Problem pit bulls relocated
Man dead after car accident near Five Corners
Mounties still looking to seize BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he owner of a pack of pit bulls that has terrorized a Popkum neighbourhood for months told police last week he has moved the dogs off the property. But the news comes as no great comfort to the mother of a 14year-old boy who was attacked and bitten by four dogs earlier in September. Earlier this year, some of the pit bulls in question also jumped the fence on the property and attacked Lorill Zandberg’s eight-year-old daughter Hannah. “Although we’re very happy they’re not in our neighbourhood anymore, it’s very concerning that the dogs are still out there somewhere,” Zandberg told the Times. “They’re vicious animals that have proven they’ll attack people and other animals. I know of another case where one of these dogs mauled another small dog in our neighbourhood. The owner doesn’t want to go public, but it happened.” The problem is that in Popkum, in electoral Area D of the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), there is no animal control bylaw. This led to frustration among police, neighbours and the elected representative for the area, Bill Dickey, who himself was chased by the dogs this year. As a result of the Times’ story on the attack of Zandberg’s son Jonathan on Sept. 4, police found out about a little-used section of the Community Charter that pertains to dangerous dogs.

Police guard a Promontory home where a 14-month-old girl was found in medical distress Friday night. She later died.
Foul play in baby’s death Man arrested Saturday has now been released BY DAN FUMANO The Province
T
he man arrested this weekend in connection with the death of a 14-month-old Chilliwack girl Friday night has been released without charges, according to the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Police suspect foul play in the death of the girl, and spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound announced Saturday that IHIT would be taking on the new file. An autopsy is now being conducted to determine the cause of death. Friday night, just after 10 p.m., the RCMP’s Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment attended a home in the Promontory area of Chilliwack, where they found an infant who appeared to be in distress.
The baby was taken to hospital, but attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. She was pronounced dead shortly after 11 p.m. Pound said investigators from IHIT and the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP were at the home Saturday. “Understandably, the parents are distraught about this,” said Pound. “It’s their only child. “Whenever you see a victim that really doesn’t have the ability to defend themselves, it’s always difficult. It’s difficult to see the families go through such a great loss. “It’s hard on investigators. They take it home. They have families themselves.” On Facebook, meanwhile, condolences have been flooding in for the mother of the baby since Saturday morning. “There are no words for a time like this,” wrote one woman. “They all sound lame and weak. We are so, so sorry for your loss and we sill be continuing to hold you in prayer as you grieve for your beautiful baby girl. God be with you.” – with files from the Chilliwack Times

59-year-old pedestrian was killed near Five Corners in Chilliwack early Sunday morning. The Vancouver man was hit by a southbound vehicle at the 45800 block of Yale Road just before 1 a.m., according to Chilliwack RCMP. Po l i c e s a y t h e p e d e s t r i a n “stumbled” into the southbound lane where he was struck. He sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to Chilliwack General Hospital where he died from his injuries. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said the driver stayed at the scene, and charges against the driver are not being considered. “He is being very co-operative with the police, and alcohol and drugs are not a factor,” vanNieuwenhuizen told the Times. The B.C. Coroners Service will likely take over the investigation into what caused the pedestrian to stumble onto the road. The man’s name has not been released.

