Family calls sentence ‘a holiday’
No jail time for truck driver who killed two men in Chilliwack BY JENNIFER SALTMAN The Province
F
amily and friends of Jody Ro l l e m a n a n d Ma r v i n Elgersma called the conditional sentence given to Balwinder Biring for causing
the crash that killed the men “a holiday.” “ T h e l o s s i s j u s t s o g re a t compared to the punishment,” Alice Rolleman said outside B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack Monday. Biring, 36, pleaded guilty last year to two counts of dangerous driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. On Sept. 11, 2006, Biring picked up a load in Surrey and drove his tractor-trailer unit east on Highway 1 toward Alberta. Shortly after 9 p.m. Biring lost control of his truck

near the Prest Road overpass when, as he tried to pass another semi, his left wheels went into the soft shoulder and his trailer shifted and rolled to the left. The vehicle slid across the grass
median and into westbound lanes, where Rolleman, 25, was driving a pickup with friends Elgersma, 26, and Justin Locke, 25, as passengers. Rolleman saw the trailer and tried to swerve out of the way but the driver’s side of the truck hit the trailer. Rolleman and Elgersma died and Locke suffered serious injuries. “There was clearly nothing Mr. Rolleman could do to avoid the collision,” Justice Brian Joyce said in his reasons for sentence. Joyce said Biring’s driving leading up to the crash was aggressive, but did not constitute a lengthy period
of careless driving. The driving became dangerous when Biring passed the last two semis and ended up with his wheels in the median. He pointed out that Biring is truly remorseful for his actions and will have to live with the consequences for the rest of his life. Biring also has a driving record but no criminal record—he was acquitted in October of charges related to smuggling drugs across the Canada-U.S. border. Biring faces significant civil See SENTENCE, Page 13

“Having a substance abuse problem or an addiction is really complicated. It’s not just about drinking or drugging. It’s about how it impacts every area of your life .”
S
herry Mumford would seem to have more right than most to judge those who haven’t accomplished as much. Mumford was nearing her 30s and a single mother of four when she decided that her job as a switchboard operator at Chilliwack General Hospital wasn’t enough. That was back in 1972 before an anthropology course sparked a fourdecade-long quest for higher learning. All she’s done since then, is pick up a diploma, two degrees, write a textbook, help numerous children and adults kick drug and alcohol addictions, speak out forcefully for harm reduction programs and help city officials work towards Chilliwack’s long-awaited health contact centre. Oh, and two weeks ago, Mumford picked up a prestigious national award from the Kaiser Foundation for her leadership on mental health and addiction issues. But as far as Mumford is concerned, we level judgement at those with addictions at our own peril. “Having a substance abuse problem or an addiction is really complicated,” she said. “It’s not just about the drinking or drugging. It’s about how it impacts every area of your life. “We’re very quick to put a moral lens on substance abuse. We blame the person who’s using.We say things like ‘Well it’s their fault. If they didn’t start drinking or didn’t start using cocaine or heroin, they wouldn’t be in that position.’ “We fail to see it as a health issue. That is what it is. It is not a moral issue. We stigmatize and we discriminate against people who [use drugs and alcohol]. We turn away, we’re embarrassed if we’re walking down the street and we see someone drunk staggering along there.” That perspective goes back to Mumford’s first jobs in the field, at alternate

Sherry Mumford
An issue of
substance Tyler Olsen/TIMES
Sherry Mumford has received a national award recognizing her leadership and decades of work helping Fraser Valley men, women and children with addictions. schools in Hope and Chilliwack. “I saw in these children what brought them to an alter nate school,” she said. “Often what you find among many other social issues is substance use. It’s either their substance use, their family’s substance use or both.” In the early 1990s, Mumford began working as an alcohol and drug counsellor for both adults and youth at an outpatient clinic in Hope. Over the next decade she would earn a pair of degrees while pleading with the government for money and funding. But by 2002, she had had enough of begging for resources for clients. “I could never get a straight answer as to how come I couldn’t get the
resources I needed for my clients,” she said. “I’d ask for this or I’d ask for that and I’d want to know, and it was always ‘No.’” So when a position came up for an alcohol and drug consultant within the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Mumford changed sides. Her position was soon transferred under the jurisdiction of Fraser Health, with whom she now serves as the director of clinical programs for addiction services, and manager of addictions at the Maple Ridge Treatment Centre. She also teaches criminology courses at both UFV and SFU. Working on the government side of the ledger, Mumford said she has a better sense now of why her clients were turned down for funding
ogy class at Fraser Valley College and it’s not difficult to draw a line from that first brush with the analysis of human history, through to Mumford’s career and to her recent award. “I see myself as a behaviourist,” she told the Times. “I really am very curious about human behaviour, what makes people tick. There’s nothing more fascinating than the human being and the human spirit.” It’s clear that Mumford’s career is as much a passion as a job. “It’s a wonderful field,” she says. “It’s so challenging, it’s so exciting. The people who work in it are so passionate, and the clients that come and access services are so interesting and many of them are so committed to making changes in their life. It’s a wonderful thing to see.” Mumford said the Kaiser Award— for which she was nominated by a colleague—is an honour, but one that she would like to share. “This award is really not mine. It’s really all those people who work in the field,” she said. “This isn’t about me. This is really about them because the compassion and dedication they have in their field is really just mind-blowing.” As part of her award, Mumford is given $10,000 to donate to a charity of her choice. She has yet to decide on a non-profit, but said “those that work with sexually exploited youth would probably be at the top of my list.”

