Crime spree nets suspect and alligator Robert Freeman The Progress A Popkum resident has been charged in connection with a day-long crime spree earlier this month that had police in Agassiz and Chilliwack following a trail that included one woman’s emergency 911 call, one vehicle burning under the Agassiz/Rosedale bridge, one dust-up with a Chilliwack car dealer, one startled shopper in the Chilliwack Safeway parking lot - and one alligator. “They knew it was the same person linking them all,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said, about the trail of crimes police were tracking. But the challenge was assessing all the information coming rapid-fire into two RCMP jurisdictions, and catching the suspect before the next crime report. The spree began at about 5 a.m. on Feb. 11 when police responded to a 911 call from a woman on Bernston Road in Popkum. “While Agassiz police were clearing the residence, they discovered a small (marijuana) growop in the basement and an “exotic pet” that was later caught by animal control officers,” Wolbeck said. She would not disclose the nature of the 911 call, but the “exotic pet” was an alligator. B.C. conservation officer Steve Jacobi, sergeant in charge of the Fraser Valley area, said the alligator seized by conservation officers was a small American alligator about 28 inches long.

Late winter blast An early morning snowfall, coupled with plunging temperatures, created havoc on Chilliwack roadways Wednesday morning. Worst hit was Highway 1 just west of the Lickman overpass where two jack-knifed semi trailer units were part of multiple accidents on the road. Pictured above: A vehicle sits in a water-filled ditch after leaving a slippery Highway 1 while travelling eastbound; the driver finds warmth in a blanket. Right: Earlier fire crews helped pull the driver from the stricken vehicle. Despite all the accidents, there were no reports of serious injuries. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Board overrules objections for boundary change Katie Bartel The Progress A 27-signature petition wasn’t enough to sway trustees to vote against a motion to change school boundaries for Yarrow students. Nor was verbal opposition expressed from several parents attending Tuesday night’s board

meeting. Starting in September, middle school students living in Yarrow will be attending Mount Slesse middle school instead of Vedder middle. However, a one-time amendment was passed that would allow students going into Grade 7 next year with siblings already attending Vedder middle to attend VMS

if they so desired. The amendment affects four students. Parent Ingrid Schoolkate, who’s youngest child will be going into middle school next year, had great concerns going into the meeting and was adamant she did not want her son attending Mount Slesse. She was satisfied with the amendment.

“My son, from what I understand, has a choice because he has siblings [attending VMS],” she said following the meeting. “Ultimately it would have been good if all students were given a choice, but this is the next step.” Some parents expressed concerns regarding the short process, given they were only notified three weeks ago.

“The appearance is that it’s been done in haste,” said parent Dan Davis. Superintendent Corinne McCabe said that while there were suspicions of Mount Slesse’s enrollment continuing to decline, accurate projections weren’t available until early December. Continued: YARROW/ p8

Abby could be ‘spinster in the middle,’ mayor says Robert Freeman The Progress The City of Abbotsford is being wooed by the Fraser Valley Regional District to the east and by the Metro Vancouver Regional District to the west. But Abbotsford Mayor George Peary says the city “might become the spinster in the middle” and not join either, wiping out one whole

level of government by the move and saving its residents millions in taxes. “It’s not personal,” the mayor says. “It’s business.” An FVRD report released this week promises Abbotsford taxpayers a $715,736 cut in the amount of taxes collected by the regional government, which means the average residential taxpayer ($347,157 in assessed value) would see the

regional portion of their tax bill drop to $29.04 from $40.76 in 2010 - a 28.7 per cent reduction. The cuts are part of a regionwide restructuring, which would see Chilliwack’s tax requisition chopped by 20 per cent to $1.4 million from $1.8 million in 2010, and Mission’s drop by 20.4 per cent to $651,522 from $818,069 in 2010. FVRD chair Patricia Ross, who also sits on the Abbotsford city

council, says the $2.42 that each taxpayer would ante up monthly for membership in the FVRD “is a pretty good deal, really ... for all the many benefits we get from the FVRD” like emergency 911 dispatch, air quality, social and transit planning. But there’s also the “lobbying power” of the FVRD government to consider, she adds, which makes the city’s voice “far stronger” when

it comes to protecting taxpayers’ interests. “That’s not something we can quantify and put a dollar value on, but it’s certainly important,” she says. Peary says the city will study the FVRD report, but saving taxpayers an addition $1-million by pulling out of the regional district government is hard to argue with. Continued: ABBY/ p14

‘Boring budget’ leaves lots of room for new premier Robert Freeman The Progress It’s been tagged the “boring budget” by the media, but B.C. Finance Minister Colin Hansen gave an upbeat, folksy overview of the province’s financial status to Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce members Thursday. “Sometimes boring is good,” Hansen said, at the chamber luncheon. But afterwards, he told reporters the 2011 budget contains no tax cuts, no big spending announcements, to give the new premier, who will be elected by the B.C. Liberal Party Saturday, “as much flexibility as possible to run the province for the coming year.” He said it would be “inappropriate” to tie the hands of the new premier with any big budget promises. Still, the minister painted a rosy picture of the provincial economy under the BC Liberals for the Chilliwack chamber members. With corporate tax rates in B.C. cut by another 10 per cent last month, and the federal rate expected to drop by 15 per cent next year, the province is an “icon of strength” to foreign investors, Hansen said. “U.S. companies are looking to move into B.C. because we are once again competitive,” he said.

