The welcome mat has officially been rolled out in the Chilliwack River Valley. Volunteers have put in hundreds of hours of sweat equity getting more than 70 km of trails back into tiptop shape for hikers. They’ve been brushing and clearing, putting in new foot bridges, addressing erosion and upgrading trail beds that were in need of TLC. That work is almost completed now, and the group in charge, the Chilliwack River Valley

Hiking Trails Rehabilitation Project committee, celebrated on Wednesday morning. They met up with their many supporters and partners at one of the valley’s most popular and accessible trailheads, the Bridlewood Trail. For years, it’s been a spot that many enthusiastic visitors have probably driven past without even realizing it. The trail begins at a gravel pullout near the beginning of Chilliwack River Road. From there, several sets of steep stairs that lead up into the woods as Bridlewood heads up into the heart of

Promontory. The trail also forks off to the Salmon Ridge Trail, which offers a sweeping view of the Chilliwack River Valley. It’s a favourite spot for those who know about it. But for those who didn’t even know how to find the trail, there’s no missing it now. The trail committee managed to find $75,000 in funding to help promote the valley’s best trails, and with that funding they were able to have beautiful kiosks installed at 13 different trailheads, including Bridlewood. The kiosks display a map of the area, explain the rules and cour-

tesies of hiking, and highlight many of the indigenous plants and trees in the area. The benefits of the trail improvements are numerous, and several speakers at the celebration offered congratulations to all the parties involved in making it all happen. The signs and kiosks will make finding places like Bridlewood, Lindeman and Greendrop Lakes that much easier. It’s expected the increased awareness will encourage more residents to get out and explore the trails, while adding appeal to tourists. Continued: TRAILS/ p6

A suspect wanted in connection with a multiple stabbing that left one person dead in Alberta was arrested Wednesday in Chilliwack. Jordan Wendland, 28, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning after police received a tip he had been seen in Chilliwack. He’s charged with one count of second degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault. RCMP had sought the public’s help on Tuesday after four men were stabbed Sunday morning at the Alamo Bar in the small town of Sexsmith, 20 kilometres north of Grande Prairie. Through a series of tips, police were able to narrow his likely location to a downtown Chilliwack address. The residence was cordoned off, and at approximately 6:15 a.m. the RCMP Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team entered the home and took the suspect into custody without incident. “The arrest was made possible by the combined effort of RCMP resources from Alberta and the UFVRD. These efforts re-enforce our commitment to ensuring the safety of the residents in our communities,” said Cpl. Mike Rail. Wendland remains in custody in Chilliwack, but will be transported back to Grande Prairie.

Possible lane opening to Bonny Park irks area residents Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Some residents near Bonny Park are gearing up to oppose a rezoning proposal for a 10-lot subdivision on Riverside Drive. It all centres on a lane way that backs onto Bonny Park. Vehicle access to the park could be reopened for the first time in 15 years, if the rezoning is approved. Traffic, safety and security concerns of homeowners first arose when the idea came before city council in 2000. City officials responded at the

time by installing metal barriers at the three park entrance points to block vehicle access to small, enclosed green space. “The City acknowledged this concern raised by the residents and the lane was subsequently closed off by using bollards; restricting vehicle access from Bonny Avenue, Oak Street and Williams Street,” according to the city staff report. Now, those same safety concerns are becoming an issue once again. Increased noise, vandalism, and theft are among the other worries.

More than 100 homes on Riverside enter their properties from Riverside Drive. But the proposed townhouse development would see owners also enter and exit through the public park. A number of residents who live around the “courtyard” park are trying to get the word out to their affected neighbours, who may be unaware of the proposed development and rezoning hearing on Tuesday, that could see part of the park lane way paved, and the park reopened to traffic at the Williams Street entrance.

Rolling up a sleeve for flu shot awareness Jessica Peters The Progress Mayor Sharon Gaetz happily rolled up her sleeve on Tuesday for her annual flu shot. It’s a step toward health that she never misses, and was eager to spend some time helping to dispel some myths around influenza vaccines. First of all, did it hurt? Only a bit, she admitted. Flu shots are administered into muscle tissue in the upper arm. So while there’s a bit of a pinch, it’s a different sensation than having blood drawn. In short, even people who are terrified of needles may be less prone to fainting. Gaetz is a big believer in getting an annual flu shot, since the days she and her husband Jim were both pastors. The more people you come into contact with, the more your chances are to catch the flu. As a politician, Gaetz meets people all through the day in the office, and on the road. While hand washing plays an important role in decreasing your chances of catching colds and flus, the Ministry of Health says vaccines are the best way to protect yourself. “It’s safe, effective, and free to many British Columbians, including children, seniors, pregnant women, those with chronic diseases, and more,” a government news release states. There are other ways to keep bugs at bay, they add. Wash your hands often, cough into a tissue or into your elbow, and avoid touching your own face. If you do get sick, stay home and avoid social outings. Keep tissue boxes, trash bins and hand sanitizer close at hand. Talk to your doctor if you think you are coming down with the flu, to discuss

antiviral drugs, and take all prescriptions as advised. About 3,500 people die each year in Canada from the flu, and more than 12,000 are hospitalized. Symptoms of influenza begin with a headache, chills and a cough. That stage is followed quickly by fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches, fatigue, running nose, sneezing, watery eyes and sore throat. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may also occur, especially in children. Most people will have

well as for emergency response purposes. “The applicant is also proposing 1.2m high bollards adjacent to the park along the lane way up to the development in order to alleviate concerns raised from members of the community,” according to the staff report. Also no parking and fire lane signage will be required by the city, “as a means of limiting future vehicle access” in the park area, said the report.