Preserving language
Husband still in jail WARNING, from page 1
Special project aims to keep Halq’emeylem alive BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
W
hen the last Halq’emeylem-speaking Sto:lo elder dies, there is a real concern that the language could die too. But with the help of elders and others committed to the language, linguists have been working on preserving Halq’emeylem for future generations. As part of that preservation, a unique collection of more than 70 short stories recorded in the Upriver Halq’emeylem language stories—the traditional language of the Sto:lo people—was formally presented to the Chilliwack Archives and the Sto: lo Nation Archives during the recent Sto:lo Nation’s People of the River Conference. The stories were recorded by Sto:lo elder and fluent
Halq’emeylem speaker Elizabeth Herrling over a number of years. The stories are largely personal tales about Herrling’s own life and the people she grew up with including her family, her work and her traditional way of life. The collection also includes another series of stories about modern living in the language, such as shopping and talking about the weather. Halq’emeylem, as a language, is severely endangered, according to Sto:lo Shxweli Halq’emeylem Language Program lingust Strang Burton. But he said because Herrling, who passed away two years ago, was a superb speaker and recorded her stories, the recordings will keep students of the language busy for years. “One afternoon a week she would come out and tell stories,” Burton told the Times.
Paul J. Henderson/TIMES
Linguist Strang Burton (left) describes a picture in English as Sto:lo elder Elizabeth Phillips (second from left) translates into Halq’emeylem as Thelma Wenman and Jared Deck from the Sto:lo Shxweli Halq’emeylem Language Program look on at the Sto:lo Resource Centre. “It’s very important that she was speaking fluently.” There is a Halq’emeylem dictionary and many translations, but Burton said those are limited in terms of teaching others how to actually speak the language. Elizabeth Phillips may not be the last speaker of Halq’emeylem but Burton said she might be the last Sto:lo elder who is able to work and tell stories as Herrling did. “If there is anybody else [that speaks the language] they are not able to work,”
Burton said. Phillips now works at the language program telling her stories and recording the language for others to learn. The Seabird Island resident said she goes on a language chat room online frequently and communicates with others as well. So what does she think of the recordings and the hard work being done by those in the Sto:lo Shxweli program to preserve Halq’emeylem? “I appreciate it very much,” she told the Times. “I truly
appreciate it. That way I don’t have to worry about the language dying. I would have been concerned.” Each of Herrling’s stories are recorded in high quality audio format and are accompanied by her own fluent translation into English and a rough linguist’s transcription. Most stories include rough illustrations, which Elizabeth used as her notes when telling stories. In preparation for transfer to the archives, the collection was duplicated, bound and indexed.

The crimes were committed while Audrey Black and husband Donald babysat their friends four-year-old and 18-month-old girls. Donald Black was sentenced to eight years in jail for his role in the crimes. Police say Audrey Black targets young children and teenagers by offering babysitting or daycare services and by communicating with children online. While Black’s sentence has expired, she is under a court order not to contact anyone under the age of 16. She can’t hold a job or volunteer for a role that would see her contact a person under 16, nor can she attend a public area where children may be present. She can’t use a computer with internet access and can only have a relationship with parents of children after notifying them of her criminal history in the presence of her probation officer. Black is white, six-foot-one and 170 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes. She wears glasses.

Ratings rise for schools BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
C
hilliwack’s two main high schools saw small improvements over the last year, according to the Fraser Institute’s controversial rankings of B.C. and Yukon secondary schools released on Sunday. The 2011 report by the right-wing think tank gave Chilliwack secondary a 5.8 out of 10 for 2010 placing it 150th out of 274 schools. Sardis secondary got a 6.5 out of 10 placing it 109th. CSS received a 5.1 last year and Sardis a 6.4. Critics of the annual school rankings, which include most school trustees, superintendents, principals and teachers, say a school’s performance is influenced by socioeconomic factors that are not adequately taken into account in the annual report card. Given the Fraser Institute’s mandate and the results of the annual report, the rankings are seen by critics simply as a way to undermine public education. This year, the top nine schools were all independent. “The whole purpose and point of the report cards is to provide info to parents and educators,” said Peter Cowley, the institute’s director of school performance studies and co-author of the report, adding that it is not designed to make any broad statements about education in the province. “The idea is that every school is capable of improvement and that everyone
should have easy access to clear, up-to-date information about the performance of the secondary schools in their province, territory and local community.” Chilliwack’s other public high school, G.W. Graham, received a 5.9 out of 10 down from 6.3 in 2009. Independent school Highroad Academy received an 8.2 out of 10 (down from 8.5 in 2009) ranking it 22nd. Unity Christian received a 6.6 out of 10, up from 5.9 in 2009 ranking it 96th. The Fraser Institute’s rankings are based on seven indicators: average exam mark in the Grade 10 to 12 courses that include a mandatory provincial exam; percentage of Grade 10 to 12 mandatory provincial examinations failed; average difference by which the school mark exceeds the examination mark in the courses considered in the first two indicators; difference between male and female students in their exam mark in English 10; difference between male and female students in their exam mark in Mathematics 10; graduation rate; and delayed advancement rate. CSS had 333 students in Grade 12 for the most recent year, Sardis secondary had 479 and G.W.Graham had 105. Highroad had 26 Grade 12 students and Unity Christian had 18. In the Fraser-Cascade school district, Agassiz received a 5.8 out of 10, up from 5 in 2009. Hope secondary got a 5.6 out of 10, down from 5.8 in 2009.
Psych exam required BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
A
Chilliwack man will undergo a psychiatric evaluation after being arrested for the third time in just over three months for committing an indecent act in a public place. The man, whom the Times is not naming pending the psychiatric examination and who was born in 1939, was originally charged on Feb. 28 with committing an indecent act the previous day, according to court records. He was released on a promise to appear and a signed undertaking. On April 18, he was arrested again and
charged with committing another indecent act on April 17. He was granted bail on the order that he keep the peace and refrain from contacting employees of the First Avenue A&W restaurant or visiting the Cottonwood Mall. But on May 3, he was arrested and charged with two new offences. The most recent incident took place on May 2 at the McDonald’s restaurant on Yale Road. The other charge dates back to an offence that happened on March 22 at the courthouse, when he was scheduled to appear to face the Feb. 28 charge. He is being held in custody pending the psychiatric examination.