Philip Funnell and his motorcycle rig before he ventured to Maryland where he sold the modified BMW and pod to a vintage museum.
Tyler Olsen/TIMES
Seeing the world on two wheels BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
F
orget your fancy gadgets, deluxe tents and expensive camping spots, Chilliwack’s Philip Funnell knows how to see the world on a motorcycle. First, find an old reliable machine that you can fix with your own two hands. Build a small trailer you can sleep in. It helps if you’re just five feet, five inches tall like Funnell. Insulate it. You want it to be warm. As a bonus, the aerodynamic pod will make your bike look a little like a 1950s-era space ship. Trust the first man to ride a motorcycle to the Arctic Ocean (the ice roads required he do so in the winter): Hit the road. Don’t go fast; you will see fewer sights, spot fewer deer and for what? A chance at a bad crash. Ride for hours, alone. Use a map—a real map that you can mark up with a pen. Trust the guy whose 1986 book on safe motorcycling now sells for $136 online. If you need to stop along the way, decide if you’ve got time to chat or need money. If you do, park your bike in front of the store. When you return to your bike, hawk your books to the
77-year-old Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductee has no plans to stop riding
several people standing around your motorcycle. If you don’t have time, park your motorcycle out of sight. Trust the 2010 inductee into the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame. When you’re done riding, hide. This rule applies in the third world, where you don’t want to be kidnapped or worse. It also applies in Canada and the United States, where you don’t want to have to pay for a camping spot or be hurried along. Trust the guy who first circumnavigated the globe on a motorcycle 52 years ago. An adventure touring motorcyclist before it was cool, Funnell has spent the past two weeks biking across North America on yet another crosscontinent voyage. This one saw the 77-year-old travel through the only five American states he hadn’t been to before ending in Maryland on Saturday, where he sold his extremely modified BMW and pod to a vintage museum. Funnell immigrated to Canada in the 1960s, and built a career out of motorcycles. He owned his own Vancouver dealership and imported

Soviet bikes. The experience wasn’t to his liking. “Dealing with Quebec and dealing with Transport Canada and dealing with the Russians and dealing with the mafia, it was all so difficult,” he remembered. Funnell experienced other troubles. On his round-the-world journeys, he said he was “robbed and taken prisoner and all sorts of stuff.” The sale of his BMW dealership went awry and when he got a job at another motorcycle shot, a serious fall nearly killed him. But he never lost his love of touring motorcycles and the open road. “It’s me to be that way,” he said. Funnell—who moved to Chilliwack after living for several years in Agassiz—now uses a small cane to walk, but he has no plans to stop riding. (He says his wife has long since “accepted” his need to ride.) Funnell isn’t rich, but he doesn’t need to be. The bike he rode to Maryland gets 55 miles to the gallon—and one of the reasons he’s gave it up is because the modified Yamaha he has
FREE FINANCING
to replace it will get even better mileage. His belief in hiding away saves him money, and his wife has filled his pod with enough food. And those books. His old bike will remain in Maryland, but when Funnell returns to Chilliwack, he’ll get right to work on the third version of his pod trailer, which he hopes will be warmer and sleeker than the earlier models. “Now I shall make Mach 3,” he said. “It will be much the same and a whole lot better.” It better be better; he may be 77, but Funnell is no snowbird who heads south at the first sign of bad weather. Thirty years after he made his admittedly foolhardy run north to Tuktoyaktuk against the wishes of the Canadian government, Funnell at least wants the option to return to the Arctic, should the urge seize him. “It will be super insulated; I’ll be able to use the ice roads again—if anyone wants to ride a solo motorcycle on ice roads,” he said. He says it with a note of whimsy in his English accent, but one can’t help but get the sense that Funnell isn’t building a super-insulated pod to make summer riding more comfortable.

hilliwack-Fraser Canyon Member of Parliament (MP) Mark Strahl has been appointed parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. The file is a familiar one for the family as Strahl’s father, Chuck, served as minister in the department from 2007 to 2010 before being shuffled to the transportation file for the final seven months of his 18 years as an MP. “I feel honoured to have been asked to take on this new responsibility,” Strahl said. “I look forward to supporting Minister [Bernard] Valcourt in helping build healthier, more prosperous and self-sufficient First
Nation communities.” The appointment came Thursday and was announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “I look forward to working with Mr. Strahl as our government continues to focus on the economy, keeping our streets and communities safe, celebrating our history, and promoting Canada’s interests on the world stage,” Harper said in a press release. “Mr. Strahl will play an important role in helping our Government deliver on its commitments to Canadian taxpayers, including keeping taxes low, protecting Canadian families, and putting our finances on a sustainable path.” Strahl was first elected to the House of Commons in the May 2011 federal election.

