely monitor aquifer levels and Vedder River levels as the summer progresses. Their SCADA system makes it possible to monitor these levels on a full-time basis from the operations department.” 2. Does the heat wave make watering restrictions more important? “During hot dry summers it is important to balance the city’s needs for water with the habitat needs of local creeks and rivers. The watering restrictions are a critical component of the city’s efforts to keep Chilliwack’s water

to.” Because while she loves it when the deer eat the morning glory that’s taken over her yard, there are many potential dangers for deer in the city. “One of my neighbours here was trying to slow traffic down in the morning, when people were driving by,” she said. Of course, nobody expects that a couple of young deer will be wandering onto city streets. “It would be very traumatic for anyone (to hit a deer), but I guess there’s nothing anybody can do,” she said. “For some reason, they want to go across town.” There are about 8,000

vehicle collisions with deer in B.C. every year. But it’s also important to try to deter deer from urban areas, says WildSafe BC. Because once deer move into a neighbourhood, it’s difficult to remove them. And they do more harm than trampling garden beds and decimating rose bushes. They can be dangerous to family pets, even killing dogs and cats they see as threats. They also attract predator y animals of their own into urban neighourhoods, including cougars. WildSafe BC warns people to be cautious around deer and to never approach them. Deer may lay their ears
back and lower their head before attacking. If attacked, try to stay upright, cover your head with your arms and find shelter. To discourage deer, use species that are less attractive to deer, install fencing, cover shrubs and trees in the winter, scare them away with motion activated sprinklers or lights, and chase them off your property, without injuring them. If you have fruit trees, collect fruit often. Deer that are no longer afraid of pets or people should be reported to the conservation officer, by calling 1-877952-7277.
Chilliwack fire officials say a fire that destroyed a downtown building Monday afternoon was deliberately set. The fire, which broke out around 2:30 p.m. in the 45000 block of Railway Ave., was fully involved when firefighters arrived. Minutes earlier someone in a neighbouring building noticed smoke and flame coming from the wood structure and called 911. Flames quickly tore through roof of the building as a crowd gathered to watch. Sparks crackled from live hydro lines and firefighters poured on water to protect nearby structures. The building sustained major fire damage and had to be demolished. The fire was deliberately set and is under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP. If anyone has any information about this fire, they are asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca

The Progress A couple of deer laid tracks through downtown Chilliwack Monday morning, surprising several residents along the way. They popped up in Betty Cockriell’s garden at Henderson Avenue and College Street, sauntering around without any apprehension at all. “I almost got to touch it,” she said. “They were ver y young deer and they came between our two trailers. I was standing at the back and I’ll be darned if she didn’t come. I was so close I could have petted her.” Of course, as much as she was tempted, Cockriell said she knew better and let the deer have its space. “But she showed no fear, no apprehension.” This is the third time they’ve noticed deer in the neighbourhood over the past six months, after almost 11 years of never seeing them in the area. “They’re very quiet,” she said. “They didn’t make any noise at all, if we didn’t see them we wouldn’t even know they were here.” The last time they noticed deer in the neighbourhood, they ended up calling the conservation officer. The deer in that case was corralled and tranquilized, to be moved to a less urban location. But this time, the deer were left to wander through town. “I wish they would stay where they were safe,” Cockriell said. “Unfortunately it looks like they aren’t going
demands at sustainable levels.” 4. Is there anything the city does to minimize our impact on our airshed? City officials have been concerned about the airshed for some time. There is an anti-idling policy in effect for municipal vehicles and they’ve taken steps to reduce energy use (and emissions) from facilities through initiatives such as the landfill gas capture system, boiler upgrades at the WWTP, and enhancing the fleet with the acquisition of an electric car. Chilliwack is also active in wider airshed improvement programs by partnering with agriculture and through supporting the Fraser Valley Regional District’s opposition of the Metro Vancouver incinerator.

