Arrest made over online sex allegations with teen

■ H ONOURING M R . Q

Robert Freeman The Progress A 20-year-old Surrey man has been arrested for allegedly starting up a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old Chilliwack girl using online networks Facebook and iPod. “They had several online conversations and shared explicit photos of themselves to each other,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. “The two also met personally on more than one occasion where sexual offences were committed.”

She said parental control of children using popular online social networks is the key to preventing such incidents.

“A lot of parents may not know what their kids are up to,” she said, when they click onto Facebook or iPod’s Peer-to-Peer application.

“We want to alert parents to know these things are happening.”

Many computer devices have settings to limit access to inappropriate matters and protect children from online predators.

The 20-year-old suspect was arrested in Surrey and released on conditions including no contact with the Chilliwack girl. He is facing several sex-related charges.

Here are more police tips for parents: ■ you can block the ability to install applications on a browser, YouTube and iTunes; ■ you can also restrict what is purchased for applications, music and podcasts; ■ movies, TV shows and applications can be restricted by ratings; ■ YouTube is a “hot destination” for most kids, and it has an app button on the main page of an iPad; ■ YouTube has settings on its home page to control what videos your children can search for and view; ■ don’t let children add content to iPad or any computer without permission; ■ the iPad itself can be password-protected to prevent use by children; ■ sign out of the App Store when not actively shopping. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Support grows for early French immersion Katie Bartel The Progress Twenty letters in support of implementing early French immersion in Chilliwack were presented at Tuesday night’s school board meeting.

As well, three parents spoke in favour of implementing EFI, and one grandparent.

“The desire [for EFI] has been here for years; now we have momentum,” said Jessica

Becker, parent of a three-yearold.

“We are requesting the school district begin exploring this option.”

The EFI supporters spoke during the public participation portion of the meeting, and were allotted five minutes each to speak.

Parent Travis Forstbauer informed trustees that federal funding is available for expanding French immersion pro-

grams. He also suggested the school district is losing students because it doesn’t have early French immersion.

“You are already losing children that could be in this school district to Abbotsford, and obviously that’s money that you are also losing,” said Forstbauer.

If Chilliwack did have early French immersion, Forstbauer believes it would attract students from Agassiz and Hope that would otherwise go to

Abbotsford for EFI. “I think early French immersion would bring more students into our school district and therefore more money,” said Forstbauer.

Gerry Kingston said the lack of early French immersion has been swaying families from moving to Chilliwack for decades.

Anesthesiologists vow to withdraw services in spring Tricia Leslie Black Press A new agreement that supports obstetrical anesthesia 24 hours a day, seven days a week in B.C. was announced by the provincial government Tuesday.

While that news is welcome, the B.C. Anesthesiologists’ Society (BCAS) – which issued a media advisory Monday regarding its Tuesday morning press conference – said it simply illustrates an ongoing problem: the lack of any kind of process for the BCAS to communicate with government to resolve several issues, including the need for 24/7 anesthesiologists in B.C. obstetrics wards.

Anesthesiologists still plans

‘Landmark’ health accord signed with First Nations in Fraser Valley Aboriginal health outcomes are expected to improve as a result of a partnership reached this week — the first of its kind in British Columbia.

“This agreement signals an important change, and the way ahead for how health services will be delivered to First Nations, not only in the Fraser Health Region but throughout BC,” Sto:lo Tribal Council Grand Chief Doug Kelly said in a news release.

The partnership was signed by FHA officials and the Fraser Salish Regional Caucus representing the Sto:lo Tribal Council, the Sto:lo Nation and independent Salish communities.

The caucus has representatives on the First Nation Health Council, a provincial body tasked with creating a First Nations Health Authority — the first of its kind in Canada — in collaboration with federal and provincial partners.

A key commitment of the accord is creation of an Aboriginal Health Steering Committee to set aboriginal health priorities, policies, budgets and services in the Fraser region.

The accord calls for improvements in service delivery through more collaboration between FHA officials and First Nations Health Centres to work with community health leaders on “more culturally appropriate health strategies.”

“Our approach to health and wellbeing is, more than anything, community-based,” Chief Willie Charlie, who represents the independent Fraser Salish communities, said in the news release.

to withdraw elective services as of April 1, despite the province’s “convenient” announcement, said BCAS executive director Dr. Roland Orfaly.

He said the timing of the Ministry of Health release was interesting.

“The first we heard of it was at 10:15 this morning,” he said Tuesday. The BCAS press conference started at 10:30 a.m.

“We had no idea the government was even talking to anyone on that issue. We were certainly not part of the process.”

Orfaly said the BCAS has been trying for years to create a process in which it can come to the table with government representatives to address issues including wait

times for surgery to patient safety issues (including the need for 24/7 obstetrics anesthesiologists) to perioperative efficiency issues.

“Right now, there is no process.

An agreement was signed two years ago today where they promised us there would be a process in place by 2011,” he said. “We’re still waiting. We’ve been waiting for years for the government to address all problems regarding anesthetic care.”

Orfaly said instead of increasing ORs and funding, more could be done with existing resources. “(The provincial government) is just throwing money at the symptoms of the problems,” he said.

“It’s not about more money. It’s about not wasting the money we

have.”

The Ministry of Health said the “milestone” agreement with the B.C. Medical Association (BCMA) paves the way for 24/7 obstetrical anesthesia services in all of B.C.’s tertiary care maternity hospitals to better support high-risk pregnant women and their babies.

Funding will come from “the allocation of $2.5 million in unspent funding from the current Physician Master Agreement between the province and the BCMA.” B.C. Women’s Hospital already has a dedicated obstetrical anesthesiology (DOBA) ser vice in place, said the province, and the new funding will help support services at B.C.’s other level three maternity hospitals – Surrey

Sardis secondary teacher Joe Massie takes a bite of deep-fried turkey during a Christmas lunch in his agriculture class on Tuesday. His ag classes raised 10 turkeys at the school, four of which were donated to Ruth and Naomi’s and Sto:lo Nation, two which were eaten that day during the turkey lunch, and four which were given to students and teachers at the school who helped raise the turkeys.

Fraser Valley ‘hit hard’ by copper thieves: RCMP Copper theft continues to be a problem throughout the Fraser Valley, and the RCMP is asking for public help to hold the line.