8 years for smuggling BY KIM BOLAN Vancouver Sun
A
Housing starts stop BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
C
hilliwack has seen the largest decline in housing starts of any urban centre in British Columbia in the first four months of 2011. There were 16 singledetached house starts in April in Chilliwack, down 54 per cent from the same month in 2010. There were just 12 multi-family starts, down 75 per cent over April 2010. For the first four months of 2011 there has been a total of 86 home starts in Chilliwack, down 69 per cent from the 277 in 2010. The largest local decline in starts was in multi-family as
146 units broke ground in the first four months of 2010 and just 29 were started this year. That goes against the trend in the region, as AbbotsfordMission saw a 16 per cent increase in total starts from 162 in 2010 to 188 in 2011, including 124 multi-family starts, up from 37 in 2010. The Vancouver CMA, which includes every other community from Langley to Bowen Island, also saw a 16 per cent increase in home starts over the first four months of 2011. “Multiple-family housing starts continue to grow in popularity throughout the [ Vancouver] CMA,” said Robyn Adamache, CMHC’s senior market analyst.
sity of calling reluctant witnesses at a trial.” Curry was once photographed with UN boss Clay Roueche, who is serving a 30-year U.S. sentencing for cross-border smuggling and money laundering. During a B.C. Supreme Court extradition hearing in early 2010, Curry’s lawyer told Justice Peter Rogers that the ecstasy was not his client’s and that the circumstantial U.S. case was not strong enough to warrant the surrender of a Canadian citizen. Rogers disagreed and ordered Curry extradited. Curry chose not to appeal and surrendered to U.S. authorities. Curry flew a red-and-white Cessna across the border into Washington’s Okanogan County just before lunchtime on Aug. 10, 2007, alerting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. Witnesses said the plane made an emergency landing in a farmer’s field and that they could see a man walking from the Cessna out of view. ICE agents searched the plane and found a for-sale sign with a B.C. number on it. They called and were told by the previous owner that he had sold the plane to Curry, a suspect in earlier cross-border drug runs. “After searching the plane that landed in the open field on August 10, 2007, several duf-
fel bags were located,” the indictment against Curry says. The substance in the bags was determined to be 72 pounds of ecstasy, also known as MDMA, stamped with the letters BOSS. Three days later, Conroy spoke to U.S. agents saying he represented Curry, who “wanted to retrieve his airplane.” “Curry had relayed to his lawyer that he had engine trouble and encountered foul weather forcing him to land in the United States as his original destination was from Princeton to Penticton,” the indictment says. Curry tried to enter the U.S. on Aug. 13, 2007, at Sumas and was arrested. “Curry stated that he had been the pilot of the aircraft and denied any knowledge of any narcotics found in or near the aircraft,” the indictment says. Curry was later released on bail and went back to Canada, but failed to return to the U.S. for subsequent court dates. He was arrested again in March 2010 in a cross-border probe called Operation Blade Runner, targeting a gang allegedly involved in heli-smuggling. The RCMP said at the time that Curry, of Chilliwack, and another man “were on their way back to pick up the remainder of the drugs at the helicopter landing zone just outside of Nelson.”

Chilliwack’s housing starts have dropped off over the first four months of this year, more than any other urban centre in B.C..
Fraser Valley man who once had close ties to the leader of the United Nations gang was sentenced this week to more than eight years in a U.S. jail for ecstasy smuggling. Joseph Patrick Curry, 50, was handed the sentence in Spokane Thursday after a joint sentencing submission by his defence lawyer and the U.S. Attorney’s office. The Chilliwack man ran into trouble in 2007 when he crashed a plane in a Washington state farmer’s field. As he left the scene, U.S. authorities found duffel bags full of ecstasy nearby. For three years he denied any link to the drugs, but pleaded guilty in February in U.S. District Court after reaching a plea agreement. Judge Edward F. Shea sentenced Curry to 102 months behind bars followed by three years of supervised release. Despite his guilty plea, Curry still took exception to the U.S. describing him as a leader of the drug ring. And he claimed that “he has demonstrated an acceptance of responsibility for his criminal conduct and entered a timely plea.” And Asst. U.S. Attorney Aine Ahmed said a sentencing memo that the plea deal was appropriate because the sentence was sufficient “based on readily provable conduct, without the neces-

