NO WINNERS, ONLY LOSERS IN GARY ALLAIN TRIAL

When a lost temper leads to tragedy

A wind storm for the ages BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

day after the windstorm that nearly paralyzed Chilliwack, city and BC Hydro crews were still working feverishly to remove trees and restore power. “Mother Nature was certainly in a snit,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said of the storm. “I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve lived here all my life.” Gaetz said during the day Tuesday there were 23 road closures, 75 trees down blocking roads, and the Chilliwack Fire Department responded to 100 calls in 12 hours. “That is the equivalent of about EB IRST three weeks of calls.” First reported on And on private chilliwacktimes.com property, the damage assessment began as heavy winds throughout the day Tuesday blew over sheds, damaged roofs and knocked down trees across the Fraser Valley and beyond. The day of severe wind got worse over the dinner hour Tuesday as 110,000 BC Hydro customers were without power at the peak of the storm between 5 and 6 p.m. On social media, it seemed everyone had an anecdote to tell about damage or unusual circumstances thanks to the storm. One person shot a video of a transformer fire on Patten Avenue. Images were shared of shattered trees, overturned sheds, roof-damaged barns and trampolines that turned into

dramatic conclusion that day, but no one was left with any sense of satisfaction. “No matter what I do here today, everyone is a loser,” Justice Joel Groves said a few minutes before he sentenced Allain to 30 months in jail for criminal negligence causing death.

It was April 15, 2012 just after 8 p.m. when Allain struck and killed Darcy Garnot with his pickup truck on First Avenue just east of Young Road, an act of pure rage that illustrated a staggering lack of maturity after a minor altercation a block away. { See TRAGEDY, page A17 }

Garnot’s common-law spouse Amy Kingdon, son Kadyn, daughter Kyneesha and Amy’s mother-in-law watched as sheriffs emptied Allain’s pockets, placed the 64-year-old’s wrists in cuffs and escorted him out of courtroom 201 to cells at the Chilliwack Law Courts. The case may have come to a

And while Chilliwack was hit hard, BC Hydro reports that North and West Vancouver were hardest hit by the winds. By 9 p.m. Tuesday, BC Hydro reported more than 80,000 customers were still without power and crews had plans to work throughout the night to restore power. By Wednesday morning, there were still more than 130 small outages affecting fewer than five customers across Chilliwack. There were other, larger outages as well, including 1,000 customers affected in the Columbia Valley, nearly 800 in the Chilliwack River Valley and nearly 2,000 in Rosedale and the Eastern Hillsides.

School trustee byelection hopefuls now at 12 T

here will be a dozen names on the ballot for the Chilliwack district school board byelection on Dec. 12. Fourteen individuals originally put their names forward to fill the vacant spot on the Chilliwack District school board, but two stepped out of the race. The byelection is required to fill the seventh vacant seat to replace long-time trustee Martha Wiens who passed away in September. A week ago one candidate, Doug Wiens, removed his name from the list of 14 and by the end of last week another, Ray Blanchette, withdrew

Chilliwack DPAC organizes two all-candidates debates slated for Nov. 26 at NLC and Nov. 30 at GW Graham as well. Friday, Nov. 13 was the last day to be removed from the official list but on Monday, chief election officer Carol Friesen said that one more candidate, Alisha Atkinson, asked to be out of the race. By Wednesday morning Friesen said Atkinson changed her mind and had agreed to let her name stand. The 12 candidates left are one fewer than ran in the 2014 general election for school board, and some of the names are the same. Karen Jarvis, Marion Mussell and Robert

Back in early October, RCMP officer Angelina Gosselin was the first to announce she would run to replace Wiens.

Another candidate, Brian Mielke, owns a manufacturing business in Abbotsford and an IT and software development company. Other candidates are John Edwards, Perry Sherstobetoff and Lisa Thébault. Those 12 names on the ballot may have very few votes to fight over as byelection voter turnout is traditionally low.