Thousands of dollars worth of copper has been stolen in Fraser Valley communities recently, with thieves using ever more elaborate means and taking more and more risks to carry away the increasingly valuable metal.

Police have seen cases where

thieves have dressed as utility personnel or contractors to enter hydroelectric facilities to steal copper wire.

“While (stealing) copper wire can be appealing to thieves who sell the metal for scrap, it is extremely dangerous and can result in serious injury or death,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.

But despite those risks, burglars will climb power poles, scale

tall fences and break into buildings just to obtain a few dollars worth of the metal, she said.

And it’s happening all over the Fraser Valley, not just in different areas at different times.

In Chilliwack, secure compounds have been broken into and rolls of copper wire stolen, even copper wire from inside machines on the property.

Several copper wire thefts in

Memorial, Victoria General and Royal Columbian.

Orfaly said in the past, the BCAS has offered the government $3 million of its own funding to help provide 24/7 obstetrics care, but that the government didn’t want to talk.

The ministry release says the BCAS “has yet to submit any formal proposal”, but “looks forward to hearing more details on this funding from the society.”

The BCAS does not take the planned job action lightly, Orfaly noted.

“All we’re asking for is a process.”

Agassiz have been reported, and even the Hemlock Valley and Morris Valley Road area have been “hit hard in recent weeks,” Hollingsworth said.

In Hope, telephone service was disrupted when “copious amounts of copper wire” were stolen, which posed a “huge safety risk to residents” if emergency situations had arisen, she said.

‘Misogyny’ behind Canada’s missing and murdered native women, says Crey and young aboriginal women are five times more likely to die of violence.”

McIvor said “systemic discrimination” is at the root of the murders and disappearances of aboriginal women in Canada.

“Canada has not lived up to its obligations under international human rights law to prevent, investigate and remedy violence against aboriginal women and girls,” she said.

Canada has signed a protocol that authorizes the UN committee to investigate allegations of “grave or systemic violations” of the UN Convention by means of an inquiry.

“Now that the inquiry has been announced, Canada will be expected to cooperate with the committee’s investigation,” Crey said.

The United Nations has reportedly called for an inquiry into the hundreds of missing and aboriginal women in Canada over the last 20 years.

Sharon McIvor of the Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action said she has it on “very good authority” that the decision to hold an inquiry has been made, but no document will likely be seen to confirm the decision.

“I suspect in the not-too-distant future Canada will publicly acknowledge the inquiry,” she told The Progress Wednesday.

Chilliwack resident Ernie Crey, whose sister Dawn vanished from Vancouver’s Downtown East Side in November, 2000, said the Canadian government is treaty-bound to “cooperate” with an inquiry called by the UN. “You would think both Ottawa and its national police force, the RCMP, would have taken action on these deaths and disappearances years ago,” he said. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, both Ottawa and the RCMP, especially the RCMP, seem to be shot through with an endemic case of misogyny.”

In light of the apparent indif ference of Canadian authorities, Crey said he is not surprised by the call for an inquiry by the UN’s Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.

“With these old school attitudes towards women permeating both the halls of power in Ottawa and the RCMP, is it any wonder that aboriginal women’s advocacy organizations in the countr y sought the inter vention of the UN to inquire into the disappearances and deaths of so many aboriginal women?”

The CFAIA and the Native Women’s Association of Canada called for the UN inquiry after documenting more than 600 cases of missing and murdered

aboriginal women and girls in Canada.

A B.C. inquiry headed by former AttorneyGeneral Wally Oppal into police handling of the cases of missing women who became victims of serial killer Robert Pickton has lost credibility since the B.C. government refused to fund legal assistance for groups representing sex trade workers and others.

Crey’s sister Dawn is believed to have been a victim of Pickton’s because her DNA was found on his Coquitlam farm. But her case is one of many that never came to court after Pickton was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder in December, 2007.

NWAC president Jeannette Corbiere Lavell said “aboriginal women in Canada experience rates of violence 3.5 times higher than non-aboriginal women,

day. The only time I didn’t see him outside was when he was sick.”

Many students at Greendale are still talking about Mr. Q’s influence.

“The older kids talk about Mr. Q to the little guys all the time,” said Scott. “Even our kindergarten and Grade 1 kids who didn’t get a chance to meet Mr. Q, their siblings have made sure that his memory is still alive and well here, so those kids feel like they knew him too.”

Mr. Q was also a leader in the running community. He regularly participated in the Terry Fox Run, Run for Water, Hope Classic, and other fundraising runs.

“He got so many people committed to running, it was incredible,” said Scott, who spoke from firsthand experience. “He trained me for my very first half marathon and I never thought I’d be able to go further than three kilometres.”

That was the power of Mr. Q. Mr. Q never went on a run without a bandana wrapped around his head; a quirk his students relentlessly teased him about. And so, it only seemed natural for Greendale’s cancer fundraiser to be a bandana fundraiser.

Bandanas were sold at the school for $5, and raised just over $800, half of which went to a Greendale family undergoing cancer treatment, and the other half towards rebuilding the playground at the school.

On Tuesday, twothirds of the school ran with bandanas wrapped around their heads.

“This was not a sad day, it was a lift-yourspirits day, a very positive, upbeat day,” said Scott. “It was Mr. Q Day – a celebration of what he stood for.”

The school hopes to make Mr. Q Day an annual event.

“Now was the perfect timing because I think the healing is there,” said Scott.

“The memory of the good stuff, that’s what we want to keep going.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

WHAT’S

NEW

U?

www.theprogress.com

2339-04

A new way to keep in touch with your U This new monthly feature in The Chilliwack Progress aims to highlight UFV programs, students, community partnerships, donors, and activities.

We hope you enjoy keeping up with your university.

If your company would like to be a community partner of UFV, sponsor this page, or help UFV in some other way, contact Harv McCullough at harv.mccullough@ufv.ca.

Community partnerships key to UFV success Our community partner of the month is Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO).

Look what’s coming to the Canada Education Park!

T

he University of the Fraser Valley is planning a big move.

We’ll be leaving our Yale Road campus, which we’ve called home since 1975, and going to an exciting new building at the Canada Education Park (CEP).

Our Chilliwack-based programs will join our Trades and Technology Centre, which has been open at CEP since 2007.