Homeowner wants dogs returned DOGS from Front She had them made, they said, so there won’t be any others like them out there. They’re also unique in that they are also incense burners. With incense burning in their mouths, the smoke is released out of their nostrils. They each stand about knee-high, and are very ornate. They could catch the eye of someone thinking they have resale value. While they are made of glazed ceramic, they do have the appearance of jade. That may have been what attracted the thief, the Randalls said. However, each piece only weighs about 35 lbs., much less than what jade would weigh in at. Still, they aren’t something that could simply be carted away by hand. And because the Randalls live on a quiet, dead-end street, they think the theft was pre-planned. This isn’t the first theft they’ve had from their yard. About a year and a half ago, their collection of garden gnomes were taken in the middle of the night, too. But those were found just down the road, smashed to bits. They hope the statues are still in one piece, and hope they are returned home soon. Anyone with information on the statues is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP. jpeters@theprogress.com

Hot weather continues HOT from Front right deadly for the prized salmon, especially sockeye because of the timing. “Fisheries will likely be curtailing sport fishing, and if that is what we have to do, then we will support that. Anything hot is not good. We could end up with disrupted migrations.� An air quality advisory for the Fraser Valley went out over the week-
end due to high concentrations of ground-level ozone, and was cancelled Monday morning after the small amount of rainfall through Sunday decreased the poor AQ levels. But the drought continues as the sun shines down unabated. Experts always recommend that people avoid strenuous activities especially when air quality is poor, and the bad AQ sees infants and the elderly suffer, as well as those with chronic health
conditions, like heart disease and lung conditions. It’s a good idea to check on any seniors living alone during a prolonged heat wave, who may not have any family around, said Coletta Holmes, executive director of the Chilliwack Seniors’ Resource Society. Being homebound can increase the feeling of isolation, she said. As well a recent bus trip to the Interior was of great concern to many, because of the extreme

Canada Day has long been the unofficial start of summer. This week, school playgrounds stood quiet for the first time in a long time as students traded their books for beachwear. But Chilliwack residents could be excused for thinking summer started months ago. It has been hot, and unseasonably dry for the past three months. And that’s not just a casual observation; it’s borne out by the statistics. (See story, page 1.) The hot weather is expected to continue this week, with consecutive days of above 30 degree heat, and Sunday’s high expected to reach 34C. For some, the warm weather is a welcome change from our dark and sometimes dreary winters. For others, however, it poses a real risk. Seniors in particular are vulnerable to the extreme heat. Not only is it more difficult for their bodies to regulate temperatures, but the heat may also exacerbate other medical conditions. Chilliwack has a great tradition of helping elderly residents clear snow in the wintertime. We need to be equally vigilant during the summer. If you know someone who may be affected by the hot weather, offer them a ride to the grocery store, even if the distance is short. Ensure they have adequate supplies at home. Or just check on them from time to time to make sure everything is all right. Of course, there are precautions we should all take in this heat. Proper hydration and the liberal application of sunscreen is a must. And remember your pets. A car becomes a coffin in just minutes even if the windows are open. Leave your animals at home, or take them with you. But never leave them in a vehicle. Weather experts are predicting a hot dry summer for B.C. But it won’t be long before we’re all complaining about the rain again. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress
B.C. V IEWS
B.C. still the Wild West for elections VICTORIA – The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics. When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provocative name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of U.S. politics. HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding. HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week. “We have contributed to a new
discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.” Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that mutTom tering began about FLETCHER “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, AntiConser vative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media. Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a unionfinanced action committee that he
said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy rightwing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads. Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.) Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-

Progress
campaign” period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech. The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections. Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party. This spring the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates. NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage
for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House. The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for thirdparty campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else. Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