Trina Wright has been regularly walking the Rotary Trail by the Vedder River to help with the grieving process after losing her husband six months ago. Wright is now writing a book called 'From Grief to Joy and Everything in Between'. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Author turns tragedy into triumph The Progress Trina Wright isn’t a grief therapist, but she knows grief. Six months ago, the mother of four got a call no wife ever wants to receive. Her husband was dead. On Aug. 17, 2010, at around 2 a.m., 50-year-old Greg Wright, a commercial truck driver, was killed on Highway 1 when his semi-trailer drove over the curb and through the guard rails on the Vedder Canal bridge and plunged into the river. For days Wright refused to believe her husband was dead; he was just on the road, she kept telling herself. Every hour, she waited for his special ring tone to sound on her phone like it had so many times before, but it never did. She attended support groups

and skimmed through several grief books, but none of it resonated with her. Now, six months later, Wright is writing her own grief book. Through an online contest, Next Top Self-Help Author, which is also a publishing course, Wright has started writing From Grief to Joy, a book about the grieving process that uses her own experiences as the backdrop. She’s among 600 budding authors vying for the grand prize of a publishing contract with Conari Press, which is judging the 2nd annual contest. The contest is currently in the first of four rounds, where contestants are required to produce an audio or video pitch of their book. They are also encouraged to increase traffic to their online pitch. Wright hopes the Chilliwack

community will vote in favour of hers. From Grief to Joy is a book about finding the positives. “I didn’t want to be a victim,” Wright said. “I didn’t want my children to lose their mom too when they’d just lost their dad. But everything I read kept telling me to go sit in a sad place and let everything out, and that didn’t work for me.” Wright wanted the books to fix her, to make the pain go away, but she soon realized they couldn’t, no book could. “This is something that’s forever, it’s something you don’t ever get through,” she said. “But you have a choice. You can let it make you miserable, or accept it and move forward. “I made friends with my grief,” she said. “It’s not in front of me, it’s not behind me, it’s beside me.”

Wright doesn’t bottle up her emotions, she lets the tears flow when they need to. But in order for her, and her family to function, she found the best tool was to focus on the positives. So, she keeps a list of good things stored in her head for whenever her grief takes a strong hold. “I choose to find the good in the situation,” she said. “I have four great kids, and I didn’t start drinking, I didn’t run away. I got out of bed every morning – that’s a big deal.” From Grief to Joy, she said, is about presenting a different face of grief. Anyone interested in voting for Wright’s book can do so at www.nexttopauthor.com. and input 191 under the Author ID search engine. Voting ends on March 1.

Inspectors won’t pursue raw milk farm during court battle Jeff Nagel Black Press Health inspectors won’t launch any new crackdown of a controversial Chilliwack dairy farm while its founder pursues a court challenge that aims to legalize consumption of raw milk. Alice Jongerden appeared in B.C. Supreme Court Feb. 18 to try to overturn a March 2010 court order that barred her from producing and packaging unpasteurized dairy products. The court found the previous court action between Jongerden

and Fraser Health is concluded and her constitutional challenge should target the provincial government rather than the health authority. Jongerden’s lawyer, Jason Gratl, has now refiled the challenge against the Attorney General, alleging B.C.’s Public Health Act banning raw milk production as a public health hazard violates her constitutional right to liberty and security of the person and that penalties of up to three years jail and fines of $3 million are far too harsh. Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said the author-

Sewer project wrapping up

ity will take no further enforcement action against the current farm operator until Jongerden’s challenge is ultimately decided in court. “The government’s commitment to back away from aggressive prosecutions is a relief for us,” Jongerden said in a statement. “We now have some breathing room while the courts determine whether Canadians have a right to choose between whole and processed foods.” Jongerden last fall turned over the operation of her dairy farm to an Ontario raw milk advocate in order to avoid contempt-of-court

penalties. She intends to resume operations as a cow-sharing co-op to supply her 450 Lower Mainland members with raw milk if she’s successful in her challenge. Farm owners can legally drink the milk of their own cows, so it’s argued a cow share is likewise private consumption and not the illegal sale of raw milk to the public. The farm is currently operating as Our Cows and claims to sell milk-based cosmetics not for human consumption. Advocates claim raw milk is healthier than pasteurized but B.C. chief medical health officer Dr.

Perry Kendall has maintained raw milk can be contaminated with bacteria and poses a serious danger of illness. “We’re looking forward to cross examination of the chief medical health officer of the province, who has been vocal in his condemnation of fresh milk,” Gratl said. “We look forward to testing the strength of those convictions.” Gratl said he believes the current freeze on enforcement action goes beyond the Jongerden farm to other cow-shares and underthe-table raw milk sales elsewhere in B.C.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s one of the last neighbourhoods to be hooked up to the Chilliwack sewer system. Almost 450 properties in the Tyson-Stevenson area stand to benefit from a $3.8 million sewer upgrade, made possible by joint infrastructure funding from federal, provincial and municipal sources. It’s actually more than city officials expected. “We are pleased we were able to provide sewer service to more properties than originally planned and complete the project on time,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl was in Chilliwack Thursday to celebrate the “significant progress” made on the project. “These upgrades to the Chilliwack sewer system will improve the quality of the groundwater in the area, help to ensure the health of residents in the community, and create local jobs,” said Strahl. Project completion funding fell under the aegis of Economic Action Plan on the federal side, and were also part of the province’s $14-billion capital infrastructure program. The project will service 442 properties in the Sardis area, which is expected to eliminate public health concerns from malfunctioning septic systems, protect the groundwater, reduce greenhouse gas emissions with less trucking, increase the reliability of service, and create local construction opportunities. The federal government chipped in $1.26 million, or one-third of eligible project costs, through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. The governments of British Columbia and Chilliwack are providing the remaining two thirds. Affected property owners will be on the hook collectively for $787,948.98 of the total cost, which works out to $1,782.69 each. They’ll have the option of paying in full, or shelling out $167.69 per year including interest, over a 15-year period.

VICTORIA – B.C. Liberal leadership candidates have released donation totals in advance of Saturday’s vote to succeed Premier Gordon Campbell, following the lead of Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong’s campaign for more financial transparency. Party rules require donations to be declared after the contest, but de Jong led the way Feb. 11 by listing 181 individual and corporate donations totaling $266,450.