Riverside residents have been officially notified about the rezoning proposal, but other nearby residents may not live in properties that require official notification from the City of Chilliwack. The rezoning hearing is set for Nov. 3 to facilitate a 10-lot residential subdivision on 46118 and 46136 Riverside Drive by Richland Ventures Ltd. The plan calls for existing structures on the properties to be removed at the time of subdivision. The developer has said the lane will be used as “a secondary access” for future residents, as

uncomplicated influenza and recover from within a week or ten days, but some are at greater risk of developing more severe complications such as pneumonia. There are certain people who are more at risk for the flu, including children and adults with chronic medical conditions such as cancer, cardiac disorders, asthma, and morbid obesity, residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities, people over 65 years old, healthy children under five years old, aboriginal people, and healthy

pregnant women. The Public Health Agency of Canada says the flu vaccine is considered highly recommended healthcare workers, childcare providers, those who provide services in closed environments such as a ship crew, emergency responder, and people in direct contact during culling operations with poultry infected with avian influenza. To learn more about receiving your flu shot, visit your local pharmacy or family doctor.

Children who get lost or separated from a group while trick or treating on Saturday can jump aboard a BC Transit bus to get some help. “We always provide a safe place on all our transit buses,” explained BC Transit spokesman Mike Russell. Bus drivers will get in contact with either a BC Transit officials or RCMP to help get lost children reunited with their families. “BC Transit is looking forward to helping all the ghouls, goblins, princes, princesses and everyone else, get safely to and from their events,” according to the press release. And it’s not just during Halloween. “We offer a safe place for anyone, if someone is injured, or needs help, whether it is children or the elderly. We will always find help,” said Russell. Halloween is an exciting time and kids are often distracted by candy or costumes and not focused on basic safety. So BC Transit staff has compiled a list of safety tips: • All BC Transit buses are safe places for children who may be lost or separated from their group • Young children should be accompanied by an adult or responsible youth • Incorporate visibility aids in all costumes • Teach kids to stop at the curb, look left, right and left again, and to listen for oncoming traffic • Cross at intersections, crosswalks or street corners • Remind children never to enter anyone’s house or vehicle • Only visit homes that are visibly participating in Halloween - decorated and lights on See more about routes and services at www. bctransit.com. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Growing demand has Cyrus Center looking for help Jessica Peters The Progress Cyrus Centre workers spend their days and nights helping street youth out of tough situ-

ations. They are there to offer a place to sleep, a meal, and a place where young people can clean their clothes and have a shower. They advocate

for street youth, reconnect them with their families, and show them how to find support services. But now, the Cyrus Centre needs your help.

Both centres, in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, are running at full capacity. They see dozens of youth showing up each day to access essential services, as

the only emergency youth centres between Vancouver and the Okanagan. And despite being able to house more than 70 youth this year alone in Chilliwack,

they still end up turning others away. “We’ll get calls at one in the morning seeing if we have a bed available,” says Les Talvio, executive director. “It’s

heart breaking when it happens.” In Abbotsford, they have had to turn down 20 youths for a bed in its emergency shelter this month alone, and Talvio says he has never seen the facility that busy in its 11 years of operation. “It’s been awhile since we’ve had a vacancy (with the shelter beds). It’s been awhile since we’ve been this steady on a consistent basis,” he said. The Chilliwack centre has four emergency shelter beds and one transition bed and operates on a budget of about $310,000. They’re $70,000 short right now, and are hoping to make up the shortfall through continued donations, from businesses, churches, organizations and individuals. The Abbotsford centre, which has a slightly larger budget of about $420,000, is also behind in their budget by about $90,000. They’ve housed about 100 youth this year, and recorded more than 7,000 visits. Talvio speculates that donations are down this year due to an ongoing issue that is facing many non-profit organizations. “There’s so much demand on people’s pocketbooks … Food costs have gone through the roof, and there are so many more charitable organizations operating in Abbotsford to fight needs that are present.” Talvio hopes that two upcoming fundraisers will help alleviate some of these financial struggles. The 11th annual dessert night and silent/ live auction for the Abbotsford location takes place Friday, Nov. 6 at Northview Church, 32040 Downes Rd. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available at Cyrus Centre. For more information or to make a donation, visit cyruscentre.com or call 604-859-5773.

News Illegal smokes widely available: survey Chilliwack among the top 10 B.C. cities with the highest rates of illicit cigarettes found Jeff Nagel Black Press Contraband or counterfeit cigarettes that avoid government taxes and are often sold to teens are much more readily available in B.C. than Alberta, according to a new study. Illegal smokes made up 15 per cent of the discarded butts sampled at sites across B.C., including schools and hospitals, compared to 10 per cent in Alberta. The survey was commissioned by the Western Convenience Stores Association, which wants the province to crack down on the illegal sales. WCSA president Andrew Klukas admits his members have a motive to get more customers in their stores, but insists it’s in the public interest. “To see this going on across the street from us, to see these products being sold without tax to kids, without any age testing or any controls, is extremely frustrating,” Klukas said. The rate of illegal tobacco found in butts discarded at B.C. schools was 15.5 per cent, the highest in western Canada. Sur rey’s Tamanawis Secondary had the highest rate among B.C. schools – 19.7 per cent of discarded butts there

were illicit smokes. The rate was nearly 39 per cent outside the Passport Canada office in downtown Vancouver, nearly 32 per cent at UBC and about 25 per cent at Terrace’s Mills Memorial Hospital as well as a federal government building in Surrey’s Newton area. The association argues high taxes and other government regulations have encouraged the underground tobacco business, where consumers can get cigarettes on the cheap. “A lot of people are using these products and they simply don’t understand it’s not victimless,” Klukas said. Besides the estimated $120 million a year in lost government tax revenue, he said the trade helps fuel organized crime in B.C. and across the country. Most of the unauthorized smokes sold in B.C. are produced on aboriginal reserves in Quebec or Ontario and are smuggled across the country, Klukas said. He said B.C. could follow other provinces and let municipal police forces keep the proceeds of crime, giving them a financial incentive to tackle smuggled smokes. Klukas also argues the province’s finance ministry doesn’t

