Colman gets oneyear jail sentence BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

convicted fraudster’s decision to skip his sentencing hearing and leave British Columbia backfired last Friday when he was handed a one-year jail sentence in Supreme Court. Last June, a jury found Marc Colman guilty of defrauding the CFB Chilliwack Historical Society and two banks out of a total of more than $38,000 by writing bad cheques. As a first-time offender whose crime didn’t include violence, Colman would likely have been eligible for house arrest. But he left the province prior to his sentencing last October and missed his ensuing court dates. EB IRST Colman was only First reported on recently found chilliwacktimes.com and arrested in North Bay, Ont. Crown counsel Paul Blessin said Colman’s decision to skip his sentencing hearing raised doubts about whether he would comply with a conditional sentence order. “Mr. Colman, I submit, has shown a complete disregard for the courts,” Blessin told Justice William Grist. “He has shown he will not comply with directions from this court.” Colman served as treasurer for the historical society. (Colman also held that position with the Chilliwack Métis Association; a small claims court has since ordered him to pay back $25,000 to that nonprofit.) “Mr. Colman’s actions in this case were reprehensible,” Blessin said.

Advance polls make history

ocal voters came out in record numbers to the four days of advanced polls held last week in Chilliwack and Chilliwack-Hope. The high turnout of local folks casting early ballots for the 2013 provincial election, however, is not evidence that overall turnout will be on the rise, according to past results. Residents in Chilliwack-Hope were particularly keen on the advanced polls, with 4,832 votes

or Chilliwack cleaning company owner Lisa Riobo, donating free house cleaning to women battling cancer just seemed like the right thing to do. So after getting her franchise, the Cleaning Authority, up and running in November, she signed on to Cleaning For A Reason, an international nonprofit dedicated to giving women laid low by chemotherapy treatments and cancer surgery a helping hand around the house. “We’re cleaning already, so why wouldn’t we do it for the people who really need it right now?” Riobo said. What she didn’t count on was how hard it would be to convince women to take the help. She registered one month ago with Cleaning For A Reason, which provides four free cleanings over four months. Since then, the husband of one woman undergoing cancer treatment signed up only to have the woman call back and say the free cleanings weren’t needed. But Riobo suspects it might just be hard for women to admit they need help. Local cancer survivor Bev MacGregor, a single mother and grandmother who recently finished her final round of chemotherapy for breast cancer, knows what that’s like. Cancer treatments wiped her out and interfered with her ability to concentrate and focus, she said. It took her until February, for exam-

But it was still hard to accept help around the house even from her sisters. “They did everything, and that made me feel so loved, but also it made me feel useless,” she said. “I’m very independent and I’ve always taken care of myself.” What she has learned from her experience, though, is that it’s important

for women battling cancer to accept help, not just for their own wellbeing but for other’s as well. “What I’ve learned is people want to help and people want to do something for you,” MacGregor said. “They can’t take away the cancer, they can’t take away your chemo, they can’t take away your pain or your anxieties or your fears, but people want to do something to help.” And help is just what Riobo, whose family has been fortunate enough not to be touched by cancer, wants to do.

Her company is the first in Chilliwack to sign on with Cleaning For A Reason, and she hopes other local businesses follow suit, since small businesses like hers can only take on about two clients at a time. “It would be really cool if more cleaning companies in the area would sign up for it because there’s no way there’s only two women out there battling cancer right now,” Riobo said. ◗ For more information about visit www.cleaningforareason.org.

He has even referred to extreme cases of rape and abuse in the system. This is an example of the oneissue candidate, according to Telford: “Somebody who is personally a victim of what he perceives to be egregious bureaucracy and he wants to exercise his democratic voice. It may make sense. It may not.” Candidates in the BC Conservatives and the Green Party—two established parties that are closer to fringe parties

hy would someone want to run in an election they have no hope of winning? The reasons are many: Frustration with party politics, motivation to promote an extreme ideology, or a fixation on one particular issue. So-called fringe candidates have been around since democracy emerged. In the 2013 provincial election we have independent Ryan McKinnon running in Chilliwack-Hope while in Chilliwack, Michael Halliday is running as the leader of a party he created, the BC Excalibur Party. The former will be lucky to get 100 votes and the latter should find suc-

Telford said motives range from attention-seeking on one particular issue or ideology to a feeling of having already invested a lot by those turfed from parties. Halliday says his motivation is based on the fact that he asked people (how many is unclear) who they were going to vote for and 85 per cent said they had no idea. This led him to create Excalibur, a party based on the legendary King Arthurian ideals of truth, honour and justice. As for where on the political spectrum he lies, Halliday said the “centre” with some ideas that “will benefit the wealthier and bigger business” and some “that will benefit labour unions.” McKinnon, on the other hand, has a passionate and personal beef with

News COLMAN, from page 1 “He acted from a position of trust in a charitable organization.” While Colman reaped tens of thousands of dollars by writing bad cheques, Blessin said Colman attempted—but failed—to pass bad cheques totalling $155,900 between September 2009 and January 2010. “This shows that this was not some one-time error made by Mr. Colman,” said Blessin, who asked for a one-year jail term, plus probation. Grist agreed, noting that Colman has shown an inability or unwillingness to comply with court directions.

Fire destroys Chilliwack home A

raging fire destroyed a Rosedale home late Sunday night. Firefighters arrived at the house, in the 51000 block of Old Yale Road, to find flames consuming both floors of a two-storey 1970s-era home. Firefighters worked to control the blaze and stop it from spreading to structures on neighbouring properties. “The fire was so intense that it con-

sumed the gas meter, producing a small gas leak that required Fortis to disconnect services at the road,” assistant fire chief Jeff Ullyot said in a news release. The fire completely destroyed the home, but no one was injured. Assistant fire chief Ian Josephson told the Times that animals that would normally have been at the home had been

recently placed in an off-site kennel. He said the occupant and her daughter and son-in-law had left to see a movie shortly before the fire broke out. Josephson said the family has insurance on the home. The cause is still under investigation, but so far no signs of suspicious activity have been found. - Staff

Bizarre start to trial Colman’s sentencing began in strange fashion Friday. Pleading poverty, Colman had represented himself at trial. At the start of the sentencing hearing, when Grist asked him about whether he was planning to obtain counsel, Colman looked down at his feet and seemed to shake his head. As Grist tried to extract a response, Colman remained mute. “I’m not hearing anything from you. Is there anything you would like to say in response to these questions?” Grist said. Silence.

