Grow-op found at site of home invasion

■ F IELD T RIP

Senior shot, stabbed Robert Freeman The Progress A small marijuana-grow may be the reason behind the home invasion on Fifth Avenue in Chilliwack this week that left a 72-year-old man with gun and knife wounds. But police say it’s not proof conclusive that marijuana was the motive behind the attack. RCMP Cpl.Lea-Anne Dunlop confirmed a “small grow-op” was “cleverly concealed” in the house, but police are not releasing details of how the marijuana was hidden or the discovery made. “Obviously, we were in the house since 6 p.m. (Tuesday), but it wasn’t found until late (Wednesday),” she said, during a “methodical search of the property.” “It takes days sometimes to complete that (search),” she said. At this stage of the investigation, police see the marijuana-grow as just another possible motive for the home invasion, which they believe was not a random act. The senior was last reported in stable condition in hospital. Police are asking for public help in solving the crime. Police were called to the home in the 46000-block 5th Avenue at about 6 p.m. Tuesday. Police said a man had knocked on the senior’s door, pulled out a gun, and a struggle began, during which the victim was shot and stabbed. Few details of the attack are being released, including a description of the suspect and the extent of the victim’s wounds, in hopes of generating fresh information from public tips. Anyone with information about the incident or the suspect is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Anonymous tips can be made online at www.chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca

Sanborn court date not until 2012 Lead time necessary to find four-week block of court time, says justice official Robert Freeman The Progress The breach of trust case against former city employee Grant Sanborn goes to trial before a provincial court judge in February – of 2012. A spokesman for the criminal justice branch said the trial is not set until then because a “significant amount of court time” was required.

Four weeks have been set aside for the trial, now scheduled to start on Feb.6, 2012. But the spokesman would not discuss other possible reasons for needing such a large block of court time - such as the number of witnesses the Crown might call - because those details are in the hands of special prosecutor Robin McFee. Sanborn was charged with three counts of breach of trust

by a public officer in June, 2010 after McFee completed a three-year investigation into allegations of improper landuse decisions in Chilliwack. The special prosecutor was appointed because the allegations included a politician, Chilliwack MLA John Les, who was then the province’s Solicitor General. Les stepped down as Solicitor General when he learned of the investigation,

but McFee found no evidence Les made improper land deals during his tenure as Chilliwack mayor from 1987 to 1999. However, McFee said he did find evidence to allege three counts of breach of trust against Sanborn. Sanborn had resigned as the city’s planning director in June, 2000 to become a private sector development consultant. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Valley politicians fuming over incinerator listing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Just the appearance of Metro Vancouver’s $500-million incinerator on a finance ministry budget list was enough to raise the hackles of Chilliwack council and Fraser Valley Regional District officials this week. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, who is also an FVRD director, expressed her dismay to see the incinerator included, particularly as a “clean energy” project, when their research indicates otherwise. Coun. Chuck Stam, who is also FVRD vice chair, said he found it “disheartening,” initially, as it

seemed to lend the project some degree of legitimacy. “When they put something that large on the budget sheet, it seems to send a strong statement. It didn’t belong there, and $500 million is a huge chunk of change.” Local government officials have been fighting the Metro Vancouver incinerator proposal since its inception because of potential air pollution impacts on the valley’s fragile airshed. Council voted Monday to write a letter to ministry officials seeking clarification, and expressing council’s disappointment. Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner said although he felt the inclusion of the incinerator was an “error,” there was “no reason

to panic,” after being assured by Environment minister Murray Coell that “no approval was imminent.” He agreed the “clean energy” designation was a misnomer, and was better suited to describe biomass, bio gas, geothermal, hydro, water, solar, wind or ocean power projects. Chilliwack MLA John Les also tried to tamp down the rhetoric, by underlining the list was a merely an overview report for the finance ministry, completed by a consultant. “I was furious myself when I saw that project on the list, but at the same time I have an understanding of what that list represents, which is everything and anything that’s

been talked about in the entire Province of B.C. “Many projects appearing on this type of list die an unheralded death and never see the light of day,” said Les. “So while I was also angry it was given the appearance of legitimacy, it’s also true that nothing has really changed. There has been no approval of any kind.” FVRD chair Patricia Ross said she was “quite shocked” to see Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy incineration facility listed in the news release. “The way they’ve worded the news release, it sounds like a done deal,” Ross said, although officials had told her just a week ago that a decision on the proposal is still “months away.”

A finance ministry spokesman confirmed with The Progress this week that the incineration facility has not been approved by the environment ministry. But he said it is “absolutely” common practice at the finance ministry to include such proposed projects in the inventory. “It’s really just a registry of what’s out there,” he said, about the list. The $500-million incineration facility is described as a “proposed” project in the news release, along with another proposed $120-million project in Fort St. James. --with files from Robert Freeman

All aboard for Christmas ideas Unruly dogs could earn a ticket

Katie Bartel The Progress Black poinsettias, Dr. Seuss trees, and living reindeer sculptures are just a few of the vibrant plant life you’ll see aboard the Minter Country Gardens Christmas train. The ninth annual Enchanted Garden is for both children and adults, said Brian Minter. For a quarter of a mile, the kids’ eyes will sparkle at the lit up Christmas trees, the tin soldiers and the expansive nativity scene. And for that same quarter of a mile, the adults will be just as mesmerized by the colourful and fragrant winter plant life all around them. “It’s all about giving people ideas, showing them what they can do,” said Minter. Like creating a hanging basket complete with evergreens, pine cones and festive red ribbon, or a porch pot arranged with red stems and red berries and red Christmas ornaments too, or even Christmas trees molded together and pruned into the shape of a reindeer. As Minter toured passed the winter fire, a scarlet and copper coloured plant that looked just like a fire made from sticks, and

the yuletide camellia, a hearty bright red and yellow shrub that thrives through the winter, and the array of multi-coloured winter berries, his excitement grew. He pointed to the peeling bark maple, the contorted willows, the plentiful violas, and his smile grew wider. And as he walked passed the Christmas trees, he stopped. “Smell the fragrances,” he said a little

dreamily. “Isn’t that wonderful? It is very, very Christmas absolutely.” The Enchanted Village is just another way for Minter’s to connect with the community. Not everyone who attends the event will be a gardener, many will be coming just for the lights. But Minter hopes that by seeing the selection of unique festive arrangements put together by the store’s

staff and the wide variety of winter foliage and blooms available to them, they’ll leave with gardening in mind. “Being able to show folks what’s out there and what they can do – that’s the exciting thing about what we do,” he said. “It’s a cold time of year right now, but [winter arrangements] can brighten up the dull days.” So climb aboard the

Christmas train and let your thumb turn green. The train will be chugging along the indoor tracks again this year to combat against nasty weather conditions. It will be operating from Dec. 10 to 24 and then again from Dec. 28 to 31. Tickets are $2 per person per ride. Children three and under are free. The indoor light display is from Dec. 10 to 23 from 5 to 8 p.m.