Black Press Lower Mainland patients are waiting so long for non-urgent MRI scans that they’re cautioned to carefully note the year of their appointment on notices. One notification obtained by Black Press for a scan in April 2016 at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Centre includes a prominent warning to “please note the YEAR of the appointment” in addition to a second reference to “note year 2016.” NDP health critic Judy Darcy said she’s aware of cases where patients got MRI appointments more than 12 months away and mistakenly showed up a year too soon. “It’s because some patients show up the wrong year,” said Darcy, calling it more evidence MRI waits are unacceptably long. A snapshot of MRI wait times for Fraser Health released through a freedom of information request shows that as of mid-August, the average wait for the least urgent (priority 4) patients was more than seven months and one out of 10 of those

patients faced a wait of at least 15 months. Just 15 per cent of Fraser patients were scheduled for an MRI within 60 days, which is the priority 4 target the health region strives for and the benchmark set by the Canadian Radiological Association. “The reason for that benchmark is your risk for further deterioration increases after that,” Darcy said. Long waits for MRIs also delay diagnosis and getting a place in oftenlengthy surgery wait lines. She said B.C.’s MRI waits are the worst in Canada. Health Minister Terry Lake, responding to a question in the Legislature about MRI delays, said the province is “working very hard” with health authorities to shorten waits. Fraser Health performed 41,347 MRIs last year, an increase of 7.5 per cent from 2013. “Although the number of MRI procedures in Fraser Health has increased, so too has the demand for MRI procedures – not just at Fraser Health but across B.C.,” said Sue Avery, executive direc-

0ver 3500 Frames to Choose From have enough staff pursuing fraud investigations. “Get some more boots on the ground and it will pay for itself,” he suggested. The top 10 B.C. cities with the highest rates of illicit cigarettes found were: Vancouver at 28.7%; Richmond at 21.2%; Terrace at 19.8%; Surrey at 17.6%; Prince George and Prince Rupert, both at 14%; Langford at 13.1%; Chilliwack at 13%; Kamloops at 12.2%; Victoria at 11.6%; and Port Coquitlam at 11.1%. Klukas said the WCSA is not lobbying government to reduce tobacco taxes, but argues they can’t be increased without first getting control of the problem. Finance ministry spokesman Jamie Edwardsen said B.C. will be requiring all legal cigarettes be sold with a new Health Canada stamp that makes them easier to distinguish from unauthorized ones. Provincial fraud investigators have an illegal tobacco tipline that accepts anonymous reports at 1-877-977-0858.

tor of medical imaging for the Lower Mainland health authorities, in an emailed statement. “It is important to note that benchmarks are currently being met for emergent cases.” Urgent cases (priority 1 and 2) do get done rapidly – most happen within their respective targets of 24 hours and seven days. But the lower priority 3 cases, which are to be done within 30 days, are waiting four and a half months on average and

just 18 per cent of them meet the benchmark. Even the lowest priority MRI scans should not be considered frivolous, Darcy said. Darcy argues the waits could be drastically shortened if the province was willing to staff and run MRI machines at later hours when they currently sit idle. “There is no reason why people could not come in at other times – including late at night – to get an MRI,” she said.

What is Fraxel®? The Fraxel® treatment is a safe, non-ablative laser skin procedure that can resurface damaged skin and uncover the youthful skin you long for.

How does it work? Fraxel® treatment uses patented fractional technology to target damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin. The laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue untouched, which promotes rapid healing. This stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, replacing the old and damaged cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.

The Chilliwack Better at Home program aims to help seniors continue to live in their homes independently, while still remaining socially connected to their community.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big step toward building â&#x20AC;&#x153;sustainable, low impact, recreational economy,â&#x20AC;? said FVRD area director Orion Engar. He called the area an â&#x20AC;&#x153;under-appreciated jewel,â&#x20AC;? one that he only discovered after returning from traveling the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had been under my nose all the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. Activities like hiking open peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes to the importance in living more sustainable, healtheir lives, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are invigorated, happier, and think more positively when we are outside,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Helen, a senior who recently had painful surgery on both knees, is required to attend physiotherapy in order for her knees to heal properly. Her surgery had left her unable to drive, clean her house or even walk. The health care staff at the hospital referred her to Chilliwack Better at Home. The Better at Home coordinator reached out to Helen and arranged an in home assessment. During their initial meeting, Helen was informed that she was eligible to receive transportation to her physiotherapy appointments and housekeeping at no cost to her. She was enrolled in the program and received housekeeping and transportation within the week. Volunteers and paid contractors provide transportation services, minor home repairs, light housekeeping and friendly visits. The Better at Home program is managed by the United Way of the Lower Mainland and funded by the Government of BC.

Councillor Sam Waddington, an avid hiker and guide, said Chilliwack is home to â&#x20AC;&#x153;some of the best backcountry trails in the world.â&#x20AC;? But the experience is not ideal when hikers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the trailheads, or get lost along the way.

P Possibly the most important step made in the project was partnering with the Tsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;elxweyeqw Tribe, who welcomed the improvements in the area. Tribe members planted species significant to their culture such as, birch, red cedar, black cottonwood, licorice fern, red flowering current, juniper, and other traditional plants.

News Quads need licence plates Nov. 1 The B.C. government is making licence plates mandatory for quads, dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles starting Nov. 1, requiring helmets and restricting use by children under 16. The B.C. legislation imposes a $230 fine for driving an unlicensed off-road vehicle, and a $368 fine for careless operation. For some offences under the Off-Road Vehicle Act related to reckless use or environmental damage, penalties can go as high as a $5,000 fine and six months in jail. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the $48 licence fee applies only

once when a vehicle is purchased, and was set to recover the costs of the program administered by ICBC. Once startup costs are paid for, a portion of the licence revenue will go to off-road clubs to use for trail improvements, Thomson said. The province estimates there are 200,000 off-road vehicles that require licensing, including snowmobiles that have been licensed since the 1970s. About 35,000 of those have registered voluntarily since the new licences were offered a year ago.

Mt. Waddingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoors presents a series of unbelievable extreme sport films Thursdays at G.W. Graham Theatre, like the Nov. 12 screening of Fade to Winter.