Making the move across town will be our Health Sciences and Agriculture programs, as well as the many academic and applied courses we offer in Chilliwack each year.

Our performance theatre will remain at the Yale Road campus for the near future. The Yale Road campus is for sale, but UFV plans to lease back the theatre until at least 2015.

In keeping with the Health Sciences and Wellness focus of the new campus, UFV will also begin to

offer some courses in kinesiology at CEP, including a full first year.

The new facility is part new construction and part renovation.

Originally built as an engineering school for the Canadian Forces, the building is currently undergoing an extreme makeover.

It will house programs, classes, labs, and offices that are currently spread out over the Yale Road campus. The new building will provide a vibrant, welcoming modern space for students, faculty, and staff to learn together and socialize.

It will feature an aboriginal gathering place, a studio theatre, new labs and classrooms, and a covered hall that will be a hub of activity.

Set on the beautiful CEP campus, the new location will provide UFV students with plenty of recreational options. It’s also adjacent to the very popular Garrison Crossing neighbourhood.

With bistros, coffee bars, yoga studios, and a recreation centre nearby, it will be a true university district.

And while the new building is essentially a replacement of the Yale Road campus, the 84 acres UFV owns at the Canada Education Park mean that the university has room to grow for decades to come.

The $45 million project received $14.6 million in funding from the provincial government and $3.2 million in funding from federal government via the Knowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP).

Including the adjacent UFV Trades and Technology centre, UFV will offer about 1,700 fulltime equivalent student spaces in Chilliwack. This translates into approximately 3,000 students taking courses in Chilliwack.

In March 2003, the City of Chilliwack, the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation, Canada Lands Company and additional

partners, signed a memorandum of understanding to officially launch the Canada Education Park project.

The 200-acre site is destined to be a major centre for adult education, research, and training facilities.

Currently this “destination campus” is home to: • University of the Fraser Valley • RCMP Pacific Region Training Centre • Canada Border Services Agency • Justice Institute of British Columbia • Department of National Defence • Canadian Police College • Correctional Service of Canada

CEPCO is a proactive, business-oriented organization responsible for the marketing and facilitation of economic development for the City of Chilliwack.

CEPCO supports UFV by providing: • leadership with the acquisition and development of the UFV Canada Education Park campus • sector expertise and input to grow UFV’s Agriculture program • assistance with the sale of UFV’s Chilliwack North (Yale Road) campus • guidance on a number of other partnership projects.

CEPCO continues to work with several public and private parties to make industrial, commercial and institutional lands available for development or investment. One area of potential growth is Canada Education Park.

For more information about CEPCO, contact: info@chilliwackpartners.com or visit: www.chilliwackeconomicpartners.com

• Fisheries and Oceans Canada • Parks Canada.

Under Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation’s leadership and inspiration, Canada Education Park continues to grow and advance its status and stature within the community and beyond.

Help equip a healthy new campus There are many opportuniƟes for you to support UFV’s new campus at the Canada EducaƟon Park, which has a special focus on Health and Wellness. With your donaƟon, you could sponsor and receive recogniƟon for: • a medical mannequin • a dental suite (chair and equipment) • a health sciences lab • agriculture equipment • Aboriginal Centre enhancements and artwork.

For more stories and events from your U, visit ufvtoday.ca

We also have naming opportuniƟes available for our grand entrance hall and other areas on campus.

NDP on a roll

The BC NDP is on a roll. The party is comfortably ahead of the BC Liberals in the polls, and it was in a celebratory mood as it marked its 50th anniversary over the weekend.

Unlike many parties where a former leader has quit as a result of backroom squabbles, the decision a year ago of former leader Carole James to quit opened the door to revitalization of the party.

James has remained part of the provincial NDP team and plans to run in the next election. Her positive response to a difficult situation showed that the party has matured a great deal, and this has been a boon to the party at a time when the Liberals have major challenges.

New party leader Adrian Dix has been firmly in command of the party since taking over in April, and as much as is possible within any caucus, the party appears to be united and focused on winning the next election, which is a very real possibility.

The NDP have had help, of course. The emergence of the BC Conservatives under a seasoned political pro, John Cummins, has drained support from the Liberals and made it quite likely that the NDP will benefit in the next election. People who won’t vote NDP but are fed up with the Liberals now have an alternative.

With the very real possibility of an NDP government, the party will have to start answering some questions. While a detailed party platform won’t be released any time soon, it needs to come out long before the next election campaign, which will begin in April, 2013.

One of the most important issues that the NDP must take a stance on is public sector union contracts. The party is deeply connected to organized labour, which is increasingly dominated by public sector unions.

These unions and their members have it pretty good. They need to accept their privileged position and not ask for wage or benefit increases until the economy improves. Many taxpayers are hurting and are unable to absorb higher costs.

The NDP must signal its ability to be a government free of union domination. ~ Black Press

The B.C. justice system’s weak third leg VICTORIA – Attorney General Shirley Bond is coming off another busy week, announcing new sheriff and clerk training for B.C.’s constipated court system.

Then Bond joined Premier Christy Clark to introduce B.C. to another kind of sheriff, the former Los Angeles district attorney best known for busting up one of the biggest nests of crooked cops in U.S. history. Richard Rosenthal went on to clean house as independent monitor of police forces in Portland and Denver, and now he takes on B.C.’s troubled police patchwork, which has been losing the public’s confidence along with the courts.

Bond’s other ministry, Public Safety and Solicitor General, announced its senior officials had selected the next commanding officer for the RCMP in B.C. It is unprecedented for a province to do that, but as B.C. gets ready to

sign a new 20-year contract with the federal force, Bond and Clark are trying to demonstrate that they, not Ottawa, are now wearing the pants in this relationship. We’ll see.

As the police and court legs of B.C.’s justice system were being strengthened, Auditor General John Doyle released his latest report on the shaky third Tom leg, corrections.

FLETCHER In a masterpiece of understatement, Doyle’s office headlined its news release “Opportunities for improvement in community corrections.”

You have likely heard about the overflowing B.C. jail system, where even segregation inmates are now being doubled up, as the

long wait continues for a new jail in the Okanagan.

But as Doyle’s report sets out, nine out of 10 convicted adult offenders aren’t in custody.