Push for voting change continues BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

n the heels of the recent federal election, the local Green Party candidate continues to push for a change to Canada’s firstpast-the-post system. Chilliwack-Hope Green candidate Thomas Cheney may have finished fourth with fewer than five per cent of the vote, but he’s hoping his party’s message of electoral reform resonated with voters. Cheney is one of the organizers of an event bringing Fair Vote Canada president Dr. Antony Hodgson to speak on Nov. 27. “Fair Vote Canada believes that 39.5 per cent of the popular vote does not justify the near-monopoly of political power that majority government provides,” Cheney said in a press release announcing the event. “To fix this, Fair Vote Canada advocates a shift to a proportional

electoral system. Under proportional representation, the make-up of the House of Commons would closely reflect the popular vote.” Hodgson’s visit to Chilliwack is part of a nationwide series Fair Vote Canada is holding to ensure 2015 was the last federal election under first-past-the-post. Cheney’s push echoes that of local Liberal candidate Louis De Jaeger. His party’s platform included a promise of electoral reform, and with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in office, supporters hope that will be fulfilled. “We will convene an all-party Parliamentary committee to review a wide variety of reforms, such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting, and online voting,” says the Liberal Party policy on electoral reform. “This committee will deliver its recommendations to Parliament. Within 18 months of forming government, we will introduce legisla-

tion to enact electoral reform.” Proportional representation is used in many countries around the world, including Germany, Scotland, Sweden and New Zealand. The system has received some criticism, with those opposed suggesting that it makes it easier for extremist parties to get seats, and that the coalition governments that ensue are less able to function efficiently and quickly given the diversity of opinions in Parliament. “Unfortunately, proportional representation has been subject to various myths including that it leads to unstable governments and prevents local representation,” Cheney said. “Fair Vote Canada and Dr. Hodgson look forward to showing that these objections are false and that the time has come for proportional representation.” ◗ Hodgson will speak at Decades Coffee House Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. after which there will be a public discussion.

Neyrinck bail review set for Nov. 20 BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he long winding court proceedings for sexual assault against one-time Chilliwack school board candidate Corey Neyrinck continue. Neyrinck, who also served as vice-president of the district parents’ advisory council (DPAC), already

faced charges including sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under 16, making or publishing child pornography and possession of child pornography in connection with offences from 2008. The 29-year-old has a scheduled review of his bail on Nov. 20, although he has been in custody since March 2014 when his bail was revoked after an alleged breach.

He was later charged with another breach after he allegedly contacted the mother of his victim from jail. In August 2014, Crown Counsel added a charge of importing or distributing child pornography. That alleged offence is dated May 3, 2012. A publication ban prevents details of any of the charges from being reported.

Windy Season

Try these two “Windy Season” tips: 1. Avoid neighbourly mix-ups by writing your address on your containers and lids! 2. Place a piece of 2x4 on the underside of your lid. Install screws with washers through the top down into the 2x4. The added weight helps to keep it from blowing around.

Peace is always the right course

◗ Publisher

t was with great sadness that we learned of the violence and death that was wrought on the people of Paris last week. We were appalled by the acts, angry at the perpetrators and bewildered at the motivations. Mostly, there is sadness. Sadness at the murder of the innocent, the most unjustifiable of crimes. But sadness, too, at this assault on peace. Were France’s streets safe, or was it an illusion? If safety was an illusion there, then is it an illusion in other places, like Canada? If we are not safe, should we be scared? And if we are scared, does that mean that the terrorists win? The problem is, it’s not as simple as winning and losing, or good versus evil, or us versus them. And though we must not allow terror to triumph, the threat is scattered and unidentifiable. It’s tempting to seek vengeance, but where do we go and what can we hope to accomplish there? The shootings and the bombings that terrorized Paris last week do not signal that the world is spiralling toward war, violence and death, because it isn’t. Rather, humanity continues to evolve toward a more peaceful existence. It’s hard to believe in times like these, but it’s happening, though slowly, too slowly. Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Peace must be not only our hope, but our guiding principle. It must be so. World peace depends on it.