It started with warnings for out-of-control dogs, but tickets and fines are next. Fraser Valley Regional District Parks staff will acquire the power to issue tickets for aggressive off-leash dogs and garbage dumping come the new year, said Doug Wilson, manager of FVRD Parks. “There have been several warnings in the past week alone,” Wilson said. The new fines for 2011 could range from $100 to $300, for unruly dogs, alcohol, and vandalism related infractions. “The warnings worked well for about a month,” said Wilson, reflecting on the events this past summer. “Then as fall turned to winter it went right back to where it was. We had to look at alternatives.” The move to ticketing is part of an effort that started last spring to bring the Parks bylaw in line with other regional districts in the province, he said, and it was approved at the November FVRD meeting with a new fine schedule to go along with it. Part of the problem stems from the effort at the regional park in cooperation with city officials to provide an off-leash area for area dogs at Island 22. The upshot is that some dog owners are not taking enough care and attention to control their dogs which may be more aggressive, or less socialized than others. Others bring more than three dogs, which is not permitted, or they run dogs behind vehicles along the dike, also not allowed. The truth is that poorly socialized or aggressive dogs are not the best candidates for an off-leash area, Wilson said. It’s become a real issue with people being chased, and dogs being bitten. There has also been an increase in trash dumping. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Review of college of teachers finds union influence Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – A lawyer appointed to review the B.C. College of Teachers found that the influence of the teachers’ union on the disciplinary body is so great, a teacher was given his teaching certificate back several years after being convicted of sexual assaults on students. In another case reviewed by lawyer Donald Avison, the College granted a teaching certificate to a man who had served six years in prison for drug trafficking. In both cases, the College council records show members

“appeared to minimize the severity” of the offences, Avison said in his report to Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “I was astonished by that,” MacDiarmid said Wednesday, adding that only the College knows if those individuals are still teaching. Avison was appointed as a “fact finder” after the provincial appointees to the College complained about the pressure the B.C. Teachers’ Federation put on the organization to put the interest of BCTF members ahead of the public interest. Avison found the College “is not currently regarded as an independent and credible entity” that

can function the way professional bodies regulating doctors and lawyers do. He said it will have to be substantially restructured or replaced entirely with a government-appointed disciplinary body. MacDiarmid said she spoke with BCTF president Susan Lambert on Wednesday, and was assured that the union wants to improve its relationship with the ministry. MacDiarmid is meeting with the BCTF and other education representatives, but she said the report makes it clear the that the status quo cannot continue. Avison’s report notes that BCTF appointees to the College took further control of committees at its

Oct. 4 meeting, which he termed “not an encouraging development.” MacDiarmid said the BCTF will be given choices when she meets with their officials. “If I find that they want only to continue with the current way of doing things, where they actually endorse candidates that go forward to this body, that they actually provide financial contributions, and that they insist that their members meet with highly placed union officials prior to College meetings, if that’s what they want to do going forward, then clearly, we’re done,” MacDiarmid said.

enforce the criminal code, all city officials have at their disposal are zoning bylaw regulations to control where medical marijuana can be produced within its borders. Privacy laws protecting patients mean that no one is permitted to know who is growing it for medicine, or how many pot plants are being produced. “It would be one thing if it were two or three plants,” but she said there is no limit, even though the suggested number was 25. But Gaetz said the city has received reports from citizens who live near suspected medical grow-ops, which creates apprehension, whether it’s a fear of fire, or the risk of attracting the criminal element who might attempt a “grow rip” on a grow-op next door. “So the City of Chilliwack has to weigh into this discussion,” she said. “We would like staff to look at how we should approach it.” Council voted Monday to give city staff a mandate to explore ways to develop a zoning bylaw and to produce a report. Pitt Meadows officials passing a “land use amendment” for controlling grow-ops, specifically prohibiting medicinal grows from all zones except commercial and industrial. “It will be coming back for a robust discussion,” the mayor added. Coun. Chuck Stam, who is chair of the city’s public health and safety committee said it’s becoming a growing issue. “This should initiate and spark the discussion.”

News Electricity users in for regular rate jolts Truck full of food beats last year Bills projected to rise 10 per cent each year Black Press Expect to see your household’s monthly electricity bill climb $7 in each of the next three years. BC Hydro is now projecting a series of rate increases that will raise a typical monthly residential bill by $21 – a nearly 30 per cent jump from $71 to $92 – by 2013. The Crown corporation needs to raise $6 billion to upgrade aging power stations, transmission lines and the Vancouver city centre transmission system. “To pay for these much-needed projects, we need to increase rates, while still looking at every way to

keep them among the lowest in North America,” BC Hydro president and CEO Dave Cobb said in a statement Dec. 2. The planned hikes mean a typical home will pay about $250 more in 2013 than it did this year. B.C. Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director Jim Quail said the rate increases are likely to continue indefinitely, with electricity bills doubling about every eight years. “There’s no end in sight,” he said. “A number of their projections are probably optimistic. We think If anything it’s conservative.” The much higher cost of modern power infrastructure compared to

It took them about three hours to transport, sort and load a truck full of donated food items for the Chilliwack Salvation Army Food Bank. The Chilliwack Fire Department’s 10th Annual Christmas Food Drive did even better than last year, said Fire Chief Rick Ryall. The effort netted 16,000 and 18,000 food donations, and about $2,500 in cash in the annual food drive. That means an impressive 4,000 more food items than last year. But since they only made it to a fraction of the homes in Chilliwack, they’ll be collecting non-perishable

food donations and dry goods at Fire Hall #1 at the corner of Young Road and Cheam Avenue until Dec. 23. Local firefighters were assisted Monday night by members of Emergency Social Services, St. John’s Ambulance and Chilliwack Search and Rescue, and there were 100 volunteers chipping in. “The fire department would like to thank the public for its generous support in helping to restock the food bank for those less fortunate in our community,” said Chief Ryall. The folks at Sally Ann couldn’t be happier. “We very much appreciate the fire department’s efforts,” said Ian Pratt, community ministries director for the Salvation Army.