“This is the kind of information that the public is entitled to have, and so are the members of the hiring committee – members of the B.C. Liberal Party – prior to making their decision on Feb. 26,” de Jong said. Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon led the way with donations totaling $708,665, far exceeding the $450,000 spending limit imposed on leadership candidates. Former MLA and radio host Christy Clark collected $519,040, while Shuswap MLA George Abbott raised

just under the spending cap with $427,842 from more than 300 contributors. Falcon and Clark said donations beyond the spending limit will be given to the party to put toward debt from the 2009 election campaign. The largest donation to any candidate was $40,000 from Keg Restaurants to Falcon. Keg CEO David Eisenstat is a member of Falcon 20/20, a group of business leaders who raised money and signed up new members to support the former health and transportation minister. Aquilini Development and Construction Inc. gave $25,000 each to Falcon and Clark, and

Aquilini Investment Group gave $10,000 to Abbott. Both are family companies headed by Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini. Wall Financial Corporation also gave $25,000 to Clark’s campaign. The B.C. Liberal Party has also increased membership to nearly 90,000 as leadership candidates signed up members to vote in Saturday’s party election. A party spokesperson declined to comment on reports that 6,000 of those new members have been disqualified, but said total membership numbers will be disclosed with voting results on Saturday.

Sprinkler system helps contain apartment fire A fire sprinkler successfully doused flames that broke out in a Knight Road apartment suite Monday afternoon. When firefighters arrived at the four-storey building in the 45000block Knight Rd. at about 1:30 p.m. they found a small fire had set off the sprinkler.

There was minor fire, smoke and water damage to the suite. But there were no injuries, and two of the building’s occupants were provided with emergency accommodation. The fire is considered accidental, and is under investigation by fire department officials.

The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 45689 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Circulation’s Audit Board, Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.

Can we find a better way? Chilliwack can be justifiably proud of the renovations that have taken place at Chilliwack General Hospital over the past few months. Last week the community capped off the effort with an open house that marked not only the opening of the new expanded emergency department, but also the 100th anniversary of the hospital itself. But while the celebrations are warranted, it would be a mistake to assume the recent construction will end all the challenges faced by CGH and hospitals like it. The $35 million renovation was one of the most expensive capital projects undertaken in Chilliwack. It’s remarkable not only because of the $30 million in tax dollars that went into the work, but the $5 million that was raised locally by the Fraser Health Care Foundation through individual and corporate donations. The work was long overdue, and will position the hospital for the expected growth in the region for years to come. What it won’t do is help meet the biggest challenge facing hospitals: ongoing operating costs. Last week the provincial government tabled its budget for the coming year. It again highlighted the amount of money spent annually on health care in B.C. Despite continued efforts to rein in costs, the government expects healthcare spending to increase by $2 billion by

R AESIDE

2013. It already accounts for 42 per cent of total government spending in the year, or $17.58 billion. That compares with $11.38 billion for education (27 per cent), and $2.48 billion for social services (eight per cent). Reducing healthcare costs has been a national obsession for decades. Yet despite repeated assertions that the current level of spending is unsustainable, it continues to consume 42 cents of every dollar raised by the government. Solutions? There are no shortage of suggestions, ranging from an unfettered free market, to British-style salaried physicians. What is lacking is the political will to take these studies and suggestions and develop a cohesive strategy to reform healthcare delivery in a way that encourages efficiencies – without sacrificing care for those who need it. We then need a government with the courage to overcome the politics and myriad of special interest concerns to see to it implemented. It’s been said that healthcare in Canada is like the weather; everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it. But talk will only take us so far. The money spent on capital projects like hospital expansions will mean little if efforts to reduce costs remain as uncreative as cutting staff and limiting services. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Campbell exits, but his legacy is uncertain VICTORIA – Gordon Campbell was in a buoyant mood as he left the legislative chamber after his final question period as premier. “Free at last, free at last,” he said, quoting a traditional song made famous by U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The shackles of high office officially remain around his ankles for another week or so, but with a stand-pat budget awaiting the next premier’s priorities, his 27-year career as an elected politician is effectively over. Campbell’s place in B.C. history is secure on several fronts, including scheduled elections, reduced business and personal tax rates and a more mature relationship with Ottawa. There are at least two important areas where his achievements remain in doubt: aboriginal relations and climate change. In inter views last week,

Campbell said his greatest regret was the demise of the Recognition and Reconciliation Act. That law would have recognized a form of aboriginal rights and title across the province, essentially a huge outof-court settlement for the 90 per cent of B.C. that remains without treaty settlements. It all collapsed Tom pretty quickly, partFLETCHER ly because it was seen as a backroom deal that was to be pushed through before the 2009 election. The mining and forest industries were alarmed, the legislation was held back, aboriginal leaders took it to hearings, and chiefs around the province rejected it as a watered-down version of the rights they believed they could

win in court. It is remarkable that Campbell went from “professional Indian fighter,” as he was characterized by some after his 2002 referendum on treaty settlements, to the architect of the “New Relationship,” arguably a too-generous bid to untie B.C.’s biggest political knot. The Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties are important, but they were hashed out the old-fashioned way, with years and lawyers and consultants and sacks of taxpayers’ money. Two northern B.C. Liberal MLAs voted against them; the split remains. On aboriginal relations, Campbell started deep in his own end and carried the ball at best to midfield. On climate change, one could say he scored at least a field goal. When I sat down with him last week, he mentioned a recent conference in California he attended

with George Schultz, the economist and business executive who rose to be secretary of state for Ronald Reagan. With plans for a carbon trading system in disarray in the U.S., Campbell said Schultz pointed to B.C.’s revenue neutral carbon tax and said that is exactly what other jurisdictions should be doing to reduce greenhouse gases. By 2012, the B.C. carbon tax will account for just under seven cents on a litre of gasoline, on top of other fuel taxes B.C. and Ottawa continue to collect. It will set a “carbon price” of $30 a tonne across all fossil fuels. Campbell is convinced the carbon tax will survive, if not grow. He says leadership candidates should look at continuing the increases that are mandated until 2012, and continuing to offset them with personal and business income tax reductions.

One leadership candidate is already touting the benefits of the carbon tax, and surprisingly, he’s not a B.C. Liberal. The NDP’s John Horgan now admits he was wrong to oppose the tax, but he wants it extended to the non-fuel emissions of heavy industries. Horgan has also cautiously embraced Campbell’s other main climate effort, run-of-river hydro and wind power, although he wants public ownership through a new BC Hydro division. Campbell’s climate agenda will have to reach beyond today’s mainly symbolic effort and spread to other jurisdictions if it is going to change the course of B.C. history.

TO SERVE YOU BETTER!