They’re on house arrest or probation, many with court-ordered conditions to report their whereabouts, stay away from their victims, stay sober and complete various rehabilitation programs.

Many are violent. There are currently 24,000 of them, an all-time high and an increase of 28 per cent in the past six years.

As with the jail population, a larger proportion have mental illness as well as addiction. And Doyle found that only about a third of them actually complete the programs they are supposed to take to prevent re-offending.

Corrections branch officials say their program for male spousal abusers has a success rate of up to 50 per cent. That’s a pretty

good result for an awful crime, the second-largest category of offenders after impaired driving. But that success rate only applies to offenders who actually complete the program.

Doyle found several cases where convicted abusers breached their orders to stay away from a spouse, and were not returned to court.

There are undoubtedly more, but B.C.’s 450 probation officers can’t keep all the files up to date, much less punish every breach of conditions. Training hasn’t kept up either – fewer than half of current probation officers have completed the ministry’s anti-spousal abuse course.

The NDP deplores all of this and has decades of practice doing so. The part about offenders not completing their rehabilitation reminded me of Dave Barrett in the late 1960s.

In his autobiography, Barrett

tells how he got into politics because prisoners in B.C. jails weren’t able to complete vocational programs. Barrett was a social worker at the old Haney Correctional Institution.

By 1970 he was Opposition leader, demanding that the W.A.C. Bennett government shut down Haney, by then notorious for trades training that prisoners weren’t locked up long enough to finish. Each inmate was costing B.C. more than $4,000 a year, a huge sum wasted, Barrett thundered in the legislature.

Today, Doyle calculates B.C. jails cost $71,000 per inmate per year, or $194 a day. Community supervision spending works out to $7 a day.

Lilee-Jean’s family says thanks To all those who love LileeJean, It is nearly two months since my family was sitting around our mum’s table sharing what we were thankful for over Thanksgiving dinner. Family. Friends. Health.

Love. Faith. These are all words that were tossed around. Three days after that meal, our lives and the understanding of what we have to be thankful for were all thrown for a loop.

Jump forward to present day, we’re nearing Christmas, but again, we are realizing just how much we have to be thankful for.

It’s hard even to know where to start as so many people and businesses have been doing so much for Lilee-Jean and the rest of the family.

I wish I could individually name each and every one of you – but it would take a letter too long for the paper to print!

We are so thankful that we live in a community that really unites around its citizens and has so completely and overwhelmingly stepped up to the plate to offer support and so, so, so,so much love.

Thank you to all the newspapers and radio stations who have

spread the word.

Thank you to all the businesses who have put out jars, donated prizes, silent auction items, food, space, and so much more.

Thank you to all those who have taken it upon themselves to run and organize fundraisers.

Thank you to those who have given of their time and finances.

Thank you to those who have shared Lilee’s story with their own family and friends.

And Thank you to all who have shown their love for Lilee and her family through their words of love and encouragement and prayers. Thank you that as a community you have all been so amazing in so many ways. All this love really keeps us going.

We all want to have an impact in our world and to make a dif-

ference, and it’s awesome to see how Lilee-Jean’s little life is already doing just that. She has really brought people together and shown us what an amazing place the Fraser Valley is. plus because of her, we’ve seen so many huge donations made to Children’s Hospital.

Lilee-Jean turned one last Monday (Dec. 5th) and it has been an exciting week since then!

Part of that excitement came with Nickelback’s announcement that they and their producers were each donating $50,000 to Children’s. Part of the excitement came as we saw the crazy amount of support at the bottle drive in Abbotsford on Saturday, and as we drove by Lilee-Jean’s light display on Hymar Drive.

But the biggest excitement came as we got Lilee-Jean’s MRI results on Friday, and were told that her tumor has shrunk in half after these first two rounds of chemo!

On behalf of Lilee-Jean and all her family, thank you all for your encouragement and prayers. But please do keep it up. We love you all!

Strata rules should not restrict access outsiders.

However, common sense should rule. No political candidate is going to hassle a potential voter to the point that the voter becomes “turned-off” on that candidate.

I have seen examples where some strata managers will come charging down the road, screaming like a wounded elephant and using foul language to make their point. The fact that their signage on the front gate is breaking the federal law does not register with them, even after being told.

It is unfortunate here in Chilliwack that

the election Returning officers for these campaigns don’t seem to be aware of this law and if they do, they conveniently ignore it. It is the responsibility of the Returning Officers as well as the RCMP to advertise this law prior to an election.

Again, why some strata managers think that they have a “Godgiven” right to restrict law-abiding candidates from entry mystifies me. It is long overdue that Chilliwack joins the rest of Canada in enforcing this federal law without having to lay charges against the perpetrators.”

or property manager can restrict access to political candidates or to their canvassers, so long as access is during daylight hours.

There is a potential fine for anyone caught breaking this law. This law is for municipal and provincial campaigns, as well as federal.

I fully realize that such strata councils are tired of seeing religious persons, or salesmen, or – even worse – potential thieves, entering the property. Such people often hassle the residents unnecessarily.

Since many of the residents are elderly, this makes it more necessary to control access to

There is an election issue that has received no attention locally in the five years that I have lived in this area.

The issue is one of the policy of strata councils, residences and apartment buildings to place “no trespassing” or “no admittance” signs at their front entrances.

This is obviously meant to limit access to anyone who does not live in the complex. The only real problem with this is that the strata is breaking a federal law, Bill 81, in the process. Bill 81 was passed distinctly to address this issue. This federal law says clearly that no building manager

“First Nations and aboriginal peoples have a good understanding of their health challenges and goals, and this partnership with Fraser Health will help us reach those goals sooner,” Chief Charlie said.

Chief Maureen Chapman, Sto:lo Nation Chiefs Council representative said “there is no doubt that we can see change in First Nations health outcomes in this region” as a result of the partnership that will “specify initiatives and milestones” of aboriginal communities.

There are 32 aboriginal communities in the region with varying needs and capability of engaging with the Fraser Health Authority.

The accord specifies that no community should be forced into region-wide health strategies, but that no community should left behind.

Preventing copper thefts COPPER from p3 Hope RCMP responded to one report of possible wire theft on Dec. 12 and found a 41-year-old Chilliwack woman sitting in a van containing copper wire and cutting tools. She was taken into custody and is facing a charge of theft over $5,000.