RCMP mount ‘Stuff It’ food drive The RCMP are again asking the community to “stuff it” this Christmas - meaning police cruisers located at three food stores in Chilliwack this Sunday. A fourth location in Hope is being added this year. Last year, the ‘Stuff the Cruiser’ event collected seven pallets of food in Chilliwack alone for the Salvation Army Food Bank. “We’re hoping this year will be bigger and better, and we’ll end up with an amount that tops what we collected last year,” RCMP Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said. The donations last year included $1,700 in cash. In Chilliwack, the cruisers will be located at the PriceSmart on Yale Road, the Save-On-Foods store on Promontory Road and Coopers Foods on Tamihi Way in Garrison Village. In Hope, the cruiser will be located at Coopers Foods on Old Hope and Princeton Way. From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday, RCMP officers, some in traditional red serge uniforms, will be on hand to collect donations. “Anyone wishing to have a photo taken with the RCMP members can bring a camera, make a food donation and have their picture taken for free,” Dunlop said. She said Chilliwack “responded very generously to help fight hunger last holiday season, and we know we will see the same response this year in both Chilliwack and Hope.”

the dams built in the 1960s is the main reason. But Quail also blames policy decisions like buying higher priced “clean” electricity from run-of-river power plants and the move to install smart meters in every home, which he predicts will be a billion-dollar boondoggle rather than an investment paying off in conservation. For now, Hydro customers may see some short-term rate relief. The utility had raised rates 9.3 per cent on an interim basis last April, but regulators at the B.C. Utilities Commission have ruled only a 7.29 per cent increase was justified. Customers should get the difference refunded in early 2011.

The death of a 75-year-old woman, struck down in a crosswalk on Saturday, offers a sad reminder of the importance of safety on city streets. Without constant vigilance by both motorists and pedestrians, the outcome can be tragic. That attention is particularly necessary in the winter months. With rain, slick streets and darkness coming early, the margin for error is fine. And yet, drive down any street on a wet and windy night and you’ll find far too many examples of dangerous behaviour. Vehicles are driven at speeds more suitable for dry, sunny weather. Pedestrians seem oblivious to the darkness that often shrouds them. Motorists have to understand that their responsibility is to drive as the conditions dictate. Wet or icy pavement lengthens the distance it takes to stop. That is simple physics, regardless of the vehicle being driven. As one frustrated traffic cop said, “Four-wheel drive doesn’t mean four-wheel stop.” Reaction time, too, is affected by diminished visibility, making it even more important to reduce speed and remain alert. Pedestrians also have a responsibility for their own safety. True, at a crosswalk or at a corner, vehicles are supposed to yield to pedestrians. But those white lines offer little protection if the driver doesn’t see them. Caution is critical because the consequences are so severe. If you are out for a walk, carry a light, or wear a reflective arm band or vest. They won’t guarantee safety, but they will improve your chances of being seen. (Know someone who does a lot of walking? A vest would make a great Christmas present.) Every year, in the Lower Mainland, traffic incidents increase as the dark and wet weather descends. The tragedy of those incidents affect every one involved, regardless of responsibility. But the real tragedy is that in many cases the accidents could have been avoided.

Provincial NDP as a Monty Python sketch VICTORIA – In their classic movie Life of Brian, the British comedy troupe Monty Python spoofs a crumbling Roman Empire and its disorganized enemies. Among those foes is the People’s Front for Judea, determined to bring the empire down and free its victims. Alas, it finds itself locked in a bitter rivalry with a splinter group calling itself the Judean People’s Front. The huddling, oppressed Judeans themselves aren’t much helped by their constant, pointless in-fighting. The resemblance to today’s B.C. political scene is striking. Emperor Gordon the Green is marking his final days. Plotters in his own Senate have sheathed their knives only now that he has agreed to speed his chariot to the exit. His taxes have so enraged the peasantry, there are fears that only his Convention Coliseum and Great Road to Whistler will be left

to mark his reign. And what does the opposition do, even as the torches and pitchforks of a people’s militia clear a broad path to the throne? It finds itself locked in a bitter dispute with a 13-member splinter group – perhaps they should call themselves the Newer Democratic Party. The rebels got their wish Tom Monday, as Carole FLETCHER James resigned as leader. The question is, now what? The Baker’s Dozen, a default label for these rebels, were united by one notion. James must make way for a leadership contest against no declared rival, as soon as possible, because she has no compelling ideas. I’ve been trying to point this out

for years. “Innovative ideas are what the NDP needs now,” this column declared in December 2006, when the first rumblings about James’ leadership were surfacing. At that point, the NDP’s healthcare focus was exploiting the grief of seniors forced into separate care homes by their divergent medical needs. Two years later, the NDP would denounce B.C.’s innovative carbon tax. This was not driven by any substantive logic, a fact that was demonstrated when they dropped their objections after the 2009 election. The common thread with the separated seniors and the carbon tax is that these were merely tactics. See something unpopular and oppose it. The same empty tactics have guided the NDP through the drama over the harmonized sales

tax. They still haven’t said clearly what they would do with it. Events have moved faster than their ability to formulate even the beginnings of an actual plan. I spent some time this weekend on the NDP’s policy development website, called Our Province Our Future. Did you know that this major initiative was launched this past spring? Didn’t think so. There are impressive studies about topics like the volatility of commodity markets. B.C. has started making serious inroads into the Chinese lumber market, driven by aggressive government promotion programs. What has the NDP done? Opposed it, claiming all we can do is sell low-grade lumber at a loss. What’s the NDP’s latest wood product idea? Our Province Our Future has a discussion paper that ends with a series of important questions, such as “What can be

done to generate a shift toward high value-added production?” There are lots of questions, but I didn’t find any answers. The Baker’s Dozen split with James began with the expulsion of Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. His crime was to say that seven years into her leadership, James offers few ideas. Gordon Campbell’s problem was having too many ideas. His record for cabinet reorganizations alone should stand for all time. The NDP still looks like a front group for public-sector unions and not much else. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Politicians told to ‘Man up’ I for one am tired of politicians playing politics. I felt so relieved that Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, representative for children and youth, criticized the Ministry of Children and Family Development for its “unacceptably deficient” and outdated policy for how and when it notifies the representative’s office of critical injuries and death. (‘Watchdog calls for better way to report threats’, Chilliwack Progress, Dec. 7) That was the concern after all, wasn’t it? It couldn’t have been that a child may have been left in an unacceptable home with an unacceptable caregiver resulting in traumatic consequences? Only a politician could take the original spin off the story and give it another. The ministry reporting the incident wouldn’t have changed the outcome. It could only help identify deficiencies existing already. Rather than belaboring “why wasn’t I told, before the

media knew,” it would be nice to know if any of the real concerns are being addressed. If more time was spent here there would be far less need to worry about what the media and public could find out. When an incident comes to light isn’t there anyone to ‘Man Up’ anymore? If you’re in charge don’t blame the people you’re in charge of. I’ve never heard a social worker say, “I wish I could leave this child in their home where the caregivers are alcoholics/addicts/abusers because sooner or later they’ll clean up their act and when that day comes that child will thank me for leaving them right there in the muck, because it’s not so hard to erase hell and nightmares.” That voice instead can be heard in the policies and in the echoes of courtrooms (and we’d all like to know who that voice belongs to because it’s nobody we know). A message for the politicians out there, I’d like to eliminate the