Income improvements needed I was reading on Tuesday’s Progress the piece by Margaret Evans. While I agree with her that wages need to be higher for those earning minimum wage, I ask you to also look at the income of handicapped people. They also have not had an increase in years, they get only $920 a month, way, way below the poverty level of $22,229 a year. Out of their small amount they must pay their rent and utilities, plus 20 per cent of there medical and dental. As we all know handicapped people have expenses that the non handicapped do not have. If they work they can only

make $500 a month before the government claws back anything about that from there allowance. They can get an extra $200 a month if they work as a volunteer, that is like slave labour, they can’t earn the $200 if they are working and get $500. Try finding money for a movie, going for a swim. or any extras that might come up, how can they afford a pet and its needs. While most people can get employment try doing so if you have a handicap or learning problem. Yet everything I know about people with disabilities says they

work hard, don’t take time off as often. How do I know because I have a handicapped grand-daughter who has worked hard to get extra learning at UFV, has study and passed her family child care, yet still she finds it hard to get work. Still she keeps trying I’m sure someone out there will find her one day and give her a job, she deserves it will be happy to just be making her own money. So let’s think of all those who live on small incomes, not just the many.

of kindness, generosity and cultural education, just as formerly was done to the Aboriginal and Doukhabor families. Instead of English Catholic culture as in times past, now they are imposing Animist Aboriginal culture, not only in hospitals but in schools, airports, government buildings, and libraries. There are many of the traditional monotheist cultures in this community who are now a

minority, like Moslems, Sikhs and ultra-conservative Jewish, Christian Dutch Reformed and Mennonite people, who are being imposed upon by this publicly funded art. Most of you would agree that in this community, aboriginals are not a minority. Let’s not have a knee-jerk reaction of reverse racism to this concept, instead let us think this through maturely and honestly. I think it would be so much more appropriate

Premier Gordon Campbell provided national leadership and advocacy that resulted in the made-in-B.C. Transformative Change Accord. This tripartite agreement, inked by then-Prime Minister Paul Martin, Premier Campbell, and the Leadership Council of the day (including me) continues today. It is true that the Conservative government rejected the Phil Fontaine-led Kelowna Accord. The Harper government supports the made-in-B.C. Transformative Change Accord. It is this accord that created the space and opportunity that resulted in the Tripartite First Nations Health Plan. This tripartite health plan calls

Premier Campbell provided leadership and advocacy that created a significant opportunity for First Nations to take an active role in closing the gap in health status.

Lawyers killed aboriginal title legislation Re: Campbell exits, his legacy uncertain (B.C. Views, Feb. 23). I appreciated Tom Fletcher’s article regarding the Campbell legacy (see story, page 6). When it comes to the New Relationship, I share in the Premier’s disappointment that we could not advance the proposal for Recognition and Reconciliation legislation. I was a member of the Leadership Council then and I led the community engagement with First Nations leaders and citizens. I worked hard to air out issues, questions, and concerns, to inform us as we moved the work forward. Most unfortunately, the lawyers for industry, First Nations, local governments, and others recommended status quo to their clients. This advice, selfserving to the extreme, benefitted only the lawyers. Recognition and Reconciliation legislation

A Tradition of Exceptional Service...

The Chilliwack school district has made it official. On Thursday a press release announced the appointments of Maureen Carradice to secretary treasurer and Rohan Arul-Pragasam to assistant superintendent. Both had been acting in those positions for several months after they were vacated in November and December respectively. Carradice was previously director of human resources with Chilliwack school district and has a Bachelor of Commerce degree and a Masters of Education in Leadership. The official appointment was made just as the district starts working on the school budget for next year. Arul-Pragasam joins Ruth Wiebe as assistant superintendent. He came to the school district in 2004 and was principal of Vedder middle and Rosedale middle. He has a Bachelor of Science degree, a Bachelor of Education degree and a Masters of Education in Educational Administration and Leadership. Arul-Pragasam also has expertise in information technology and communications, and will continue to guide the district’s work in these areas of the Board of Education’s strategic plan.

Without Yarrow, Mount Slesse’s enrollment was expected to drop below 500 students next year, which would result in staffing and program reductions. The school’s capacity is for 650 students; 750 with portables. With the addition of the approximate 35 Yarrow students, Slesse’s enrollment would stay above 500 students. Trustee Heather Maahs, the only trustee who voted against the change, said that she didn’t believe all options had been explored. “I regret that this has become somewhat of a pitting one middle school against another,” she said. “However, I don’t believe this should be done in haste and I don’t believe a long enough process has taken place. “It’s not in the best interest of the students,” she said. Trustee Louise Piper disagreed. She said that as a board they needed to look at the needs of all students in the district, and while she sympathized that change is difficult, it’s still several months away, which would give students and parents ample time to adjust. “I get the concern, but this is the best thing for our district,” said Piper. “We have to consider 13,000 students and what the whole district will look like.” The boundary change is effective September 2011.

“It was contained in an atrium or some other container,” he said, and apparently did not have a permit as required by provincial “exotic pet” legislation. The alligator was moved to an “approved facility” where it will stay until a two-week appeal period expires when it will be moved to a permanent location. About 45 minutes after the 911 call, at 5:45 a.m., Chilliwack RCMP responded to a robbery report at the Tempo gas station on Hocking Avenue where a male had taken off on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. At 11:52 a.m. a man entered the Valu Auto Sales Sales on Young Road and asked to test drive a vehicle. When the salesman refused, the suspect grabbed the keys and took off in the vehicle, which was later found burning under the Agassiz/Rosedale bridge. It appears the suspect had earlier tried to switch vehicles, trying to steal a pickup truck in the Chilliwack Safeway parking lot on Young Road at about 1:04 p.m. “As the owner of the truck approached the vehicle, she saw a man sitting in the vehicle,” Wolbeck said. But after a “small altercation” with the woman, the man fled in

she said. Vangeel, 27, is charged with robbery, theft over $5,000 and possession of stolen property. Further charges are pending. Police told the AgassizObserver newspaper that firearm charges may be laid, and the house on Bernston Road had been a “concern” of area residents in the past. Wolbeck said the spree was brought to a “peaceful end” by the collaborative work of police officers in the RCMP’s crime reduction unit, serious crimes unit, forensic identification unit, and general duty officers from Agassiz and Chilliwack. “There were complicated files, and thank-

fully (it) was brought to a peaceful end before anyone was seriously hurt,” she said. Police are looking for two witnesses who may have important information about some of the events that day, a man named “Dave” who saw the suspect on Hwy 9 between the Agassiz/ Rosedale bridge and the roundabout at about 2:15 p.m., and another witness who was in the gas station at the time of the robbery. Anyone else with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or the Agassiz RCMP at 604-796-2211.