Series captures thrill of outdoors Sam Bates The Progress There are two new ways to get fired up about the outdoors in Chilliwack. Mt. Waddingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoors has teamed up with local high schools to bring outstanding adventure films and enthusiastic speakers to Chilliwack audiences. They kicked off the film series with a screening of Reel Rock 10 on Oct. 15. More than 100 pairs of palms were sweating in G.W. Graham Theatre as the extreme rock climbers defied all odds, and gravity itself. The series continued on Thursday evening with Ashes to Agassiz and Builder. Mt. Waddingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teamed up with new bike shop Vedder Mountain Bike Co. to present these riveting mountain biking films. Most films in the series will be projected at G.W. Graham Theatre, aside from Nov. 26 Meru at Cottonwood 4 Cinema. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This series is especially exciting,â&#x20AC;? said Damon Fultz, Graham

Theatre Coordinator. Not only do they reveal amazing athletes doing amazing things, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they reflect a healthy lifestyle, and I think we need to support that.â&#x20AC;? Many of the films feature local terrain. The upcoming Fade to Winter on Nov. 12 showcases skiers on their quest to find perfect snow around the planet, featuring bits of footage from the Chilliwack River Valley, Waddington revealed. Professional extreme skier James Heim will join moviegoers for a meet and greet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These films have travelled the world,â&#x20AC;? Sam Waddington explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really neat to see our terrain highlighted on the screen.â&#x20AC;? Working in the outdoor industry, adventure films are always on Mt. Waddingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff radar. But they thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be other people who are interested in this calibre of production,â&#x20AC;? Waddington stressed. These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Hollywood flicks, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re for and by thrill seekers. Tickets for the films are $12 in advance at Mt. Waddingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Outdoors (5643 Vedder Road), or $15 at the theatre. Fade to Winter starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments are available. In keeping with the theme, net proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Chilliwack Trail Society to help cover the costs of trail building efforts in 2016. The film series is underscored by a speaker series, taking place on alternate Thursdays, including outdoor adventurers and enthusiasts from all walks of life. The next speaker event Soul of Wilderness brings in B.C. adventurers and authors John Baldwin and Linda Bily. Baldwin and Bily will recollect the myriad of challenges and delights they experienced on their trek through the remote, wild beauty of B.C. and Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coast Mountains. Soul of Wilderness begins at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5 at Sardis Secondary Theatre. Visit mtwaddingtons.com for more information about these events and the up-to-date series schedule.

Fall driving signals need for extra caution

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

With this week’s heavy rains, roads are getting busier as those who might otherwise walk, cycle or skateboard climb into their cars and out of the wet. While the West Coast is supposed to be spared a long cold winter – should the meteorologists be correct – we can definitely expect more wet weather. Add to that the shorter days brought with this Sunday’s falling back to standard time, and local road conditions become a whole lot treacherous. According to ICBC, statistics show that 105 people are killed each year in speed-related crashes in B.C. Each October the province has an average of 121 crashes resulting in injuries or death in B.C. due to people driving too fast for the conditions. That number nearly doubles in December to 234 as conditions worsen. Further, “each time you double your speed, your braking distance is multiplied by four. In wet or icy road conditions, it’s even more,” ICBC notes. While busy lives mean we often try to squeeze in just one more email or one more sip of coffee before heading out the door, commit to giving yourself a little extra time to get where you need to be. When on the road, make a point of noticing your surroundings, watching for animals, children and other road users who might not be easily seen among the sidewalk shadows and reflecting vehicle lights. (This goes for all road users – pedestrians and cyclists must also do their due diligence when it comes to seeing and being seen) Chilliwack readers have been quick to point out that certain streets and intersections are notorious for speeders, and that’s certainly true, as police reports reflect. However drivers needn’t be travelling very quickly to lose control on slick roads – especially when applying the brakes suddenly. Let’s all be careful out there. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Boating tragedy a reminder of nature’s power It was a day like so many others. A choppy sea. Clear skies. Excited tourists focused on the hopeful sight of barking sea lions, bobbing seals, sea otters, orcas, grey whales, and marine birds. The day was beautiful, the scenery exquisite, the anticipation palpable as the Leviathan II, a twenty metre vessel with open and closed decks owned by Jamie’s Whaling Station, left the dock in Tofino with 27 passengers and crew on board last Sunday. They were heading for Vargas Island and the rocky islets known popularly as Sea Lion Rocks. As ever yone soaked in the sights and sounds and the scent of sea spray, no one had any inkling this would be the whale watching boat’s final voyage. In an instant, disaster. It hit so fast, so furious, there was no time for a mayday, no time for radio

contact. Just an emergency flare. The maritime signal for distress. Days later, some sur vivors would say a wave hit them, instantly rolling the boat on its side, tumbling it, and tossing passengers into the sea. The flare was spotted by Clarence Smith and his deckhand Ken Brown, two Margaret Ahousaht First EVANS Nation residents fishing for halibut further east and close to Flores Island. Checking their radio, they expected to hear an emergency call. Nothing. Making a distress call to alert other boat operators on the water, they raced to the site of the flare to be confronted with the absolute worst of disasters.

The Leviathan had capsized with just its bow sticking out of the water. People were screaming and thrashing in the water. The men would ultimately pull 13 people to safety. And they would deal with the grim task of retrieving those who had died. In no time the site was a flotilla of rescue boats – local water taxi companies, more Ahousaht boaters, private vessels and Canadian Coast Guard. In Tofino, residents turned out en masse to care for 21 people brought to shore and opened their homes to provide warmth and comfort while the injured were transferred to hospitals. In the final tally, five people, all British nationals, died and one, an Australian, currently remains missing. It will be months before the Transportation Safety Board completes its investigation into what happened. But for all the

survivors, the traumatic experience is a life changer. The wave theory may prove to be at least partly accurate but ever ything hinges on the outcome of the Transportation Safety Board’s investigation. Marc-Andre Poisson, the director of marine safety inspections, confirmed that a wave did in fact hit the boat from the starboard side but he cautioned that other factors may also have contributed to the disaster. At the time, he said, most passengers were on the upper deck and had gathered on the port side. This would have raised the boat’s centre of gravity, affecting stability. With the force of the wave, the vessel broached, then capsized. Marine wildlife viewing is an immensely popular billion-dollar tourist industry. But every time a boat leaves the dock, they ven-

ture into an alien environment with its own rules. “Mother Nature’s the biggest misery on the planet,” said Ucluelet fishing guide Ken Lewis. “When you’re outside your comfort zone, you’re at her mercy.” Indeed. The ocean is a harsh task master, forgiving of nothing. Currents collide, tides swirl, winds whip into squalls and waves can change from a calm swell to dangerous white-caps coming in swift succession. As much as the waters look calm and inviting, the ocean’s mood swings can be menacing. Fishermen and guides live with that knowledge every day. As the TSB works conducts its investigation, a lot will undoubtedly be learned from this awful tragedy.