BLAIR COOPER

need for at least one of your polls by telling you in advance what I’d like to see: • Politicians who care before the media tells them they have to. • Man Up when it’s time. Stop looking around for someone to blame. If it falls under your area of responsibility you’re standing on the feet of the person to blame. • When heads roll it is supposed to be from the top down (I say this hoping that a noose wasn’t tightened around the wrong neck in this incident just so someone was held accountable). • Remember you’re not the only imperfect politician. Next week we’ll attack another and you’ll be free to go. We’re not looking for perfection just for someone who is capable and believes in what they are doing and will deserve their inflated pension at the end of the day.

Big trucks aren’t the problem I am reading the opinions in the paper regarding the “big truck” involved in an unfortunate accident at the corner of Mary and Ontario streets last week. From the picture in The Progress, this so called “big truck” was a full-size pickup, which could be essential for many reasons, such as business, etc. Everyone seems to be under the impression that people who drive what they deem to be big trucks

logue” rather than just a protest. About 100 people, including some from the gravel industry, came to the meeting. O’Mahoney said the size of the crowd, especially just before Christmas, “speaks to the level of conflict that’s going on.” Lake Errock homeowners are bitterly opposed to gravel operations located near their properties, some of which the Fraser Valley Regional District admits are contravening its bylaws. And Chilliwack River Valley residents were dismayed when a gravel mine was recently approved by the mines ministry, despite its location in an area where gravel mining would not be approved under the proposed APP. Vedder Mountain residents have formed a lobby group to oppose a proposed plan to expand an existing gravel quarry and haul the material down the mountainside to a storage area below using a conveyor belt.

Aggregate Pilot Project (APP). O’Mahoney has indeed been seen at many public meetings, and talking up the gravel issue during her door-knocking campaign around the riding. O’Mahoney also said she has been keeping provincial MLAs informed about the issue. However, the presence of NDP environment critic Rob Fleming at a meeting held in Yarrow last week is the first official appearance of an NDP MLA at a public meeting focused on land-based gravel removal. And few NDP MLAs have been seen at public meetings on gravel removal from the Fraser River – O’Mahoney’s presence as an “ambassador” or liaison notwithstanding – hence the newspaper’s “largely absent” description. The Yarrow meeting was in fact organized and paid for by the NDP, but O’Mahoney said it wasn’t advertised as such because the party wanted to attract speakers from all sides of the controversy in order to have a “meaningful dia-

Twenty-two-year-old swimmer Ryan Kuester was honoured at city hall this week for representing both Chilliwack and Canada on the national front with stellar achievements. Mayor Sharon Gaetz presented the medal-winning athlete with a certificate of appreciation recognizing his outstanding performance in competition. Kuester brought home three golds from the National Special Olympics, and was selected to compete next year at the Worlds in Greece. “Congratulations to you and to coach Jacques Lemieux,” said Mayor Gaetz on Monday. Kuester said he’s been swimming with Special Olympics for four years, after he first heard about it in Grade 12. “It’s just been a blast for me ever since,” he said. He first competed in Abbotsford, then he moved on to the provincials, the nationals, and now, the worlds. “You do our city very proud,” said Gaetz.

Neighbours Finding comfort with Kathleen Harries

ctober was a significant month for Chilliwack’s Kathleen Harries for after almost nineteen years with the Comfort Inn, she retired. Comfort Inn General Manager, Leonard Wiens, holds Kathleen in high esteem. “Kathleen was a great employee. She was a great housekeeper and for her, the job was never seen as a dead end because she cared and that has shown. Over the years, our housekeeping earned very good marks from our chain but most importantly from our guests because of the work she’s done in rooms and in training others,” he said. When we sat down to chat, I could clearly tell that Kathleen was a kind, humble, loyal individual who cares much more about others than she does herself. She’s a farm girl at heart, raised in a rural settlement about thirty-five miles north of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She lived on a grain farm and even as a youngster was no stranger to hard work. “We had cattle and hogs and other animals. I always had chores to do. I milked the

cows in the morning and sometimes in the evening, I had to gather eggs, prepare meals and do house work. I also learned to sew on my grandmother’s treadle sewing machine and I used to make clothes for my nieces and nephews,” she reflected. Although Kathleen enjoyed school, she ended up dropping out before graduating, admitting that she wasn’t particularly schoAna lastically inclined. MACEDO She decided to take a hairdressing course, thinking that it might be something that she would enjoy doing. “My hands bothered me and I found that I actually didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would,” she said. She moved out west at 18 to live with her aunt, helping her raise her children. After a time, she began working for a senior’s retirement complex in Penticton and ended up meeting her future husband there. The couple married on June 14, 1969

in Naramata. As a salesman, her husband travelled extensively and this also necessitated that they move frequently. “We moved to Calgary, then we moved back to the Okanagan and lived in Kelowna for a time. Then we were on the move again to Alberta and finally came to Chilliwack and I’ve lived here ever since.” As the economy hit hard times, things became tough at home. “With the kind of work that my husband did, it became financially necessary that I return to work. I had been an at home mom up to this point,” she said. Kathleen hit the pavement looking for work and was hired March 26, 1992 at the Comfort Inn. “I was hired as a housekeeper and I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, no question about it but I was used to hard work as I had always done that on the farm,” she said plainly. Over that time, she met and worked with many people. She was so proficient and knowledgeable that she became a trainer for new housekeeping Continued: ANA/ p33