Cost savings are at the heart of a recent staff restructuring at Cultus Lake Park. “It’s a realignment of existing staff to maximize their skills and abilities, while providing a higher level of service,” said Ron Campbell, chief administrative officer at the park office. Ser vice deliver y costs at Cultus Lake Park were a concern cited by leaseholders in a recent survey by park board officials, and some efficiencies were sought to address them. One position, that of the park

patrol manager, has been eliminated completely. “That role has been assigned to the newly created manager of community services,” Campbell said. One person will now manage both of the park’s campgrounds, Sunnyside Campground, and Vedder River Campground, as well as taking care of visitor services through Cultus Lake Cabins. Park officials released an organizational chart recently describing the details of the recent restructuring and it can be viewed online. “One of the main goals was to

cut costs,” said Campbell. The changes will lead to substantial savings, but CAO said he couldn’t put a dollar figure to the changes “until the dust settles,” but suggested thing will work more smoothly. City of Chilliwack will no longer provide Cultus Lake Park Board with inspection services as of the end of June 2011. Consequently a merged staff position of building inspector and bylaw enforcement officer will cover those areas of responsibility, and it will replace the position of records clerk as well, said Campbell.

ATTENTION: Motorcycle Enthusiasts After 40 years of service, 3-D Cycles would like to inform all our valued customers that we are no longer a franchised Honda dealer. We were terminated as a Honda dealer as of December 31, 2010. This change was a decision made by Honda Canada.

Wheel Chair Scale AVAILABLE

Cultus undergoes reorganization CULTUS from p10 The executive assistant role also includes the title of corporate clerk, so those tasks can be performed by the assistant in the absence of the CAO. The organizational chart is available on the Cultus Lake Park website at http://www. cultuslake.bc.ca. “The only thing missing is the intersection of the (Cultus Lake Park) board on the top of the chart,” said leaseholder Brian Dick. “This group has failed previously to really believe that they are our guiding power and the ratepayers rely upon the elected officials to have in-depth analysis of any and all issues that are presented to the Park.” But Campbell said

the park board is at the top of the organization’s chart as whole, but that this was about staffing structure.

Ultimately the park has to become sustainable financially, said Park Board chair Sacha Peter.

“Financial implications were a significant consideration and cost savings will be achieved.”

News Outlook promising: finance minister Question: I ﬁnd that my eyes are looking tired all the time. The skin under my eyes has thinned out and I have lots of ﬁne lines developing …what can I do to improve my appearance without undergoing surgery? Natalie, Abbotsford

OUTLOOK from p3

Answer: There are many options available to improve the ‘tired look’. Eye Thermage improves skin tone and texture while effectively tightening and contouring the skin for an overall younger appearance. Results are long lasting, subtle and improve over time. Botox and Fillers can be used to restore lost fullness and enhance facial contours. The use of a good eye cream will help restore the elasticity of the delicate skin around the eyes and reduce visible ﬁne lines. To ﬁnish off your youthful appearance, Latisse™ can be used to enhance the growth of your own eye lashes to make them fuller, darker and longer. Dr. Marianna Snyman

B.C.’s economy and its markets have both diversified, and its no longer reliant on a single sector like forestry. Over one billion dollars was invested in mine development last year, Hansen said, and exports to Asia Pacific countries are growing, like the market for raw lumber in China. Job-creation is also back to pre-recession rates, he said, and taxes and fees paid by British Columbians is “less today than they would have (paid) 10 years ago.” While cuts in health care spending have been criticized, Hansen, who is also the health minister, said “you cannot measure the success of health care by how much money you throw at it.” He said success is measure in the medical outcomes, and B.C. is leading in life expectancy, leading in cancer survival rates, and has the second lowest infant mortality rate. The minister also touched on the sensitive issue of the harmonized sales tax. Hansen admitted doing a “terrible job” of introducing the HST, but he now sees a “palpable change” in the public’s anger. “There’s a lot more we could have done and should have done to explain (the tax) to B.C.,” he said, but he maintained the HST will result in a “higher standard of living” for British Columbians. Both Hansen and Chilliwack MLA John Les, who introduced the minister at the chamber lunch, are supporting Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon in the party’s leadership race. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Abby weighs its regional options

ABBY from p3 The city itself already provides its residents with six of the functions offered by the FVRD, Peary says, like regional growth planning and solid waste management, and could contract out others like mosquito control. “We have a lot more in common with people to the west, than people to the east - and that’s just the way it is,” he says. But the mayor doubts the city would join Metro Vancouver because of the onerous fuel tax imposed by that regional district. “We might become the spinster in the middle” he says, and not join either.

took an interest in Scottish country dancing. “It was during this time that I took up the bagpipes. I was taking lessons with these people who played the pipes and this led me to become interested in playing them,” he said. This was the beginning of the rest of his life for Evans determined that he wanted to entertain within the framework of the tourism industry. He now had a goal, the passion and determination to follow his dream and it came true. Shortly after his new found realization, Evans began entertaining at Minter Gardens and performances at Hell’s Gate followed shortly. “I was working six and sometimes seven days a week during the summer season out at Hell’s Gate. I loved the opportunity of meeting so many people,” he enthused. In the off season, Evans would either pick up his 12-string guitar or his bagpipes, wearing his kilt, to perform at a wide variety of functions in Chilliwack and throughout the Lower

Mainland. During his busy performing schedule, Evans found time to release two CDs, both of which received positive reviews. “Hell’s Gate is a unique venue and when I was performing there on a consistent basis, I had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people. Really, they are an international audience and they appreciated the

