Drugs, weapons seized from Chilliwack home Possible connections to Duhre Group; see related story, page 4 Vikki Hopes Black Press A man believed to have connections with the Duhre Group is facing several drug and weapons charges after police executed a search warrant in Chilliwack’s Promontory neighbourhood on Tuesday night. Police seized seven firearms, ammunition, drugs and cash from a residence in the 47000 block of Brewster Place. The Abbotsford Police Department’s gang suppression and drug enforcement units were involved in the search and seizure, along with the RCMP Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team and Chilliwack RCMP. Among the firearms seized was an Uzi semiautomatic gun. Also found were high-capacity magazines, an extendable metal baton, more than 2,400 rounds of ammunition, thousands of dollars in cash, and drugs – OxyCodone, ecstasy, heroin and cocaine. The home was vacant at the time, but a 32-yearold man associated with the residence was arrested at about 6 p.m. when he attempted to drive past. Close to a pound of methamphetamine was located in his vehicle. Const. Ian MacDonald said Abbotsford Police were involved in the Chilliwack arrest because an investigation into the suspect’s activities had already begun in this community. “We knew that he had connections to that residence (in Chilliwack) but, historically, we’re dealing with someone who has resided in Abbotsford,” he said. The man, whose name has not yet been released, is known to police. MacDonald said at least one other person connected to the home is under investigation and could face charges. MacDonald said the arrest attests to the solid work being done by the gang suppression unit, and other police detachments in the Lower Mainland, in identifying and disrupting gang activity. The Abbotsford Police have previously identified the Duhre Group as the dominant gang operating in that city.

‘Tactical evacuation’ gets Chilliwack family out ahead of debris slide Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A family on Old Orchard Road had to be evacuated from their home last week — two days before a debris slide came down at the base of Chilliwack Mountain. “We actually evacuated the home last Thursday, before the slide came down on Saturday,” said James Macdonald, emergency coordinator for the City of Chilliwack. The property owner had previously contacted city officials with concerns

about the stability of the hill behind his property in the wake of heavy rainfall. “We went out and did an investigation, and we felt they were vulnerable where they were,” said MacDonald. “We made a tactical evacuation in the advance of the slide event, so it was a preemptive measure.” The excessive rain is likely the cause of the debris slide that came down on Jan. 22, but the extent or cost of any property damage is not known. “It was a debris slide, and involved more than just mud,” said the official. Geotechnical engineers will be making a formal assessment of the slide and

filing a report to the city in due time, MacDonald said. The family is still out of their damaged home under evacuation order, and after accepting the offer of accommodations for four nights by Emergency Social Services. Neighbours graciously offered support by taking the family into their home since then. “It’s a property issue now as opposed to a life-saving issue,” he said. “We are continuing to monitor the embankment behind them and we will try to get them back into their home as soon as possible.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com

FVRD woos Abby with ‘more equitable plan’ Robert Freeman The Progress A re-organization plan at the Fraser Valley Regional District that includes a “more equitable” funding formula was discussed during an in-camera board meeting Tuesday night. But it’s not clear if the final plan expected next month will contain enough to keep the City of Abbotsford from leaving the FVRD to set up its own regional government. “We’ve embarked upon a jour-

ney, but we don’t have a final destination in mind,” Abbotsford Mayor George Peary said Wednesday after the in-camera meeting. The city may yet decide to remain within the FVRD, he said. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said Wednesday that a “more equitable” funding formula was being worked out by FVRD staff long before the issue became public when the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce put out a news release claiming the city was not getting good value for taxpayers’ dollars at the regional district.

“If Abbotsford is being treated unfairly ... there’s ways that will come up to deal with that,” she said. “We’ll deal with it and figure out how we can make (the formula) more applicable for Abbotsford.” “If they don’t stay, we will recover,” she added. “But we may not be able to do things the same way.” She said some “downsizing” at the FVRD may occur, but staff have now been advised and are “working hard to get ready in case it does happen.” The Chilliwack-based FVRD, which delivers services from

Abbotsford to Boston Bar, had a $6-million payroll in 2009. Abbotsford paid $2.5 million into FVRD tax requisitions in 2010, while Chilliwack paid $1.8 million and Hope paid $1.2 million. Mission was the fourth-largest contributor at $818,000. The Abbotsford Chamber is arguing the city is paying the lion’s share of service costs delivered to “free riders” in rural areas of the region. But Gaetz said that over the past year the regional district “has been looking at operations to make sure

Cancer fight over, but smiles continue Katie Bartel The Progress Her smile is gone, but it won’t be forgotten. Julie Houlker, co-author of Choosing to Smile, passed away last Friday after a long battle with cancer. She smiled right to the end, said friends. For 15 years, Houlker fought off three forms of breast cancer, had two mastectomies on the same side, and when the cancer returned five years ago, it had spread to her lungs and was in her bloodstream. She was given no more than two years to live. But Houlker was a fighter. “Julie was very determined and when she said she was going to do something, she did it,” said longtime friend Michelle Rickaby, co-author of Choosing to Smile. Houlker refused to let cancer slow her down. She continued to travel the world, explore B.C., and compete on a cancer survivor’s dragon boating team. She continued to go on getaway weekends with her “soul sisters,” and to plan romantic outings with her husband Graham, and to shop and bake with her beloved granddaughter Abbygail. She also inspired the world over with Choosing to Smile, a triple autobiography written by Houlker, Rickaby and Glenda Standeven – all friends, all cancer survivors. “She left a footprint on everyone’s heart,” said Standeven.