Also gets probation “Mr. Blessin, I’m somewhat concerned by Mr. Colman’s non-responsiveness here this morning.” But when Blessin proposed adjourning the hearing to allow for a doctor to see the defendant, Colman suddenly came alive. “What I would like,” he said in an annoyed voice, “would be for you to get on with it so I can go back.” Colman said he hadn’t fled the province and that he had simply headed east in pursuit of food and shelter. “No I’m back here. Just get on with it please.” They did. After the Crown presented its case, Colman declined a chance to offer up arguments in favour of a more lenient sentence. “It doesn’t really matter what I have to say,” he said. “I didn’t flee anything. . . . Find food, find shelter, that’s all I do.” He added that during his trip east, he spoke to many police officers who didn’t arrest him. “In fact, some of them gave me a ride,” he said. But as for everything else, he said: “It’s done. You people are doing your thing. Please get on with it.”

Cheam elementary likely home for early French immersion program BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ost early French immersion (EFI) parents are in for a long drive if the Chilliwack school board decides to launch an EFI program in 2014. The board was scheduled to vote on what to do with the program Tuesday, and superintendent Evelyn Novak is recommending EFI be housed at Cheam elementary if the board decides to go ahead with it in 2014. But, according to a survey in December, more than 60 per cent of parents who want their kids in the program, live on the south side of Hwy. 1. The problem is a shortage of space at southside schools combined with projected enrolment increases for that

part of the city. “There are no locations in schools on the south side of Chilliwack School District to add an Early French Immersion Program,” Novak states in a report in Tuesday’s school board meeting agenda. Besides Cheam, the report outlines A.D. Rundle middle school and the old Rosedale elementary school site as possibilities. A fourth option could see the district designate one of the brand new schools proposed in its five-year Long Range Facilities Plan as a dual-track school. That option would also give the district time to put aside funds each year in an EFI reserve to soften the financial impact of launching the new program, according to the report. But local parents who have lobbied

for an EFI program for well over a year say that would take too long. “They would lose the momentum that we have created for the 2014, kindergarten and Grade 1 enrolment,” said Canadian Parents for French (CPF) Chilliwack president Jocelyn Thomas, “and it would be harder to find another group of parents three to four years down the road willing to be the first class of kindergarteners. It’s easier to start now because there are so many of us committed to helping create a successful EFI program in Chilliwack and would want to see its continued success in the future.” None of the options proposed in Novak’s report are ideal for southside parents, but Thomas hopes they will See EFI, Page 22

CHLORINE IN YOUR WATER

Q & A WITH ANDY FROM

AJ PUMPS

Don't like the taste or smell of your water? Here's what you can do about chlorination.

Q. How can I get rid of it?

A. Chlorine can be removed several ways....boiling the water is one way but tedious. Evaporation works but takes time, distillation is another method. The easiest way is with filtration.

Q. Can I just put a filter on my tap?

A. The filter can go on your whole house or individual taps or on your jug of water

Q. But don't I have to change filters all the time?

Andy AJ Pumps

A. Filters only absorb so much then they have to be changed. With our systems the average

home changes once a year.(depending on chlorine concentration and amount of water used)

Q. What about a permanent set-up under my sink. Is it expensive? A. Filtration can be installed at point of use under the sink with a separate tap or can be

connected to your existing tap. Do-it-yourself kits are about $125. Installed its about $225.

Q. My whole house smells of chlorine, especially after showering? A. If you don't like showering or brushing your teeth with chlorine a whole house filter can be

installed. Surprisingly this does not cost much more than filtering just your sink. Another advantage to this is that if your house is on a septic field you do not neutralize the bacteria in the field. We find the average home is only about $500 installed.

Chlorine is here to stay... you do not have to get used to it or learn to live with it. It can be effectively removed at a relatively low cost. -Andy.

Chilliwack-Hope NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony responds to a question about sign language at Pathways’ all-candidates meeting Wednesday. meeting was Chilliwack-Hope independent candidate Ryan McKinnon and Chilliwack BC Excalibur candidate Michael Halliday. Michael Henshall said he did not attend because he was sick. And Chilliwack riding Liberal and NDP candidates, John Martin and Patti MacAhonic, were at a private Rotary Club lunch meeting. After the set questions, a number of those in attendance got up to ask the candidates about various topics. Pathways attendee Jason Labrash asked those running for office when they would provide more funding for programs. Both Eros and Halliday said current funding is not used properly.

O’Mahony said the NDP would do a review of Community Living BC and “see where the money should be spent.” Throness pointed to funding the BC Liberal government has provided in recent years. “We are doing exactly what you said we should do,” Throness told Labrash. Reimer said funding for programs such as Pathways should be increased because that in turn helped maintain health and reduce other spending on healthcare. The candidates were also asked what they knew about sign language given some of the challenges facing the hearing impaired. Only O’Mahony stood up to show off a few signs she knows.