Coffee Can Help You Lose Weight ?
T
hat’s right. Have you heard about Green Coffee Bean Extract? It is a weight loss discovery that has many people and health experts quite excited.
A recent study on Green Coffee Bean published in the Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity journal examined 16 adults who supplemented with Green Coffee Extract for 12 weeks. During the study, each subject lost an average of 17 pounds - equalling 10% of their overall body weight and 16% of their total body fat! How does Green Coffee Bean work? The key isn’t the caffeine.... rather it is a natural active compound called Chlorogenic Acid. Chlorogenic Acid works by inhibiting the release of glucose in the body while at the same time boosting your metabolism or the “burning” of fat in the liver. These two mechanisms work together to inhibit the absorption of fat and eliminate weight gain. Wondering if you can get the same

Green Coffee Bean has about 23 mg of caffeine per serving whereas your daily cup of coffee has over 100 mg, and your “venti drip” has as much as 400 mg.

Allgood murder trial adjourned Fingerprint at shooting scene questioned
BY HANNAH SPRAY Saskatoon StarPhoenix
T
he murder trial of George Mitchell Allgood is on a long break after his defence lawyer raised the question of possible new evidence. Morris Bodnar asked for a one-month adjournment last Wednesday, saying he had been approached at an earlier point in the trial—which began Sept. 9—by someone who gave him vague information that he passed on to police. “Police have further investigated, and it deals with an individual and a fingerprint found on the door (at the shooting scene) and there has been a comparison done . . . and they are unable to include or exclude that as being the person who did it,” Bodnar said in court. He said he wants to get another opinion from an outside agency. Allgood lived in Chilliwack for years and was known to many in the community under the false identity Reno Trevor Hogg. He met the mother of his four-year-old son and the victim in this murder trial, Susan Reinhardt, in Chilliwack while working at Sto:lo Nation. Allgood is on trial for first-degree murder and attempted murder in the shooting of Reinhardt and David Ristow on July 15, 2006. Reinhardt died of gunshot wounds while Ristow was seriously injured. Allgood’s fingerprint was not a match to the partial print found on the patio door that led into the bedroom where Reinhardt and Ristow were sleeping.
Nor did his DNA match DNA found on two shotgun shells at the scene; Bodnar said he would like a DNA analysis done on the unnamed new individual as well. Crown prosecuMorris Bodnar tor Robin Ritter argued the court should hear more evidence about this potential new information before granting the adjournment. “Before you adjourn a trial like this for such a long period of time, perhaps the court needs to know whether or not this is information with merit . . . or based on a hunch by some character who wanders through the courtroom and speaks to Mr. Bodnar,” Ritter said. Justice Grant Currie granted the adjournment, noting the request “falls under the broad umbrella of trial fairness.” The matter will be spoken to on Oct. 24 in SasRobin Ritter katoon Court of Queen’s Bench, at which time a date for trial continuation will be discussed. Bodnar raised the issue of new information after the Crown finished a two day cross-examination of Allgood, who denied shooting Reinhardt and Ristow. A video of Allgood’s interview
CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY & SENIORS DAY
with police just hours after the shooting was played in courtWednesday morning. In it, Allgood—who had previously served time for a killing in the United States and was known under the false identity of Reno Trevor Hogg at the time—reacted with shock when Sgt. Randy Huisman told him Susan Reinhardt was dead. “Susan? Susan’s dead? Get the f---out of here,” Allgood said in an interview at the Saskatoon police station on July 15, 2006. The Crown played the video after Allgood testified on Tuesday that he was with certain individuals at the time of the shooting—providing some names for the first time. On the video, Allgood refused to answer questions about where he was at the time of the shooting and repeatedly asked to have a lawyer present. He asked Huisman if police were investigating David Ristow, Reinhardt’s common-law husband. When Huisman said Ristow had been shot at the same time as Reinhardt, Allgood again appeared surprised. “What? What is going on here? . . . When did that happen?” Allgood asked. His statements in that interview differ markedly from what he told an undercover police officer three-and-a-half years later at the culmination of an operation that targeted Allgood by drawing him into a fake criminal organization. On Jan. 3, 2010, Allgood told a fake mob boss that he shot Reinhardt and Ristow; he shared details such as where he acquired a shotgun and shells. However, he testified Tuesday that he was lying in that interview because he feared for his life if he didn’t tell the mob boss what he wanted to hear. - with files from the Chilliwack Times