(the funding formula) is equitable to everyone.” She said the FVRD review may include benefits the Abbotsford Chamber did not consider, like the regional role played in the protection of air quality, transportation improvements and treaty talks. “That’s the whole idea of the regional district, to do things together that you couldn’t do separately,” she said. “I think Abbotsford has really benefitted - and we have benefitted from having Abbotsford at the (FVRD) board,” she added.

“Anyone that knew her is feeling this loss,” added Rickaby. “And now so many people who know of her story but never had a chance to meet her, they’re also really feeling this loss too.” On the Choosing to Smile Facebook page, which has 4,192 friends, comments have poured in. “She was a brave one. One of the good ones. I will remember her as being courageous.” “I regret not having the pleasure of meeting her, but she will always be with us in spirit.” “Our hearts are heavy with this loss, but we are so grateful for our time with her. Short as it was,

the impact is everlasting.” Rickaby, also a dragon boater, remembered her friend’s gusto in the boat. For a woman who was “five foot nothing” in height, when she pounded down on the drum and commanded her paddlers, they listened. “She was a small package, but when she gave the calls, you heard her clearly and you responded,” said Rickaby. Fellow dragon boater Allison Bradley said her favourite memory of Julie was at the Penticton Dragon Boat Festival held in September. “She was so full of energy and encouragement that we moved mountains

that weekend just for her,” said Bradley. “She exclaimed at one point after a particularly great race, ‘This is so much better than any medicine ever!’” Two months later, however, Houlker stopped treatments and checked

into Chilliwack Hospice. She had spent more than a year in the ring with chemotherapy, had suffered repeated fevers and toxic infections, had no appetite, no energy. Her body was shutting down. Continued: HOULKER/ p12

Chilliwack is moving to quell aggressive panhandling on cityowned property with a new bylaw amendment. City council voted Monday to amend its Traffic and Highways bylaw with that goal in mind. “It was fairly outdated so we added some definitions, like what panhandling is and locations where this activity is not permitted,” said Coun. Chuck Stam, who is also chair of the public safety advisory committee. The recommendation was to seek a way for enforcement officers to address panhandling, especially on highway medians, because asking them to move along wasn’t working. “The idea is basically to provide police and bylaw enforcement with the tools to do a better job of controlling the panhandling in our city. “I think we’ve done that with these new definitions and the greater clarity this offers,” Stam said. At this point the proposed fines are still being reviewed, and will be presented separately to council, so it’s not yet known what the ticket amount might be for panhandling. Residents had complained to the city about people begging for change, and panhandlers approaching people in mall parking lots or from atop highway medians. “Panhandlers were operating in some fairly unsafe conditions and in high traffic,” Stam stressed.

Valley, commented on the issue following Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement of new charges against several UN Gang members. These charges, and numerous prior counts, have spelled the downfall of the Red Scorpions (RS) and UN, with several high-profile members now behind bars. This has left a gap in the drug trade that others are scrambling to fill, but Plecas said he is confident the public will not see the same level of violence as in 2009. That year, gunfire erupted throughout the Lower Mainland and several murders were recorded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 in Abbotsford alone, with eight being linked to drugs or organized crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be no chance that it will ever get back to where it was,â&#x20AC;? Plecas said. Police launched a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very focused assaultâ&#x20AC;? on gang members, and have continued to develop strategies to combat the problem, he said. In Abbotsford, this included the formation of the gang suppression task force in April 2010. As well, the new groups forming do not have tight allegiances. Gone are the days when brotherhood and loyalty were the cornerstones of gang membership. Plecas said police now have no shortage of informants waiting to rat out their buddies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (police) box these guys into a corner. They box one in, and they all start falling like dominoes,â&#x20AC;? Plecas said. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald concurred, referencing gangs such as the Duhre Group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said to be the current dominant gang

UFV criminology expert Daryl Plecas says the days of dominant gangs like the UN Gang and Red Scorpions are over.

in Abbotsford. While many members of the Scorpions and UN had long-standing histories together, the new groups consist of just about anyone who is willing to do the work. And their allegiance is not necessarily longlasting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How loyal can you expect your group to be when you will work for any master if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money to be made?â&#x20AC;? MacDonald said. He said this has created a challenge for police, as they try to determine whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aligning with whom. He said it appears that many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including former Scorpion and UN members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; appear to be biding their time, waiting to see whose roster they want to join. The Abbotsford Police attracted much attention last year for the formation of its â&#x20AC;&#x153;top 10 gangsterâ&#x20AC;? list, which they soon expanded to 25. As more names came to their attention, police were astonished to see the list tally 180 individuals.