Red tape reductions worthwhile

overnment departments are fundamentally different from private businesses in that they do not face competition. There is no voting with your feet if you think that frontline staff are unfriendly or if forms are confusing. It’s a recipe for mediocrity or worse, unless other ways of pushing for better service can be found. In this context, elected officials soliciting our feedback about government service improvement is a substitute, albeit a grossly imperfect one, for competition. Provincial Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction Coralee Oakes is doing just that. She is looking for your help to identify the blizzard of little irritants that arise from interacting with government. The six-week consultation, which ends on Dec. 3, is part of the government’s broader effort to keep a lid on red tape while preserving justified regulation. The minister is looking for “simple fixes that will improve your life when you interact with government.” It’s easy to contribute an idea on the website at: engage.gov.bc.ca/

LAURA JONES Be Our Guest helpcutredtape. It’s also worthwhile. The commitment to those who contribute is that, “While not every idea will be implemented, every comment and idea submitted will be reviewed and considered. A list of actions will be posted on the website.” This is not for show. The minister and her staff are taking this seriously, and we know they will be looking for things to announce on the recently legislated Red Tape Reduction Day in March and during Red Tape Awareness Week in January. The site now has more than 100 comments and suggestions. Much of it is common sense. One woman describes the frustrating experience of dealing with six different doctors as they tried to diagnose her husband. Next, in her words, “We asked to see his chart, so that we could at

least piece his prognosis together ourselves. We were handed a form and told it would be 30 business days. Apparently, the patient has no right to their own healthcare information. Obviously, this is not helpful.” Not surprisingly, there are many comments on the website about the challenges of dealing with the government electronically, from not being able to save a PDF to not being able to report a personnel change for a charity’s board without declaring the former board member deceased. The consultation is the perfect place to raise any number of business issues too, such as this one: There is a rule requiring a truck driver who is also a temporary foreign worker to get a work permit before being issued a driver’s licence, while another rule requires the worker to get a driver’s licence before being issued a work permit. And while we are on the topic of driver’s licences, more than 1,000 British Columbians renew their licenses each day. What if we could do that once every 10 years instead of five? Think of the time that change

alone would free up for everyone, including government employees. Broader issues for consideration include making sure government communication is intelligible, training staff to better understand the realities of the people they help, and ensuring auditors have appropriate incentives to behave professionally, with repercussions if they do not. In launching this consultation, Oakes has created an opportunity to take action on the small but important red tape issues that don’t grab headlines but do make differences in people’s lives. Resolving them contributes to the constructive relationship between a government and its citizens that is so important. It prevents the blizzard of little irritants from undermining our productivity and our good humour. This consultation is well worth the minister’s time and ours. ◗ Laura Jones is executive vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. She can be reached at laura.jones@cfib.ca.

Friendships forged in farm fire Editor: We would like to thank all of you who came out to help us when our farm burned down on Oct. 27. We could not have done it without your help. Unfortunately, we lost 120 of our cows, but all the rest of the girls were rescued by the quick action of those who stopped everything they were doing to come to the rescue. We were truly amazed by all the help. We had very little time to get the cows out of the burning barns, and without the assistance of neighbours and random passersby, we would not have saved the ones we did. From keeping the herd together, to making a human corral with rope and people, everyone pitched in to make things go smooth. The Hope, Popkum and Agassiz Fire Departments worked tirelessly through the afternoon and evening to keep the fire under control and prevent it from spreading to the house. In addition the Hope Police Department and BC Ambulance Service were also on hand to ensure the safety of the crew and provided valuable support. The farming community rallied around us and within an hour of the blaze, cattle trucks lined up to transfer our traumatized animals to safe farms around the Fraser Valley. A special thanks to Gary Baars and brother Wim Klop for their fantastic organizing skills in getting the word out and taking charge in relocating all our livestock. For those family, friends and neighbours who came with food, coffee, drinks and support for those involved, your thoughtfulness is also very much appreciated. A big thank you to all you farmers who took in our cattle: Wim Kloot, Mark Kostering, Mark Dalton, Theo Van Der Kooi, Ron Neels, Harvey Haan, Peter Hansen, Isaac Wisse and Janet Slootweg. An extra thanks

Editor: Re: Letter ‘Can taxpayers afford refugees?’ Times, Nov. 12. We were shocked the writer does not seem to feel any moral obligation to help the countless refugee families whose only fault was being caught up in a war not of their choosing and having their lives destroyed. The writer asks if we can afford to help. We ask can we afford not to help. Our upbringing was that we are our brother’s keeper which includes people who are somewhat different, who might wear different clothes and have different beliefs and speaks different languages (sort of like many people already living in Canada). The letter makes claims that Germany has closed their border to the refugees. Not so. The writer talks about what the people of the Netherlands feel. Who? When? All of them? No facts. Then we are told that “they” won’t be able to work. Who says? It is our belief that these people will be willing to do almost any job to be able to be in a safe environment with an opportunity to restart their lives and help their children. Many of them are middle class intelligent people and many of them do speak English. There are many jobs which can be created on a temporary basis to carry out projects our governments have been sitting on for various reasons, which in turn makes these people taxpayers. The writer then goes on to that good old niqab issue where one person has taken the oath wearing the face covering after having shown her face to officials in private. If this frightens the writer, then perhaps she should talk to these refugees to understand what real fear is. Andy and Bev Fraser Chilliwack