◗ Opinion
A modern look at waste E very year, local governments in Canada spend $2.6 billion of taxpayer money managing 34 million tonnes of garbage. For decades, our emphasis has been on waste “management”—we accept the problem as unavoidable and do our best to reduce its negative impacts. Through activities like recycling, composting and waste-toenergy, we extract the maximum value from materials, but these methods don’t address the root causes of waste. So why do we have waste in the first place? In a word: design. The things we buy and use daily are designed to be thrown away. We call this “cradle-to-grave” design because products are born, used for a while and finally discarded to be buried or burned. But there is a new paradigm on the horizon, “cradle-tocradle,” where manufacturers consciously design their products and packaging to be easily disassembled, repaired, reused and recycled. Cradle-to-cradle represents a shift from a “take, make and throw away” model to a “circular economy,” where end-oflife materials become inputs for new products, just like in
MALCOLM BRODIE
Be Our Guest nature. Picture a forest floor: billions of years of collective evolution have created a system where nutrients and materials flow effortlessly and reciprocally, without any waste whatsoever. That is the kind of economic system we should aspire to, and nature may be our greatest teacher. According to cradle-to-cradle visionaries William McDonough and Michael Braungart, we can “eliminate the concept of waste—not reduce, minimize, or avoid it, but eliminate the very concept,” through mindful design. We’re all in this together, and there are many opportunities for positive action. Governments can enact laws to support the emergence of a circular economy, while creating a level playing field that fosters innovation. Businesses can empower their creative designers and
engineers to make products whose materials remain useful at the end, while using reclaimed materials in new products. Businesses can also encourage innovative, sustainable packaging with end-of-life solutions. And municipalities, NGOs and other sustainability advocates can work collaboratively to educate consumers, while promoting zero-waste habits. That’s what Canada’s new National Zero Waste Council is all about—government, business and NGO leaders joining forces to advocate for sustainable design, to influence consumer behaviour and to lobby senior governments for better laws, all toward transforming our relationship with waste. We need to rethink waste on all levels, and by working together, we will do it. Join us at Metro Vancouver’s third annual Zero Waste Conference on Oct. 16, where we will officially launch Canada’s National Zero Waste Council. ◗ Malcolm Brodie is the chair of the National Zero Waste Council. He is also the chair of Metro Vancouver’s Zero Waste Committee and the Mayor of the City of Richmond.
he provincial government’s BC Jobs Plan 24-month progress report looks pretty rosy . . . or at least, its report on the report looks good. The actual report itself is loaded with rose-coloured baffle-gab that attempts to mask a grim reality—the province isn’t really doing particularly well in a continuing sluggish global economy that has almost nobody doing very well. Premier Christy Clark maintains she is “tremendously proud” of the Jobs Plan’s “progress” since it was instituted two years ago. Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Minister Shirley Bond, who has most recently inherited responsibility for the Jobs Plan, optimistically adds that the report that our plan is working.” The report is peppered with positive enthusiasm suggesting successes—but it is also salted with carefully chosen euphemisms that hide realistic phrases that bury the success under politicians’ questionable hopes and dreams. The province is “on the threshold” of success, and has “successfully aided in the progress” towards “prospective” agreements that could (if they get beyond the prospective stage) realize 29,000 jobs. In fact, the province’s private sector is down thousands of full-time jobs—in real numbers, not just short of goals—since the Job Plan was instituted in 2011. Naturally, Clark’s government continues to pin its hopes on liquified natural gas—but reading between the carefully worded lines suggests that the dream is many kilometres short of pipe. The dismal economy is a problem for everyone. We get that. It’s the dishonesty that rankles. Scan this page with Layar or find this editorial SCAN on our website to see the WITH LAYAR government press release in question so you can judge for yourself how much of the report is just so much natural gas.