Teens felt unfairly targeted
Was sexual orientation real reason behind pool reprimand? BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com
T
eenagers making out in the hot tub are no one’s favourite part of a family trip to the pool. Unless their public displays of affection are right over the top, though, most people just ignore them. That’s why 19-year-old Becca Jensen and her girlfriend 15-year-old Chelsea Vince felt singled out last month when a peck on the cheek, an arm around the shoulder and some hugging earned them a verbal slap on the wrist from two different lifeguards at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre pool. “Ten feet away from us there was a straight teenage couple full-on making out and groping each other, and nothing was said to them,” said Jensen, who feels she and Vince were targeted because of their sexual orientation. Jensen, who self-identifies as transgender, said the lifeguards continued to watch her and her girlfriend. “I was embarrassed and offended and decided that it was time to leave,” said Jensen. But when the couple and Vince’s 13-year-old cousin headed for the family change room, Jensen said they were stopped by one of the lifeguards and told they couldn’t change there because they

Becca Jensen and girlfriend Chelsea Vince at the Landing Leisure Centre. weren’t accompanying a child and, further, that Jensen and Vince were not to be in the same change room together. When the couple ignored her, Jensen said the lifeguard stood outside their stall while they were getting dressed. “This problem has left me feeling embarrassed, targeted, angry and that there has been a violation of my human rights,” said Jensen. But leisure centre facility manager Lauralee Cheng said sexual orientation had nothing to do with Jensen and Vince being addressed by
lifeguards in the pool or being asked to move out of the family change room, which is reserved for adults accompanying kids under 12 and people with mobility challenges. “Public displays of affection that could offend somebody are not allowed by anyone,” she said. “It’s in our facility code of conduct, which is posted at our front door.” That code calls for respect for other people’s beliefs, opinions and feeling, and asks patrons to ensure their “conversation, behaviour and language is appropriate for
a public facility that caters to all cultures, diversities and age groups.” However, it’s a bit vague on what exactly is allowed in the way of touching, so lifeguards and other staff are given a basic rule of thumb during their facilities orientation: If you had a child who was three years old, would you allow that to be done in front of him or her? A kiss on the cheek, an arm around the shoulder and a bit of hugging might be fine, said Cheng, but according to lifeguard reports, Jensen, Vince and her younger cousin had also been reprimanded about a number of other violations besides the couple’s public displays of affection, like swearing and running on the pool deck. “They have a side of the story, but we have a facility code of conduct that we’re trying to enforce with everybody,” said Cheng. But Vince’s mom, Emma Vince, doesn’t think the code of conduct, especially in regards to public displays of affection and the use of the family change rooms, is being enforced consistently. When she came to the pool after Jensen and Vince told her about the incident, she said she observed more than one heterosexual teenage couple getting cozy in the pool within site of the lifeguard, and, when she checked out the family change room, she encountered a gaggle of teenage girls. “I was choked,” she said. “Maybe if they want to enforce the rules, they should do it in a proper manner and post them where they can be viewed by and applied to everyone. This way individuals cannot be discriminated against and feel as if rules are being pulled out of their ass.”

he history of medicine is basically a long, long, long history of being wrong, with a short postscript about being partly right. For thousands of years, the best medical advice you could get was, “Rest, and hope it gets better on its own.” Sure, people tried to fix each other up. There are caveman skulls from Europe with large holes gouged in them—holes that had begun to heal over before the victim, I mean patient, died. What were they trying to do? Cure migraines or seizures? Treat mental illness? Let out evil spirits (which is probably how they understood migraines, seizures, or mental illness)? Things had actually not improved much by the time we got up to the Renaissance. At the time, doctors in Europe believed that the body contained four humours. No, not ha-ha humours, these corresponded to the classical four elements (this was before the periodic table, as well) and supposedly determined personality as well as overall health. So if you had too much or too little of one of the humours, you

Be Our Guest needed to be rebalanced. Probably by being bled. Bloodletting was a major medical procedure for hundreds of years, especially before antibiotics or widespread vaccinations. Doctors in the 18th and early 19th centuries must have been particularly frustrated that they had an ever-increasing knowledge of anatomy, but few ways to treat diseases. Aside from opiates, chemical medicines were in their infancy. So, bleeding. There are even accounts of people being stabbed, rushed to a doctor, and immediately being bled as treatment. Yeah, that’ll help. Around the time that doctors and scientists figured out that bleeding was either useless or harmful, they found a good reason to keep drawing blood. They learned how to do transfusions. The tale of scientists learning how to type, store, and transfuse blood is another one of those
unglamorous tales that has helped millions. These days, the modern heroes are twofold: there are the nurses, doctors, and lab technicians who keep a close watch on the system to keep it safe. Then there are the donors themselves. As someone who’s done it, let me assure you that donating is easy. All you have to do is lie there. There’s a little pinch, some boring waiting, and then you get a cookie! Canadian Blood Services is, as usual, trying to increase the number of people who donate. (The blood drop symbol seen in last week’s paper is one part of their most recent campaign.) There is a steady need for donors, as stored blood isn’t just needed for injuries or surgical patients. There are regular blood transfusions needed for cancer patients in treatment, among other users of blood products. Bloodletting may be medically worthless, but donating blood gives you a warm feeling. Call 1-888-2DONATE if you want to know what I’m talking about. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance.
anger Smith may have been driven half crazy trying to thwart the plans of Yogi Bear, but at least he didn’t have to deal with the conditions experienced by B.C. Parks rangers. According to internal emails obtained through a freedom of information request by the Western Canada Wilderness Committee, a slashed park budget has forced rangers to beg and plead for basic tools of the trade. In one email, a park staffer begs for materials to replace a bridge’s rotten planks. Another advises that there is no money to replace mooring buoys for boats at a marine park. This year, funding for parks was just $29.9 million a year, less than three-quarters of what it was in 2001. In between those years, the provincial government started charging visitors for parking. From the emails, it is clear that the parking money wasn’t used to make our parks more comfortable, more safe or more accessible. Instead it seems to have gone into the giant pit of government money that pays for everything from extravagant Crown corporation executives’ salaries to important health care projects. Thankfully, Premier Christy Clark last week announced that parking would again be free. It was a welcome announcement for those who frequent our parks. But hopefully it’s just a prelude to a new era of investment in our shared resources. Here in the Fraser Valley, our provincial parks provide a valued refuge from the bustle of city life. They also bring thousands of tourists to our communities and to our businesses each year. It’s not enough for a province to brag about all the provincial parkland it creates. Rather, it also needs to provide the up-front capital funding that will allow our jewels to shine. Doing so is just good business. We can spend millions on international advertising campaigns that brag about our natural scenery, but if tourists show up and find haggard parks with outhouses lacking for toilet paper, they’re not going to urge their compatriots to visit B.C. Here’s an idea: the government, which spends millions each year on advertisements that prominently include images of parks, should redirect some of that money to help freshen up those public spaces it likes to brag about. They could even bill the public affairs department. Just please, make sure the outhouse has toilet paper.