Evans classifies his music as Celtic/ Folk and in the not so distant future hopes to put out another album. “This one will feature music from Tyson and Lightfoot and others like them and I’ll even throw in some of my own stuff. What can I say, music is a way of life for me,” he ended.

he bagpipes have always had a strong connection with battle, war and the military. During World War I, 20-year-old Piper James Richardson, who was the son of David and Mary Prosser Richardson of Chilliwack, played his bagpipes during battle as a means of inspiring his company to successfully Ana rush MACEDO and capture their position. The instrument has the ability to stir one’s soul – evoking strong, powerful emotions. Evans Palmer was moved by such emotion and is proud to have the ability to convey it to others. Evans was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick but headed west at an early age. The family first settled in Saskatchewan before moving even farther west, setting in Chilliwack. “My family wanted to leave the east. My maternal grandmother lived in Vancouver so we had that connection,” he said. Music was part of the fabric of his family life. His father played the fiddle while his mother followed along on the guitar. He quickly developed a keen interest in guitars and by the age of 12 had learned how to play them proficiently. “I also come from a long line of singers. My maternal grandmother was actually quite musical. It’s in my genes,” he chuckled. Evans was painfully shy as a youngster and while he enjoyed school for the most part, he wasn’t into the social scene. “Back in those days I was rather shy,” he smiled. He began working in sawmills but was doing it to get by. He had no particular career aspirations. The one thing that he was passionate about was music. He started playing guitar and singing in the church choir and eventually

Local businesses and residents are being urged to help kids who have pinned their hopes on a mentoring relationship to get the guidance they require by changing into their bowling shoes and taking part in Bowl For Kids Sake 2011 – the most important fund raising event of the year for Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in the Fraser Valley. The action starts today (Feb. 25) at Chilli Bowl Lanes in Chilliwack at 5 p.m. when 12 teams of community-minded bowlers take to the lanes for some fun and fundraising. In all, 11 bowling events are planned for February, March and April and participants in those events are now fanning out across Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Hope to get pledges of support for their teams. In Hope and Chilliwack, information is available at www.bigbrotherandbigsisters.ca. “Donor support makes all of our youth mentoring programs possible, and the need has never been greater,” says David Sheach, executive director, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Abbotsford. “This campaign offers the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of local kids simply by forming a bowling team and collecting pledges. Not only is Bowl For Kids Sake a meaningful way to directly help kids, it’s also great fun.”

plants freeze, this will certainly minimize the severity of the frost. Be sure to water all the containers thoroughly as well. • If you’ve uncovered your roses, cover the bottoms of the plants back up with a good insulating material like sawdust or bark mulch. You’ll

need at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of protective material. Remember: tree roses have two grafts on the bottom and on the top and both need to be protected. • Most hardy (zone 6) flowering shrubs will be fine in this weather because temperatures have been cool enough to hold them back. However, I worry about mophead and lacecap hydrangeas Brian because MINTER their buds are now formed and are quite soft. If you can put three to four stakes tightly around them just above the plant and wrap them with a good insulating material, it will save the buds, especially if they are in a windy, exposed location. The more tender varieties of azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias and any other zone 7 or 8 broadleaved plants should be protected as well, especially if they are exposed to northeasterly winds. • Believe it or not, most the bulbs and perennials, that are just emerging, will be fine. Their flowers are still in the ground. Snowdrops and aconites will be okay too even if frozen solid. More tender perennials, those rated zone 7 and 8 and varieties like Spanish lavender and cape fuchsias, would benefit from a little mulching. If you have just planted some of the new flowering hellebores with fresh flowers, cover them with Remay cloth or insulating fabric to keep the flowers in fine shape. Continued: MINTER/ p22

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 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 thenresident showed me around, pointing out Continued: BARKER/ p21

On the trail of Ma Barker BARKER from p20 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 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 so the re-enactment

These Kids to drop first full-length CD Jennifer Feinberg The Progress These Kids Wear Crowns don’t get the royal treatment when they come off the road and head home to Chilliwack. “We don’t expect that,” says lead singer Alex Johnson. “We’re pretty grounded and don’t get all big-headed about these things.” The band includes Johnson, guitarists Joshua ‘Gypsy’ McDaniel and Joe Porter, bassist Alan Poettcker, synth player Matt Vink and drummer Josh Mitchinson. Since getting signed to a label in 2009, the boys have literally been living the rock and roll dream. “It’s been fast and fun and filled with new experiences,” Johnson says. “Everything has been taken up a notch.” For MySpace purposes they’re

The charismatic front man says he’ll sometimes get a break by helping out his mom with some yard work up in Ryder Lake, or checking out Major Leagues 2. “There’s been a lot of construction around town lately I notice,” he says. “Like the new Wal-Mart and that whole area. But aside from that I think Chilliwack is still the same.” It’s been a whirlwind for the boys in the past two years. TKWC caused a minor bidding war to break out between major record labels, Capitol Records/ EMI and Universal after they were hand-picked out of obscurity to appear on MuchMusic’s TV show, Disband, in the second season. They cozied up to MuchMusic types and got a real sense of the business and how it works. EMI Music Canada president Deane Cameron has called the band “incredibly talented and

called “power pop” or “party core” emphasizing the huge energy they put out on stage. Their world suddenly became a blur of stark contrasts last year, from the white-hot glare of television lights, or the gruelling hours in studio or travelling, to jumping on stage for screaming fans who dive into mosh pits. The Kids’ first full-length CD, Jumpstart, drops March 1, but Chilliwack fans will have to travel to Vancouver’s HMV store on Robson to see them perform live. But when they get some free time, some of the boys like to just chill out in the ‘Wack, the way they always did growing up in Chilliwack. Four of the members are Sardis secondary grads: Johnson, Poettcker, Vink and Porter. “We like to come home and be home, and not live the tour life,” says Johnson.

innovative,” and said they were thrilled to have them join the EMI family. The best part of it all for Johnson? “Not having to change who we are to do what we want to do,” he says. What has it meant for the boys to be signed by Capitol/EMI? “Nothing has really changed. But now we have that financial backing and it’s boosted our confidence.” Unfortunately they won’t be playing any hometown gigs to celebrate the CD release. “But we want to thank everyone for their support,” he says, sending out props to fans, family and friends. “We’ll work on playing a show here after the tour. A lot of people are mad at us for not playing our hometown. We’re all stoked to do a show in Chilliwack, we just haven’t had the chance.”