› Faith Today BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church

ast week my buddy Reg Toews wrote a great article on the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Syria and beyond. He made the comment that Jesus as a young boy was also a refugee—something I had never considered. While we are at it, it is fair to say that the genealogy of Jesus was also refugee-based since the Old Testament book of Ruth (from whom Jesus descended) is the love story based on the kindness to a refugee (or perhaps she is just an economic migrant) received in a new land. Closer to home, our own Chilliwack community is full of refugees and migrants (if you think about it from the perspective of our First Nations brothers and sisters). Perhaps the most obvious example would be the Mennonite experience. A year or so ago I had an interesting conversation with a Mennonite who explained to me (a non-Mennonite) how there were in fact a number of different Mennonite experiences based on different historical persecutions and pogroms in various parts of the world. The end result was a series of “influxes” to the community and resulting churches being established. This is not to say that concern for refugees is a uniquely Christian

impulse. I think it reflects the best of our human impulses (I would add a God-reflected one) when we long to alleviate the suffering we see around

us. And yes, the suffering is on a scale we have not seen since the end of the Second World War. I have heard and read some of the

pushback when it comes to getting involved. While some of these are based on real substantive concerns (how are we going to get the support

systems in place for 2,500 people let alone 25,000), other responses frankly seem little more than dressed up fear, suspicion or worse. Many of the concerns being expressed would be answered by actually meeting a family who has come in with the refugee program— whether Bosnian, Vietnamese, or Mennonite. Maybe, just maybe, we are all refugees. This Christmas season there will be many opportunities to look beyond your own needs to show care and compassion to those less fortunate than you. We do have some great local opportunities such as helping with organizations like Ruth and Naomi’s Mission and the Salvation Army. There is also a local initiative being put in place called “Chilliwack Cares” that seeks to pull together a community-wide response for all those in Chilliwack who want to play a part in responding to this refugee crisis. Whether you represent a local business, community group, student leadership team, local artist/musician, or particular faith group, there will be opportunities to get involved. Together we can show the compassionate side of our amazing city at this critical time. Stay tuned.

Jordan Kawaguchi celebrates after scoring on Prince George Spruce Kings goalie Sam Tanguay during a Chiefs 4-1 win Saturday at Prospera Centre. Kawaguchi compiled four goals and an assist over the weekend.

Streak reaches nine BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

Though he had less work to do Saturday night against the Prince George Spruce Kings, Pelino let one of 14 shots past him at Prospera, denting what could have been a scoreless weekend for the netminder. But his team’s offence more than doubled the King’s output with 35 shots on their visitor’s net. After a scoreless first frame Kawaguchi put one past Prince George goalie Sam Tanguay at 6:43 followed by a goal from his towering teammate, six-footfive defender Austin Adam (his first of the season). Kawaguchi put his fourth goal of the weekend on the board with fewer than 20 seconds on the second period clock. Spruce King Braiden Epp was the only opponent to score on Pelino last weekend, his goal finding net about four minutes into the third frame. Mitch Skapski’s empty netter at 18:20 put the final score at 4-1 for the Chiefs. The Prince George win marked nine wins in a row for the Chiefs and started a string of seven home games that keep Chilliwack on Prospera ice until early December. This weekend they will welcome Powell River on Friday and Mainland first place contenders Wenatchee Wild on Saturday. Both games start at 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre. Following those games, Prince George will be back in Chilliwack for a rematch Wednesday at 7 p.m.