More important things than ‘climate change’ lands along the North Sea is one of cool and wet weather. While we had a mild winter, folks in the Eastern part of Canada would beg to disagree, never mind the people living in Buffalo. The receding of the Columbia Icefields is first documented by a peg from 1925. The pegs indicating the recess continue up to the present age at regular distances. What is it that we did in 1925 that caused concern? Certainly not C02 expulsion! If this summer turns out to be the hottest year globally, it will be the first time that the temperature is on the upswing again since the late ‘90s, where as our much maligned CO2 expulsion has increased globally by approximately 30 per cent during that time. Increasingly scientists, whose grants don’t depend on the Environmental Movement or Oil Companies, look to the Sun as the great manipulator of our climate. If the Sun’s “hibernation” cycles continue as they have in the past, we are in for the bicentennial cooling period. The last one was experienced in 1815 and later. The latest information on global temperature statistics would support that supposition irrespective whether
2015 proves to be the hottest year for a certain part of B.C. or not. In the scheme of climate changes we are but ants on their hill in pretending to influence the worldwide climate. Naive at best, arrogant at worst. Our governments have never let a created crisis go by without maximizing its potential and the current hyper activity on global warming/climate change is no different. Think of the Club of Rome Report, Paul Ehrlich’s population scare, Y2K, just to mention a few. None of these actually occurred. Over the ages enormous worldwide catastrophic events have occurred. None of these were caused by humans. Why then fall for the present scaremongers. Perhaps we should be concentrating on all the shrink wrap that accompanies every product, or the use of plastic bottles instead of recyclable glass ones, or the fact that Nestle is getting away with a steal on our water when they sell it for approximately. $ 0.53 per liter (shrinkwrapped and in plastic bottles) and buy it for about a $1.25 per million liters. It indeed takes a calculator to figure out the difference to Nestle’s advantage. G.Vande Bunte
Dairy industry failing to support local farmers Re: trade deal bad deal dair y farmer (Chilliwack Progress, June 26). OK, let’s auger down a bit on the dairy industry. The statement , “the voice of dairy farmers has been sadly lacking.” Yes I feel this is very true. Let’s look a bit of history FVMP (Dairyland brand), was formed to control and stabilize milk production, owning processing plants, real estate, throughout B.C., as well as truck tankers. This was all paid for, and was making a very handsome profit, and was returned to farmers on their quality of milk. The dairy industry employed a
great many, with a good wage, across the board. Fast for ward: a small fish swallowed the larger fish and the FVMP dairy industry went down with out a whimper. This was the biggest garage sale of a CO-OP to a publicly traded company, the quiet farmers did not get one share, and sat on their hands. The dairy farmers did not even try to consider a new financial plan. Nothing was said, nope nothing in the papers or on TV. Oh yeah, the farmers can still ship milk according to what the company states their interpretation of quota rules. Fast forward more:
the publicly traded company, paid off the $136 million dollars and made a profit in less than the first year. Fast forward this publicly traded company started adding dry milk protein, oops, profit up 23 per cent. Nope farmers said nothing. Fast forward: The Canadian dairy industry recently acknowledge in a confidential briefing paper leaked to the Globe and Mail that imports of milk protein isolates are creating a glut of milk north of the border. These new milk products can enter Canadian from U.S.A. duty Free and are being used by processing companies at the
expense of Canadian milk. Element point: processing plants are injecting protein isolates, a dried recycled milk protein from not only the U.S.A., but any cheap world wide supplier. For consideration of the trans pacific partnership trade, yup, it will do no good for B.C. Dairy cultured products, prices will not come down, jobs will be lost. The ball is in your court, Julaine Treur, how the dairy industry responds will have a lasting effect on B.C. economic development of jobs. Fred Petersen Chilliwack BC

Ms. Evans can always be counted on to ring the bells of alarm with respect to the alleged andropogenic climate change, a.k.a. global warming. So it happened again with your Friday June 26 issue, where the impending heat wave for the Lower Mainland and Interior of BC, in her opinion is proof on the pudding. However, Ms. Evans also studiously avoids any other information that is readily available that would agree with the fact that climate is changing as it has over the last thousands of years, but that the human influence was as negligible then as it is now. This flow of one-sided information to which the Chilliwack Progress is no stranger either by systematically ignoring opposing opinions, seriously puts in question the quality of information readers get to digest. Climate excesses will occur in the future as they have in the past. While B.C. is experiencing sweltering heat and drought that indeed may impede our crops and blow records, friends who are touring Norway report the locals apologizing for the extremely low temperatures and the amount of snow still existent. While Paris had a warm spell, the general picture of the