These are people who are â&#x20AC;&#x153;plying their tradeâ&#x20AC;? in the community, whether they reside in Abbotsford or elsewhere. Some have involvement with gangs such as the Duhre Group, the Empire Gang and the Independent Soldiers, but most have a question mark beside their name, MacDonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know what their last allegiance was ... but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where it is right now.â&#x20AC;? He said this uncertainty makes the state of gangs in the community unpredictable, with no guarantees of what the future holds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the mistakes weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made in the past is underestimating how much money could be made in the drug trade ... The last thing we want to do is fall victim to that again.â&#x20AC;? Sgt. Shinder Kirk, spokesperson for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, said the gang situation in Abbotsford is similar to what is happening throughout the province.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still somewhat very dynamic and fluid .... They form and split apart on a frequent basis.â&#x20AC;? He said it is estimated that about 130 â&#x20AC;&#x153;readily identifiable criminal cooperativesâ&#x20AC;? exist across the province, but the number of gang associates is more difficult to measure. Kirk said the Lower Mainland is not likely to see the same level of violence that occurred in 2009. On Monday, the regional Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced charges against several UN Gang members, including two for the February 2009 murder of Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford, who was killed in a hail of gunfire outside a Walnut Grove IGA grocery store. Charged with his murder are Conor Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Monte, 33, described as the current leader of the UN Gang, and Cory â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankieâ&#x20AC;? Vallee, 32. Both men are still at large and are wanted on Canadawide warrants. The two are also charged with conspiracy to murder the Bacon brothers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jamie, Jarrod and Jonathon of Abbotsford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and their associates from the rival Red Scorpions gang. Seven others also fall under the conspiracy charges, and were already in prison. They are: Barzan Tilli-Choli, Dan Russell, Dilun Heng, Karwan Saed, Jon Croitoru, Yong Lee and Soroush Ansari. IHIT announced that six of those men, along with Vallee, have now been charged with the first-degree murder of Jonathan Barber of Langley, who was killed in May 2008 while driving a Porsche in Burnaby. He was taking the vehicle to have some electronics installed. At Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press conference, Barber was described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;complete innocent just doing his job,â&#x20AC;? who had no idea he was working on a vehicle linked to the Bacons. Shots were also fired at his girlfriend, Vicky King, who was following Barber in a separate vehicle. Charged with the first-degree murder of Barber and the attempted murder of King are: Tilli-Choli, Russell, Heng, Saed, Kroitoru, Lee and Vallee. Aram Ali was previously charged with the attempted murder of Bacon associate Fraser Sutherland, as was TilliCholi.

Gang link sparks police interest at service Robert Freeman The Progress A memorial service in Chilliwack for a man with links to the drug world was scrutinized by local police and members of the RCMP’s Integrated Gang Task Force last Saturday. “We were there and so were members of the gang task force,” Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop confirmed Monday. Although gang activity appears to have declined in the Lower Mainland following a number of arrests, including the conviction of UN Gang leader Clayton Roueche in a U.S. court, RCMP Sgt. Shinder Kirk said police investigators remain “vigilant.” “There’s always something going on in the organized crime world,” said Kirk, spokesman for the integrated task force. “By no means are we letting our guard down.” The memorial service for Nick Kocoski, 25, held at a Chilliwack hotel, is not the first to draw police attention. A March, 2005 funeral attended by Chilliwack-raised Roueche and by other UN Gang members was also watched by police investigating alleged gang activity. A five-

foot tall black granite monument emblazoned with the UN crest and Chinese characters that read “Warrior of United Nations” marks the gravesite of two purported gang members. Guests at a birthday party in June, 2008, for Clayton Eheler, who was the target of two drive-by shooting attempts in Chilliwack, were stopped and screened by police. Kocoski, who reportedly died of a drug overdose, was implicated by police investigators in crossborder drug smuggling after he was arrested in September, 2006 near Rimrock, Wash. with another man, Joshua Hildebrandt, flying a Piper Cherokee airplane rented in Chilliwack. No drugs were found in the airplane, but Kocoski later pleaded guilty to entering the U.S. illegally. Chilliwack realtor Michael Gordon, who was shot to death in August, 2008, reportedly crossed the border to help bail Kocoski out of custody. Gordon was also allegedly close to Roueche, who attended highschool in Chilliwack. Roueche is now ser ving 30 years in jail after pleading guilty in December, 2009, to charges of drug smuggling and money laundering.

R AESIDE

When Marshall McLuhan first identified in the 1960s the possibility of a post-literate society in which a visual, individualistic print culture would be usurped by the aural and oral culture of electronic media, the Internet, high definition television and XBox weren’t even a gleam in futurists’ eyes. Now, some observers say that possibility is a reality. Kids spend countless hours honing their reflexes on video games. Watching HDTV is almost as good as being there. And we all spend way too much time surfing the web. Meantime, newspapers and magazines are struggling for readers. Books gather dust on shelves. But even this so-called post-literate society requires a great deal of literacy. There are labels, instructions and guides to be read. And all those little symbols on your computer screen? They’re called words. Even websites like YouTube are choc-a-bloc with them. Not to mention email and text messages. That’s why Thursday’s Family Literacy Day was so important. If anything, our wired-up, plugged-in multimedia post-literate world has made literacy essential. Yet according to Statistics Canada approximately nine million Canadian adults struggle with poor literacy skills. Imagine being unable to read the instructions on the screen at the bank machine or gas pump. Imagine not understanding what’s printed on a cereal box, bottle of medicine, DVD case, shop sign or restaurant menu. In fact, we do so much reading in our daily lives, it’s easy to take literacy for granted. But none of us were born literate. We had to work at it. Ideally, we started that work early, when it seemed more like play, or sharing quality time with parents or siblings as they read stories to us, maybe even taught us some of the words so we could read along. Literacy is a gift that needs to be shared. Be sure to pass it on. Black Press

NDP’s problems in B.C. go much deeper VICTORIA – As the minutes ticked down to last week’s deadline for NDP leadership candidates to sell memberships, the Adrian Dix campaign brought in stacks of memberships and bags of money, which was then divvied up and attached to memberships. Rival candidates Harry Lali and Mike Farnworth cried foul, but the party brass quickly decided the strict rules they imposed were just guidelines, and they’ll accept the memberships. So Dix is now the front-runner, assuming these thousands of suddenly inspired members from Vancouver’s South Asian and Filipino communities translate into votes for him on April 17. As stinky as all this is, it’s not the NDP’s biggest problem. Dix’s remarks in launching his campaign point to another one. He chose a theme of wealth redistribution.