ow on a nine-game winning streak after beating Surrey and Prince George on the weekend, the Chilliwack Chiefs overtook Wenatchee to secure first place in the Mainland division. Chiefs captain Jordan Kawaguchi and goalie Aidan Pelino led their team to a 7-0 win over Surrey at the Eagle’s nest Friday and again at home versus the Spruce Kings 4-1 on Saturday. Kawaguchi had four goals and an assist over the weekend, while Pelino only let one of 41 shots past him during the two games. Friday at South Surrey arena, Kale Kane opened the scoring with a powerplay goal at 7:29 in the first period, followed by a Mark Esposito’s marker only 48 seconds later. Then it was Kawaguchi’s turn. He scored his first goal of the weekend with only six seconds left in the first frame. In the second period, three Chiefs goals in quick succession by Darien Craighead (6:30), Kawaguchi (7:08) and Jesse Lansdell (7:50) brought Chilliwack up to a 6-0 lead before the midpoint of the game. And with only two minutes remaining in the matchup Eric Benshadle scored his first goal of the season to make it 7-0 where the score would stay thanks to Pelino’s perfect 27 saves.

Quinter new Husker coach

he Valley Huske r s h av e a n e w head coach for the upcoming season, re p l a c i n g a re c e n t l y released Adam Smith. Jason Quinter a former U.S. high school player with university-level experience will head the Chilliwack BCFC team in 2016, announced Huskers president Jack Covey Tuesday in a press release. Quinter runs “Best in Class” football camps aimed at preparing high school players for either junior or CIS level football. He is also coaching High School Football in Abbotsford. Quinter grew up in

a football family, his father Bill Quinter was a player with Ottawa, later becoming coach and then general manager of the team. Jason was at his father’s side later when Bill was an NFL talent evaluator, a job that took him from B.C. to New Orleans. Jason told the committee he “has a lot of work to do over the next few months recruiting both quality coaches, and enthusiastic players.” The new Valley Huskers head coach also said that he was looking forward to moving to Chilliwack and getting involved with the community moving forward.

Griz win playoff game

➤ JOCK SCRAPS Send sporting events to

The G.W. Graham AA varsity football team won in their first round of playoffs 38-21 against South Kamloops Saturday at Exhibition Stadium. The favoured No. 1-ranked Grizzlies were up 24-21 against the Titans at halftime, but a GWG defence blanked their visitors for the remainder of the game. Von Richardson ran for three touchdowns in the first half with Jordon Breuker and quarterback Gabe Oliveras each scoring a major after intermission. Also on offence, Tyler Sprott made four receptions for 126 yards. Defensively, Tristan Davis caused two fumbles and Cainen Bergh made 11 tackles. It’s off to quarterfinals for the Chilliwack team as they take on Holy Cross this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at BC Place.

Key aces

Chilliwack’s Dayton Pagliericci delivered some key aces to win a close second game against the top-ranked Camosun Chargers in the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) men’s volleyball action Saturday in Victoria. Though the Cascades won the

first two games (25-19, 28-26), Camosun came back to win in five sets adding to their four-set Friday victory over UFV. The Chargers preserved their undefeated record at 8-0, while the CCAA No. 13-ranked Cascades fell to 4-4.

Weekend split for UFV

Local basketball player Kayli Sartori tied the game for her UFV Cascades women’s team in the last minute with the MacEwan Griffins Saturday at the Envision Athletic Centre. Her spin move and finish in the lane at 49 seconds on the clock made the evening’s 59-59 score a last chance for UFV— one they couldn’t pull through. The Griffins won 63-59, splitting the weekend with the Cascades. Sartori led the game in scoring with 24 points and also had 11 rebounds in a her performance for the Cascades (2-2), who were coming off a 72-61 win over MacEwan on Friday.