Letters
No right to get in the way Editor: It appears someone missed the point completely [“Bob should have reported names,” Sept. 19 Letters, Chilliwack Times]. I spare little disdain for the people who work hard and often put themselves at risk for our safety, just because they aren’t fully conversant with the letter of the law outside of their usual mandate. If the firefighter in question had insisted on barring me from the scene of the accident, I would have instructed him, as stridently as necessary (and indeed, I have been forced to do so, on occasion). My column [“Morbid curiosity raises rates,” Sept. 17 Be Our Guest, Chilliwack Times] was an expression of sympathy for the crap those guys have to put up with from people who misinterpret the law to mean that they have the right to poke their noses carelessly into accident scenes, often hampering rescue efforts and creating more havoc—the rubber-necking woman who smashed into the car in front of her was a perfect case in point. That’s where I prefer to direct my disdain. If you want to take pictures of an accident scene

Editor: I have just stumbled upon the opinion piece by John Les (former MLA and now paid lobbyist for Wastech Services) on the Sept. 8 issue of the Vancouver Sun. I must say I find it quite amusing that Mr. Les cautions Metro Vancouver not to listen to what lobbyists are pushing, and to listen instead to sensible waste management plans. In saying so, wittingly or not, Mr. Les is giving Metro a very strong hint not to listen to him since he himself is obviously one of the biggest

Letters LETTERS, from page 9 pushers for troglodytic method of garbage disposal, such as taking the stuff as far away as possible from the Lower Mainland and burying it where nobody can see it—except of course for the people who live in the Cache Creek-Ashcroft area whose health is at risk and may be at risk for centuries to come. Mr. Les would lead us to believe that Wastech and its methods are sort of saviourlike. He forgets (to admit) that the primary motivation of Wastech is to continue to to reap the huge profits it has enjoyed for the past 25 years, and that the only people who may indeed see Wastech as a saviour are the pushers of the status quo—mainly those in the Fraser Valley Regional District, who, to retain their own purity, have no apparent qualms of conscience about putting us all, native and non-native alike, at risk here in Ashcroft and Cache Creek. And when it comes to positive and negative approaches to waste management, let’s give due credit to Metro, which is doing far more composting and recycling than ever before, and let’s go heavily thumbs down on Wastech, which, though they have been directed by the Ministry to collect and convert to useful energy the massive amounts of gases that continue to escape from the Cache Creek dump, just continue to stall, allowing all this poison to escape into the atmoshere. So much for Wastech, so much for pushers like Mr. Les. Ermes Culos Ashcroft
Conscience and dignity lacking Editor: In response to Mr. Harris Sugimoto’s letter to the editor on Sept. 19, “Bob should have reported names.” Your letter of criticism regarding a journalist being asked by a fire crew to stop photographing an accident scene misses the point: that it was an accident scene, involving an injured party. The emergency responders were acting to protect the dignity and identity of the injured person. Your indignant suggestion that their names be published and that “they should be disciplined” I find outrageous. You go on to state that “we have a right, and maybe even a duty, to record our public officials at work, especially firefighters and police.” You mention the Toronto streetcar incident as an example of “police doing bad things,” but that is a complete disconnect from first responders at an accident scene. Who

appointed you judge and jury of these professional responders? Your letter exemplifies the often misguided, selfimportant attitude of too many people with a smartphone who fancy themselves experts in journalism and law. What is lacking in this brave new world of gonzo journalism is conscience and dignity. I think that if you were ever to find yourself in a similar predicament to that unfortunate accident victim,
Mr. Sugimoto, you would feel very vulnerable indeed having someone nearby who feels he or she has the “right and duty” to photograph you in your time of distress. Unless you are a designated journalist covering such an occurrence, then recording these incidents is voyeurism, pure and simple. Gail Hampson Chilliwack