The Chilliwack

Progress

“Analysis from all over the developed world demonstrates that the polarization of wealth and power, and the growth of poverty, have very significant financial and social costs imposed on our children and our communities by the growing divide in our society,” he said. Dix didn’t indicate how he intends to correct this “morTom ally wrong” situaFLETCHER tion where some people have lots of money and others don’t. But another political controversy in Vancouver offers a clue. B.C. Liberal MLA Kash Heed is being investigated by the RCMP over campaign leaflets distributed to the Chinese community in Vancouver-Fraserview in 2009. The problem wasn’t the content,

but rather the anonymous nature of the brochures and the way they were paid for. One leaflet claimed the NDP supports a “death tax” on inheritance. This would be one way to realize Dix’s dream of government-imposed financial equality, although it’s not one espoused recently by candidates. But if you look up the B.C. NDP constitution, you’ll find it starts by declaring loyalty to “democratic socialist principles,” which are defined as follows: “a) the production and distribution of goods and services shall be directed to meeting the social and individual needs of people and not for profit, b) the modification and control of the operations of monopolistic productive and distributive organizations through economic and social planning towards these ends, and c) where necessary, the extension of the principle of social

ownership.” Now this is watered down from the old NDP philosophy, which talked specifically about nationalizing banks and major industries. But there remains a definite whiff of Cuba and Venezuela, where the state seized the means of production from private owners and ran it into the ground. Dix and leadership rival John Horgan both worked for the NDP governments of the 1990s. Horgan describes what he calls a “capital strike” that hit B.C. after the NDP was elected. His terminology hints at a conspiracy of capitalists to pull investment from B.C., to punish the NDP. To Horgan I would reply that this is an understandable reaction by investors to a party that remains explicitly opposed to profit. To Dix, I would say I look forward to details of this analysis of the terrible effects of income

inequality in the developed world. My understanding is that if it weren’t for private capital, competition and rewards for efficiency and innovation, there wouldn’t be much of a developed world to analyze. The root of the recent turmoil in the NDP has been described as a lack of policies. That’s not accurate. Judging by the party’s foundation document, the problem is policies so discredited they can’t mention them. Actually there is a modern policy that equalizes wealth by supporting the poor and placing more of the burden on those most able to pay, while encouraging investment. It’s called the harmonized sales tax. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

EXPANDING IN 2011 TO SERVE YOU BETTER!

We need an earthquake plan Thank-you, for putting out the word about the practice for The Big One, here on the coast in the Jan.20th edition of The Chilliwack Progress (Earthquake drill fails to register in Chilliwack). Actually, as a retired teacher who worked at a Chilliwack elementary school a few years ago, I remember the awesome preparedness program the PAC parents of that school at that time set up of ; program and supplies for when the event happens. Seems like lots of people participated in the Lower Mainland

in this event today to practice for a future catastrophe. Of the 460,000 people registering on the “shakeoutbc.ca” site there were 19,769 which were from the Fraser Valley. Some seemed to think that there should be more than just ducking under a desk or table. To be sure, I agree, but raising a collective conscience has to start somewhere, So Chilliwack ...let’s get organized and practice so we won’t have total panic and chaos when there is quake and tsunami coming our way.

It seems to me that a beginning plan is better than no idea... at all! So I for one want to help my community get ready for the next “practice” if the real thing doesn’t sneak up on us in the meantime. Chilliwackians need to give their heads a shake; retirees, busy parents that are away from their kids during the daytime and daycare and schools who are the surrogate caregivers during that time. We need a plan and we all need to practice it, now! Wendy Major

Gravel pit can’t be what’s wanted “We’re doing what government wants industry to do.” (Gravel pit exceeded permit, Chilliwack Progress, Jan. 21) Mr. Kirkness’ most recent public statement about his proposed gravel mining license amendment rings hollow here in Yarrow. For government officials to even deem his proposition worth reading is making me shake my head in wonder. He wants to create a nineacre horizontal zone from almost-vertical

cliffs, mere feet from a secondary provincial highway, on a property already labeled as a dangerous offender for past slide activity, to facilitate moving gravel from an existing pit by tunnel and conveyor belt – all in the name of reducing carbon emissions. Perhaps we should start making our property tax cheques payable to “La La Land”. I recognize that mining is a sacred cow here in BC, that gravel is an integral ingredient for road and other con-

struction (read: development) but does a pristine mountain, home to at least three endangered species, need to be utterly defaced, right beside a popular tourist route? Government is supposed to be the guardian of ecology, public safety, the province’s natural beauty and the tourism that results from it. What about the farms and other businesses operating in the vicinity? Are these attributes less sacred than a gravel mine? The existing pit is

already clearly visible from the Evans Road roundabout which it helped build. I wonder how residents of the lovely new homes at Webster’s Landing are going to enjoy their view with a monster “Z” inscribed on the north face of Vedder Mountain by the proposed conveyor system. Please tell me this is not the kind of thing our three levels of government expect industry to do.