search was launched Saturday after a body found by a fisherman slipped back into the Fraser River before it could be brought to shore. Mounties say a local First Nations fisherman set his net in the Fraser Friday night near Cannor Road, between Chilliwack and Sumas mountains. When he returned the next morning to bring in his net, he found it was abnormally heavy. As he drew it closer to the shore, Mounties say he saw “a partially submerged body surface.” The net was only 12 feet away, but the body broke free of the net and rolled back into the river, according to RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. Chilliwack Search and Rescue attended the scene and began searching the river as did search agencies downstream in Abbotsford and Mission. But neither of those patrols nor an aerial search by a police helicopter turned up anything. Police around the province have been asked about any missing persons that matched the description. The fisherman reported the body as being of small build and about 180 pounds. But the sex and ethnicity of the body were not clear. A black jacket with a zipper up the wrist area was visible. ◗ As well, the RCMP are asking for the public’s help. Anyone with more information is asked to contact police at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Choose only the best exotic pet

eople often ask me, “Matthew, what is the best exotic pet, and where can I get one?” Yes, maybe I prompt them extensively, or even slip them $5 just for asking, but it is a good question, and one I enjoy answering. Obviously, you don’t want to get a baby macaque in a shearling coat. For one thing, everyone has one of those these days. On my drive home last week, I passed two vans and a former fruit stand, all selling rhesus monkeys, mandrills, squirrel monkeys, and howler monkeys. Most of them were wearing cheap nylon jackets, too. Nor do you want to pick up a poisonous snake (bitey) a constrictor (strangley) a large predatory cat (bitey again) or a member of the crocodile family (spin you underwater and hide your carcass under a log until you rot-y). Instead, you should get a time machine. It’s not hard, just make a note in your diary that today is the day you want your future self to turn up with your new pet. Remember to have gas money for your future self; time machines are not that fuel efficient, even after the passage of the Chronocatalytic Converter Act of 2034. With all of time and space to sort through, I do have some special advice for a future exotic pet owner. ◗ Velociraptors - Yes, everyone has seen Jurassic Park. No, that is not what you will get if you fill out an

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest order form for a raptor. First, real velociraptors are about the size of a smallish coyote. (There is a long and boring explanation about why the ones in the movie were so big, but according to some pesky court order, I am no longer allowed to ramble on about why this is so.) Second, do not under any circumstances go to one of the cut-price raptor breeders. Some of them will pull out all the feathers to simulate a “Spielbergian” look. Their animals are also terribly inbred, and are prone to colour blindness, gum disease, hip dysplasia, sickle claw rot, and disemboweling their owners. Better to get one yourself, from the late Cretaceous. Remember, if you can catch a wild raptor with your bare hands, without losing your face to a single claw swipe, it’s yours to keep. ◗ Big birds - If an aviary is more your style, try an argentavis. The largest bird ever, it had a 23-foot wingspan, and will certainly reduce the noise from your rural neighbours’ sheep and cattle once you start letting your pet out for daily flights. Or if you have a pool,

about 34 million years ago, there was a penguin species that hit 6’6” tall. If you can teach it to balance a ball on its nose, you’ve got a possible NBA player. (There is no rule in the NBA that says a penguin can’t join a team.) ◗ Giant sloth - A favourite for those who enjoy taking their animals for leisurely walks. Really leisurely. Really, pack a book and a camp stool. In addition, remember that sloths like to dig a sort of latrine and defecate in the same place every day, so you may want to go with the deep pile shag carpet if you’re going to have an “inside sloth.” ◗ Megalodon - For someone with a good-sized aquarium, the largest shark ever known. Existed up to 1.5 million years ago, at which point nature freaked out and realized it had created a 50’-60’ giant killing machine, and promptly snuffed it out. ◗ Some random egg - Any time between 220 to 66 million years ago, you can find nests full of eggs. What’s inside? Finding out will be half the fun! Will it be a tiny, endearing sauropod that will grow four storeys tall and crush half your neighbourhood with swings of its tail, or a ravenous carnivore with teeth like daggers? Either way, you’ll have hours of excitement, possibly ending abruptly. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance.

Volunteers are—wait for it—important. OK. That’s not breaking news. In fact, it’s pretty much the easiest, safest, least-controversial statement that we could write here in this space. That doesn’t make it false. In this paper (starting on page 13), we honour eight sport heroes whose volunteerism has gone above and beyond what is expected of them. The Chilliwack Community Sport Hero Award program began as a way to promote an active lifestyle in Chilliwack. It was borne out of a realization that living that type of lifestyle becomes much more difficult without a dedicated corps of volunteers. Without them, many sports would become prohibitively expensive and/or cease to exist. For children, especially, that would be a profound tragedy. While for some, sports is a fun way to spend a couple hours, for others, it provides a refuge from an unhappy life at school or at home. When you’re an outcast at school, you can make friends on your sports team. When your parents are absent, your coaches will be there. But when the volunteers dry up, none of that is possible. Other vital community groups, especially those in the arts, are in similar positions. It’s easy to take volunteers for granted. We figure that they’ll always be there or, if they’re not, some other superhero will be eager to step into their shoes. It’s not that simple, of course. Volunteerism requires a great deal of dedication. But those volunteers also need support—from their colleagues, from their families, and from their employers. Have you let that employee leave work half an hour early to coach their kid’s hockey team? Cooked dinner for a spouse rushing to a board meeting? Praised that timekeeper’s dedication? If so, give yourself a pat on the back. After all, every superhero needs a sidekick. Or two.

Easier than you think to fall victim to scams

Editor: I’m sharing this as a warning to others to be alert to this kind of scam by smooth, sincere-sounding criminals who catch you when you least expect to be caught. I’ve had all kinds of scam calls and e-mails in the past that I have not fallen for, but this caller caught me at a time when I was very tired, and obviously not in alert mode. I understand this kind of scheme has been around for some time but still is being used to catch people in weak moments. We love all our grandchildren so much that my husband and I actually “fell” for a scam artist pretending to be one of our grandchildren in trouble and needing financial assistance. We withdrew the requested money from our savings account, went to the Western Union service outlet at Safeway, and sent the money to the specified address. The wonderful woman, Ann, who served us tried to warn us by telling us of an incident some time ago that was very similar to the scheme tried on us. At the time, we were not convinced that our situation was fraudulent, so we proceeded with the financial transaction. Then, on our way home I said to my husband, “That story she told us sounded just like the situation we are in,” and we began to think, “Were we just taken?” We went over the entire conversation we’d had with that young woman who was pretending to be our granddaughter. She had not said who she was, just, “This is your favourite granddaughter.” I had then said, “I have six favourite granddaughters.” I don’t remember what she said next, but I thought the voice sounded like one specific granddaughter so I asked if she was that one, naming her name. That’s where I made the first mistake. I should have made the caller tell me her name herself. An earlier warning was that my husband answered the telephone when she called, and the young woman immediately asked to speak to Grandma. I suppose she knew from experience that grandmothers are the softer ones. Any of our grandchildren know that they can talk just as freely to their grandfather as they can to me; and any one of our grandchildren would not have immediately asked to speak to their grandmother. They would have talked to their grandfather since he was the one who answered the telephone. As soon as we were back at home, we called Western Union and asked to have