Canada Post showed a profit last year In regards to Jessica Peters’ story, Canada Post suspends community mail box program (Progress, Oct. 28). It was stated by re-elected MP Mark Strahl, “I’ll be interested to see how Canada Post proposes to balance its budget.” The reality is that Canada Post in its last fiscal period(2014), showed a net profit of $198 million.

This was in concert with a total economic revenue of $7.98 billion. Once again, the past Conservative government downplays the very successful crown corporation, in favour of privatization. Not only would we lose a profitable crown corporation, putting thousands of letter carriers out of work, and forcing an aging

population to collect their mail at unsecured letter boxes, that have been a haven for mail and identity thieves. We would also be de-establishing another great Canadian institution and chipping away our sovereignty towards total corporate rule. Art Green, Hope

maxim that the NDP are poor money managers; where the truth is that provincial NDP governments have been- by farthe best money-managers in the whole country. Conservatives and B.C. Liberals often refer back to the “dark ages” of the B.C. NDP, which, in reality, is far from the truth. However, many easily influenced people fall for this nonsense. During this recent federal campaign, many people obviously fell for the argument that the Liberals presented the best alternative to defeat the Harper Conser vatives. Here in Chilliwack, despite the fact that the NDP have come in second for many years, many people jumped ship to the Liberals in order to defeat the despised

Conservatives. People, in their very short memories, forget that Harper ran strongly 10 years ago in an effort to defeat the Liberal corruption and to bring back “honest government to Canada.” We then saw a return to the corrupt Conservative years; yet, the people have simply returned again to the Liberal agenda. How soon they forget. This failure to see the fact that “Twiddle-Dee and Twiddle-Dum” are almost identical parties has destined Canada to again be ruled by the other of the two corporate parties. Tom Mulcair tried to remind us that there is no substantial difference between these two similarly financed corporate parties – to no apparent avail. There is a small ray

of hope emanating from the United States, where Bernie Sanders in his run to defeat Hillary Clinton, has openly declared that he is a “Democratic Socialist.” While many Canadians don’t have the foggiest idea of what this term means, Sanders is trying to educate the normally ignorant Americans of what the term defines. It is long overdue that Canadians read a little and learn for themselves what Democratic Socialism means. Meanwhile, it is long overdue that more Canadians open their minds and their hearts to the fact that most of our cherished ideals in Canada are actually NDP ideals. Dick Harrington, Chilliwack

Chief Electoral Officer thanks election workers I would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than 230,000 Canadians who contributed to the successful delivery of the 42nd general election. Once again, Canadians were willing to take time from their busy lives, making personal and professional sacrifices to work long hours to ensure their fellow citizens could exercise their democratic right to vote and receive the election results without delay following the close of the polls. I am overwhelmed by the exceptional professionalism and dedication our election workers have demonstrated in serving Canadian electors, often in very

challenging circumstances. Some three million more Canadians voted at this federal general election than at the 2011 election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in more than 20 years. There was a remarkable level of voter activity throughout the election, which in some instances resulted in wait times at both the advance polls and on election day. Our election workers provided the best service possible to their friends and neighbours in communities across our great land – for that is the true strength of our electoral process: Canadians working hard to make it possible for their fellow

Canadians to choose the elected officials who will represent them in the House of Commons. There will be time in the coming weeks and months to review our electoral procedures and consider ways they could be modernized for future elections. For now, our dedicated election workers should take great pride in their accomplishments and important contributions to our society. I know that all Canadians join me in thanking them for their excellent work in the service of democracy. Marc Mayrand Chief Electoral Officer of Canada

Dan Lallier knew the sturgeon in the Fraser River could be impressive, but he didn’t realize just how big until he hooked one of the biggest ones on record. Lallier has been visiting the area for six years now, angling with BC Sportfishing Group each spring and fall. The dream of catching (and releasing) a massive sturgeon has always been a lure for him, drawing him here from Onoway, AB. And on a trip to the area earlier this October, that dream came true. On Oct. 12, Lallier finally came face to face with a prehistoric giant. “What an amazing day!” he said. “I knew Fraser River white sturgeon can grow to immense lengths but this was unbelievable.” Lallier has always talked about catching his sturgeon of a lifetime and his dream finally came true when he set the hook and watched his fish jump clear out of the water. Stunned expressions became ecstatic

The United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada Chilliwack Branch celebrated its 25th anniversary with over 60 friends and members on Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Chilliwack Museum (formerly the 1912 City Hall building). Ten residents of Chilliwack petitioned to form a branch of the UELAC. The charter was granted and signed at this same location on Oct. 18, 1990. Special guests on Saturday included Mayor Sharon Gaetz, MP Mark Strahl, and Taryn Dixon, Electoral Area Director for District H. Adding to the pageantry was a contingent from the Fraser Glen Camp 220 of the Sons of Scotland. Piper and branch member David Avery of Abbotsford led the colour party and dignitaries into the room including flag bearers Alan Reid UE and Shay Thornton UE. On hand to cut the cake were original petitioners Art Keller UE and Vera Webb UE together with Linda Todhunter UE, daughter of Doreen Todhunter UE another petitioner.