“The police often receive reports of thefts long after they happen,” Hollingsworth said. “By that time it’s often too late for us to identify those responsible as they have already left.”

On the other hand, some wire theft incidents are not reported

12/11H_UFV15

at all.

The RCMP is asking the public to keep an eye out for suspicious activity, especially around hydroelectric substations, and they are warning businesses to take steps to protect anything made with copper.

That includes building materials, plumbing, air conditioning units, gutters and electrical components, “taking as many precautions as possible to protect these items is the best way to prevent theft,” Hollingsworth said.

Here are some more police tips to prevent copper theft: ■ use fluorescent paint or

engraving to brand copper materials with your company’s logo; ■ install motion-sensor lights or security cameras; ■ store tools and wire-cutters in a secure location; ■ do not leave copper materials exposed at worksites; ■ lock buildings and compounds at night; ■ hire security.

Hollingsworth said copper theft is “rampant” throughout the U.S. and Canada as its value has increased over 700 percent in recent years. “You can no long afford to leave your copper wire unprotected,” she said.

Chilliwack RCMP are asking for public help identifying three men who pushed a 21-year-old woman to the ground and stole her purse.

One of the suspects pulled a knife in the 12:30 a.m. attack Dec. 3 outside the Newmark Apartments located at Yale Road and Victor Street.

“An incident like this was obviously very frightening for the woman,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.

“We are hopeful that someone saw something that can help us identify the suspects involved.

“We buy a lot of class rings, mismatched earrings and broken necklaces,” ICC spokesman Mark Cooper says.

With the prices for gold and silver trading high, many people are

looking for ways to turn their cache into cash.

The ICC rep said they are expecting to spend a quarter of a million dollars in Chilliwack alone.

“Just a small handful of gold can add up to hundreds of dollars very quickly,” Cooper says.

Old coins are also very valuable.

An ultra-rare 1894 S Barber dime sold for a whopping $1.9 million in 2007, he said.

Clean out drawers, lock boxes, jewelry boxes and come to the show for a free evaluation. While meeting one-on-one, specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an offer to purchase all gold coins, silver coins made before 1965 and paper money printed prior to 1934.

“The amount of the offer depends on the silver or gold content, the collectability, the rarity and the condition of the items,” he said.

When an offer is accepted, a cheque can be issued on the spot.

The show hours Dec. 13-17, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Their most famous cow, Elmbridge FM Loveable, a Canadian national champion, is actually a cross of Pete’s maternal line with Nicole’s paternal line and was named the best bred and owned cow in the red-and-white Holstein show at the 2011 World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin.

Brooke Smith is the third generation of Smith’s to operate Marigold Nurseries.

Started by her grandfather, Les Smith, in 1944, Marigold now operates wholesale nursery and retail garden centres in Victoria and Duncan.

The nursery has over 100,000 square feet of greenhouses, growing 22,000 garden mums, 20,000 poinsettias and thousands of other annuals every year. After most were destroyed in the 1996 snowstorm, the greenhouses were almost all

rebuilt before the next growing season.

To be eligible for the Outstanding Young Farmer award, farmers must be between 19 and 39 years and derive at least two thirds of their income from farming. Nominees are judged on conservation practices, production history, financial and management practices, and community contributions.

The tough task of having to select one winner from these outstanding candidates falls to BMO agriculture account manager Lana Dueck, Ritchie Smith CEO Des Gelz and Chris Byra of Greenbelt Veterinary Services in Chilliwack. They will announce the winner at the 10th annual BC Agriculture Industry Gala in Abbotsford, on Wed. Jan 25, 2012.

Currently a 400-sow farrow-tofinish hog operation, Sundance Farm is the only Fraser Valley hog farm with both its own on-farm feed mill and its own boar stud. In 2010, its sow herd was ranked number one in the Hypor benchmarking awards.

Ritchie Bros: Billion-dollar business online Robert Freeman The Progress Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, which opened a 24-acre auction site in Chilliwack last year, has broken through the billiondollar mark in used equipment sales — online.

“We sell millions of dollars of trucks and equipment to online bidders at each auction in Chilliwack,” said Vicki Cunningham, Ritchie’s communications supervisor.

She said about 40 per cent of equipment sold at Chilliwack auctions is “typically” purchased by online bidders, based on dollar value.

Nearly 10,000 bidders have registered for the four auctions held so far this year at

“

We sell millions lli off d dollars ll off trucks and equipment to online bidders at each auction in Chilliwack ~ Vicki Cunningham

”

the Chilliwack site e in 2011 more than 4,000 of those were online.

Company officials said online bidding has made it easier for Ritchie Bros. customers to buy equipment on a global scale, more than 190,000 online bidders in 118 countries registered for auctions so far in 2011.

introduced The company comp real-time, online bidding in 2002, and now claims sales of more construction, transportation and other equipment over the Internet than any other auctioneer in the world — more than $5-billion U.S. worth since 2002.

The company’s Chilliwack auction site on Industrial Way,

which opened in March, 2010, features a 500-seat indoor theatre where bidders can watch as wheeled equipment is rolled up a ramp in front of them.

A company spokesman said the three Ritchie brothers tapped into the undiscovered market of used equipment sales when they held their first auction out of necessity in Kelowna in 1958 when a bank called in a loan.

With no cash, the brothers rented a hall to hold an auction to sell used equipment.

Ritchie Bros. auctions are “unreserved” meaning no starting price is set for any item, a principle the company still follows today. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Twas the Night brings singers out

Damien Carriere plays the magician Dr. Drosselmeyer in the holiday favourite the Nutcracker Ballet in Vancouver Dec. 15-18.

Local magician to charm Nutcracker The Nutcracker Ballet is a magical production is filled with elaborate sets, gorgeous costumes and live music from the pit by members of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra.

Featured this year are dancers from New York’s prestigious, American Ballet Theatre.

They will share the stage with over 200 local dancers.

Besides being Tchaikovsky’s most famous composition, The Nutcracker is also regarded as one of the world’s most popular ballets. This lavish production is produced

by Chan Hon Goh, former Prima Ballerina with The National Ballet of Canada, and choreographed by Anna-Marie Holmes, an internationally acclaimed luminary of the dance world.