The band was thrilled to work with producers Garth Richardson (Hedley, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine) and Matt Squire (Katy Perry, Panic At The Disco), on the catchy new album. Some of the tunes on their earlier self-titled EP were re-worked and re-mastered for the new disc. They’ve had a chance to tour the country with the likes of B.C. bands like Hedley, Lights and Faber Drive. “We all became good friends. They’re amazing people. I don’t know if it’s the Canadian in all of us or what but they were really cool. There were no horror stories for us on the road.” Catch TKWC Jumpstart CD launch, March 1, Downtown HMV at Robson and Burrard at 5 p.m. or HMV Metrotown March 5 at 3 p.m. for performance and autograph session.

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre is thinking globally and acting locally by celebrating International Women’s Day with I Am Woman! Hear Me Laff! on Tuesday, March 8 at 8 p.m. Vancouver-based comedian Erica Sigurdson will be leading the pack of award-winning comics, including Ardell Fitzpatrick, Rachel Burns, and Marlie Oden, all part of the evening’s side-splitting laff-ter, sure to make I Am Woman! the stand-up comedy event of the year. The Cultural Centre’s first annual celebration of International Women’s Day is just one of thousands of events held around the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. I Am Woman! is also produced throughout BC and has a renowned reputation for being wildly successful and selling out fast. Headliner, Erica Sigurdson, will definitely be one of the reasons tickets fly out of the box office. Since entering the stand-up scene in the summer of 2000, Sigurdson has been unstoppable. Her charm, wit, and hilarious stand-up comedy have won her fans across North America, as well as the respect of her peers and interest from the industry. Sigurdson’s act is chock-full of relatable yet hilarious topics, from men’s absurd obsession with the Canucks to facing the truth: children really aren’t the “miracles” they are said to be. March 8 ticket holders will also be treated to an extra punch of Canada’s finest comedy with Ardell Fitzpatrick as the featured comic for the night, and you can be sure she will bring her fastpaced, pull-no-punches comedy to the stage. And Rachel Burns is set to be the night’s opener and is known to be insanely entertaining, earning the coveted Vancouver title, “funniest-comic-with-a-dayjob”. Not as nerdy but definitely just as hilarious, is Marlie Oden as the Master of Ceremonies for the evening. For ticket information call the Centre Box Office at 604.391.SHOW(7469). Tickets are also available online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Spotlight on cello soloist Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Get ready for an outstanding classical concert — one where the richly resonant cello takes the front and centre position. The first concert by Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra in its Principal Soloist Series is slated for March 4 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. “We will be showcasing some of our prin-

cipal players in this Soloist Series,” explains CMO board member Anne Fleming, who is also a CMO violinist. “We have some phenomenal principal performers with wonderful enthusiasm.” Featured soloist will be Benjamin Louwersheimer, principal cellist for the CMO, who is set to perform the Dvorak Cello Concerto in B minor Opus 104, during the second half of the program. “The piece is bril-

liant in its composition,” Benjamin tells the Progress. “It’s the crown jewel of concertos and was very popular in its time. “When you analyze the piece musically it’s just amazing.” At the age of 20, Benjamin is already a seasoned performer, and spent the past summer as a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada touring Canada. He started playing at the age of eight upon the

insistence of his mother, and then fell deeply in love with his instrument. He performed his first full-length chamber recital at the tender age of 12. Since then he’s earned a slew of scholarships and awards. He is finishing his fourth year in Cello Performance for his bachelor’s degree from the Vancouver Academy of Music. Maestro Johan Louwersheimer, a former high school music teacher, is the CMO’s principal conductor. The plan is to open the concert with the CMO Youth Orchestra, which is in keeping with the orchestra’s strong support for young musicians. “I insisted on it,” he said, adding that when he came to Canada from Holland years ago there were few opportunities for youth. “I really felt an emphasis on youth was important,” he said. “There is a tremendous amount of talent in Chilliwack and the youth orchestra is really starting to grow.” This is the Maestro’s third season with the CMO. “I think the entire orchestra has come a long way,” he said. Most of the orchestra members are from Chilliwack, with some from the AgassizHarrison area, as well as Abbotsford-Mission. “The CMO is my baby,” he said. “| see a tremendous amount of potential here.” The CMO Principal Soloist Series featuring Benjamin Louwersheimer, principal cellist for the CMO, Friday March 4, Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 7:30 p.m. $25.

Of Tomorrow

excellence at school and in our community

Alana See is a French Immersion student at Sardis Secondary. She is a member of the Spartans Swim Club, which is a competitive swim team here in Chilliwack. At school, Alana was the captain of the Sardis cross-country running team this year. During the course of her three years at Sardis, Alana has been part of our Leadership program where she has helped plan many events around the school and community such as assemblies, dances, fundraisers, lunch hour activities, talent shows, and much more! As well, she is involved in Project Help Mexico, which is fundraising to buy supplies and build a home for a woman who has taken in 27 orphans. Alana is able to do all this and still receive A honours in her academics. Congratulations to Alana See for being our January student of the month.

The “Energizer Bunny” could be described as anemic when compared with Mikaela McManus. Bringing her “A game” to everything she does, Mikaela builds on her natural talent as a student, athlete, leader and musician through grit, determination, hard work and a positive attitude. To watch her play basketball is to see pure focus and resolve. A leader in the Graham Athletics department, Mikaela volunteers enormous amounts of her time organizing and running various activities and events. Mikaela also recognizes the need for balance and becoming a well-rounded community member. To this end, on top of an “A” average in a challenging course load, she still ﬁnds time to be a contributing member of the music department and volunteers in the community in her “spare time”. She is a dynamo of positive energy that enriches our school community in a multitude of different ways. Congratulations Mikaela on being selected G. W. Graham’s Leader of Tomorrow for January 2011.