expect a rezoning sign first, as a forewarning. What is a Health Contact Centre and what does it do? The article advises project proponents are trying to establish a contact centre for the city’s homeless and addicted. The article further provides an unnamed quote that the centre could house up to 34 people (Is this the count for when the project was first being planned years ago? What happens to the other 66 permanent homeless and 200 partially homeless?). Housing the addicted or homeless smacks of a Transition House rather than a Health Contact Centre.

result I hope the City is prepared to do more than what was done for the Reece/Mellard residents which basically worked out to nothing. What kind of rezoning is required for such a Centre? Does the subject removal include rezoning of the property? Because if it doesn’t it would seem butt backwards to buy the property first, unless the City has already agreed to fast track and approve the rezoning. Once all that is done the process of identifying funding for renovations and operating funds will begin. Again shouldn’t that have been done prior to the costly purchase of property?

Contact centre proposal prompts questions The article in the Jan. 25 Progress (Rezoning for Contact Centre in March?) gave rise to more questions than it answered. It is to be commended that plans are in motion to assist the needs of the homeless and addicted but does it need to be done under a veil? If an “accepted” offer (with subject conditions to be removed) has been made to purchase a property for a Health Contact Centre in Chilliwack why not reveal the location rather than vaguely stating it will be “near downtown”? Or will some Chilliwack residents be taken by surprise and dismay, like the residents of Reece and Mellard when the City put up a sewer pump station? In this new instance, residents can at least

Chilliwack Chamber President Jason Lum said the FVRD funding issue has been discussed indirectly by chamber members here, but no “concrete conclusions” have been reached and “certainly no position like Abbotsford’s.” But Chilliwack businesses are concerned that tax dollars - collected at any level of government - are being spent “efficiently,” he said. “We want to make sure those tax dollars are being used efficiently, and for the benefit of all people,” he said. “We don’t want to see a disproportionate amount spent on studies that will collect dust on the shelf,” he added. “We want to see the money being used to fund actionable items.” Chilliwack Coun., Chuck Stam, who is also vice-chairman of the FVRD board, said he believes most FVRD members will be pleased with the final plan, which will include cost-saving measures like cutting the number of committees to avoid duplication of services. He said the review recognizes that regional governments “must change or become irrelevant” and that the FVRD must deal with the same recessionary pressures faced by businesses. “The government is just a little slower,” he said. “They cannot just grow eternally and never have to make cuts.” He said Chilliwack councillors also want to ensure taxpayers here are getting good value for their money “but having said that, Chilliwack has never had a discussion ... that we would remove ourselves from the regional district.” From Peary’s view, that only makes sense as it was Chilliwack that asked Abbotsford to join the new regional district to ease the costs it was paying as the largest municipality in

the old Fraser Cheam Regional District. “It was politically an astute move on the part of (then-mayor) John Les,” he said. Peary said he was one of the architects of the FVRD formed 16 years ago by the merger of several regional districts in the Fraser Valley. He said Abbotsford once formed the nucleus of the Central Fraser Valley Regional District after Langley and Langley Township left to join the Greater Vancouver Regional District. And since Abbotsford is already providing sewer, water, recycling and transit services to neighboring Mission, he suggested the city is large enough to persuade provincial authorities to allow it to form it’s own regional district government. “In some ways, it’s back to the future for Abbotsford,” he said.

News Parents want protection for bussed kids Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack River Valley residents want their children protected from flying rocks when waiting for the school bus. But no one seems to know whose responsibility it is to build bus shelters. School trustee John Henry Harter presented a motion at Tuesday night’s board meeting asking district officials to look into the viability of building bus shelters. The Chilliwack River Valley has 119 kids bused

to and from school and 27 bus stops. Most are unprotected standing “within a foot” of the road. With the new gravel pit and increased truck traffic, residents are fearing for their children’s safety. “There’s considerable danger of debris and rocks coming off the trucks,” said Glen Thompson of Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley. “And in the winter, it’s pitch black. They wouldn’t even have a chance to see the thing coming.” However, at the school

board meeting, some trustees didn’t feel it was the school district’s responsibility. “I have difficulty supporting this [motion] in terms of taking up staff time,” said trustee Silvia Dyck. “I am concerned with the issue of funding bus shelters for one specific area when we are currently asking parents to pay for their children’s busing. “By all means lets talk to the [regional district] about it if students are in distress ... but I am not interested in funding bus shelters at this time,” said Dyck. But David Lamson, electoral area director, believes bus shelters to be the school district’s responsibility. In electoral areas, the regional district can only provide a service with taxpayer approval and taxpayer dollars. “If a group of parents want that service, they could certainly approach

us,” said Lamson. “But I’m not sure the regional district would be the one to take that on. They could do that through the school board I would think.” Thompson is frustrated with the back and forth and nothing getting done. “One day I’m going to hear one of these kids getting hit in the head by a rock and the other kids screaming,” said Thompson, who doesn’t have children, but whose house is near one of the bus stops. “Where are these school board and regional district people? They should be doing something.” Thompson suggested officials lobby the mining company to help pay for the bus shelters, or request the mines open an hour later after the school kids have already been picked up. The school district is looking into its options.