“Goh Ballet’s celebrated production of The Nutcracker is filled with imagination

and something for everyone; whether one is seeing dance for the first time or is a seasoned dance aficionado. Award-winning dancers, gymnasts, ballroom couples and even an illusionist bring the ballet to life with our special guest artists from American Ballet Theatre.

“All of this provides an unforgettable live performance experience that has truly become Vancouver’s own Holiday Tradition,” said Chan Hon Goh. • Nutcracker Ballet by the Goh ballet at the Centre for Performing Arts in Vancouver, Dec. 15 to Dec. 18, tickets starting at $28 at www.ticketmaster.ca/search?tm_link=tm_ header_search&q=goh+ballet+nutcracker&se arch.x=0&search.y=0” Ticketmaster.ca or by calling 1-855-985-2787.

A Chilliwack magician is performing in the Nutcracker Ballet by the Goh ballet at the Centre for Performing Arts in Vancouver Dec. 15 to 18.

Damien Carriere will be dazzling audiences as Dr. Drosselmeyer the magician — thoroughly believable in the role since he performs all over the world as a magician, illusionist and actor.

Born in Oliver, Carriere’s interest in magic was piqued at the tender age of three, when his dad showed him three simple magic tricks. By 14, the young prestidigitator was on his way to making it his career.

Since then the award-winning Carriere has been busy performing his magic, as well as acting in commercials, movies, TV show and plays, after graduating with distinction from the Victoria Motion Picture School Acting Program in 2002.

Vocal octet Pieces of Eight is joining in song with the Kwantlen Chamber Singers on Wednesday Dec. 21 in the Rotary Hall of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, for Twas the Night, a joyous celebration of family Christmas traditions.

“There will be well-known songs and carols, all tied up with Pieces of Eight flair!” says director and producer Nicola Davies.

They’ll be featuring everything from Silent Night to musical theatre in the cosy Rotary Hall. The concert will showcase the octet’s eclectic range of styles, complemented by the talented Kwantlen singers, who are bringing to the stage some of their more light-hearted pieces along with Christmas favourites.

Kwantlen Chamber Singers is an auditioned ensemble that plans to travel to several high schools in the new year to perform.

Pieces of Eight is a Chilliwack vocal group that formed a few years ago specifically to sing an English madrigal. Fast forward three years and they have performed an annual benefit concert each year in Chilliwack, this past July raising a total of $1,500 for the Ann Davis Transition Society.

The group chooses a new local charity each summer to support, and also performs at several events throughout the year. Their 2010 Christmas concert was sold out, Davies was happy to report.

At the Wednesday night show at the Cultural Centre, the two vocal groups will take to the stage together to present “a few selections en masse,” says Davies.

To round out the evening, concert attendees can show up any time after 7 p.m. to sample some complimentary apple cider and goodies from Nicola’s Cookie Shop.

• Twas the Night: with Pieces of Eight and guests the Kwantlen Chamber Singers, at the Cultural Centre Rotary Hall, Wednesday Dec. 21, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at the door, suggested donation $10. For information contact nicoladavies@live.ca, or see the Pieces of Eight website: www.

The Downtown BIA’s Christmas in the City continues with a Winter Carnival on Dec. 17.

Carnival rides, children’s games, Santa Claus and classic holiday movies are coming to Princess Avenue and Young Road as part of the Downtown Chilliwack Business Improvement Association’s Christmas in the City celebrations.

“Everything is free and the idea is to have people come down and shop for Christmas in a fun and festive atmosphere,” says Kathy Funk, Executive Director of the BIA. Donations for the local food bank are being collected at all Christmas in the City events.

“With beautifully decorated windows, carolers and candlelight shopping, this is Christmas shopping the way it was meant to be,” says Desmond Devnich, event coordinator.

The Winter Carnival starts at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 17 presented by Prospera Credit Union.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Happening Right Here in Chilliwack!

By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose.

They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections.

If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sellers market he said.

The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers.

So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Community Listening to others lightens their burdens Although a seemingly simple act and one that we do without even concentrating on it, few people have learned how to truly listen to others

when they speak. Often times, the words are heard, but the thoughts they convey are not accurately understood.

It takes time for some-

one to really listen and yet the results can be very positive for the person who has shared his or her thoughts. Being listened to allows a person

Wishing you a happy and a healthy holiday!

Winded and weary, Santa quickly became; As he struggled to call each reindeer by name.

“Enough is enough!” Santa did proclaim, He knew he only had himself to blame.

‘Twas two months before Christmas and in the North Pole Santa gobbled down his ninth sausage roll.

The reindeer did pant, their muscles did quiver, Their lungs did burn, but strength they could not deliver.

Christmas was coming, only two months away, Healthy living for all must be started today.

The time had come for the first practice run of the year, The sleigh piled high; harnessed were his eight reindeer.

In the air they hovered; but then soon did fall; In the snow they did crash, presents and all.

s’ baking No more of Mrs. Claus’ or trans fat filled treats, its and Only whole grains, fruits n meats. veggies, and healthy lean

The sleigh was polished, shiny and red, And the reindeer were looking a little too well-fed.

Out of shape and overweight they realized they were, This Christmas could be difficult, Santa worried for sure.

Their bellies were rounder, their cheeks much more plump; They were fatter throughout, from their nose to their rump.

The past year was spent fascinated with the computer and T.V., Santa and his reindeer didn’t get much physical activity.

ould be A training program would followed most days of thee week To help Santa and reindeer improve their physique.

With great effort Santa climbed into his present-filled sleigh, He then realized how much more this year he did weigh.

Too many snack foods and couch time got in the way Of eating fresh veggies and walking 10,000 steps everyday.

Short stay for Ethier ends abruptly With eight goals and 14 assists along with 28 penalty minutes in 26 games, Ethier was near point-per-game status with the Ice Wolves.

That part of his game never came west, and while he may have thought of himself as a top sixer, his on-ice performance didn’t warEric J. Welsh, rant it.

winning streak to seven.

The third place Chiefs are also looking to put more space between themselves and the fifth place Spruce Kings in the Interior conference standings.

Coming into the weekend, Chilliwack’s 18-9-0-1 record puts them six points up on Prince George (13-12-23), with two games in hand.