Const. Chris Boden pulls a car over to issue a distracted driving ticket during a blitz on Thursday.
Driven to distraction
BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
A
s RCMP Cpl. Lee Dyson writes up a distracted driving ticket on Evans Parkway on Thursday, he lifts his head to see a vehicle cruising past with a for-sale sign on the windshield, another infraction. Const. Mike Sabulsky pulls over a vehicle in which the passenger is not wearing his seatbelt and, after clocking a woman speeding with his radar gun, Const. Chris Boden steps out onto the road to urge her to slow down. The three can’t keep up with the number of driving infractions during a half-hour period the Times joined the Mounties on a traffic enforcement blitz. On Thursday, the RCMP, the provincial government and ICBC launched a monthlong distracted driving campaign. Dyson is head of the Chilliwack Traffic Services unit. He was out with the two other officers and Mike Weightman, local road safety co-ordinator for ICBC. They were pulling over distracted drivers and handing out $167 fines. The officers were assisted by two Chilliwack Speed Watch volunteers and an undercover officer who pointed out violations. On average, 91 people are killed each year in B.C. due to driver distractions, which includes using hand-held electronic devices behind the wheel. Distracted driving is the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in the province behind speeding and impaired driving. “With vacations over and kids back in school, our roads are busy again, which is why we’re asking drivers to leave the phone alone and stay focused on the road,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, in a press release. “You’re four times more likely to crash when talking on a hand-held phone behind the wheel, and 23 times more likely to get in a crash if you text while driving.” A 2012 Ipsos Reid survey, conducted on
behalf of ICBC, showed that B.C. drivers consider texting while driving to be just as risky as drinking and driving, yet 40 per cent of those who own cellphones admit they’ve used their hand-held phone while driving. In a two-hour period on Thursday, police issued seven tickets for seatbelt violations, six for using an electronic device while driving, two for speeding, two for vehicle defects and one for operating contrary to driver’s licence restrictions. But it wasn’t all fines and warnings Thursday on Evans Parkway. Dyson shared a laugh with one driver and his passenger after Speed Watch volunteers called in a driver on cellphone. Dyson pulled the vehicle over only to find the man on the phone was in the left-hand seat, but it was a right-hand drive SUV.

BCHL notes
The Merritt Centennials Hockey Club acquired the CJHL playing rights to Connor LaCouvee from the AJHL’s Grande Prairie Storm in exchange for future considerations. Four BCHL players were among 11 Junior A prospects included in Monday’s NHL Central Scouting preliminary rankings list.
Tyler Olsen/TIMES
ockey players come in a variety of shapes and sizes: short, tall, skinny, almostfat. They might be athletic, but many—especially in junior hockey, when players are still growing into their bodies—are not athletes. Kyle Westeringh, though, is an athlete. At just 17 years old, the young Chilliwack Chief fills out his fivefoot-11 frame like a man. And he’s able to hurtle that frame around the ice at a rate of speed not easily matched by his peers. It’s a good combination for a player just four games into his first
junior hockey season—a stage at which a young hockey player’s main duty is to get the puck deep in the opposing team’s zone and create havoc. “He’s a bit of a specimen, physically, and he’s going to get bigger and stronger,” said Chiefs assistant coach Doug Ast. There’s no question that Westeringh belongs on the Prospera Centre ice. Which is good, because the Chiliwack minor hockey product is more than just a young energy player to the Chiefs. A franchise with the slogan “Chilliwack’s Team” needs at least a couple locals wearing the jersey on the ice, and with Josh Hanson’s departure, the emergence of another
local player who grew up cheering on the Chiefs helps maintain that connection between the community and the team. (Netminder Josh Halpenny is the only other Chief raised in Chilliwack). Westeringh is happy to be that Bridge. “I always wanted to be part of the Chiefs, in my hometown playing in front of friends and family and obviously with the support of the best fans in the league,” he said. “It’s always been a dream of mine to play in my hometown.” Westeringh tried out for the Chiefs last year, but failed to stick with the team. It was disappointing, he said, especially with a pair of other 1996-born forwards
making the cut. Westeringh, though, persevered, and put up solid numbers—20 points in 25 games—playing with the major midget FraserValley Thunderbirds. He also managed to see action as an affiliated player in three BCHL games for the Chiefs. He said being cut gave him “that much more of a drive” to make the team this year. He evidently did more than enough, and the Chiefs announced his addition to their roster prior to the start of training camp this year. It was the fulfillment of a pair of dreams—both for Westeringh and his mother, who he says was less than enthused about her child See WESTERINGH, Page 23

CG&CC up for big award BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
A
busy year at the Chilliwack Golf & Country Club has paid off with a nomination for a prestigious provincial award. The club has been recognized as the Lower Mainland Golf Facility of the Year by the PGA of BC. In October, it will go up against three other golf clubs for the provincial award. Facilities are judged based on the golf experience they offer, their record of hosting
events, and their overall operation. Chilliwack Golf & Country Club general manager Bryan Ewart said the award is a nice bonus after a year jam-packed with big events. “It’s a big honour and we are very proud,” he said. “It’s been a long, hard summer but it’s paying off.” Ewart also credited the growth of the Chilliwack Golf Academy under the guidance of Jennifer Greggain and Brad Clapp as a factor in the award.