Fortunately, our request was granted and we were able to get a full refund of our money (including the service charge we’d paid). In making several telephone calls to family members afterwards, it was confirmed that this had indeed been a scam. Agatha Ratzlaff Chilliwack

They all will toe the party line Re: “We have no excuse not to vote,” Times, May 7. While, personally, I shall vote in the forthcoming election, it will be more out of habit than belief in our democratic system. No matter whom I vote for I shall have had absolutely no say in, unless I am a member of a political party, who the candidates will be. All of the various parties will have decided who will represent them in the various ridings and will finance their runs for those seats. As a consequence the candidate will not owe his allegiance to the voters of the riding, but to the party that provided the cash and support for his or her run. When the winning candidate goes to Victoria his loyalty must be to the party, as opposed to the voters in the riding. After all, should the winning candidate wish to run again in any forthcoming election, or be appointed to well-paid committees, or continue in office long enough to obtain the handsome pension which accrues for MLAs, he will toe the party line and when the leader says, “jump” the MLA will jump; and may not believe it wise to ask when he/she can come down. I believe such a democracy offers a very effective reason not to vote. I shall be astonished if this letter gets published since the illusion of our democracy must be maintained at all cost. Colin Genders Chilliwack

Glasses houses and stones Editor: Re: Mr. Baigent’s letter dated May 7, titled “Seperating myths from facts.” In his letter, Mr. Baigent expresses annoyance with Pastor Vandop’s faith that Jesus Christ was a real person sent by God, to redeem mankind of their sinful ways. Mr. Baigent is wrong in this that the church has been trying to prove that Christ is real for 2,000 years. The church or the true Christians have no doubt in their hearts that Christ is real and alive, as He conquered death for us, and will come again, to judge the living and the dead. As God has exalted Him above all and over all. And we have the Holy Spirit as our witness that Christ indeed did live, died, was buried and rose again on the third day. Could I point out to Mr. Baigent that the athiest view of evolution and Darwin’s theory, has not been proven, yet children are brainwashed with this notion in our public schools, and taught that they are descendants of apes. And even though there is no proof, as they have not established the missing link yet this is taught as fact. Yet the words Christ spoke resonates throughout the ages. “I have come in the Father’s name but ye believe Me not, another shall come in his own name and him ye shall believe,” still so true today isn’t it? People in glass houses should not throw stones. Sylvia Commerford Chilliwack

by ancient and current historians as he claims. From a qualified historian’s point of view, the Bible is not the definitive source of accurate information about the life and times of Jesus, but it cannot be completely rejected as at least one source of such information. In his zeal to determine whether or not Jesus of Nazareth, a purported charismatic Jewish rabbi of the first century C.E. existed, Mr. Baigent should start by reading the works of Josephus, a first century Jewish historian, and those of Eusebius, the “Father of Church History,” a third and fourth century Greek historian who lived in the former Palestine. Both accepted and recognized the existence and charisma of Jesus. Next, Mr. Baigent should read books by E.P. Sanders, Barrie Wilson, Maurice Casey, and Geza Vermes, all current or emeritus professors and historians at prestigious universities, who all used not only Josephus and Eusebius as sources, but also as many of the ancient writings about the time of Jesus as they could lay their hands on. They too accept that Jesus of Nazareth lived and died much as the Bible describes. Mr. Baigent

Sardis, G.W. off to provincials BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

igh school boys rugby reached new heights in Chilliwack last week, with both Sardis and G.W. Graham capturing first-ever B.C. Provincial Championship berths Thursday. The triple-A Falcons made good use of their brand new, $450,000 rugby field, downing Surrey’s Semiahmoo 70. The game’s only try was scored midway through the first half after Sardis scrum captain Louis Retief hammered to within five metres of Semiahmoo’s goal line. Taking the ball to ground, he was quickly supported by his fellow teammates, giving scrum half Graeme Fugger a chance to pick and pass to inside centre Perry Ross, who scored under the posts. Backs captain Joey Campbell made no mistake and slotted the conversion, putting Sardis up 7-0. The Falcons now take on Robert Bateman Thursday

at 4 p.m. in Abbotsford to determine seeding for the provincial tournament. Graham earn berth G.W. Graham, meanwhile, defeated Rick Hansen 22-14 in the AA Tier 1 Fraser Valley Championship semifinal Thursday. With the win the Grizzlies earned a provincial championship berth and now take on Mission’s Heritage Park in the Fraser Valley Championship final at the South Surrey Athletic Park Thursday at noon. The Grizzlies offence against Hansen was supplied by the Creasey brothers (Jake and Austin ), who teamed up for three tries (two for Jake and one for Austin) and by Ben Taylor, who scored on an offload by Davin Hyde. Clinton Hugh converted for two. “Overall, the boys played with purpose,” Grizzlies coach Paula Jordan said. “As a unit of 15 on the field, they were really patient and took offensive advantage when it counted, and they defended our try line fiercely.”

Clockwise from top: Sardis’s Joey Campbell lines up a Semiahmoo opponent with Ashton Babuin coming in to support. Brett Armstrong makes a tackle as Perry Ross gets ready to pounce on a loose ball. G.W. Graham’s Conner Herrmann shrugs off a Rick Hansen player.