Florida: She fought the law and the law won Mitchell Smyth Meridian Writers’ Group OCKLAWAHA, FLORIDA – Little has changed in 75 years here on County Road 25, about 32 kilometres south of Ocala. As you look toward the two-storey frame house fronting Lake Weir it’s easy to imagine yourself on this spot in the predawn hours of January 16, 1935. In your mind’s eye you can see vintage Fords and Packards glide up, their motors cut and their lights doused, and watch as the FBI agents alight and take up positions behind the oak trees and in the orange grove. At 7 a.m., the shooting started. When it was over Arizona Kate (“Ma”) Barker and her son Fred were dead. They had been the last two members of the Ma Barker gang still at large. In the previous year Ma and sons Fred and Arthur (“Doc”) had mounted a crime spree across Depression-era midwestern America, robbing banks and killing 10 people in

from

the agents had found part of a letter which they believed was from Ma or Fred. It said that where they were holed up there was good hunting for a three-legged alligator called Old Joe. “So Hoover sent agents through Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, all through the southeast. In less than a week they found there was just such an alligator in Lake Weir.” The agents asked around and found that an elderly “Mrs. Blackburn” and her son “Blackie” had rented the lakefront house off Route 25. A neighbour recognized them as Ma and Fred from FBI mug shots. The house is private property, off-limits to tourists. But for several years it was open to the public for a day each year, when a recreation of the shootout was staged. “We had antique cars, and sheriff’s department staffers played the FBI agents,” says Richard Lillie, president of the Lake Weir Chamber of Commerce. “But then we found it difficult to get enough volunteers

the process. Just how involved Ma Barker, 58, was in the actual crimes is still a matter of debate. But the gang kidnapped a banker—a federal offense—and that brought the FBI into the chase. Hours after the gun battle, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover met the press. He didn’t tell who gave the “bandit queen” away, but the locals will tell you that Ma and Fred were undone by an alligator called Old Joe. The four-bedroom house, with a screened patio out front, today looks pretty much as it did in 1935. A few years ago its then-resident showed me around, pointing out some of the bullet holes in the walls (the FBI pumped in 1,500 to 2,000 rounds). And in the upstairs room where Ma and Fred went down shooting, he spoke about Old Joe. He said that early in January 1935 the G-men had captured Doc Barker in Chicago and grilled him about where Ma and Fred were hiding. “Doc wouldn’t talk,” my contact said, “but

beliefs. Imagine how our community could be transformed. Developmentally, one of the main goals of adolescence is independence from their parents and caregivers. Independence is most notably associated with adolescence, but the roots begin much earlier in young people’s Marie lives. The AMOS more independence a young child or youth develops while still having the safety buffer of a parent increases the likelihood he or she will have the inner discipline and resources to manage full independence. It is very easy to tell a child what to do, but so much better to have them develop the skills of making moral and prosocial decisions. Consider the long term investment of a young person internalizing and practicing the right things to do. I’m not suggesting that children and youth should be allowed to do whatever they wish under the guise of developing independence; but every skill begins with small steps. For example, encouraging your young person to interact with a store clerk, choose their own clothing, or even how he or she wishes to play with his or her toys. Ideally, caring and involved adults are available to support and be a sounding board for decisions, as well as demonstrating values and positive rolemodelling in their own lives. Independence consists of responsibility as well as freedom, and there are natural consequences to most decisions. Allowing children and young people to make decisions in areas where there may be negative (but not life-threatening or traumatic) consequences is good practice for larger decisions that may have greater long-term impact. It is tempting for parents to be directive, and to Continued: CIRCLE/ p26

Home&Garden

Gift ideas for the gardener Quality and usefulness are perhaps the two most important criteria to keep in mind, writes Brian Minter FOR A FOR Indoor and outdoor echeveria and succulent gardens and wreaths are another hot trend. They are fabulous, very unique, colourful and easy to care for. Research has revealed that of all the gifts people receive, flowers make folks the happiest. Longlasting and perfumed Christmas bouquets with seasonal fragrant greens are a real treat anytime over the Christmas season. Gardeners love plants best of all and there are some wonderful new hardy plants they can enjoy in the late fall and winter. ‘Bloomerang’

lilacs that bloom twice, winter blooming cherries, jasmine, viburnums and camellias are fabulous. Peeling bark maples, coral bark maples and contorted filberts and willows are a joy in winter. ‘Pink Lemonade’ blueberries, the new haskap berries and dwarf sour cherries are the ‘hottie’ foods for 2011. By stepping out of the box a wee bit, there are some wonderful European garden tours out there, and Donna Dawson, at icangarden. com provides some of the very best. Garden makeovers are all the rage today, and a gift

certificate from a quality garden designer is also a wonderful gift. Tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle this coming February would be a treasured gift (tickets can be purchased online). Tickets or season passes to some of our wonderful Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island gardens would also be a splendid idea. Most gardeners appreciate something unique and different. Quality and usefulness are perhaps the two most important criteria to keep in mind. I hope this helps.

ou may have already discovered this reality: when it comes to gardening gifts, passionate gardeners are very particular, so here are some suggestions that you might find helpful. There are so many great gardening books available today. It is well worth a browse in the gardening section of your favourite book store. Gardeners love quality books with great information and lots of coloured photographs. The Sunset Western Garden Book is probably one of the most useful. You might also consider a gift subscription to one of our excellent local gardening magazines, like Gardens West or Gardenwise. At the high end of gardening gifts, a greenhouse is a present to be enjoyed for many years. My advice is to buy the best quality which usually means aluminium and glass construction. Greenhouses are a great way to extend the growing season and a useful place for winter storage of less hardy plants and bulbs. Attracting wildlife to gardens has also become quite a trend these days. Birdbaths and birdbath heaters, feeders and bird houses are great gifts for children and shut-ins. Birding is the number two leisure activity in North America, and birding accessories are a nice present for those who enjoy this hobby. During winter cold spells, the birds would appreciate some help. There are a whole host of gardening gift ideas like quality tools, gardeners’ soap, richly toned wind chimes and gardening videos. There are also ergonomically designed tools for easy of use. For those gardeners who are finding it a little more difficult to kneel down and get back up, handy kneelers, which double as a seat, are awesome. Complete gardening ‘wardrobes’ are available from gardening hats, gloves, aprons and footwear to knee pads and garden tool belts. A gift certificate to a favourite gardening store is also a valued treasure. Today, many people are interested in growing vegetables and herbs indoors, and the best system is probably the fully automated Aero Garden. It’s easy and very productive.

The attribute of independence, nestled amongst belonging, mastery, and generosity, provides an overview of healthy development. Imagine what these qualities look like in a young person- someone who is a caring and contributing member of our community. Each of the four attributes are equally important, and can be consciously cultivated. Consider the young people in your life; Which of these attributes do they already possessand which ones could you help them practice and grow?