Husker kick returner Dylan Boykowich was given a rough ride by Rams tacklers Jeremy Preston and Jacob Patko during Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference game at McLeod Stadium in Langley.
Huskers up against it now BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he Valley Huskers face an uphill battle to secure a playoff spot during the last two games of the B.C. Football Conference season. After a 54-7 loss to the Langley Rams Saturday, the Huskers are tied for fourth place with the Kamloops Broncos, who fell 30-0 to the Okanagan Sun over the weekend. While one of the Broncos final two games is against the last-place Westshore Rebels, however, the Huskers face two teams (the Sun and the Vancouver Island Raiders) currently in a three-way tie for first. “When it goes to points, [the Broncos] have two points extra,” Huskers head coach Tyson St. James told the Times. “We need to win a game before the end of the year, and we need Westshore to beat Kamloops.” But the Huskers are going to need a few more healthy bodies to make that happen. The team has had key injuries throughout the season and was already fielding a skeleton crew Saturday when linebacker Cody Slagman
A15
was sidelined with a knee injury that could keep him out for the rest of the season. “He’s within the top three defensive players in the league,” St. James said. Injuries also ravaged the defensive line Saturday. “We basically had four defensive linemen; two of them went down,” St. James said. “We usually play with four up front, so we actually had a backup offensive lineman playing nose tackle.” Not surprisingly the Langley Rams racked up a lot of offence: 414 yards to Valley’s 56. Dylan Boykowich put up more than half of the Huskers’ 40 passing yards, picking up 19 yards on two passes. Ty DeRayos contributed 12 yards on five carries to the Huskers’ scanty 26-yard rushing total. One bright spot in the game was a Rams punt—blocked, snapped up and run into the end zone by Boykowich in the second quarter. The Huskers next game is on Sunday, Sept. 29 in Kelowna against the Okanagan Sun. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.bcfcfootball.com.

he Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Each wish is personal and unique to the recipient. Whether it fulfills a fantasy, creates an adventure or includes a celebrity, the outcome is to bring hope, strength and joy to a child facing a medical condition. At IGL Financial, we like to call ourselves a “Wish Family” as one of our own has been granted this life changing gift. We’ve seen firsthand the joy and hope that the “wish experience” can give a child. Kate Roberge, daughter of IGL Financial Solutions President Dan Roberge, was granted her wish in 2012. Kate, who has cystic fibrosis, has always been artistic and aspires to be a photographer. The Wish Team granted her wish by giving her a new state-of-the-art camera and the equipment needed to set up her own home studio. The experience is one that Kate and her family will never forget. We can’t thank the Foundation enough for what they’ve done for Kate. She has already started her own photography business and is looking forward to a future doing what she truly loves, largely in part to the MakeA-Wish Foundation. In recognition of the extraordinary work that