Chilliwack and PG have met twice already this season, with the Chiefs taking both meetings. Chilliwack won 4-3 in overtime Nov. 4, with Trevor Hills sniping the winner on a penalty shot.

The Chiefs edged the Sprucies 3-2 in Prince George Nov. 30, with

another GWG from Hills.

PG has been muddling along at a winone-lose-one pace for a while.

Last weekend saw the Spruce Kings lose 4-3 at home to Merritt Friday, tie the Westside Warriors 3-3 on Saturday and beat the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 4-1 on Sunday.

The Silverbacks are the Saturday opponent for the Chiefs, who hit the road for a long trip to Salmon Arm. Chilliwack has owned the Silverbacks this year, taking all four head-to-head meetings.

The teams played six days ago, with the Chiefs taking a 4-1 decision at the Sunwave Centre.

The Silverbacks have slipped to seventh in the Interior conference standings, with only the Trail Smoke Eaters sitting between them and the bottom.

Further clouding the offensive outlook is the fact that Zug, Switzerland, native Devin Muller will be headed to Red Deer, AB, on Saturday. He’ll try out for his country for the World Junior Championships on Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Calgary and Edmonton.

“I’d love to have him back but this is an opportunity of a lifetime,” said Salmon Arm head coach and general manager Colin O’Hara.

Sunday pits the Chiefs against another team they’ve had good

fortune against.

Chilliwack visits the Wesbuild Centre in Vernon, taking on a struggling Vipers squad.

The defending Canadian champs have scuffled to a 14-12-1-2 record, good for fourth in the Interior conference.

The Vipers made a move Sunday night to address their inconsistent play, picking up Victoria Grizzlies captain Sean Robertson in exchange for the rights to Zach McPhee and future considerations.

“He’s another captain and a guy who has played over 200 games in this league,” said Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson. “We needed to get a little

older on the back end, and with Luke (Juha) out, we needed some experience.

“We don’t expect him to be a saviour or anything. We just need him to be steady and be part of a shutdown pair (likely beside Ryan Renz).

He’s a pretty good allaround defenceman with RBC (Royal Bank Cup) experience. He’s a player we targeted for some time.”

The Chiefs have taken three of four headto-head meetings, with the three wins coming in convincing fashion.

Following this weekend, the next home game is Dec. 28 versus Prince George.

Chilliwack’s U-16 soccer Striker girls were home last weekend, facing the Coquitlam Force in the final game before the Christmas break.

The Force came in with a three game winning streak in their back pocket, but the home side ended it abruptly, dealing the visitors a 4-1 loss.

Just 17 minutes in, outside midfielder Kiana Thiessen sent a pass to center-mid Emma Haagensen, who beat one defender and leftfooted a pass to forward Haley Mainse. Mainse made no mistake, onetiming her shot into the net.

Mainse returned the favour five minutes later, setting up Haagensen for a far-corner shot.

The visitors got on the scoreboard in the 33rd minute on an attack down the middle and a shot that was chipped up and over the charging Chilliwack keeper.

Just two minutes later, Nikki Loewen sent an

aerial pass through center to breaking forward Emily Finley. Finley beat the lone Coquitlam defender, cut in front at the 18 yard box, and sent a perfect shot into the upper corner of the net. The first half ended with the home team up 3-1.

The onslaught continued in the second half. At the 17 minute mark, defender Sydney Richards send a crossfield pass to Kristy Ricard, who in turn sent the ball forward to Mainse.

From the side of the 18 yard box, she sent a perfect cross to Finley, who headed the ball into the Coquitlam net.

On a day where they finally converted on numerous scoring chances, Chilliwack came away with a 4-1 win.

The girls have a long layoff ahead.

The Strikers don’t return to game action until Jan. 8 when they travel to Surrey.

Chiefs Chi f riding idi hi highh Two very special guests will be in the building when the Chiefs hostt the Spruce Kings, writes Jacob Bestebroer The Chilliwack Chiefs are on a six game winning streak and have built themselves a slightt cushion for third place in the Interior conference. I don’t mean to jinx them by saying this, but the team record for most consecutive wins is 12 set during the 1995-96 season.

The Chiefs are six points up on both the Prince George Spruce Kings and Vernon Vipers, V ipers, and hold games in hand on both teams.

The T he Chiefs finish the pre-holiday portion of the schedule in Vernon on Sunday afternoon afterr vvisiting isiting Salmon Arm on Saturday.

Looking up, the Chiefs still trail the second place Merritt Centennials by three points. Butt they’ve also played four fewer games than Merritt.

A huge part of the Chiefs success this season has been their play on home ice where theyy have a record of 11-3-0-0. Only the high flying Penticton Vees, with one, have fewer home losses than the Chiefs. If they can keep theirr current pace they would finish with just underr the team record of 26 home wins, which is yett another team record set during the 1995-96 season.

Two very special guests will be in the building tomorrow night when the Chiefs host the Spruce Kings.

Both Santa and Lilee Jean Putt will be there, and I’m not sure which of the two is more famous right now.

By now I’m sure you’ve heard LJ’s story.

She’s had a rough few months but got some vvery ery good news last Friday when an MRI revealed her tumor had shrunk to half the size.

Local band Pardon My Striptease wrote a song called ‘Pray (for LJ)’ and it hit number one on ITunes last week, with all proceeds going to BC Children’s Hospital.

It’s an excellent song for an excellent cause.

The T he band also wrote and recorded the song ‘Go Chiefs Go’ which you can see on the videotron just before the start of each Chiefs home game.

LJ, her mom and her dad will all be taking part in the ceremonial puck drop prior to the game.

Also at Friday’s game, the Chiefs store will have new Chiefs scarves priced at just $8.99 for the first 75 customers. You can check outt the scarf with Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl modelling it (and looking like he’s ready for the cover of GQ) on both the Chiefs website and Facebook page.