DAN BIBBY

an Bibby has been coaching, organizing, networking and sporting an on-again-off-again Burt Reynolds-Smokey and the Bandit era moustache for Chilliwack Minor Fastpitch (CMF) for 17 years. Why has he stuck with it? “He’s quite proud of it,” says Steve Henrotte who nominated Dan for this year’s Sport Hero Award. “It’s not just a Movember thing.” But that, of course, just covers the moustache. The reason Dan—who has worked with the Ministry of Children and Family Development for almost three decades—has continued to pour countless hours of his free time not only into local fastpitch, but soccer as well, is that it’s good for community. “I just know how important community is from my job because I see the other side—the disadvantaged and the vulnerable teenagers, where there isn’t anything, where they can’t get involved in anything,” Dan says. “That just motivates you that you want to have as healthy a community as you can.” A Williams Lake native who moved to the Chilliwack area 25 years ago, Dan grew up playing mostly hockey and still plays rec today, but his son, Taylor, didn’t take to the sport 17 years ago. “He said, ‘No, dad, I don’t want to play,’ and I told him I was going

years in the sport and 10 years in soccer, and he coached his daughter Stacia for five years in ball and three in soccer. Neither fastpitch nor soccer were sports Dan had played himself, and during the course of his work with

DAVID SOLTYS D

avid Soltys often views volunteering through the prism of his travels around the world. This larger-lens approach lends perspective to the bounty we enjoy here in a first-world country. “I don’t want the next generation to take for granted how good a country we live in,” he explains. “I believe in setting the example of service to the next generation coming up. I see it as my civic duty and it also gives me a great feeling of satisfaction knowing that I’m making a contribution to my community. “I think it’s important that people who are considering taking on a volunteer role realize that there is a lot of room for skill building and self-improvement along the way. It can be a very rewarding experience. I know it has been for me.” A two-term president of the Chilliwack Minor Hockey Association (CMHA), David’s volunteerism hasn’t been confined to just the executive level. His many years behind the bench coaching son Kai and daughter Jasmine have given him a grassroots view of what is involved in running a large, all-volunteer sports organization. Like most parent-coaches who ascend to the executive level, David was approached by friends already on the CMHA board who asked him to join as a director. He quickly discovered that running an organization boasting 3,000 members—including coaches,

David didn’t have to look far for inspiration as past board members continued to provide support to the CMHA during his terms. People like Mel Voth and Lawrence Kinch, who spent six years at the helm of the CMHA and

laugh, “so we’ve kind of made it a thing where it’s Dan Bibby’s handbook. It’s got all the things a coach would need to know, right from rules to how to set up the field to what to do at a practice.” After his first year of coaching fastpitch, Dan joined the CMF board and has brought all his skills as a senior MCFD manager to bear for the organization ever since. He has served as both the vicepresident of the girl’s program and as CMFA president, and in 2011 he organized a provincial championship tournament at Townsend Park that many considered the most successful in years, according to Henrotte. Dan is at it again this year, heading up the committee to organize the 2013 Bantam Provincial Championships this summer. It will take organizers about three months and hundreds of hours to plan the event. Whether it’s organizing a big tournament or just keeping CMF running smoothly, the toughest part is usually trying to convince alreadybusy adults to get involved and volunteer their time, Bibby says. Luckily for CMF, they have a Sport Hero on board who’s willing to lead by example. “Dan is just as busy as everybody else,” Henrotte said, “but he takes the extra time and stays up late to make sure that it gets done properly.”

was a 2007 recipient of the Community Sport Heroes award, were invaluable resources. Among his contemporaries, David cites the work of colleagues like James Dick, Tracy Robertson and Janelle Rychtoswski as examples of volunteers who have provided particularly long-term and outstanding

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

contributions. “I’m proud of the team I’ve been a part of on the board,” he says. “We made some good improvements for minor hockey over the last few years.” During his tenure, CMHA added more members to the board by updating the constitution and

bylaws. A big focus has been on providing more resources to educate volunteers. They’ve created, revised and updated all the CMHA job descriptions and volunteer handbooks. They’ve also revised and updated the policy manual, an undertaking David described as a “huge job” and one that first vicepresident Tonya was instrumental in seeing through to completion. CMHA also made big changes to its website, brought in online registration and made greater use of email and website stories to get information out to members. “We have the very best volunteer base in CMHA,” he is proud to say. David’s volunteering hasn’t been limited to just minor hockey; he has also spent many years coaching both his children in Chilliwack’s minor baseball system. As well, David served on the board for the Hope Classic walk, jog and run event for spina bifida for five years. Maintaining a high level of volunteerism means finding a source of strength and encouragement and that’s something David doesn’t have to look far to find. “You do it for your kids, but your family has to support you,” he says. The CMHA member that submitted David’s name for the Sport Heroes Award says, “He has a positive attitude and a real passion for development and fun in sports. His motto is, ‘It’s all about the kids’ and every decision he makes is centred around this.”

RYAN MULLIGAN

His kids may have left minor lacrosse, but he remains an ardent supporter

ith a name like his, it’s a given Ryan Mulligan’s favourite sport would be golf, but it’s his 19 years of service to the Chilliwack Minor Lacrosse Association (CMLA) that has set him apart as a Sport Hero. Growing up in Hope, Ryan played every sport he could get his hands on, with golf taking up most of his summers. He didn’t know much about lacrosse until his mid-20s when he got a job at New Westminster’s Queens Park Arena, home of the legendary New Westminster Salmonbellies. “I didn’t even know what lacrosse was to be honest with you,” Ryan said. Watching the best lacrosse in Canada, he would soon learn, but even then he didn’t “catch the bug” and the game confused him. “I didn’t fully understand how it was officiated,” he said. “What I thought was a penalty wasn’t a penalty and what I didn’t think was a penalty was a penalty.” Today, as head referee of CMLA, and after coaching about a dozen teams over the last 19 years, he’s got a pretty decent handle on the game. That might never have happened if his oldest son Brandon hadn’t wandered into Queen’s

to lacrosse. But Ryan has stayed on with CMLA as head referee, passing on his know-how to the association’s team of young referees. “We have one of the best refereeing corps in the Lower Mainland as far as fairness,” says CMLA president Michael Ortutay, who nominated Ryan as a Sport Hero. “We always get complimented about our referees, and that goes straight to Ryan.” Look around the stands at Prospera Centre on game day, and you’ll likely see Ryan up in the stands, keeping an eye on his officiating protegés. “It’s always about the development of the kids,” he says. “That’s what I like to see. I like to challenge them and get them thinking about how they handle situations and think through situations.” He doesn’t always stay in the stands either, Michael says. “He has no problem getting on the floor with them and helping them on the floor,” he said. “If he sees them missing calls or stuff like that, he’ll go down there, talk with them, point things out to them.” But Michael says that’s just the kind of guy Ryan is, always around to help people out. “For a parent to put 19 years into the association—his kids aren’t even there anymore—it takes a special person.”