New wheels, support, opens opportunities Community support smooths bumps on the road to greater mobility Sam Bates The Progress Eddy Solla waited patiently at the bus stop on the morning of January 20, 2015. But the bus didn’t stop for him. So he waited for the next one. But it passed by him as well. Fortunately, the third driver knew Eddy personally, and allowed him to board. Little did those bus drivers know that they were passing by a Paralympic gold medalist. Nor did they know that they were making him late to the event where he would get his first job. Eddy, who lost the use of his legs as a youth, was on his way to the Chilliwack Society for Community Living (CSCL) Supported Employment Services event, one of the many programs that CSCL offers to their clients. Sharon Goldthorp, Vocational Counsellor at CSCL, supports Eddy in any endeavour he pursues. She had invited Eddy, who never had a job before, to participate at the event where employers in the community could get to know and potentially recruit CSCL job seekers. “Everyone should have a job, no matter who you are or what you can do. It’s about independence,” Sharon explained. Eddy quickly got talking with the Home Depot managers about his sporting events and goals. “They just loved him,” Sharon recalled. Home Depot decided to hire Eddy as a greeter, but one problem remained. How would he get to work? The bus drivers had passed by him on that morning because they recognized Eddy as the young man who’s wheelchair had no brakes. It was a safety concern. “The chair is older than I am,” Eddy revealed. It was donated to him by a former coach, but it lacked back support, the tires would regularly go flat, and the

Chilliwack Paralympian Eddy Solla (right) has recently been gifted a new wheelchair. Financed by WorkBC and organized through CSCL, this chair will allow him to train, travel and work comfortably and safely. Here he gets some help from former Paralympian Daniel Westley, and Sharon Goldthorp, Vocational Counsellor at Chilliwack Society for Community Living. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS

front casters were too small to venture off the sidewalk. For an athlete who loves adventuring outdoors, wheels getting caught in the grass is a big problem. As Sharon and Eddy shopped for work boots, they told a client worker at Work BC about the bus incident. Motivated to help, she asked Sharon and Eddy to acquire quotes for a new wheelchair while she would see if funding was available. Their journey to various mobil-

ity stores led them to Advanced Mobility in Burnaby, where they met former Paralympian Daniel Westley, who had lost his legs during a tragic train accident. As Westley took Eddy’s measurements and had him try out various chair options, he also lent Eddy some temporary brakes that would allow him to take public transportation to his new job. On August 14, after months of overcoming one hurdle after the next, Work BC approved the fund-

ing, and Eddy’s custom chair went into production. Eddy first tried wheelchair racing and basketball as part of his physiotherapy plan when he was 10 years old. After five years of recreational racing, he decided he was ready to pursue it seriously. His first big event was the Canada Summer Games in Prince Edward Island in 2009, and he’s been racing competitively across Canada and around the world ever since.

He won a gold medal at the Canada Summer Games in 2011, and he’s broken Canadian records in 800 metre racing (2012), 1500 metre racing (2013), and recently, seated throw javelin (2015). But after years of strength training and growing, now at age 20, Eddy has become so physically strong that he’s actually slowed himself down on the track, meaning that it was time to change sports.

Nothing in this world personifies spring like daffodils. Their vibrant yellows are the antidote to long wet winters. They just lift your spirits in so many ways. But … there’s no such thing as an ordinary yellow Brian daffodil. MINTER Today, there are lots of choices. ‘Rijnveld’s Early Sensation’ blooms about 2-3 weeks earlier than any other varieties. Depending upon the weather in late winter, I’ve seen them bloom as early as late February and what a treat! When they bloom that early, snow and cold can happen at any time and I’ve seen them buried in snow and then pop back up and continue bloom-

ing. You’ll also find the earlier they bloom in cooler weather, the longer they bloom as well. One of the complaints about daffodils and other spring bulbs is the relatively short time they perform in the garden. A really smart bulb distributor mixed early, mid and late-blooming daffodils together and branded them ‘Yellow Brick Road’. It’s amazing that these daffodils bloom and bloom while other displays simply end. Keeping that yellow colour going is a wonderful investment in early lasting colour. Don’t tell your neighbours why your daffodils out-bloom theirs – they make for nice bragging rights. ‘King Alfreds’ are perhaps the most well known old-fashioned daffodils, but honestly, they have been replaced by far better performing varieties. ‘Flower Carpet’ is one of the best

for today’s West Coast gardens. It’s a stunning strong blooming yellow that is resistant to basil rot, which is a problem for many of the older varieties. It also stands up well in windy wet weather. ‘Carlton’ is a real stocky variety as well, and I love its sulphur yellow colour. It’s an oldie but goodie and a must for your garden. Believe it or not, the very best selling daffodil today is the neatest, tidiest variety called ‘Tetéa-Teté’. It’s a superstar, growing about half the size of other daffodils. Each flower head has

a cluster of tiny yellow blooms, creating a great show. Because of its smaller size, it out blooms and out performs almost any other variety. It is also one of the best naturalizers and repeat blooms year after year with an even better display. When the colour is gone, the biggest bonus is the smaller, neat and tidy foliage looks great in your garden. Remember, if you’re planting now, all daffodils need well-drained sandy soil – no heavy clay. They will do equally well in full sun or partial shade. Plant them in a location where they can repeat bloom year after year, creating a long term display. We love them but the deer don’t, another added bonus.

“This is my first year competing in field events,” Eddy explained. He’s been training six days per week with coach Harold Willers in discus, javelin, and shot-put. He’ll be participating in smaller American and European competitions, trying to qualify for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. “I’m working hard. I can get there, slowly,” he assured. On October 15, Eddy made the switch to his new custom designed $7,600 wheelchair. Among the crowd in the CSCL office that day were Westley, Sharon, and Eddy’s father, Windy. All were thrilled to see this journey come to fruition. “When a chair fits right, it becomes a natural extension of your body,” Westley explained. Not only is Eddy’s chair precisely measured to fit him, it has bigger wheels to take him onto Chilliwack trails, it provides greater comfort and posture for long work shifts, and most importantly, it’s equipped with accessible and reliable brakes. “It feels awesome,” Eddy enthused. Sharon has worked tirelessly to get this chair, which will help Eddy to comfortably and safely accomplish many of his other dreams, like modelling and learning to golf. “If I didn’t have Sharon, I don’t think that I could have a job, be a model, or have done this or that,” Eddy began. “Sharon has helped me with everything. I’m very thankful for her.” And when asked why he chose burnt orange for his new ride, Eddy revealed that it was a tribute to Home Depot. “Just helping people,” Eddy said of what he enjoys most about working there, “It feels good to help people.”