Chilliwack Community Arts Council ED Patti Lawn and city councillor Sam Waddington are looking forward to the launch of Art Under The Umbrella on July 11 in Central Community Park. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS
Art comes together under the umbrella Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Get ready for Art Under the Umbrella, a new downtown arts festival celebrating all that local artists can possibly offer. Musicians, dancers, painters, artisans, and contemporary artists will be coming together, July 11, for a fun-filled day in Central Community Park. “The purpose of this festival is to give an opportunity, not just for artists and artisans to present their work, but to also provide an opportunity to bring people together in fun and enjoyment to the downtown area while discovering new and exciting things it has to offer,” said Arts Council executive director Patti Lawn. Art Under the Umbrella, by
Chilliwack Community Arts Council, will be presented in partnership with the Downtown Chilliwack BIA. It’s everything from art demos and live painting, to performance art and art installations, including a Paint the Town segment, where artists paint what they see. The festival will attract a range of talented artisans selling their wares, as well as food trucks, as attendees meander through downtown Chilliwack streets. Organizers with Contemporary Art Chilli/Wack Festival are also joining forces with Art Under the Umbrella to introduce contemporary and conceptual styles of art to local audiences, as well as collaborating with other arts groups. A strong emphasis will be on performance art and theatre.
“It’s going to be neat to see a downtown space like that animated with such a diversity of arts and culture,” said Sam Waddington, city councillor and chair of the public art committee. “I think the festival will be a catalyst for change. They’re recognizing the importance of the various arts to the area.” Consider the unique piece by Carrielynn Victor, called ‘Mountain Goat Women’, to be displayed on a beautiful heritage building near Five Corners.Her art will be laser cut onto MDF panels by Steeltec Industries, with materials donated by Home Depot. Check out a silkscreen piece, ‘A Sign From Above’ by Jonathan Hodges, or a ‘Floating Tree’ piece with materials donated by Tom
Thompson Autoglass Ltd. and art installations by Kelly Oberholtzer, Vanessa Dueck, Karen Ireland, Rose Marie Kossowan and Dorothy Scudamore, just to name a few. Dancers from Creative Outlet studio will be performing contemporary dance. It’s going to be a spectacular outing downtown poring over the work of local artists, exploring shops, sampling food. To join the festival as an artisan vendor a Paint the Town artist or other, contact the Arts Council at chilliwackartscouncil.com or 604-7692787. Contemporary artists or dancers can contact lp_devette@ hotmail.com for more details. Art Under the Umbrella, Saturday July 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Central Community Park in DT Chilliwack.
Local rockers Chilled Clarity are gearing up for a great gig on July 4 at the Echo Room. The band will be joined on stage by another indie band, The Mudsharks 3, who play a blend of rock, alt rock and heavy country. It’s been a while since Chilled Clarity has performed for crowds in Chilliwack, and they’re looking forward to it. “It’s weird, I’ve always been more nervous playing closer to home,” says lead singer Bronson Rasmussen. They plan to share what they’re up to musically, including some new band members. “Our summer should be very exciting with our first music video shoot coming up,” says Rasmussen. Chilled Clarity has been working with Andrew Gerard bring their song ‘Claire’ to life on film. “This is our next big step,” he adds. The boys will be taking the stage with a band that Rasmussen has some connection to through his day job. “I know the Mudsharks’ drummer, Doug Neufeld, quite well. We work together at Ecycle Solutions, and we often talk rock music. He is celebrating his birthday that night, and it’s the big Five-O, so I’m gladly sharing the occasion.” See more at http://chilledclarity.com or check out the Mudsharks 3 on Facebook.
Chilled Clarity is at the Echo Room in Chilliwack July 4.

“ITS FOR THE KIDS”
NEW STARFISH BACKPACK PROGRAM By Allison Colthorp Many children in Chilliwack come to school hungry on Monday mornings. The Chilliwack Rotary Club recognizes the need and has found an initiative that will help start to alleviate this very big community issue. The Starfish Backpack Program was created by the Abbotsford Rotary Club who heard the need from the teachers hearing the cries of their students. This year the program will be implemented in 3 additional communities including Chilliwack in the fall. The program is simple. We send children home with a backpack full of food for themselves, and subsequently their families, for the weekends during the school year. Due to the support we have received from the community, the Chilliwack Rotary Club is excited to announce that we will be sponsoring 25 backpacks for the children that need it the most. Other groups have also provided their support and will be playing a big role in the implementation of the program including the Leadership students at the Chilliwack Senior Secondary School who will be filling the backpacks weekly. More information will be released over the next several months. In the meantime, inquiries can be direct to Rotary Club of Chilliwack member Allison Colthorp at 604-819-6866 or at adcolthorp@shaw.ca. If you would like to join with like-minded people who want to make a positive difference, we’re always looking for enthusiastic new members. Visit our website at www.chilliwackrotaryclub. ca , or contact us at rotaryclubofchilliwack@gmail.com , or talk to any of our members. Look for their Rotary lapel pin.

Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Ex-Chief returns for summer workouts Eric J. Welsh, The Progress No matter what happens in the rest of Mathieu Tibbet’s hockey career, he’ll always have this. He’s Mr. Delaware. Each year the NCAA recognizes the best players from each of the 50 states. This spring the spotlight fell on the ex-Chilliwack Chief, identified as the best of the best from the Blue Hen State. “Fortunately for me there’s only two guys from Delaware,” Tibbet laughed. “There’s me and a kid who plays at Cornell.” For a state who’s official nickname is ‘The First State,’ Delaware and its inhabitants are surprisingly adept at flying under the radar. “Even when you talk about it with people who live in the States, they’re like, ‘What’s Delaware?’” he chuckled. “Yeah. It’s pretty funny.” Tibbet, who hails from the really really little town of Viola (pop. 157 according to a 2010 census), has emerged from obscurity to forge himself a nice hockey career. A Chief from 2011-14, he just finished his first season of NCAA hockey with the Merrimack College Warriors, a team that plays in the competitive Hockey East conference. Tibbet had a solid freshman campaign with six goals, 14 points and 30 penalty minutes in 35 outings. Back in Chilliwack for summer training with Paul Nicolls and Xceed Training, he took a break between reps to reflect. “I took it as show up and work hard and get in the lineup, and I didn’t expect to end up sixth in team scoring and all that,” Tibbet said, looking back. “I really didn’t expect to do as well as I did, so I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.” Always a fast skater in the BCHL, Tibbet was worried
A hard-charging board battler during his Chilliwack Chief days, Mathieu Tibbet (No. 20 in white) was recognized by the NCAA as the top collegiate hockey player from Delaware. JENNA HAUCK PROGRESS FILE
about whether his wheels would hold up against NCAA foes. “I was still one of the fastest guys on the ice and didn’t really have any problems with the speed part,” he said. “Strength is another thing. I was one of the bigger guys in the BCHL, but some of the guys I’m playing against now have been on college lifting programs for three or four years.” “I guess timing was the other big difference, where I had to do things just a little bit faster.” Merrimack’s a smaller school and hockey’s the only division one sport on
campus. “It was always my dream to play college hockey, not pro, so it was kind of fulfilling that dream and making it real,” he said. “It was everything I wanted it to be and more.” “It sounds weird to say, but it was cooler than I expected.” Tibbet was part of a strong rookie class that took the lead for the Warriors. A freshman, Brett Seney, led the team in points (26). Another newbie, Jace Hennig, led the team in goals with 14. “Jace was in Coquitlam when I was here and so
was one of our freshman defencemen, Marc Biega,” Tibbet said. “They always chirp me and wear their Fred Page Cup championship hats (from 2014). We have fun with it.” Tibbet didn’t see many of his ex-Chief teammates throughout the season. He never got to stare down Mitch Gillam, now the top goalie at Cornell, though he will this coming season. “Ben Masella and St. Lawrence come to us too, so that’ll be exciting,” he noted. “I did see Alex (PerronFontaine) when we played at the Mariucci Classic in Minnesota.”
The highest tech.
“I don’t think I played anyone else, although I did see (Philip) Zielonka at an airport in December.” Tibbet studied finance last year and has decided to make his life more difficult by adding a second major (economics). “It might be difficult and I guess I’ll figure it out coming up, but we have some guys doing engineering degrees and that’s just outrageous,” Tibbet said. “I was out of school for three years before coming here, but I was pretty good in high school and I think I finished last semester with a 3.85 GPA.” Back to the ice,
Merrimack struggled through last season, going 5-14-3 in Hockey East play. Another year older and wiser, Tibbet thinks his crew can accomplish big things. “We’re going to do better, for sure, and I think we can get to playoffs and make a run for it,” he said. “Individually, sometimes you play bad and get two points and sometimes you play great and get nothing. So I don’t like to attach numbers to my expectations. I’m just planning on going with the flow and seeing what happens.” Get US college hockey info at uscho.com