‘Donald Duck’ imitator worries daycare operator An older man offering to do his “Donald Duck voice” for kids has raised the suspicion of a Chilliwack daycare operator. “He might have been harmless,” Natasha Lundgren said, but she wanted to alert other daycare operators about the strange incident. She said the “older gentle-

man” looking a bit like the bearded captain in a wellknown fish sticks commercial showed up at her home daycare on Reece Avenue at about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday. “He said he wanted to do his Donald Duck voice for the kids,” she said, but he promptly left the daycare when two adults arrived. She said another daycare operator in the area reported the same strange behaviour.

School district draws down surplus to balance budget Katie Bartel The Progress The Chilliwack school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010-11

budget has undergone several changes since the preliminary budget was first approved last spring. The final budget

passed at Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board meeting had fewer students, more teachers, more educational assistants, more revenues and

more expenses than initially projected. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue was $2.1 million more than was projected, but the expenses were

$3.5 million more than expected. As a result, an extra $1.3 million was taken out of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surplus account to cover the added expenses.

THE SMART RESOLUTIONS ARE THE EASY ONES TO KEEP.

It was estimated the Chilliwack school district would have 13,166 total students enrolled this year, an increase of 102 students from last year. But instead, it had 13,102 students, 64 fewer than it had projected. However, the district did not lose funds in per pupil funding as would be expected, but rather gained funds. The Ministr y of Education doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distribute all of the perpupil funding at once, it holds back a portion of the grant until final numbers are submitted. And because school districts across the province over estimated projections for enrollment this year, the ministry had extra per-pupil funding to give. In Chilliwack, that meant $1.1 million more was granted to the district, about $88 extra per student. But June Murphy, director of finance, warned trustees that

it was one-time money only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The ministr y] hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increased the actual per pupil rate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a one-time hold back amount,â&#x20AC;? said Murphy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may not be there next year.â&#x20AC;? The preliminary budget also showed a cut of 16.2 educational assistants, but because enrollment for special needs students increased by 21 students, 20.7 additional educational assistants were required. As a result, the district actually employed 4.5 more educational assistants than it had in the 2009-10 school year. The district had also planned to cute the teaching staff by 20 teachers, but ended up reducing the cuts to 13.3 to accommodate class size and composition regulations. The final budget came in at $108.8 million, a difference of $3.5 million from the preliminary budget. kbartel@theprogress.com

Celebration planned for Julie Houlker HOULKER from p3 It was time to focus on the quality of life,â&#x20AC;? she told The Progress in December. She made a list of things she wanted to do: She wanted to see another birthday, see another Christmas, go to her granddaughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas concert, have another Survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dinner, celebrate another wedding anniversary, see her book make it to the Canadian best sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list. She did all but the last two. Her 35th wedding anniversary is in February, and Choosing to Smile has sold approximately 2,500 books, halfway to the 5,000 needed to make the best sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list. Her friends are continuing the dream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to fulfill her bucket list,â&#x20AC;? said Standeven. A celebration of life service for Houlker is being held on Saturday, Feb. 5 at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Jessica Peters The Observer After several months of hard labour, many more months of hotly-debated planning, and countless years of wishing and hoping, the Memorial Hall has received a much-needed overhaul. And on Saturday night, the first of many concerts in the revamped venue went off without a hitch. The Russell Jackson Blues Band played a nearlythree-hour show, with a short intermission. Before the show, and during the break, the audience got an up close look at the renovations, which included new trusses, a new roof and new ceiling, along with new, larger windows, fresh drywall and paint, new bathrooms and updated kitchen area. The original renovation budget was $700,000, with $400,000 of that money coming from a provincial ‘Towns for Tomorrow’

grant. The Village had to contribute a minimum of $100,000, or 20 per cent of the TFT grant, said Mayor Ken Becotte. An additional $200,000 was provided from the Resort Municipality Initiative program, which are a percentage of hotel room taxes transferred to the Village from the province. Becotte said council also approved an additional $25,000 to landscape the property and install an acoustical ceiling above the stage, items which were not part of the original project. The exterior paint will be completed in the spring. If you missed the concert, there is still a chance to get a close up look at the new hall.

Thirteen highly-respected adjudicators will evaluate the performances. Anyone interested in assisting with the event by volunteering is asked to call 604-819-0322.

LAST MEETING The Bruins recorded a 3-2 overtime win Friday night at the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops. Ryan Howse and Mitch Topping had regulation time goals, and Brandon Manning picked up the winner 21 seconds into the extra session. Lucas Gore stopped 34 shots for the win.

Gamble. The Winter Hawks welcomed Gamble to the game at 17:17 with another goal by Leipsic. Kevin Sundher scored a late power play goal off a nifty behind-the-net feed from Roman Horak, but Chilliwack faced a mountainous deficit heading to period two. The deficit ballooned to 6-1 by the mid-point of the middle frame. Cunningham set up Rattie for his 21st of the season at 5:49, and Bartschi went five-hole

on Gamble for his 26th of the season at 10:58. Habscheid rarely singles out any players for direct criticism, but Gore and Gamble were in his cross-hairs after the loss. “There were five of them (goals) that should never have went in, and it just snowballed from there,” he said. “Forwards and defencemen can have off nights, and sometimes it isn’t noticed. When a goalie has a tough night, it shows on the scoreboard.” When Cunningham

banked a puck off Gamble and in from behind the net at 12:06, Habscheid yanked the 19-year-old and put Gore back in net. “Braden was really struggling, and we basically had no choice,” Habscheid said of the second switch. The Winter Hawks added an eighth 27 seconds into period three, with Taylor Peters pulling the trigger on his seventh of the year. Then, 30 seconds after Sundher had the puck roll off his stick on a shorthanded break-

away, Portland’s Nino Niederreiter camped in front of the Chilliwack net to punch his 21st of the year past Gore. Soudek scored his 14th of the year on a power play at 11:11 to wrap up the scoring. Portland won their sixth in a row, improving to 33-14-0-3. The Bruins dropped to 21-22-2-2 heading into a Friday night game in Spokane. The Bruins host Kamloops on Saturday.