Charlie Thomson: A passion for agriculture and community Charlie Thomson has dedicated so much of his life to Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural community. He is a Chilliwack native who was raised on a dairy farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had about 30 head of cattle, a farm that was considered to be of an average size back in the fifties. It was then that I developed an interest in agriculture and I was especially intrigued by cows,â&#x20AC;? he said. As he was growing up, there was an expectation that Charlie would handle his share of the chores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like I was loaded down with work but I was expected to do my fair share and there was always something to do. That was o.k. with me. I never thought much about it,â&#x20AC;? he said frankly. While he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what you would call an academic, he quite enjoyed school. Dick Hesketh, a teacher at Rosedale Junior, where Charlie was a student, inspired him to become a naval officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Hesketh had been in the navy before becoming a teacher and each summer heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get involved in naval training. I wanted to do what he did. He really inspired and motivated me. Unfortunately, I needed to have a certain level of French but fell short by one credit. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

work out and I moved on,â&#x20AC;? he said. Charlie married Lorraine in 1971 and while she worked as an LPN, he got involved in the retail grocery industry. A year later, he was hired on as a sales rep at CHWK Radio Ana and MACEDO stayed there for the next seven years. While there, he started Showmart, Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original home and leisure show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show started off at the Princess Street Armories then quickly moved to the Evergreen Hall. Not long after that, it grew to the point where it was moved to the Ag Rec Centre,â&#x20AC;? he pointed out. Now while you can take the boy out the country, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the country out of the boy so Charlie decided to buy a five-acre parcel of land with the intention of eventually developing it into a farm. He left the radio station in 1979 and along with his brother Gordie, bought the fuel side of the Husky Truck Stop at Luckakuck and Vedder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had been a client of mine when I worked

at the radio station. I knew that the owners wanted out and my brother and I decided to go into business together. Gordie had worked in the retail automotive industry and was looking to expand his horizons and I needed to move on from the radio station, so it was a perfect fit. We ended up owning it for 26 years,â&#x20AC;? he explained. While he enjoyed owning the business, it was the dairy industry that Charlie was passionate about, so he developed CBS Holsteins and Jerseys. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wake up early to milk the cows, leave for his day job and after a hard dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d return to milk the cows in the evening. After selling the business, he concentrated fully on his farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had about 70 cows which is considered a small farm by todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards.â&#x20AC;? He maintained the same schedule; out the door by 5:30 in the morning to do the feeding, milking and cleaning. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get on with the busy day and then returned to do it all over again by supper time; something that he thrived on. Today, while he still has some cows, the milking herd and quota was transferred to his oldest son. The dairy industry may have been his pas-

sion but he was still a salesman at heart. So 13 years ago, he took on a side job with Foundation Sires based out of Listowel, Ontario. The company sells high fertility semen specifically for dairy cattle. Charlie was hired as their BC Sales Manager and enjoyed the work, including the travelling. He has recently left Foundation Sires and is now representing Transworld Genetics ST & Sexing Technologies. From a volunteer perspective, Charlie has poured his heart and soul into the Chilliwack Agricultural Society, the group that organizes and presents the annual Chilliwack Fair. His association with the Fair dates back to 1958 when he was just 8 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father, my brother and I were showing cattle at the Fair even back then,â&#x20AC;? he said. He was involved with the organization in various capacities including being its president for many years. As of this past year, Charlie has finally retired from his involvement with the Fair after 56 years.

to make changes to the defensive staff at the start of the year, when the coaches weren’t paid on time because they blew a grant and there was no money, I stood up for my coaches.” “Anytime anything came down where I thought my players or coaches were being treated unfairly, I stood up for them.” Covey said there were no significant or unresolved issues paying coaches. Graduating receiver Blake Draper, also a team captain, believes an organization that desperately needs stability had made the wrong move. Draper said 90 per cent of the players wanted Smith back next season, adding that many of them asked for their release after the news broke. “When you look at powerhouse teams like the Okanagan Sun, Langley Rams and Nanaimo, it’s going to be hard to field

a successful team without having consistency,” he said. “If you look at those teams, most of their players have been together for at least three years.” “Adam’s whole objective in this rebuild was to attain consistency, and have players stick around. It’s impossible to win games and be successful if you keep changing coaching staffs like the Huskers have.” Covey concedes the Huskers need to find stability. “We’ve got a board who’s been through this once, so hopefully they’ll be knowledgeable and careful in who they hire,” he said. “We’ve got a call out for applications right now and you never know what’s going to come up.” “I know there are people out there who are capable and hopefully are interested.” More concerning than

anything else perhaps is the notion the junior team may have just taken dynamite to its bridge with Chilliwack’s powerhouse high school program at GW Graham. Two time junior varsity provincial champions who are in the mix to win their first senior title this fall, the Grizzlies coaching staff is loaded with coaches who’ve been jilted by the Huskers. Smith, Acheson and Jeff Whitehead are part of the ex-Husker head coach club. Jason Campbell and Suresh Parray are also on the GWG staff. Football fans who hoped the high school pipeline would start flowing to the Huskers may be disappointed. “I think we’re still fine with the head coach of the senior team (Laurie Smith), Covey offered. Kohls, who came directly to the Huskers from a high school program last year, is

now weighing his options on whether to return. “We were looking forward to next season, to getting the whole family back together again,” he said. “It’s a tight group of guys, I love all of them and it would suck if that was ruined.” The initial anger has subsided, and he’s leaning towards coming back. But he needs to see something from the organization. “There’s a lot of emotion that goes along with this and it’s tough to think about it right now,” Kohls said. “You hope maybe you get him back if enough of us speak up.” “If you came to one of our practices in week eight or nine, you’d have no idea we hadn’t won a game. It was competitive balls-to-the-wall every practice and game and the coaching staff was a huge part of that.” “To see that go away would be horrible.”

NEXT HOME GAME

HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST! WIN AN AUTOGRAPHED JERSEY!