The BCHL has released its full schedule for the 2015-16 season. The Chilliwack Chiefs open their 58 game regular season slate Sept. 12, hosting the Coquitlam Express
at Prospera Centre. The last three years the Chiefs have played their official ‘home opener’ after the BCHL Showcase. This year, Chilliwack will play four games before the Showcase, following the Express game with road games in Merritt (Sept. 18), Vernon (Sept. 19) and Salmon Arm (Sept. 20). The Showcase weekend, in Chilliwack Sept. 24-27, sees them ‘visit’ Penticton and host Victoria.
With the Wenatchee Wild joining the BCHL, there are now 17 teams and there will be 493 games on the 2015-16 calendar. Again, the league plays a full interlock schedule, with each team hosting and visiting every other team at least once. The Wild are joining the Chiefs, Express, Surrey Eagles, Langley Rivermen and Prince George Spruce Kings in the Mainland division. Chilliwack will see
Wenatchee for the first time Oct. 21, when the Wild visit. Because travel to Wenatchee is so taxing, the Chiefs will give it the Prince George treatment. Chilliwack will only travel to Washington State twice, and they’ll play back-toback games when they do. The regular season concludes Feb. 28 with playoffs starting March 4. ●
Last

Thiessen tops Kelowna field Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mitchell Thiessen continues to roll on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour. Thiessen traveled to Kelowna last weekend for the MJT Ford Series at the Harvest Golf Club, finishing first in the juvenile boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division. Playing a 6,570 yard
course layout, the 16 year over whelmed opponents with holeto-hole consistency. Thiessen finished both rounds at even-par, which is more than any of his 14 foes could manage. Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marcus Apchin was closest, finishing four strokes back with a four-over-par 76. Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Justin Gaukel placed third with a five-over-par 77. The next major chal-
lenge for Thiessen is the Odlum Brown Classic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; PGA of BC Junior Championship, taking place July 27-29 at Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northview Golf and Country Club. MJT alumni include top-rated players such as PGA stars Nick Taylor, Adam Hadwin and Roger Sloan, and LPGA Players Sue Kim, Samantha Richdale and Soo Bin Kim. Get more info online at maplejt.com

Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Clapp was undone by a horrible first round at the Syncrude Boreal Open golf tournament. The PGA Tour Canada event was held last weekend in Fort McMurray, AB.
Clapp came out of the gate with a first round 77 that started with double bogeys on the second and third holes. Birdies on the fifth and sixth holes straightened him out a bit, but he double bogeyed again on the 16th hole and went to the clubhouse five over par. Clapp needed his best game in round two and came out on fire, carding birdies on four of the first nine holes. But a double bogey on 11 and bogey on 13 knocked him back. Though he finished strong with three birdies on the next five

It has been one year since the passing of our dear father. Dad was born on a farm in Hochfeld, Manitoba and grew up in the Steinbach area. He moved to Winnipeg and then served in the Canadian Military for a brief time before meeting the love of his life, Irene. They married in 1957, had two children and moved to Vancouver in 1965 where another two children came along. They acquired a small farm in Surrey for a few years as the children were growing up and eventually retired in Chilliwack in 1991. Retirement was spent enjoying life with friends, family and traveling south with their RV. Family was central to Dad’s life. He lost his loving Irene in December 2012 and spent his remaining time living with daughter Debbie at his home. He kept up his daily coffee visits with friends right up to the end. The Lord called him home July 2, 2014 and he is once again in the loving arms of his beloved Irene. He is loved and dearly missed by his children Debbie, Darren (Karin), Drake (Sarah), Darlene (Denis) and his six grandchildren Alexandra (Ryder), Matthew, Kirsten, Rebecca, Brittany and John.