Howse hurdles Santorelli We were all 100 per cent sure thatt Howse was going to put up some very good numbers at the WHL level, writes Jacob Bestebroer Who is the best offensive player in Chilliwack Bruins franchise history? No one would have a better idea than Bruins radio colour man and resident stats-master JJacob acob Bestebroer, who discusses the matter in this week’s column. When Ryan Howse became the Bruins all-time point leader by moving past Mark Santorelli with his 184th career point last Friday, I remembered a conversation I had four years ago. We were a few months into the Bruins inaugural season of 2006-07 and Bruins forwards Oscar Moller and Santorelli were jjust ust starting to show that they were going to be elite scorers at the Western Hockey League level. I was watching practice with three members of the Bruins hockey staff and put out the question, “Who do you think will be the Bruins all-time points leader after five seasons?” There were really only three possible choices at that time. The T he aforementioned Moller and Santorelli, along with Ryan Howse. Keep in mind that Howse had yet to play

a regular season game for the Bruins. He had looked good through training camp and exhibition games and it was obvious he had the ability to put up some good offensive numbers. None of us were very confident in our guesses and of course three years later we would all be surprised to see Oscar in the National Hockey League instead of with the Bruins at 19 years of age. But we all knew, we were all 100 per cent sure that Howse was going to put up some very good numbers at the WHL level. So let’s update the question to who do you think will be the Bruins all-time leader in points after 10 seasons? Will it still be Howse? As of right now Kevin Sundher trails Howse by roughly 40 points, so you would think with one more injury free season in a Bruins uniform, Sundher should pass him. That is, of course, assuming that Howse moves on to pro hockey next year. Or is it one of the two 16-year-old forwards on the team right now, Steven Hodges or Brandon Magee? Should we throw

Luke Harrison, the Bruins third round selection in the 2010 bantam draft into the discussion? Tough call. I will predict one thing. After 10 seasons, I think Howse will still be the Bruins careerr leader in goals. He has 121 rightt now, with another 25 games left this season to add to that total.

Soccer Strikers stifle Wanderers

Chilliwack’s U-15 Striker girls emerged from a six-week winter hiatus to play a league game against Tswwassen last Sunday, taking on the first place Wanderers. Out to avenge an

box, but a Tswwassen player tipped it away just before Brett Karcioglu could send into home. Chand made another five stops late to send her team into halftime locked in a 0-0 draw. Chilliwack adjusted strategy in the second half, coming out with a conservative 4-4-2 alignment. The Wanderers countered with an aggressive 3-3-4 setup, trying to get the go-ahead goal. Chand made a handful of stellar saves, supported by midfielders Emma Haagensen

and Makayla Pfeifer, and central defenders Rhiannon Dunphy and Kelli Whitehead. Twice, through passes from Sydney Richards and Jade Emond sent strikers Taylor Allan and Emily Finley into the clear. But the speedy Wanderers defense prevented good shots. The game ended as it started, with no goals and both teams feeling the bumps and bruises of battle. It was the first time this season that Tswwassen was held scoreless.

Attack battle belligerent Beasts It was a tougher game than expected, but the Chilliwack U-15 Attack girls (8-1-2) edged the visiting Dunbar Beasts (1-7-3) last Sunday in Chilliwack. Chilliwack’s speedy midfielders and forwards put tremendous pressure on the Dunbar defence, with MacKenzie Graham, Dani Cherniwchan and

Jenna Snow generating great early chances. They were thwarted by an excellent goalkeeper whose efforts kept the Attack off the scoreboard in the first half. The Beasts scored the only goal of the opening half, making a rare run into the Chilliwack end and scoring in the final five minutes.

To start the second half, Attack coach Jamie Steeves moved defender Jodi Brown up front to help with the strong Beast defenders. The move paid off at the 15 minute mark when a Kristy Ricard cross found the foot of Bettina Rillera, who slid the ball pass the Beast keeper to knot the score at 1-1.

The Attack kept pressing and netted the winner 10 minutes later. A through ball made its way to the dangerous Megan Kelly, who hammered the ball into the Beast goal. Dunbar tried to counter, but Chilliwack keeper Jenae Hidlebrandt held the fort. With the win, her team stays atop the league standings.

early season loss, the locals found themselves under fire early. The Wanderers peppered the net with shots through the first 16 minutes. Chilliwack keeper Samantha Chand lunged, dove and tipped away eight quality chances to keep the game scoreless. The Strikers found their legs soon after, and were able to mount some dangerous attacks of their own. Haley Mainse’s free kick from just outside the 18 was perfectly placed into the six yard