Young CSOPA actors rehearse for The Wizard of Oz under the guidance of Stefanie Fortin for Saturday’s show where they will appear as Munchkins. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Local munchkins land in Oz Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s billed as one of the greatest family musicals of all time. The Wizard of Oz blows into town for one night at Prospera Centre on Saturday, with a special local component from the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts. A total of 11 Chilliwack performers, between the ages of eight and 12, are all atwitter as they prepare to take the stage as Munchkins, as well as a stint as Winkie guards. The national tour of The Wizard of Oz is based on the

Royal Shakespeare Company’s celebration of the iconic 1939 MGM film. Breathtaking special effects will sweep audiences away, from the moment the tornado twists its way into Kansas. They’ll follow the adventures of Dorothy, Toto and their friends Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion in this lavish production featuring dazzling choreography, costumes and some of the most memorable music ever. To fit strict costume requirements, the local Munchkins all had to be under five feet and under 100 pounds. They also had to have some stage experience. The performers have been

compacted 24 hours of rehearsals into three weeks. The scale of the opportunity this affords is not lost on her. “It’s going to be an amazing experience — possibly once in a lifetime,” Fortin offers. “I didn’t have this experience when I was younger. I would have died for a chance like this.” She sees it as an upshot of the “incredible growth” the arts sector has sustained in Chilliwack. “Chilliwack is being put on the map.” • Wizard of Oz, Dec. 11, Prospera Centre, 7 p.m. $39.50/$67. Tickets at Ticketmaster.ca or 1-800-6639311.

A seasonal benefit concert at CSS next Thursday showcases a range of Christmas classics by the young performers from Chilliwack Secondary’s music department. It’s the 19th Annual Christmas Benefit Concert on Dec. 16 in the CSS gym for families and children of all ages. It’s shaping up to be a wonderful evening devoted exclusively to seasonal music and all proceeds go to Chilliwack Salvation Army Food Bank, says music teacher Gary Raddysh. The program features seven CSS ensembles: Dixieland Band, Jazz Choir, R&B Band, Jazz Band, Jubellation Handbell Choir, Pandora Steel Band, and the CSS Concert Band. The concert performance features a visit from Santa himself. CSS Christmas Benefit Concert, Dec. 16 in the gym, 7 p.m. Entry by donation with suggested minimum of $2.

Over $8,000 was raised by Chilliwack students last year specifically for Adopt a Village projects, like the clean water campaign. “This is a yearlong program that is empowering students to take action and make a difference,” said Lillicrap. Participating schools include G.W. Graham, Sardis secondar y, Chilliwack secondary, A.D. Rundle middle, Rosedale traditional, Chilliwack middle, Vedder middle, Mount Slesse middle, and Central elementary.

they plan to raise the bar even higher this year. “This is not just an isolated fundraiser,” said Erin Lillicrap, teacher at G.W. Graham middlesecondary school. “We are all working together, sharing ideas, and seeing what other youth in our district are doing.” They’re making a difference. We Schools in Action is a program organized by Free the Children, a Toronto-based organization that works on the premise of youth helping youth. Through this program, students learn how to become active global citizens and leaders while taking action to make a positive difference both at home and around the globe. In Chilliwack, they’ve gone door-to-door at Halloween requesting a canned food item for the Salvation Army instead of

Ana talks with Kathleen Harries ANA from p18 staff. She was eventually offered the role of supervisor but turned it down as she knew that retirement was on the horizon. While she thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of her job, she found that making beds was the hardest, most physically demanding part of the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suffer from back problems and I know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a result of making so many beds. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always bent over,â&#x20AC;? she said with a smile. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begrudge that reality but moves on and considers it just part of life. Kathleen is one of those people that goes about doing her best, helping others whenever she can and is a cheerful contributor no matter what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called on to do. As Leonard Wiens points out, during her time with the Comfort Inn, she cleaned 60,000 toilets, made 90,000 beds and has cleaned enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a well rounded person who deserves recognition for her years of hard work.â&#x20AC;?

shortbread cookies. Stress and guilt around food choices is counterproductive to keeping healthy and enjoying the holidays. Being mindful of food choices, however, is important to staying healthy. Follow these tips to enjoy the holidays without ringing in the New Year looking like the jolly man himself. 1. Eat for health, most of the time. The 80/20 rule is a good rule to follow all year round, and especially during the holiday season. Eat healthy, nutrient packed food (think whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans and lean meats) most of the time. If you do that, occasionally, you can indulge free from guilt. 2. Focus on friends, not food. Instead of mingling with friends over a table full of mini quiches and meatballs, plan a get-together that does not revolve around food. Host a Christmas craft-making party, plan a games night, or a snowshoe outing. Have healthy snacks available to your

guests- but make the activity, not the food, the main event. 3. Eat before you go out. It is it nearly impossible to make healthful decisions when you are starving. To save yourself from overdosing on calorieridden Tanja appetizSHAW ers, eat a small, healthy meal before going out to a party or dinner. A bowl of vegetable soup or a hearty salad will do the trick. 4. Enjoy your treats with gusto. Cookies, cakes and cocktails are just about everywhere in December- and chances are, at some point they will end up at your lips. Choose your treats wisely. Don’t indulge just because they are in front of you. When you choose something that you really want to have, enjoy! 5. Keep moving. You can offset some of the extra calories by boosting your workout routine over the holidays. If you don’t have a lot of time to workout, increase the intensity of the workout to compensate. Exercising will make you feel energized and healthy, and may make you less likely to overindulge in holiday treats. After dinner walks are another good way to fit in a little extra exercise. Happy Holidays, Chilliwack!

Bruins head east on pre-Christmas trip

PUCK PREVIEW

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress If ever there was a good time for a hockey team to hit the road, this might be it for the Chilliwack Bruins. Coming off a 5-4 loss to the Swift Current Broncos on Tuesday, the good guys have dropped seven of their last 11 at Prospera Centre. Overall, the Bruins sport an underwhelming 8-8-1-1 record at home — not the stuff that championship contending dreams are made of. On the flipside, Chilliwack has been reasonably stout on the road at 5-4-1-0, and their current five-game trek takes them into territory they’ve had good success in. The trip starts tonight in Lethbridge before continuing on to Medicine Hat (tomorrow), Calgary (Dec. 14), Red Deer (Dec. 15) and Edmonton (Dec. 17). Historically, the Bruins have done well visiting the Central division, posting an alltime record of 11-9-1-2 in Alberta. Which gives head coach Marc Habscheid hope that this trip will fix what ails his struggling crew. “We’ve got guys from Alberta who like getting out there and maybe seeing their family,” Habscheid noted. “And in a long 72 game season, sometimes it’s nice to just have something different.”

HEAD-TO-HEAD The Bruins are 2-5-1-1 alltime against the Tigers, with a record of 1-2-1-1 within the hostile confines of the Medicine Hat Arena.

LAST MEETING The Bruins went 3-1-0-0 during an October road trip, suffering their lone loss at the hands of Medicine Hat. Chilliwack lost 5-4 Oct. 30, getitng goals from Robin Soudek, Kevin Sundher, Brendan Persley and Jamie Crooks. Despite the result, head coach Marc Habscheid called it their best game of the trip.