ow dedicated is Shelley Beer to volunteering? Well, let’s just say she was serious enough to make it a part of her wedding day. “It was in our wedding vows, to serve our community together and that’s what we do,” she’s proud to say. Shelley’s long history of volunteering with the Chilliwack Centre for Excellence (CCE) started by happenstance back in 1999 when she and good friend and 2005 Sport Hero Award winner Shonnet Allen put their kids in the kayak pool sessions at the old Cheam Centre. As she puts it, “the kids never stopped.” Shelley’s boy Derek, and Shonnet’s sons Craig and Jon, forged a life-long friendship through the sport of whitewater kayaking. So too, have Shelley and Shonnet. Chilliwack is blessed with some of the country’s most challenging whitewater as the Chilliwack River flows through an area known as the Tamihi Rapids. This stretch of river has seen its fair share of national and provincial championships, most of which, have seen Shelley take a key organizational role. She co-organized the National Team Trials in 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2010 and the Canadian National

And to top it off, Shelley took on the role of treasurer for the provincial association of the time so that the provincial board was operational for the local associations. Many folks will never know the full extent of Shelley’s work behind the scenes, but many athletes and their families know of her warm heart and generosity when it comes to opening up her home to those involved in the sport. “She has hosted parents who’ve accompanied their kids to training camps,” says Shonnet. “Some of the athletes have stayed for several years, coming and going as they attended camps and races.” Feeding a table that often saw a dozen or more people, was no small feat, says Shelley. “I can make a dish go round, boy oh boy,” she says. “I would go through three gallons of milk a day. You didn’t give them a juice box, you gave them a litre box.” Whitewater kayaking isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s often cold and competitions are held in areas requiring a considerable drive to a site where few creature comforts exist. The same level of dedication required by the athlete is also required by parents. “If you don’t have a parent that is devoted, you can’t do it,” Shelley says.

IAN PAUL

very sports group or volunteer organization of any kind has someone like Ian Paul. And if they don’t, they could really use him. Ian’s passion for dragon boating emerged in the last decade and has led him to become the glue that keeps the Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club together. “I’m there to back people up when they need help,” he humbly admits when pressed about his commitment to the club. “Ian’s hard work, enthusiasm and incredible number of volunteer hours have most definitely helped the club to become the success that it is today,” says his Sport Hero nominator, Ashala Palaniuk. Ian joined the club in 2002 as a founding member. His draw to the sport was serendipitous to be sure. “It started with a phone call: ‘Do you want to come out and do dragon boating?’ And I said, ‘What’s that?’ From that moment on I’ve been with it.” For the past 11 years, Ian has been actively involved with the club, serving in various positions on the executive, acting as a key player in organizing the junior team, serving on the regatta committee and helping organize all aspects of the club’s activities. He is also captain of his own team within the club called the

on the traditional Chinese cultural activity practised for more than 2,000 years. It emerged as an international sport in Hong Kong in 1976 and first came to Canada for Expo 86, when six boats were brought to False Creek for demonstration.

Her heart and soul is with the Cheam Skating Club and making sure its future is secure is a top priority

he Cheam Skating Club is in Kim Kelly’s blood. More than 40 years after her parents laced up her first pair of figure skates, Kim is doing what she can to make sure other Chilliwack youngsters have the same opportunity. As a young skater, Kim wasn’t exactly a star. She liked skating enough—especially the carnivals in which the skaters got to dress up— but she didn’t quite have the nerve to perform the spins and leaps required to go far. Instead, she took her dance tests, then drifted away from the sport in her late teens. But while her time on the ice may have been unspectacular, her work as a Cheam Skating Club volunteer has stood out from the pack. More than a decade ago, Kim returned to the rink after the daughters of her sister (and fellow Sport Hero) Krista Reimer began skating. Kim quickly became a key part of the Cheam volunteer corps and has since served in a variety of roles with the club, from treasurer to CanSkate liaison to registrar to iceshow volunteer. For Kim, who now has two daughters skating with the club, volunteering is a fun activity that comes with a sense of duty. Having watched her own parents help out during her time skating, Kim feels a responsibility to her daughters, to the club, and to the sport. “You do feel that obligation to

Ian says it’s a great team sport, available for anybody of any ability. “At our own regatta we host every year in Harrison we have blind teams, a team called Gift of Life made up of people with transplants. There is a multiple sclerosis team, a youth team . . . lots of youth teams. Then of course don’t forget the breast cancer survivor teams. It is a sport for everybody.” The camaraderie and inclusiveness keep Ian coming back to the water again and again. “The common denominator is the fact that everyone is there for the same thing: they love to paddle,” he says. “We always say to people who are thinking of trying it, there is no charge, no obligation and we supply all you need. “Just come out and give it a go.”