CHILLIWACK TIMES

{ TRAGEDY, from page A1 } When seemingly inconsequential actions lead to tragic consequences, those left behind are left with despair and frustration. Allain’s lawyer Martin Finch evoked American author Tom Wolfe’s 1987 novel The Bonfire of the Vanities at the sentencing hearing Nov. 10. While the novel is more about the greed and excess of Wall Street, the plot centres around a hit and run—a quick mistake that killed a man, and ruined the life of the man guilty of the crime. “It’s a story of how one small decision, a small mistake, can have life-changing consequences,” Finch told the Court. “There is a clear lesson: the loss of self-control can lead to unpredictable destructiveness.” A tragic encounter Darcy Garnot was from Prince George where most of his family still resides. In 2012 he had been estranged from Amy Kingdon— the mother of his two children Kadyn and Kyneesha—for about five months. On April 15, he started drinking with friends but he was angry, angry that he couldn’t be in Prince George for his father Larry’s birthday. As he got drunker and drunker, and angrier and angrier, he was walking south on Young Road near First Avenue with a girlfriend, Stacy Wedel. He crossed the street, turned east onto First and had a brief encounter with Gary Allain. What was said remains a mystery, but at least one witness saw Allain’s small dog go flying in the air and Allain knocked to the ground. “Some witnesses said Mr. Garnot kicked a dog, others weren’t so sure,” Crown counsel Brian Fell told the court. After Allain went down, the exchange seemed to end, and Garnot continued walking east with Wedel. But it wasn’t over. Allain went to his apartment next to the Mac’s and, moments later, witnesses saw a black domestic pickup truck drive by on more than one occasion. On one pass the male driver exchanged words with Garnot before driving off. Garnot’s phone rang. It was his brother, Larry Jr. calling from Prince George. Wedel walked ahead of Garnot to give him some privacy as they headed towards Nowell.

Powerful victim impact statement Then Wedel said she heard a crash, felt a gust of wind from behind her and turned to see Garnot buckled over and motionless. He was brought to Chilliwack General Hospital (CGH) and, at 8:30 p.m., pronounced dead. One witness driving by said she saw what she thought was an impaired driver swerving into a garbage can that flew through the air. She saw Alberta plates on the vehicle and noted six out of seven digits later matched to Allain’s truck. The next day, RCMP Cpl. Derek Santusuosso headed back to the scene of the incident on a hunch. Sometimes hitand-run culprits abandon vehicles nearby and claim they were stolen. Some witnesses recounted the exchange with the older man with a small dog, but said the driver of the pickup was younger, maybe in his 20s.

On April 16, Santusuosso saw an older man with a small dog and asked if he had been in an altercation the evening before at Mac’s. The man, Allain, said he had so the officer detained him as part of the investigation. The two went to Santusuosso’s unmarked vehicle and got in. The officer noted Allain nodding his head as he was told about the hit and run after the altercation, but it was when Santusuosso uttered the words “causing death” when the Mountie detected shock. “Allain’s mouth opened into an ‘o’ and his eyes widened,” Fell told the court. “Mr. Allain spontaneously uttered a few things. . . ‘Oh holy, I thought he hit my mirror with a stick. I guess my life is ruined now.’” Barely 15 hours after Allain killed Garnot with his pickup truck, he was under arrest, later charged with criminal negligence causing death.

Tears in court Kadyn Kingdon found out through Facebook that his father had died. He said his mother was too afraid of what his reaction would be to tell him in person. “I feel like a blind man who has lost his seeing eye dog,” Kadyn told the court as part of a victim impact statement. “Not anyone or anything can fill the void.” Kadyn said his father worked three jobs and was generous and loving. “He never got to see me graduate, to grow into a man, he won’t see me have my first child. . . . He was taken from me when I was 16. . . . I never got to have a male role model and because of that I am sad, angry and confused.” There was little if any emotional reaction from Allain as Kadyn read his statements from the witness box just a few metres way. After, Fell read brief { See TRAGEDY, page A18 }

remarks from several other victim impact statements to the court. One of those was his common-law spouse of 18 years, Amy, at whose workplace Garnot died. Amy is a care aide at CGH as is her mother who was also in court. “Every time I go in there it’s a reminder,” Amy said this week at her home. Allain’s lawyer Finch told the court that the then 61-year-old from Grande Prairie, Alta., was semi-retired in Chilliwack and intended to live out his life in the area. As defence lawyers do, Finch briefly recounted his client’s life, including that he was chosen by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1970s and played for a stint for the farm team in Toronto. Allain worked mostly in the oil fields but also as a logger and later as a truck driver. He

has no spouse, no children and, seemingly, few if any friends. He doesn’t drink alcohol or have any substance abuse problems. What he does have is unresolved anger issues. He has at least one conviction for assault in the distant past. After the incident that killed Garnot, and because of the “wrath” in the community, some of which came from his neighbours where he lived, he sold his possessions and his condo in a “fire sale” where he lost approximately $50,000, according to Finch. “He has also lost about $50,000 of income since 2012,” Finch said. As far as aggravating circumstances in sentencing, the only thing even mentioned by the Crown—who did not allege that he meant to kill or even injure Garnot—was the fact that Allain