NHL PROSPECTS

Recently acquired Emerson Hrynyk is one player who should benefit spending some extended road-trip time with his new Bruin teammates. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Chilliwack’s last home game, Tuesday morning against Swift Current, was one to forget and one to remember. One to remember for the 3000-plus middle school students who packed Prospera Centre for the Great Canadian Oil Change/ Chilliwack Bruins ‘Celebrating Youth’ field trip. One to forget for the on-ice performance, which started with the Bruins digging themselves into a 3-0 hole. Justin Dowling, Taylor Vause and Cody Eakin did the damage, with the Broncos scoring on

three of their first six shots. Jamie Crooks got one back before the first period was done, but Eakin’s second of the game chased Chilliwack goalie Lucas Gore from his net three minutes and 17 seconds into period two. Dylen McKinlay re-ignited the building at 11:55, scoring his first of the season on a Chilliwack power play. The Minnesota Wild prospect pounced on a loose puck as it squirted out of a crowd in the crease, beating Friesen with a five-hole backhand shot.

Roman Horak got the Bruins within one late in the period, scoring on a Bruins power play. Kevin Sundher and Robin Soudek did some good work digging the puck out of the left corner. Soudek came away with the puck and fed a perfect cross-crease pass to Horak, who had nothing but net to shoot at for his 15th. But the Bruins didn’t carry any of that momentum into the third period, generating just five shots on net. Ex-Chilliwack goalie Mark Friesen stopped them all to preserve

the win, and Eakin got his hat-trick tally with under five minutes remaining. Ryan Howse got his 20th of the season in the final minute to wrap up the scoring. And now it’s out on the road, looking to build upon an overall record of 13-12-2-1 that currently has them sitting dead last in the 10 team Western conference. The good news is that other than Portland, no other team in the conference is more than five points in front of them. A successful stretch could have them sitting

second in the conference before you could say, ‘How’d that happen?’ “Especially going into Christmas, it’s good to get out there,” Habscheid said. “At this time of year, I think some of their minds wander as they look toward the break. Playing different teams in different towns helps them maintain their focus.” The Bruins come out of the Christmas break with back-toback road games in Prince George. They’re at home New Years Eve versus Moose Jaw.

HOWSE HEADS TO CANADA CAMP

CHILLIWACK (2010-11 STATS)

Chilliwack’s leading goal-scorer, Ryan Howse, will miss most of the Alberta road trip as he heads to Toronto for the Canadian National Junior Team selection camp. The 19-year-old Calgary Flames prospect hit the 20-goal mark during Tuesday’s loss to Swift Current, but it is his improved attention to defence that may give him a shot at cracking Canada’s roster.

Knights clip Cedars to take title In a season plagued by turmoil and adversity, the Highroad Academy Knights senior girls volleyball team turned in a Cinderella finish. The Knights won a provincial title, their third in the last five years, at Abbotsford Christian School on Saturday. Highroad Academy came into the seasonending tournament ranked sixth in a field of 16, fresh off a bronzemedal performance at the Fraser Valley Championships. The Chilliwack crew, who spent a grand total of three weeks all season with a healthy starting lineup, went undefeated, beating Nanaimo’s Cedars secondary school in the final. The Knights opened the tournament last Thursday, defeating Southridge (Surrey) and Valemount in straight sets. The locals went three sets against Kelowna’s Immaculata, taking the final round-robin match by scores of 25-10, 23-25,

15-10. In their first must-win match on Friday morning, Highroad defeated a scrappy Similkameen (Keremeos) squad in straight sets (25-10, 25-12, 25-12).Team captain and right side hitter Elina Caronni led the team with 12 kills and three aces. Senior left side Dorissa Weston added seven digs and Whitney Zylstra had 10 to lead the defense. The Friday evening quarter final proved much tougher, with Kimberley’s Selkirk Storm providing the opposition. It took four sets for the Knights to finish the job (25-17, 25-23, 16-25, 25-9) and advance to their tenth final four appearance in 14 seasons. The middle attack made the difference. Senior Melissa McDermid hammered eight kills, added three service aces and committed no errors. Zylstra was unstoppable with 11 kills and five aces, throwing in nine stuff blocks to completely shut down Selkirk’s

twin towers, Brianne Rauch (six foot) and Silka Schaber (six-foottwo). Caronni added 16 digs on defense and Grade 11 setter Richelle Hylkema was outstanding, racking up 35 assists. Saturday morning’s semi final was the pivotal match of the tournament as Highroad Academy ran into Kelowna Christian, the top ranked team in the province. The youngest and smallest member of the starting six led the Knights to victory, with Grade 10 left side hitter Kayla Grimard (five-foot-six) pounding out nine kills while committing only one hitting error and adding 12 digs on defense. Zylstra had another strong match with 11 kills and five aces while Caronni added 10 digs. The Knights won in three sets by scores of 25-23, 25-15, 25-23. Facing Cedars in a very scrappy final, the Chilliwack team went four sets to prevail by scores of 19-25, 25-12, 25-23, 25-23. Zylstra

capped her weekend with a stunning performance banging out 18 kills, three aces and three stuff blocks. Grimard (24 digs) and Caronni (18 digs) led the defense. Hylkema added another 35 assists to earn a spot on the first all-star team. Caronni was named to the second all-star Team and Zylstra was honored as the tournament MVP. Highroad Academy finished the season with a record of 33-11. With only three graduating players, they should be in good shape to take yet another run at the title in 2011-12. The champions are: Janaea Hansen, Melissa McDermid, Dorissa Weston, Elina Caronni, Richelle Hylkema, Whitney Zylstra, Kayla Grimard, Jamie Doldersum, Ashley Luteyn and Brittney Grimard. The Knights are coached by Duncan Harrison and assistant coaches Larry Daley, Sharmain Loosdrecht, Angie Zylstra and Meaghan Westeringh.

Chilliwack’s U-15 Attack soccer girls dropped the North Coquitlam Tornadoes last weekend, winning 5-1. Mackenzie Graham set up Krista Bartel for the opening goal 17 minutes in, but the Tornadoes got a lucky one late in the first half to send the teams into the break tied 1-1. Megan Kelly put the locals on top to stay early in the second half, with Bettina Rillera, Sydney Steeves and Jenna Snow also scoring in the win.