Chamber welcomes new ED
T
he Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the appointment of Fieny van den Boom as its new executive director, effective Sept. 1. “It was important for us to find an executive director who knows the local business community, is passionate about Chilliwack, understands the needs of our membership, and have the aptitude to lead our Chamber for many years ahead,” said Chamber president Kevin Gemmell. “We believe Fieny has the ability to do so.” Van den Boom was born in the Netherlands. After graduating from high school, she worked for a major bank where she furthered herself by taking a variety of finance-related courses, and dealing with small business clients. In 2001, van den Boom, her husband and their three sons immigrated to Chilliwack. For the following 11 years, they owned and operated the UPS store in the Southgate Mall. “Through our customers, I learned much about Chilliwack and its people, which was
Fieny van den Boom part of my reasons to join Rotary. Getting to know people and working together to achieve a common goal, either by raising funds for a project or
through hands-on involvement, offers a sense of accomplishment I have found in the Chamber as well.” Fieny entered employment with the Chamber in September 2012. In her role of administrative assistant, she proved her ability to work well under pressure and get things done. When the previous executive director left, van den Boom accepted the challenge to run the Chamber as interim manager. “I am delighted to have the opportunity, and look forward to work with our dedicated staff to provide members with innovative resources to successfully find their way in today’s business environment,” van den Boom said. “Members will find an open door and mind to talk about how we can work even better on their behalf. And, I invite businesses that aren’t members yet to join us and discover the many benefits the Chamber, as a key business organization in Chilliwack, has to offer.” ◗ For more information, contact Kevin Gemmell at president@chilliwackchamber.com or call 604-793-4323.

Comfort food for autumn Sweet potato bisque
T
he start of the autumn season brings cooler weather and the rainbow of transforming leaves welcome us every time we step outside our door. It also earmarks the beginning of how our vision of food and celebration starts to change. With the dog days of summer behind us, we are no longer as worried about our bathing suit images, and the calendar lineup of commemorations is welcoming us with open arms. For many, this means indulgences in comfort foods to warm the soul, satisfy our hunger, and highlight the gatherings of family, friends and loved ones. Eating is a huge part of the social aspect of our lives, but this does not always have to signify a complete abandonment of healthy choices. There are many ways to pacify our desires SCAN with foods that are still very WITH nutritious, without leaving LAYAR us feeling void of pampered appetites. This Fat-Free Sweet Potato Bisque is the perfect fall recipe to accomplish this in your kitchen. Sweet potatoes are loaded with beta carotene (recognizable from their orange colour) and are high in vitamins A and C. Their moist sweet texture is ideal for mimicking richness, when in fact there is no added fat in this recipe whatsoever. Many are confused by the differences between sweet potatoes and yams, and this is due to the misinterpretation of the North American grocery industry. Sweet potatoes have orange coloured flesh, while yams are starchier, less flavourful, and have whiter paler flesh. The names here are usually mismatched with each other, but in Europe, for example, the names are assigned accurately. Although this soup is great served by itself, it is a remarkable first course to introduce traditional holiday flavours of stuffed turkey, cranberries, and all the trimmings. The addition of nutmeg and cloves gives it a warm earthiness and highlights the incredible natural flavour the sweet potato has to offer.The elegance of the presentation is heightened when beautifully garnished with swirls of sour cream and a sparse scattering of freshly chopped parsley.With the autumn
air surrounding us, this soup will help to soothe our cravings of comfort food while helping us watch our waistlines... at least with the first course!
Fat Free Sweet Potato Bisque
Makes approximately six portions as a first course. 1kg orange sweet potato, peeled, diced 1cm 1 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp salt 1/2 (one half) tsp ground nutmeg 1/4 (one quarter) tsp ground cloves 1/4 (one quarter) tsp ground white pepper 3-1/2 (three and one half) cups skim milk
For Garnish
1/4 (one quarter) cup no-fat sour cream 1 tbsp skim milk fresh parsley, finely chopped In a steamer in a large pot, steam the diced sweet potato over boiling water for 20 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Discard the water, and place the cooked sweet potato back into the pot, off the heat, and set the steamer aside. Add the brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and white pepper to the sweet potato and combine thoroughly with a potato masher, ensuring no lumps. Once fully mashed, start adding one and one half cups of the skim milk slowly while continuing to mash with the potato masher. Switch to a whisk, turn the heat to medium, and blend in the remaining two cups of skim milk, mixing thoroughly. Stir occasionally over medium heat until completely heated through. Taste and adjust the seasonings of salt and pepper, if necessary. While soup is heating, combine the sour cream with the tablespoon of milk. Portion the soup into bowls and drizzle small amounts of the sour cream mixture on each portion. Drag a toothpick back and forth across the surface to create a beautiful design. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately. ◗ Send your food/cooking questions to dez@ chefdez.com or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, B.C.,V2T 6R4.Visit him at www.chefdez.com.