Letters
Treatment is available for those who’ll take it Editor: (Response to May 3 letter;‘Housing, not more prisons’). In response to this letter, although be it factual as Mr. Hodge may see it, it critically lacks in truth, realism and fact. The prisons are not full of addicts only, but of others who have committed violent crimes and are prolific offenders. Yes, these people will be let out someday to, and will reoffend. Some are drug users inside and outside of prison. I spent 15 years in Corrections and for Mr. Hodge to say there “are no drugs in prison” is such gross naivety. Inmates will pack drugs in anyway they can. One word for Mr. Hodge: “suitcase.” Please feel free to look it up. Corrections freely gives out methadone to inmates who meet the criteria, however, this is abused at times. There are also in-custody deaths due to illicit contraband drug use in prison, as well as deaths from overdoses of methadone, as occurred in a Maple Ridge prison in 2010. Mr. Hodge goes on to say, “plus there is counselling, food and shelter.” Thanks for the most obvious of observations. Though what he continually fails to realize is that the courts can order substance abuse counselling, in custody and after the expiration of their sentence while on probation, however it is not enforcable because of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Corrections would be sued. If an inmate can take legal action against the Correctional system for failing to provide a dictionary and win a five-figure amount, there is no end to what an inmate can sue over, incurring expensive legal costs and settlements that the taxpayers are footing the bill for. Mr. Hodge feels that permanent shelter is not provided for the addict after release. It sure is—they are called halfway houses, treatment centres, all of which classification officers can recommend as mandatory placement. Some addicted inmates placed into these facilities fall back into old habits and leave these facilities to “chase the dragon,” smoke, snort or shoot up. More than one-in-three convicted criminals will not successfully complete their sentence. It costs Corrections Canada $110,223 to keep a male inmate in a maximum-security institution for a year ($150,867 for a woman). Medium and minimum-security inmates cost more than $70,000 a year. Finally, Mr. Hodge, if a drugaddicted criminal breaks into your home and steals some of your prized possessions, or maybe physically assaults you or sexually assaults a female family member,

Seniors thankful for great dinner Editor: We seniors wish to thank Terry McDougall, culinary arts teacher at Chilliwack senior secondary, Sharon Touchet, Christine Cutajar, Judith Booker and all the students who worked tirelessly all day to cook and serve a delicious roast beef dinner with all the trimmings to the 164 seniors who attended this lovely banquet. The staff and students are to be commended for a job well done. The cafeteria was transformed into a beautiful dining room with white linen table cloths, black napkins set in long-stemmed water glasses and the menus that adorned the tables. All was very elegant. Proceeds of this banquet are allocated to bursaries. Please keep Wednesday, Dec. 7 in your date book for the next seniors banquet. Once again, thank you. Thelma S. on behalf of the banquet committee
Unsettling pictures meant to shock Editor: It is very sad that M. Johnston was upset and brought to tears at the sight of the aborted fetus’s display at Five Corners at lunch time. There is no question that it is unsettling—as it was meant to be. But, that is life—or rather death as some would have it—not too nice but then as a veteran I have seen many bodies torn apart by enemies whom I was also trying to kill.The main difference is that what upset M. Johnston no doubt was the fact that these were unborn innocent children who had not troubled anyone, in fact,
they were killed before they had taken their first breath. It’s OK though M. Johnston, as this is all approved by the taxpayer who picks up the tab for these murders, as that is what it is. We do have strong words for the Muslims who persist in cutting off the hands of thieves—and sometimes their heads as this is savage behaviour. But abortion isn’t, M. Johnston? These are innocent children we are killing, by the thousands, Muslims don’t do that. Tom Canning Chilliwack
Photos bring needed attention Editor: Re: Pro-life photos were in bad taste. Margaret, we are sorry that these images hurt you so deeply. We are, however, also comforted by your understanding of the injustice of abortion, regardless of whether or not you agree with our method of protest. The graphic images which we show the public are regularly met with confusion, opposition and anger, which has led us to pose the question why. Why are people angered by our images? Is it because we bring to the surface an already existing tension? Is it because we expose abortion for what it really is: the brutal disembowelment, dismemberment, and decapitation of a fellow human being? We’re sorry that these images caused you and your loved ones pain, but we assure you that we too are deeply disturbed by what they are depicting, and it pains us greatly to take such drastic measures in order to show the injustice. We wish it was possible for us to show the reality of abortion in a positive way, but there is absolutely nothing positive about the procedure. Society has dehumanized and belittled the unborn child in a manner so destructive, it warrants our immediate interference. Abortion is legal in Canada