Chilliwack is a pretty nice place to land for a Saskatchewan farm girl. I’ve lived in Calgary and Surrey and Coquitlam, but it sure felt like home when I arrived here. With more amenities being completed all the time, this city feels more “big time” all the time, while still retaining the small town, country feel. I love it and I do a great sell job on anyone who’s thinking about moving here. As another year comes to a close, I’d like to thank all of you who take the time to read my little note in this column each month. Also to all my past and present clients for your referrals and support over the years. Whatever this holiday holds for you, I hope you’ll be happy and go about your days with a full and grateful heart. Enjoy the lights, and music and goodwill of the season. From my home to yours, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing you in 2011!

The Mission... The Vision... An Enduring Purpose... A Future Focus... Who Am I... My Promise... These words begin to describe how I differ for the norm. I have spent the past 16 years in the Sales, Marketing, and Advertising field. It is this background that gives me a unique perspective of how a home should be marketed. Are you tired of leaving messages that aren’t being returned? Do you find it annoying when the homes advertised in the newspapers are not as they seem? Wouldn’t it be nice to work with someone who understands your point of view? Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than having satisfied clients whom I have helped to reach their real estate goals. I provide you with the highest degree of professional service excellence and customer satisfaction that is “TOUGH to BEAT.” I am Mike DellaFortuna, and it would be my pleasure to help you.

• The Bruins are currently in fifth place in the B.C. division. • The Bruins are five points out of first place in the B.C. division, with two games in hand with on the division leading Vancouver Giants Vancouver • The Bruins are currently in 10th place in the Western Conference. • The Bruins are five points behind three teams that are tied for second in the Western Conference Western (Vancouver, Spokane, Tri City). Tri • All of the above As we near the midpoint of the regular season it’s hard to believe that the answer is ‘All of the above.’ Right now, just five points separate the entire division and looking at the conference it’s the same margin of five points that separate nine of the 10 teams. Portland, despite winning just three of winning their past 10 games, are still in first with a 13 point lead. Obviously things can change quickly

Every game and every point is extremely important. A team can go into a weekend in first, lose two games and end the weekend in third. As long as things stayy this tight, every game against a division rival has to be treated like a playoff game and games against conference rivals are onlyy slightly less important. A few more odds and ends. Congrats to the k Bruins Facebook contest winners who correctly predicted who would score the Bruins first goals in recent games. With a goal againstt Swift Current on Tuesday, Ryan Howse has now scored L against every WHL team except Moose Jaw, Chilliwack’s home w opponent on New Years Eve. Here’s hoping Ryan misses that game because he is wearing a Team Canada jerseyy at the World Juniorr Championships. S p o r t s n e t L announced their CHL broadcast schedule this week and the Bruins are not on it. Calgary, the worst team in the WHL will have two off their games broadcast. The WHL will be offering free webcasts overr the holiday season, on Dec. 28, 29 and 30. The Bruins play twice during that span, both games are in Prince George. jb@chilliwackbruins.com

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE SCORING LEADERS

12/10F_CB10

A dozen members of Chilliwack’s Spartan Swim Club trekked to Richmond last weekend for the Richmond Fastswim Meet, competing against 385 competitors from across the province. Jordan Torok took the lone first place finish for the local contingent, leading the 16-and-over boys division in the 200 metre fly. He added a second place showing in the 100m fly and 1500m freestyle. David Lavin (15-yearold boys) placed second in the 50m backstroke and third in the 100m backstroke. Carson Olafson (13-year-old boys) placed third in the 100m backstroke and Alana See (16-and-over girls) earned third in the 800m freestyle.

Alexis Scoville in second and Rachel Vandenberg in third. The competition took place over seven days with athletes challenged to tests of ability in strength, speed, agility and sports-specific aptitude. It was the first year for the event.

Let’s start out with a bit of trivia. Heading into this weekend’s action, which of these statements is true?

but there is no reason to believe that playoff races will not go right down to the final weekend of play. The top eight teams in the conference make the playoffs with the two division winners earning the top two spots. In three of the first four seasons, the Bruins have known fairly early in the season if they were going to qualify for the post season. In season one, it took the Bruins until Mar. 14 to lock down a playoff spot with a 5-3 win over Spokane. Who can forget Matt Meropoulis scoring late in the third to put the Bruins up 4-3, and Cody Smuk adding the empty netter to put the game away? Prospera Centre was loud that night. In year two, both Portland and Prince George struggled to the point that the Bruins knew they were in the playoffs in mid January. In year three it was again mid January that the Bruins knew their fate. This time it was Chilliwack on the outside looking in. Last season, poor campaigns from Seattle and Prince George gave the Bruins enough breathing room that the playoffs were never in doubt after Christmas. My point? The final two thirds of this season should be a lot of fun.

Trivia Talk A Traditional Dish? Frumenty was a spiced porridge, enjoyed by both rich and poor. It is thought to be the forerunner of modern Christmas puddings. It has its origins in a Celtic legend of the harvest god Dagda, who stirred a porridge made up of all the good things of the Earth

13 Sad Years In 1647, the English parliament passed a law that made Christmas illegal. Puritan leader, Oliver Cromwell, who considered feasting and revelry, on what was supposed to be a holy day, to be immoral, banned festivities. The ban was lifted only when the Puritans lost power in 1660.

BUKOWSKY Gunda Hilda

Sept. 28, 1923 – Dec. 3, 2010 Our dear and precious mommy, grammy and greatgrammy has left this world after many BUKOWSKY years of suffering with diabetes and its complications. True to herself, she lived on her own until the end and remained independent. Hilda was born in Hague, Saskatchewan to Russian immigrant parents. She had 2 siblings. Her life on the prairies was difficult, working the farm with her dad after her mother died too soon. She married Peter in 1944 and they moved to BC, eventually settling in Squamish in 1953. They had 7 children. Her family lived with little, but mommy always made the best of everything. She faced unimaginable hardships but endured faithfully and built a lasting legacy of dignity, honour, selflessness, respect and love. She was the glue that bonded us together. She touched everyone she met in a meaningful way. Though we will miss her tremendously we also celebrate her life. This world was not her home; she was but a stranger here. We look forward to the great and glorious day when we shall all meet again in Christ Jesus. We don’t know how you did it but we are all so very proud of you mommy. You truly were one of a kind. Unending gratitude to all at NU5N Chilliwack General, amazing, amazing human beings! Service Saturday, Dec. 11th at 2:00 pm, St. Mary’s Church, Chilliwack. Cremation to follow. Interment Hague, Saskatchewan. No flowers by request. Please send donations to St Joseph’s, 2449 The Boulevard, Garibaldi Highlands, BC V0N 1T0.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, the time has come to explore a new occupation. Think outside your current career path. Change might be a good thing for you in the weeks to come.