was a professional driver who should have known better. “All motor vehicles are potentially dangerous,” Crown Carolyn Kramer said. “Mr. Allain could have avoided the situation by not taking his car out.” At the sentencing hearing, Crown asked for three years in custody, defence asked for 18 months to two years. Groves began his decision by expressing just how senseless the tragedy was. “We would not be here today

if not for the apparent lack of control of the accused. He could have called 911. He could have walked away. He could have driven by and had a verbal exchange and been done with it,” he said. Groves sentenced Allain to 30 months in prison followed by a two-year driving prohibition upon release from custody. Outside the court, after the sentencing, Amy Kingdon expressed the lack of satisfaction that comes with cases such as this. “It’s better than nothing,” she said of the two-and-a-halfyear sentence. “I don’t think he was all that sorry. I think he is empathetic because he has to be. “At least it’s over . . . well, it’s not over.” That’s because Allain now faces a wrongful death lawsuit.

Bradford Loomis joins Ben Rogers in performing at Bozzini’s Upstairs Lounge Nov. 27.

ozzini’s presents a night of Americana/Canadiana with some blues, roots, folk, and gospel mixed in for what promises to be an exceptional double bill of two very accomplished singer-songwriters Nov. 27. Ben Rogers will be making his Chilliwack debut while Bradford Loomis will actually be performing on Canadian soil for the first time. “Ben is an artist I’ve wanted to have perform here since the release of his first album, that guy writes some great tunes.” says Emmanuel Asprakis, artistic director of Bozzini’s Upstairs Lounge. “As far as Bradford Loomis goes, I watched him perform in Bellingham last Summer at the Green Frog Acoustic Tavern and was so blown away that I invited him to perform in Chilliwack before he even got off the stage and he accepted with a big smile. It’ll be a treat

One thing is for sure, he would have stories to tell. Born in the Northwest in more modern times, Loomis has lived to tell a different, but no less exciting, tale. Through years of choir, band and orchestra he discovered a powerful kinship to the songs and stories of those bygone eras as they helped show him a meaningful way to tell his story. Loomis marries grit and melody to dig to the roots of American folklore and speak of the raw reality of the human condition with passion. ◗ Ben Rogers and Bradford Loomis play Bozzini’s Upstairs Nov. 27. Doors at 8 p.m., show at 9 p.m. Tickets at Bozzini’s or call 604-792-0744 to reserve by phone.

Local talent takes Centre stage New series highlights homegrown musicians

ocal music talent electrifies the stage in the new series The Centre Rocks starting on Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. The Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society has teamed up with multi-media production company Tractorgrease to bring the community exciting new rock concerts in the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre throughout the year. The first concert will include the band Midnight Lions. Bringing a rocking, yet harmonious sound, inspired by the changing tides of time, this four-piece group comes together to incorporate voice, feel and energy. The gentle touch of Alison May on keys, guitar riffs taken care of by Simon Menard, thunderous bass by Brandon Clark mixed in with the power grooves of Conor Barclay on drums, Midnight Lion’s sound incorporates something guaranteed to please. Also performing in the Nov. 21 concert is Broadway Bombshell. Their explosive sound is a mixture of heavy blues, psychedelic and classic rock. Influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix and The Allman Brothers, their original formula for rock’n’roll is sure to make you move. The fourpiece outfit consists of: Ben Thorne: lead vocals/ rhythm guitar ; Carl Hands: lead guitar/vocals; Darc y S cott : dr ums/ percussion; and Mark McDonald: bass guitar/ vocals Adding to the evening is The Great Atlas, a brand new inspiration actualized by singer/songwriter Cole Prpich and violinist Joey Richter. Presenting a blend of contemporary lyrics and melodies with classical roots, Cole and Joey aim to deliver an unexpected performance. Their acoustic arrangement is deceptive as they take the stage with power, passion and presence. Destined to collaborate, Cole and Joey first met in performing once together for a mutual friend, but would not meet again for years to come. All the while keeping a thought in mind of what songs they would compose or journeys they may embark. Now, fate has joined the duo as their story begins. Treating the audience to a voice that floats on

a wave of butterflies in a spa is Lakeisha Hewitt singing indie pop songs. And the captivating Dennis Bouwman who writes Americana songs inspired by the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Kris Kristofferson

and Gram Parsons will complete the concert.