PAC-tastic performance The single largest oneday event at Heritage Park was hosted by Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Allstar Cheerleading Club Jan. 15. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Allstar Cheerleading 2011 Cheer Championship was a great success, drawing 100 teams and 1,300 athletes from the Fraser Valley and Washington State. Many volunteers donated countless hours to make it happen, and support was excellent

from the 2,000 spectators who came through the doors. The success was magnified by PACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance, with the senior division Phenoms finishing second and the youth division Phoenix third. The mini-Pixies had their best finish to date and all three teams will be looking to continue building on their success at Cheerfest in Abbotsford on Feb 5. The competition

schedule continues Feb. 12 with the Western Invitational in Ferndale, WA. Peter Parrotta is the head coach and owner of Pacific Allstar Cheerleading. Parrotta is one of the highest qualified and experienced coaches in the sport. In addition to operating and coaching Pacific Allstar Cheerleading, he is also an associate choreographer for CW TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest hit

Hellcats, which was recently nominated for a Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Award. Get more info on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, found online at www.pacificallstarcheerleading.com. â&#x2014;? In the Jan. 21 Progress sports section, a story titled Cheers for cheerleaders was incorrect on the host club and venue for the Pacific Allstar Cheerleading Championship. We regret the error.

SHINGLER Wesley George

(Feb 7, 1931 - Jan. 24, 2011) Born at home in Columbia Valley, BC on the family farm to Nick and Nellie Shingler, the SHINGLER youngest son, along with his twin brother, Les, of 12 children. He passed away at Crystal Ridge Manor, Chilliwack, BC, after having been diagnosed with congestive heart failure three years ago. Having been childhood sweethearts, Wes married

Mary Catherine (Kay) Boyd in 1950. Their homebase was always Columbia Valley, where they raised three daughters. Dad worked as a milk-truck driver, a truck driver in the mining industry and drove dump trucks for Knight Gravel in Surrey, BC. Driving trucks took Wes and his family throughout many parts of BC, through Bra Lorne, Minot, Lillie and Quenelle. Later he had been a Mill Wright for Loewen Cedar Products on Chilliwack Lake Rd. and retired as a bus driver/mechanic for Chilliwack School District # 33. He always kept order on the school bus by rewarding the quietest kids with Juicy Fruit gum and chocolate bars. Dad always worked two jobs: one off the property during the day and then coming home to raise chickens, pigs, beef, milking cows and haying every summer. Huge vegetable gardens, getting in cords of split wood for winter kept him busy during his “down” time. Dad worked extremely hard but had a great sense of humour, especially if it was a good Polish joke. He was self-taught on the accordion and he and Mum, who played the guitar, and sang, were the entertainment for many house parties and dances in Columbia Valley. Country and Western music was a main staple in the Shingler home. Dad and Mom moved to Sardis 10 years ago where he lost the love of his life, Mom, and missed her every single moment of every day. To mourn his passing, he leaves behind three daughters: Debbie Loewen of Sardis, Dixie (Jim) Hay, Sardis, and Janet (Ted) Young of Cawston, BC; six grandchildren: Matthew (Tanya) Loewen, Spokane, WA, Dana (Carla) Anderson, Sardis, Jaimie (Ryan) Loewen, Calgary, AB, Kami (Dan) Edwards, Sardis, BC Mike (Arielle) Taekema, Sardis, BC and Emily Taekema, Sardis; great-grandchildren: Jordan Loewen, Jaeden and Kennedy Edwards, Ruby Ratcliffe with #5 expected in early March. He is also survived by his twin brother, Les Shingler, Cawston, BC, and sister, Lorraine (Renee) Teschke of Columbia Valley, BC as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Thank you to his church family, wonderful neighbours and friends who were so kind to him over the years. Funeral Services will be held at 1:30 pm on Friday, January 28, 2011 at Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church, 45187 Wells Rd. Sardis. Interment to follow at 4:00 pm at VedderView Gardens Cemetery, Watson Rd. Sardis. In lieu of ﬂowers, memorial donations in Wes’ name may be made to The BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, 4480 Oak Street B321, Vancouver BC V6H 3V4

SMITH Sarah

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Sarah Smith passed away on January 20, SMITH 2011 at Cascade Lodge in Chilliwack at age 84. Sarah suffered a serious stroke in October 2006. Throughout it all, she maintained her stubborn optimism and instinct to ﬁght. She taught us all a great many lessons just by being herself. Sarah was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her daughter Debbie, son-inlaw Ron Angell of Chilliwack and her son Ken of London, Ontario. She was predeceased by her husband Cliff in 2008. Sarah was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on September 7, 1926. She met Cliff Smith, the love of her life at the conclusion of WWII. In February 1947 she immigrated to Canada to marry Cliff. They lived in Montreal until Cliff’s retirement when they moved to Kamloops to be near Deb and Ron. They moved to Chilliwack in 2006 when poor health forced them to leave their home. Motherhood was the biggest joy in Sarah’s life. She loved her home, camping, traveling, entertaining, singing, whistling, and dancing. She was an avid sewer, knitter and she enjoyed crafts of all sorts. Sarah’s hands were never still. Sarah always gave generously of herself and her possessions. She looked after the needs of others long before her own. Sarah was a loving and devoted friend, a special lady who endeared herself to everyone she came in contact with. Her loss will be felt far beyond her family by her many friends. We are so grateful to have shared our lives with Sarah. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Paul Basson who cared for and supported our Mum for the past four years. We are also deeply grateful to the staff at the Cascade Lodge for the love, care and respect shown to Sarah over the past four years.