“She got on the executive when things were a little bit in disorganization and disarray and got them organized. She got it all organized, got the ﬁling system all organized and did a fantastic job getting things together.” Sharon Dahl

And at the skating club each volunteer is vital to its continued existence, with jobs plenty and roles fluid. “Sometimes we don’t have a full executive so you’re kind of a jack of all trades,” she says. That can present challenges. Kim became the club’s treasurer after a

year in which the position had been vacant, with other members handling the necessities. 2011 Sport Hero Sharon Dahl, a longtime volunteer with the club, says Kim quickly took charge. “She got onto the executive when things were a little bit in disorganization and disarray and got them organized,” says Dahl, who nomi-

nated both Kim and her sister. “She got it all organized, got the filing system all organized and did a fantastic job getting things together.” A lot has changed since Kim was herself a skater, but she still tries to model her work as a volunteer on the contributions of her parents, Al and Norma, who both served on the Cheam Skating Club executive.

Dahl says Kim and her sister have done their parents proud. “They come from a long line of volunteers,” she said. “No matter what one of the sisters was doing , they always brought along another one.” For Kim, being a parent provides a new way to enjoy the sport of skating—without the risks she feared during her own time on the ice. “They’re more brave and willing to do the jumps that I was never willing or had a desire to do,” she says. “I love that they are willing to do that.” That they are able to do so is because of generations of volunteers like Kim who have poured themselves into the Cheam Skating Club and aren’t about to stop now. “I don’t want to see this club fail after how many years,” Kim says. “My heart and soul is in this club.”

Chilliwack Community Sport Hero Awards

KRISTA REIMER

or Krista Reimer, figure skating has always been a combination of reward and responsibility. It started from a young age, when Krista would twirl on the ice and shine in front of the crowd during carnival. That was the reward; but it was joined by a deep sense of responsibility, dedication and volunteerism learned from her parents, both of whom were heavily involved with the the Cheam Skating Club. So when Krista’s daughters first hit the ice more than two decades ago, there was no question about whether their mother would also be involved. And along with her sister, and fellow Sport Hero, Kim Kelly, Krista quickly learned just why her parents—and her grandparents before them—had been so active in the skating community. “I just love to do it because I love what it gives back for the kids,” she says. “For me, it’s being able to watch those little ones go out there . . . and achieve their goals and achieve the dreams they have in their minds.” Krista is also a firm believer in the value of figure skating beyond the rink. “It’s a life skill,” she says. “I think sports are very important for the simple fact you learn a responsibility and how to plan and how to organize your life . . . . You have to

facilities and professional liaison. Krista says she was proud of the steps taken by the club during that time—at its peak, the club boasted 350 members. “I felt we were able to accomplish a lot in bringing back the sport to our community,” she says.

MIKE MCLATCHY

Longtime volunteer and 2011 Sport Hero Sharon Dahl says Krista played a pivotal role at a crucial time in the club’s history. “The club was going through major growing pains and we had an entire turnover of executive members,” says Dahl, who nomi-

Experience the thrill of winning, but learn from the sting of defeat as well

ike McLatchy might not be responsible for the success his daughters had in sport but he hopes to be responsible for the success of others. Mike is now coaching soccer to the third group of young girls he has followed through the various levels of Chilliwack FC over close to two decades. And while his daughters started him coaching, they quickly moved on to other activities with great success. His daughter Jenna won a gold medal in wrestling at the 2011 Junior Pan American Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil. And daughter Sarah had success in sport, moving on to music and becoming part of the world-championship winning Simon Fraser University Pipe Band. Mike just wants to give parents and young athletes a taste of what he had as the parent of successful sporting kids. “They got to levels in different sports and different levels of competition where they were given a really good opportunity by having really good coaches and good mentors, which took them to the next level,” he said. When Mike started coaching his daughter, he followed her through the various age levels until she “graduated” from Chilliwack FC.

nated Krista and her sister. “Krista stepped up to the plate and got people to actually run for the executive and got an executive in place. “She stayed with it, doing everything imaginable.” Many of those jobs were of the unglamorous sort without which sporting organizations cannot succeed. “We’ve spent days on her basement floor cutting out carnival costumes, making props, painting fish and making all sorts of stuff,” Dahl remembers. With her children in their 20s, Krista has since taken a step back from the executive but she continues to volunteer at competitions and around carnival time. She has also passed on the volunteering bug to her daughters, Brittany and Kaylene. And while many parent volunteers find themselves rudderless after their children grow up, Krista’s nieces—a decade younger than her own daughters—have renewed her connection to the sport. “I still feel like I’m still involved. The joy hasn’t changed at all,” she says. “I still enjoy watching kids just enjoy what they’re doing—and also looking at their outfits.” She says it’s doubly nice to be able to do all that with her sister and share a common goal “to see the club survive for many more years to come, to have other youngsters have their dreams fulfilled.”

come tenfold. It’s on the rise. Chilliwack soccer is able to produce some of the top players in the valley. We always have sought-after kids.” Mike McLatchy

Mike McLatchy was honoured at the 2013 Sport Heroes banquet last Wednesday night. Then he signed on as a non-parent coach with a new set of girls and carried those players through U11 to U18. This meant the girls that stuck with it didn’t have to re-engage with a new coach every year. “That way they build a sense of

security and a sense of commitment,” he says. “And because you are not a parent, you have to take it a little more seriously. You’re not just showing up because your kids are there.” For Mike it’s all about team bonding and having the girls expe-

rience what his daughters did. As anyone who has played sports knows, there are highs and lows in competition but for Mike the cup is always half full. “I like parents and kids to be able to experience the thrill of winning and the learning from defeat,” he says.

As for the state of soccer in Chilliwack, Mike says it’s amazing, something he credits to the work of the Chilliwack FC board. “Chilliwack soccer has come tenfold,” he says. “It’s on the rise. Chilliwack soccer is able to produce some of the top players in the valley. We always have sought-after kids.” That said, he happily recommends the sport to parents considering what to put children into. “Chilliwack has made it really accessible to play at any level.” Mike is on his third group of girls, and local soccer parents will be disappointed to know that this might be his last. Coaching is a huge time commitment and he will be missed. “Mike is a great ambassador for Chilliwack FC,” says Andrea Laycock who nominated Mike for the Sport Hero Award. “We appreciate all he has done for us over the years.”