through all nine months of pregnancy and currently the status quo shows no sign of changing. If these images are upsetting, we need to ask ourselves, is it worse that we are made uncomfortable by such a gory depiction of human slaughter or is it worse that this happens legally behind closed doors over 100,000 times every year in our great country? Margaret, you acknowledge in your letter that the pictures we use depict dead children, and it was our hope that after seeing these images, Chilliwack residents would be angered by the horror of abortion and inspired to get involved in bringing this injustice to an end. We have seen first hand the effectiveness of our approach, after a young woman who had scheduled an abortion last summer decided not to go through with the procedure upon seeing our graphic images on the street—and that’s only one of the many stories that prove the literally life saving power of the pictures. This young woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy last week. Graphic images are routinely used to communicate the reality of injustices and to compel people of good will to intervene: television stations show footage of bombed civilians in war-torn countries; campaigns against starvation show images of malnourished children with distended stomachs living in deplorable conditions; the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., displays pictures of the bodies of Jews killed during World War II. Far from violating human dignity or reducing human beings to things, such graphic imagery compels people with functioning consciences to funnel their money, their time, and their talent towards ending these crises. Margaret we’re sorry you disagree with our method, but greatly respect and are grateful that you took the time to share your thoughts on such a controversial topic. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us further at email@unmaskingchoice.ca. Jonathon Van Maren and Ania Kasprzak Chilliwack
Do something about intersection Editor: Yet another accident on Mother’s Day at the corner of Gibson and Chilliwack Central around 10 a.m. This is the second major in the last six months. It appears that the southbound thinks because of the highway flyover that the stop sign can be ignored. There is a simple
solution—put a red flashing light on the stop sign north and south bound. It will hold up traffic for four hours and cost $5,000-plus, but it will be worth it because somebody will be dead soon if this doesn’t happen. City of Chilliwack you have been told. Please address this intersection as my buddy is sick of fixing his fences. Hal Muxlow Chilliwack
Mom’s care was as good as it gets Editor: I wanted to thank all the people who have helped my mother. She was in the Eden Care Center in Chilliwack. She passed away April 12. She received the best care. Marion in the office and all the nursing staff, they made it so much easier for her when we were so far away. I would also like to thank Michelle. I know I never knew your last name, but please know that Mom really enjoyed being around you. We wouldn’t have had the last two years if you hadn’t checked on her that day. To Louise at TD Canada Trust, I really couldn’t have made it without you. To anyone I may have forgot. I’m sorry. Again I want to say, thank you Chilliwack. Toby Allphin Washington State
Close call could have been avoided Editor: On Saturday, May 7 at approximately 6:50 p.m. we were driving north down the Columbia Valley Highway. Just as we approached the entrance to Riverstone Heights a white SUV swerved left in front of us into the development. I was a passenger and I noted the driver of the SUV was not only driving fast, he was looking down. It was obvious that he was texting. I have noticed many motorists texting while driving but this was a very close call. If we had left our home a few seconds earlier we would have been broadsided. I know that writing letters to the editor is not always the best way to get a message across but I am hoping that the fellow texting that night will read this and realize that he is putting himself and others in jeopardy.

Quesnel owners accept Chilliwack offer BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he owners of the Quesnel Millionaires have accepted an offer from the Chiefs Development Group to buy the British Columbia Hockey League team and move it to Chilliwack. The owners voted unanimously Saturday to accept the offer, according to Millionaires president
BCHL Millionaires would become Chiefs Bob Sales. CDG consultant Glen Ringdal confirmed the groups had agreed to terms. When reached for comment Monday morning, Ringdal said he hadn’t yet been notified that the 15 owners of the Millionaires had ratified the sale. But he did say “we’re working hard
to make something good happen.” The move will now go to the BCHL’s board of governors, which must approve the sale and relocation of the club. Last week the league’s franchise committee agreed to allow the board to vote on the move, despite it being well past the normal December dead-
line for relocation. Sales says it could be a couple weeks until a vote is taken. While Saturday’s meeting was an emotional one, Sales said the owners had no choice but to sell the club. “It was really tough for us,” he said. “We just found that we
couldn’t continue any longer. We were just losing so much money.” If the club isn’t moved, it would likely have folded with the players scattered throughout the league. Sales said the news will be wellreceived by the Millionaires’ players. “The kids will be going to an excellent situation,” said Sales. “I think it would be a tremendous move for our kids.”