◗ The Centre Rocks! with incredible local bands

Nov. 21. So join the crowd in the perfect intimate setting to experience a concert and come dance to the fantastic talent that we have right here in our own backyard.

enore, the award-winning tenor group that burst onto the Canadian Gospel Music scene brings their Christmas show to Chilliwack Dec. 3 as a partial fundraiser for little Greta Loewen and family. Based on their recent 2014 GMA “Seasonal Album of the Year” award, this show promises to capture the spirit and magic of the holiday season with some of everyone’s favourites, plus in the true spirit of Christmas be a support to Loewen, who is battling spinal cancer. Appearing with Tenore will be the beloved and local, MEI Concert Choir. Founded by Jill Ann Siemens, Tenore has received tremendous acclaim in its short time together. Nominated in an incredible 11 categories at the GMA Covenant Awards, Tenore has now walked away

with four plaques, including their latest take, the 2014 GMA Award for “Seasonal Album of the Year” for their Christmas album, “Christmas with You”. They have sung to hundreds of thousands from Kampala to California and are known for their powerhouse vocals, rock star charisma and invitations with audiences everywhere to sing along with them, creating a powerful concert experience. Tenore’s concert to help Loewen is a continuation of the vision of Siemens, also founder of multi-platinum recording artists, The Tenors (previously known as The Canadian Tenors). Her unwavering work has encompassed the creation of musical projects that help the world’s most needy and vulnerable children. Through her vision that is now being carried forward by The Tenors, millions of dollars have

been raised in support of Bulembu International, a tiny town in Swaziland caring for orphaned and abandoned children. Carrying the torch also is Tenore who have helped raise life changing funds to assist children in Uganda and South America. “In our lives,” Siemens says, “we have opportunities everyday to give a smile to someone who needs it, to help someone who falls in front of us, to lighten a heavy heart, to stand in someone else’s shoes and truly do unto others. Dec. 3 is going to be the time for Tenore to help Greta Loewen and her family as they face ongoing days of unconditional love and support needed to help Greta battle spinal cancer.” ◗ Call 604-391-7469, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or The House of James for tickets.

OBITUARIES

Robert â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnson 1917 - 2015

Robert â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnson passed away on November 9, 2015 with his family at his side. Pat was born on St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, March 17, 1917 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he lived until enlisting in the Royal Canadian Navy in 1941. He served as a Coder on several ships in the Atlantic and Pacific until his discharge in 1945. Pat returned to Winnipeg after the war and married Jessie McIntosh in 1947. They combined their honeymoon with a move to the Coast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a ten day drive in a 1932 Chevrolet - complete with his parents and all their belongings! Pat got a job cleaning bathrooms at the Coca-Cola plant in Vancouver and soon progressed to sales. In 1965 he was promoted to Branch Manager of the Chilliwack Coca-Cola plant, a position he held until his retirement in 1981, completing 33 years of service with the Company. Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion in life was helping others, directly or through community work. Soon after moving to Chilliwack, he joined the Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club and was a member for 50 years. He became involved in many fund-raising activities and was the driving force behind the creation of the Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club Flea Market. Of his many accomplishments he was particularly proud to have single-handedly collected over 300,000 pairs of used eye glasses to help people in third world countries. Pat loved playing hockey and later enjoyed watching his Son, Grandson and Great-grandsons take up the sport with equal passion. His Wife Jessie passed away in 1999 after fifty two years of marriage. They were devoted to each other and their family. For the past 12 years, Madelene Lange has been Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close companion and friend, sharing his dedication to community work and love of social activities. Pat is survived, and sorely missed by Madelene; his daughter Marlene (Alec); son Danny (Cathy); grandchildren Robert (Victoria) and Teresa (Derek) and two great grandchildren Ryder and Reid. In lieu of flowers, donations to Chilliwack Lions Club are greatly appreciated. Online guest book can be signed at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca

A Celebration of Life will be held at Chilliwack United Church, Friday, November 20th at 1:00 pm.