News FRINGE, from page 3 in votes received than they are to the Liberals or NDP—put a particular emphasis on speaking for constituents and the fact that neither has a party whip. These constitute conscious efforts to break out of the party mould, according to Telford. “But there are others who want to go even further than that and there might even be some who would like to see a no-party democracy,” he said. “That, I think, is romantic and dangerously misleading.” Dangerous because that is the method used in countries where

dictatorships have been made to democratize by external forces. When this is done and when elections are forced to be conducted with no political parties, that ensures people cannot band together in efficient ways. And what often emerges is a power structure where the military or a new dictator takes over. “Politics really is a team sport,” Telford said. Fringe candidates typically receive in the one per cent range in terms of votes. In the 2012 Chilliwack-Hope byelection, Libertarian candidate Lewis Dahlby received 145 votes or one per cent. In 2009, perennial candidate Doro-

thy-Jean O’Donnell received 93 votes (0.55 per cent) for the People’s Front in Chilliwack-Hope. (O’Donnell has run numerous times for the People’s Front provincially and the MarxistLeninists federally in various ridings since 1988, never receiving even one per cent of the vote.) In 2005, the two local ridings had candidates for the Moderates and the Youth Coalition, the most successful of whom garnered 266 votes. But probably the most successful fringe party in recent history locally is the Marijuana Party. After Marc Emery’s failed bid in 2001 to win a seat in the federal election for his Canadian Marijuana

Party, the B.C. pot activist turned his sights on provincial politics with the goal of running candidates in all 79 ridings in the province. In Chilliwack-Kent, Marijuana Party candidate David Ferguson garnered 968 votes, or 5.25 per cent, for a fourth place finish behind Larry Commodore and the Green Party, who finished with 8.19 per cent. In Chilliwack-Sumas, the Marijuana man was Norm Siefken, who earned 1,130 votes or six per cent of the total. The BC Conservatives and the Greens, in addition to some of these fringe party candidates, could receive actual seats if the province

moved to a proportional representation electoral system. Many are skeptical of pro-rep as it creates more parties and forces coalitions for leadership. Telford isn’t as skeptical, pointing to successful democracies in Germany and Switzerland, both of which have pro-rep governments. He points to Canada’s federal government as an example. “The Stephen Harper Conservatives received 39 per cent support. Meaning 61 per cent hated them from day one. Whereas the government of Switzerland is led by a fourparty coalition representing 80 per cent of the populaiton.”

Chilliwack bucked trend with annual GDP increases BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

‘Literally roared out of the gate following the recession’

nearly half of all 46 mid-sized Canadian cities have still not recovered all jobs lost during the recession.

hilliwack had one of the fastest-growing mid-sized economies in all of Canada between 2005 and 2012, according to a new report issued by the Conference Board of Canada. The report entitled MidSized Cities Outlook 2013 found Chilliwack had average annual increases in GDP of 6.2 per cent, bucking trends across the country. While the recession in 2008 hit the entire country hard, the report included Chilliwack on a list of six cites that “literally roared out of the gate following the recession, expanding by more than five per cent in 2010 alone.” Duncan was the only other city in British Columbia on that list. The report was funded in part by eight Canadian midsized cities: Fredericton, Sept-Iles, Rimouski, Granby, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Brandon, Lethbridge and Red Deer. The report includes a review of economic indicators of all 46 mid-sized Canadian cities where comprehensive data are available from Statistics Canada. A “mid-sized” city is based on Statistics Canada’s definition of a census agglomeration (CA). A CA must have a core population of at least 10,000 and adjacent municipalities “must have a high degree of integration with the core.” The report found that

“The employment picture has been uneven among Canada’s mid-sized cities over the past decade or so,” said Mario

Lefebvre, director of the Centre for Municipal Studies. “A total of 21 cities have yet to see their employment levels

return to pre-recession levels. This is a troubling turn of events, given that these midsized cities play an important

role as economic engines in their respective regions.” C h i l l i w a c k , h ow e v e r, bucked the trend and is coasting along remarkably well by comparison, according to the report.

Obituaries

SPENST, Rod

Rodney Peter Spenst passed away suddenly on Wednesday May 8th at Chilliwack General Hospital at the age of 54. He was born November 3rd, 1958 to Jacob and Hilda Spenst in Chilliwack. Rod is survived by his loving wife of 35 years Alicia Spenst, his mother Hilda Spenst, his children: Andrea and Bob, Lisa and Tina, Daniel and Candase. He is also survived by his 7 grandchildren Danina, Chance, Silas, Jadeyn, Xander, Kayleen and Allison. He is survived by his only sister Pat (Rudy) Loewen and nephews Matthew (Thereasa) Loewen and Andrew Loewen who he was very close with. He is also survived by brothers and sister-in-laws: Bill (Yvette) Hawryluk, Gean (Roger) Reihl, Carl (Carol) Hawryluk, Dina (Bill) Turlock, Andy (Joan) Hawryluk, Gloria Hawryluk, Rick (Thea) Hawryluk and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father Jacob Spenst and his grandson Theodore Spenst. A Celebration of Life will be held Wednsday May 15th at 2:00 at Eden Mennonite Church followed by a tea where all are welcome to share stories. Rod already knew the career path he was destined for, carpentry, by the age of 18. The pride he took in his work was apparent to all and his reputation exceeded him. He shared his knowledge with family members he brought to the sites, apprenticed many and worked with his daughter Lisa for 10 years. He rode motorcycles, cooked exotic meals, was an avid reader, enjoyed coffee nights with buddies and travelled but nothing brought him more joy than his family. He married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life in 1978 and they welcomed two daughters and a son. These children brought spouses and many friends that Rod embraced as his own. In 2001, Rod officially added “Papa” to his resume, and the job rapidly became busier over the years. Rarely did a weekend go by without grandchildren filling his house with laughter and vying for the best spot on his knee. We know that God has a plan for us and Rod was called home earlier than we expected. Pages and pages could be written about Rod without doing him justice. He was a private man with many layers. He will be loved and deeply missed by many. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Children’s Hospital in Rod’s name would be greatly appreciate.