Back in the 1960s, a job with the Ministry of Highways kept the Duncan, B.C., native moving around the province, and his racquet and birdie were a way to plug into the communities where he lived. “Wherever you go, there’s always a badminton club,” he said. Chilliwack was no different. During the times he lived here, he played with the Chilliwack Badminton Club organized by longtime former city councillor Dorothy Kostrezwa. When he finally settled in Chilliwack in the 1970s, though, badminton was only one of a diverse collection of recreational interests he threw himself into. And he didn’t just participate either. After playing for a while in a spring fastpitch league, for example, he organized a summer league, and the two
eventually merged to form the Chilliwack Recreational Softball League, which in its heyday fielded 14 teams. In the 1980s, the league’s annual, year-end tournament was a major spectator event. “You wouldn’t find a seat there at those times because softball was so big in those days,” said Gadsden, who eventually also co-founded the Chilliwack Softball Association. To fill the winter months, Gadsden started up the Chilliwack Recreational Hockey League and filled the roster of his team (Cheam Sports) with off-season softball players for a 12-month recreational-sports cycle. “I tried to start things that were for more the casual, recreational players, although it turned out to be quite competitive sometimes,” said Gadsden, who admits his hockey skills were never on par with his badminton skills. (Fortunately his oldest son was on hand to witness a hat trick he scored during a game in Hope.) When his two sons were old enough, Gadsden put his organizing energies to work in their leagues, co-ordinating various
divisions in Chilliwack Minor Hockey and Chilliwack Minor Baseball for about six years. “I like organizing and bringing people together,” he said. Another recreational passion that has claimed a good chunk of Gadsden’s volunteer time over the years is fishing. In 1984 he helped co-found the Fraser Valley Salmon Society, and in 2002 he founded the Chilliwack-Vedder River Cleanup Coalition, which has so far taken 62 tonnes of garbage off the stream. “That was always my dream, to start an adopt-a-river program,” said Gadsden, an avid angler. For fitness, however, he still relies on his old standby—badminton, and his penchant for organizing never seems suppressible for long. Besides the Sunday afternoon club he started last fall, he is toying with starting a junior club this fall to give youngsters a chance to take up a sport that’s served him over a lifetime. “Badminton is a game you can play for so many years,” he said. “My mother started me going when I was six years old, and I’m 68 now and still playing.”

ennis Welsh knew too much about hockey to be a spectator. As a former Chilliwack Bruins goaltender—this was back in the 1970s with the Jr. A team that came before the Chiefs—Welsh knew a thing or two about the game his young son was playing. But, as many hockey-playersturned-dads and -moms can attest to, the knowledge fellow parents have for the game does not always correlate to their volume level in the stands. And even for an easy-going guy like Welsh, that can grate. And so, Welsh turned to coaching. That was more than 20 years ago. The 2011 sport hero hasn’t stopped since. “I’ve always enjoyed it. I’m a better coach than I am a spectator,” he said, with a grin. As his son Kevin grew and grew and grew, Welsh coached and coached and coached, from novice all the way up to midget.

Working with kids a rush
D
espite putting in a dozen-or-so hours a week into coaching basketball and committing 25 years to the program at Chilliwack secondary school, Joe Mauro deflects all plaudits and credit to others. For Mauro, the school administration has been flexible, the parents have been supportive and the athletes have always been dedicated. But his contribution to coaching girls, boys, juniors and seniors over the years has truly made a difference in hundreds if not thousands of lives. For Mauro, coaching basketball is a way to teach life skills as much as it is about teaching strategy or driving the lane or shooting three-pointers. “If you are involved in any extracurricular activities, that in itself will make you a better person,” he said. “You have to be organized, you have to be committed and you have to toe the line.” Over the years Mauro has volunteered countless hours for practices, games and tournaments, including his annual December tournament for all local teams.

2011 Sport Hero – Rob Visagie
Play hard, play fair, have fun
P
lay hard, play fair and have fun. As far as Chilliwack FC coach Rob Visagie is concerned, those are the three most important lessons his players can learn from him. “Those are three things I kind of live by,” he said. “You can do that in soccer; you can do it in life.” His teams have worked the ideas into their cheers, and the attitude behind them has paid dividends, not just on the scoreboard but in players’ lives as well. “Prior to knowing Rob, my son lacked confidence in his skills and was ready to give up on the sport,” wrote soccer dad Jonathan Ferris in a Sport Hero nomination letter for Visagie. “Rob took him under his wing, and he is now thriving under Rob’s leadership.” The key, according to Visagie, is focusing on players’ strengths. “You can always find something,” he said. “If a guy’s not real skilled, maybe it’s his work ethic. “You never criticize them for doing something wrong, but you sure pat them on the back when they’ve done something good.” Although winning isn’t everything, Visagie’s teams have had their share of success, like finish-

2011 Sport Hero – Suresh Parray
Enjoys making a difference
C
oach, equipment manager and vice-president Suresh Parray believes in the Chilliwack Minor Football Association and the difference it can make in kids’ lives. Looking back on his 14 years of volunteering with the organization, one of the first highlights that comes to his mind is Tylor Engel, a young man who “didn’t know which way life was going to go for him,” according to Parray. Chilliwack Minor Football took the young man in when he was 16 years old, and when he graduated from the program a couple of years later, he and his mom thanked the organization for giving him a second chance in life. “That’s why we do these things,” said Parray, preferring always to talk about players or the organization rather than his own individual contribution. But his own commitment has been impressive. “He devotes countless hours to our football association in all three of his positions,” said CMFA president and founder and former Sport Hero Wayne Bjorge. “He also volunteers for
every event we have, and he is usually one of the first ones to arrive and the last one to leave.” Parray started with the club 14 years ago, coaching receivers on his nephew’s bantam team. He had caught the coaching bug nine years earlier when he was still a senior player at Abbotsford secondary and helped coach a Grade 8 team at a nearby school. “You realize you can’t play forever,” said Parray, “so you kind of think, ‘If it all ends tomorrow, what else can I do?’ and coaching was something I enjoyed doing.” When his son started playing in Chilliwack at age seven, Parry’s involvement with the CMFA kicked into high gear. “From that point on, it’s been go, go, go, every year,” he said. Altogether, he has spent nine years as a head coach, and about three years ago, he also took over as equipment manager (no small job in one of B.C.’s largest associations). As a coach, he moved through the ranks with his son’s team until 2009, when they graduated from the program with a bang, winning the provincial champi-
onships after a perfect season. Parray, however, shows no signs of slowing down even though his son’s minor football days are over. He has continued on as head coach of CMFA’s midget team and is now going into his second term as vice-president of the association. The behind the scenes work appeals to him. One of his prouder achievements has been building up the association’s May spring camp, a fun, one-day introduction to football for kids ages six to 18 that has grown from about 50 kids six years ago to about 200 today. Whether he’s calling in plays from the sideline, making adjustments on a helmet or getting players in touch with college and junior football teams, Parray says his time is well worth spending to make a difference in kids’ lives. “We all do it for the same reason, to see kids get a chance in life,” he said. “At the end of the day, if you get one that succeeds and moves on, that’s what you’re hoping for. You can’t save them all, but you sure try.”
Suresh Parray was honoured at the 2011 Sport Heroes banquet Wednesday night.