Fan response to Fill the Rink for the Food Bank has been excellent so far. If you haven’tt heard, tickets for the Dec. 28 home game versus Prince George are just $5 with a donation to the Salvation Army Food Bank. Season tickett holders can bring a friend to the game for free, again with a donation to the food bank.

astroadvice ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, pretending to enjoy something you don’t like will not make for a productive week. Speak your mind. If something is bothering you, say so.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there’s nothing mysterious about a presentation that is made, which earns your interest. This could be a good opportunity for a change if you pursue it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are trying to purchase something that has sentimental value but you can’t seem to find the item you have in mind. Don’t devote too much

energy to the challenge.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 When someone at work makes an announcement, you are caught offguard by the news. It will take you a few days to recover, but then it’s business as usual.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 The cliche, “save for a rainy” day was never more appropriate, Leo. Your rainy day has arrived, and you may need to tap into saved funds just to get along.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others could find you’re acting irrationally, and that’s not within your

character. It could be time to step aside and regroup, which may paint a clearer picture of your behavior.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You have nothing on your mind except having fun, Libra, and that’s OK. Since you’ve been working so hard lately, it’s actually a good opportunity to do something to let loose.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, although things have been a bit hectic, you have found new strategies for not letting the stress affect your well-being. You’re enjoying the ride, instead.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, organization at home can go a long way to bringing a new outlook on your life. Think about eliminating some of the clutter that has taken over.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 It’s high time you share some of the responsibility with someone else, Capricorn. Managing everything yourself is a one-way ticket to getting stressed out. That’s not what you need.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, contrary to what you may believe, you cannot always be right in every situation. Thinking this way is counterproductive to your relationships and could affect friendships.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Rethink a financial strategy, Pisces.

Examine all the ins and outs and consider all the pros and cons before committing.

✞ Obituaries FRITSCH Edward Joseph

Aug. 31, 1938 - Dec. 11, 2011 Born to Pauline (nee Bahnuk) and George Fritsch in Muenster, Saskatchewan.

Edward FRITSCH moved to Vancouver in 1957 and took a job driving a parts truck in Vancouver for a year for Sherwin Motors. He attended telegraph school at night and in the spring of 1958, started summer work as a telegrapher for the Canadian Pacific Railway between Revelstoke and Field (the Rogers Pass area).

While on the job each summer Edward lived in caboose number 436178, working overtime and saving money for his education.

In the fall of 1959, Edward secured a leave of absence from the CPR to attend teachers college in Saskatoon, and was voted class president by his peers. A great believer in education, Edward went on to attend university at St. Peter’s College in Muenster (a Benedictine Abbey) where he established the yearbook.

(At St. Peter’s, Edward honed his Gregorian chanting that he later became famous for among students at Chilliwack Secondary).

Edward earned his honours Bachelor of Arts and a Masters degree in History in 1966. He taught Grade 8 and 9 in Jasper, Alta. for a year, where he spent his free time skiing in leather boots and wooden skis Edward elected to make a career of teaching and accepted a teaching position at Chilliwack Senior Secondary in 1967. He taught humanities to Chilliwack high school students in room 216 for almost 40 years. Later, he became department head of Humanities and Social Studies and taught several courses at the University of the Fraser Valley. Edward’s students were taught to write with clarity, to analyze what they read critically, to have an appreciation and interest in history, culture, politics, humour, and art.

Edward’s History 12 classes consistently ranked in the top 10 and 20 on the provincial exam. Edward regarded all of his students as his “beautiful children” as he sang to them

before every class. Edward retired in 2008 and continued to entertain and educate on the substitute teacher list in Chilliwack for several more years.

Edward married LindaBarbara (nee Busay) in Montreal in 1972. They welcomed son Ryan Edward in 1978 and daughter Kelly Michelle in 1982. They built a home on Little Mountain in 1986.

Edward was known to his neighbours for his meticulous landscaping and his family walks around the neighbourhood (always stopping for chit-chat), aided by his trusty hockey stick.

In 1995, he was approached by a student about taking a group of high school students to Europe. Edward’s initial reaction was to refuse, indicating that one would have to be insane to agree to supervise 15 teenagers on a student trip to Europe. However, he promptly relented, and led the students on his annual “Grand Tour” for almost 15 years. An avid traveller himself, Edward and Linda have visited over 20 countries around the world.

Edward is survived by his wife Linda, his children Ryan (Kate Sellar) and Kelly (Aaron Gordon), and his sisters Viola, Laura, Alexis, Linda, Brenda, and Joan, and many nieces, nephews and extended family. On August 8, 2011, Edward became “Grandad” to Jay Edward Fritsch.

Edward’s family wishes to acknowledge the nursing staff at NU5 Chilliwack General Hospital, and special thank you to oncologist Dr. Robert Winston of Abbotsford and family physician Dr. Lisa LeGresley of Chilliwack for their support and expertise. The family also wishes to thank the many life-long friends and loved ones, colleagues, and students who frequently visited Edward in the last few months of his life.

A public drop-in reception will be held in the Trillium Banquet Room at Minter Gardens from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday December 17, 2011 (all are welcome). In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to BC Lions/Easter Seals Camp Squamish.

It is with deep sadness we announce that Roderick Morris Gregor MacKenzie (Greg) passed MACKENZIE away on Friday, December 9, 2011.

Greg was born on May 18, 1920 in Duncan, BC, the youngest child of Hugh William and Sarah Ellen MacKenzie.

He joined the Canadian Army as a private soldier in 1939 and served for 30 years including 8 years in armed conflict in England, Italy, France, Holland, Germany and Korea. He was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) and retired as a Captain serving at

coffeebreak

CFB Chilliwack.

Greg embarked on a new career and served 16 years as Transportation Supervisor for the Chilliwack School District overseeing of operations of the school bus fleet. Greg and his wife Mary called Chilliwack home for 40 years. Greg was an active member of the Fraser Valley Shrine Club, the Mount Zion Lodge and the Korea Veterans Association.

Greg’s wife Mary passed away on January 19, 2011.

He is survived by his sons Rodrick (Linda) and Colin, daughter Maggie (George), granddaughters Monique and Mariette, grandson Justin (Karen and her son Aiden), great-granddaughter Emily and many friends.

A remembrance service will be held in the New Year at St. Stephen’s Church in Saanichton, BC, a place that is an important part of our family history and dear to our hearts.

Greg will be laid alongside his wife Mary.

Our family thanks Brian Donovan, and the wonderful staff at Langley Gardens for their loving care and support.

In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Shriners Hospital for Children - Canada, 1529 Cedar Avenue, Montreal, Quebec, H3G 1A6.