The Chilliwack Chiefs continue a light part of their schedule with just one game this weekend, Friday night at home versus the Surrey Eagles. As you would expect the theme of the night is Halloween. Everyone is encouraged to dress up in their best costumes as there will be prizes awarded, based on fan vote, for the best ones. There will also be plenty of candy available for the young trick or treaters. Goaltender Aidan Pelino is expected to be back in the lineup after missing two weeks with a leg injury. Matteo Esposito was very good in his

604.392.4433

absence helping lead the team to three straight wins. He picked up his second shutout of the season in Surrey last week and came within six minutes of posting a second straight shutout in a 3-2 victory over the visiting Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Sunday. The defence really stepped up their game as well. They limited quality scoring chances against, and did a nice job of taking away the opposition’s passing and shooting lanes. Sunday’s game may have been the best I’ve seen defenceman Olivier Arseneau play. He played a key part in killing a first period penalty just seconds after

the Chiefs had taken a 1-0 lead. He added a power play goal late in the second period. Since losing to the Chiefs, the Wenatchee Wild have earned five of a possible six points to stay in first place in the Mainland Division with 23 points. The Chiefs are in second place, two points back and three points up on the Langley Rivermen who have played two fewer games. The Eagles (4-12-0-0) early season struggles continued last weekend. After being shut out by the Chiefs they traveled to Wenatchee where they suffered 7-5 and 8-0 losses. They enter this weekend in last place in the Mainland

division. With forward Jeremy Germain and defenceman Dennis Cholowski expected to be away at university visits this weekend, and the departure of forward Brendan Riley to the P.A.L. Islanders of the USPHL on Long Island New York, 17 year old forward Ben Evanish may get into the lineup. An affiliate player for the Chiefs who plays for the Valley West Hawks of the BC Major Midget League, he currently leads that league in goals with 16 in nine games. His 20 points have him second in league scoring. After this weekend the Chiefs will prepare for a pair of home games. Friday Nov. 6 the Langley Rivermen visit Prospera Center before the Salmon Arm Silverbacks are here on Sunday the 8th. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Sartori finds Beastmode in Cascade win

Kayli Sartori took over in the fourth quarter, scoring 12 of her team-high 18 points in the final frame as the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team beat the Western Mustangs 64-55 in exhibition action on Saturday at the Envision Athletic Centre. Sartori, the Cascades’ versatile fourth-year guard/forward and a Chilliwack native, was effective getting into the paint down the stretch – her dozen points in the fourth quarter came on a trio of layups and six free throws. The Cascades won for the second straight night, having beaten the PacWest’s Capilano Blues 75-48 in a preseason tilt on Friday. The Mustangs, a fellow CIS program from London, ON., are in the midst of a three-gamesin-three-days exhibition road trip through B.C. They fell 72-67 to the Victoria Vikes on Friday, and they wrap up their journey on Sunday with a 12 p.m.

clash with the UBC Thunderbirds. Saturday’s contest was the Cascades’ last game action prior to their Canada West regular season home openers – Friday, Nov. 6 (6 p.m. start) and Saturday, Nov. 7 (5 p.m.) vs. the UBC Okanagan Heat at the Envision Athletic Centre. “We’re still a work in progress, but that was a good game for us today,” Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer analyzed. “You’re not going to be perfect for 40 minutes, but you can have effort for 40 minutes, and we had that for sure.” The hosts had an excellent start, racing out to a 19-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. But the offence dried up for the Cascades in the second – the Mustangs outscored them 16-4 in the frame and took a 25-23 lead into the break. UFV regrouped and surged back into the lead in the third quarter, and Sartori took them home with some strong play in the fourth. “The second quarter really got away from us a little bit, and instead of reeling it back in by running some of our sets, we just got more and more disorganized,” Tuchscherer said. “We talked about that at halftime, and I thought

Crusader men out-last Burnaby Lake Chilliwack’s senior rugby Crusaders took care of business against Burnaby Lake, topping them 15-7 last weekend at the Yarrow Sports Field. Blaine Prince got the locals on the scoreboard first, barreling through as Burnaby Lake tried to make a goal-line stand. The visitors briefly took the lead when the Crusaders ran into penalty trouble, scoring a converted try to go up 7-5. But Chilliwack rallied at half-time and came out flying. Lozzie Davies and Aaron Zimmer scored second-half tries. Jordan Alec’s precise line-out throws and James Williams’ spirited tackling kept Burnaby at bay.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

YOUR VOICE COUNTS!

We celebrate the life of Margaret Suderman who went to be with the Lord on October 25, 2015 at the age of 100+. Margaret was pre-deceased by her husband, Henry in 2007. Also survived by her devoted children, Monica (Brian) Green, Hank (Virginia), Bev (David) Masurat, and grandchildren Colin (Char) Green, Colleen DeBodt, Nicole Doornbos (Dave) and Celeste Suderman, Great Granddaughters Brianne Rutter and Katelyn Winston (Ivory) and Great Great Granddaughter Evelyn Margaret Winston, as well as a large extended family. Margaret was born June 9, 1915 in Southern Russia and immigrated with her mother, Katherina Berg and siblings to Canada in 1926 and settled in Steinbach, Manitoba. Margaret started work at the age of twelve to help pay the debt of their trip. She worked as a live-in maid. In 1930, Margaret and her family moved to BC where they eventually settled in Greendale. Margaret became one of the “Daughters in the City”. Margaret went to work as nanny/maids for a wealthy English family where she learned a new culture and language. In Margaret’s later years, she was busy entertaining, baking cookies for Transport for Christ and knitting toques for the Shoe Box Ministry at the Chilliwack Alliance Church. She also loved playing games. She made sure she lasted at least to her 100th birthday so she could get her greetings from the queen. She was a remarkable lady, well loved and will be missed. Memorial service to be held on Tuesday, Nov 3, at 1:30 pm., Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Road, Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers please give a donation to Samaritan’s Purse “Operation Christmas Child” (Shoe Box Ministry). http://www.samaritanspurse.ca/operation-christmas-child.aspx McCleans Funeral Homes 604-847-3477