2011 Sport Hero – Sean Bosko
You’ve just got to believe
A
ny talent Sean Bosko may have lacked as a basketball player, he makes up for as a coach. But those two things may not be unrelated. This year will mark a quarter century since Bosko, as a senior at Sardis secondary, first picked up his coach’s clipboard and led a Grade 8 boys team into action. As a young player, Bosko said he didn’t receive the push that players need to develop their game, and for the last 25 years, that experience has informed his relationships with his players. “Usually what happens is a coach says, ‘you’re not good enough, you’re not going to make it,’ and you give up on somebody,” said Bosko. “I developed a real need in myself to believe in other people to help them overcome some of the things that maybe I didn’t.” Bosko, who has coached at pretty much every level, has the experience and knowledge that comes with living and breathing a sport for years. But when he talks about his abilities, he comes back to fostering an inner drive in his players. “It’s a question of having the kids believe in themselves,” said Bosko. “God’s given me a gift and that gift
is making people feel they can do anything, that I believe in them and there’s no mistakes.” He said that his belief and acceptance opens players up to learning those skills that form the basis of any athlete’s toolkit. Bosko has also coached football, baseball and soccer teams over the years. But basketball has always been his focus. During his decades in Chilliwack—within the last year Bosko has moved to Abbotsford and begun coaching at Columbia Bible College—he coached boys and girls teams, from Grade 8 to Grade 12, in public schools, private schools, and after-school programs and summer leagues. He vividly remembers his first major victory as a head coach of a senior team—albeit an interim head. It was a Sardis-Chilliwack senior boys game and with the head coach absent, Bosko was left to take the reigns and lead his Storm team into a packed CSS gym. “We won by 38 points and no one ever thought we’d win,” he said. And that very first gig coaching his Grade 8 team in 1986 also remains etched in his mind. The team ended up losing in the Fraser
Valley championship game that year in overtime. Those memories remain fresh in Bosko’s mind. “I remember being at home. I lived with my grandma, I was 18 years old and I had all these trophies and I was so excited about how successful we had been as a team.” As those wins slip into the past, that first year coaching sticks with Bosko. “Those guys, they’re all my buddies, they’re all friends now,” he said. His sponsor coach on that team was none other than past sport hero Jack Covey. “I was very excited to see that Jack Covey was a previous winner, because he’s a guy who has believed in me from the get-go,” said Bosko. “It’s because of guys like him that I’m able to do what I do.” Indeed, it’s coaching mentors like Covey, Gary Wagner—a 2010 sport hero—and Michael Audet, who have taught Bosko and a new generation of coaches. “Those are guys who I’ve learned from and I’ve watched in the past on how to deal with people, and how they dealt with me, which really had a really positive influence.”
Sean Bosko was honoured at the 2011 Sport Heroes banquet Wednesday night.

ew who saw it will ever forget the emotional short program skated by Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette at the 2010 Winter Games just days after her mother’s sudden, tragic death from a heart attack at age 55. For longtime Cheam Skating Club volunteer Sharon Dahl, that day is among the most memorable things she has experienced in 34 years of giving her time to the sport. “Everybody was crying,” she said, “downstairs, in the tunnels, all the workers, all the people in the stands. It was just boxes of Kleenex everywhere.” Dahl was at the Pacific Coliseum that day, one of four field of play security supervisors heading a staff of 52 security volunteers, whose job on that day was to get Rochette on and off the ice and keep her away from the media mayhem. “We basically provided her with total security,” said Dahl.

CGH Auxiliary celebrates 100th
T
he Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary celebrates 100 years of service to the community on May 14. The early fundraising began in March 1908 when Carl Grossman and a group of young men organized two performances of a minstrel show to raise funds for a hospital fund. This event was followed in 1911 by a “Feast of Nations” organized by Grossman’s mother, Julia, and his sister, Elva. This two-day event involved women’s groups from the community and raised the equivalent of about $36,400 in today’s money. These women were the foundation of the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary, which was officially formed on May 1, 1911. Elva Grossman was the auxiliary’s first secretary. Now, 100 years later, the centennial celebration brings together descendants of Julia Grossman: three greatgrandsons, a great-great

Disappointed will be subject to a five-year driving prohibition. Joyce said that Biring’s community service could include speaking to truck drivers and others about the consequences of dangerous driving. Alice Rolleman and Elgersma’s mother, also named Alice, said although they knew it was possible Biring would get a conditional sentence, they were disappointed with the justice system. Rolleman’s mother said, “If it was a stronger sentence, it would also be important for other drivers that drive large vehicles.” “It’s unbelievable,” Alice Elgersma said. “He killed two boys. There’s a piece missing. Life will never be the same.”