Mount Cheam Rotary is honoured to present Jacob with January’s Leader of Tomorrow Award. Jacob excels in his studies and has a strong interest in varying subject areas – from European History and Advanced Placement English to Automotive Technology. One of his teachers, Ms. Morris, describes him as,” a motorcycle-loving, creative-writing, Jane Austen fan”. He takes a leadership role in many of his classes, bringing a maturity which sets the tone to the classroom. He is an excellent writer, both in academic analysis and in the artistic creative writing sense. He is articulate and conﬁdent in discussion, but willing to listen to others’ opinions. Jacob works hard to achieve good grades in his academic subjects but also ﬁnds time to participate in many school and community events. He has shown himself to be a leader amongst his peers and demonstrates how courage, determination and drive can make any goal possible. His future plans include going to UFV to obtain a Bachelor of Arts Degree and along the way hopes to complete a trades program in Automotive Technology. “Congratulations”, Jacob!

THE NEXT HOME OPPONENT Vancouver Chilliwack Giants Bruins

Saturday S t d - Prospera P Centre C t - 7:00 7 00 p.m.

HEAD-TO-HEAD The Bruins are 8-33-2-1 all-time against their B.C. division arch-rivals, with a record of 5-15-1-1 withing the friendly confines of Prospera Centre.

LAST MEETING The last matchup between these two teams wasn’t a pretty one for the good guys, who dropped a 7-3 road decision in Vancouver Jan. 23. The Giants scored the first seven goals, with Slovakian import Andrej Stastny picking up three. Steven Hodges, Roman Horak and Robin Soudek scored for Chilliwack.

tain Brandon Manning. But more importantly, he’d rounded out his game to the point where head coach Marc Habscheid was no longer nervous playing him five-on-five. When Habscheid sent Paul off to the junior B Abbotsford Ice Pilots after 13 games last year, there was reason to question whether he would ever be back. And it wasn’t just about on-ice performance. There were questions about Pauls’ maturity level and willingness to buy into the team-first philosophy. The young blueliner has laid those questions to rest this year, to the point where Chilliwack’s bench boss went out of his way to volunteer a glowing quote on the new and improved Pauls. “When he got hurt, he

was probably playing the best he’s ever played for us,” Habscheid offered. “I give him tons of credit because he’s really engaged, working as hard as one could expect with a great attitude. I tip my hat to him because he’s trying his best come back from a really tough injury.” Hearing those words gives Pauls an extra push in his quest to complete the comeback. “Marc and I have never been on the same page until pretty much the exact point where I got hurt,” Pauls admitted. “But he’s here every day seeing how hard I’m working behind the scenes and it definitely means something when your coach recognizes how hard you’re working.” And if all that work results

in a return this season? “That would be a dream come true, to be honest, because every doctor I’ve talked to has told me no,” Pauls said. “There is nothing I would like more, even if I’m just back practicing with the guys, it would be huge.” The Bruins have a pair of home games this weekend, hosting the Vancouver Giants Saturday night (7 p.m.) and the Prince George Cougars on Sunday (5 p.m.). Chilliwack enters weekend play ninth in the Western conference standings, five points behind the eighth-place Kamloops Blazers with four games in hand.

Peewee Giants meet B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peewee football Giants met British Columbia premier Gordon Campbell on Monday, with Campbell taking time to recognize the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 BCCFA Provincial Championship. The Giants presented the Premier with a game ball signed by the entire team, leading the Premier to recall his own experiences in peewee football in 1960. All of the players had an opportunity to shake hands and meet the Premier, and get their photos taken with him. Campbell noted that he had met with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper earlier that day and that Harper had extended his congratulations as well. The meet and greet with the Premier, along with a final team dinner in Vancouver, wrapped up a dream season for the Giants. The team entered the playoffs as an underdog after a 7-3 regular season, but won four straight to earn the title. The Giants travelled to Nebraska last summer, and played at Empire Field during halftime of a B.C. Lions game.

They played before a Seattle Seahawks game at Qwest Field.

Soccer Strikers get past Galaxy Playoff race rolling on

Chilliwack’s U-15 Silver Strikers took on the Surrey Galaxy in the second meeting between the two clubs

this year. Playing with 11 players and no reserves, the Strikers gutted out a 1-0 win. As in the previous game (a 2-0 win), the Strikers dominated field position and ball possession, but struggled to finish their attacks. The game’s only goal came three minutes into the second half. A lead pass from central-midfielder Emma Haagensen sent Kiana Thiessen through two

defenders into the 18 yard box. She was taken down from behind and awarded a penalty kick. One of the most sure-footed shooters on the team, Haagensen didn’t miss, slamming a shot into the top corner. Just three minutes later another penalty kick was awarded on a Galaxy hand-ball. This time Haagensen’s shot grazed the outside of the goal post. Rhiannon Dunphy

laid out four perfect corner kicks in this game, landing all of them in the goal mouth. Brett Karcioglu and Taylor Allan had the best chances, but Chilliwack was snake-bitten around the net. Outstanding defensive play by Kelli Whitehead, Sydney Richards and Elena Schroots kept the Galaxy attackers to the outside, and Chilliwack allowed only six shots on goal.

Grizzly girls gunning for trip to provincials G.W. Graham’s senior girls basketball squad continued their run at the first provincial berth in school history, knocking off the Mission Roadrunners 59-48 last weekend.

Kaitlyn McDonald led the Grizzlies in scoring with 18 and 20 points each as GWG downed a team they’d never beaten in four previous years.

Senior point guard Mikaela McManus had one of her best games in the back court, while Breena Wirtz and Jamie Wesa played strong in the post controlling

the boards. The team played a win-and-you’rein game Thursday in Coquitlam (after Progress deadlines), facing Archbishop Carney.

The Bruins have more games left than any other team on this list but thatt means nothing if they don’t win the extra games, writes Jacob Bestebroer Change is the theme is the 2010-11 Western Hockey League season, Hockey with teams bouncing up and down the Western conference standings on a nightly basis. The Chilliwack Bruins are locked in a Bruins fierce battle for playoff fierce positioning. As Bruins positioning. radio colour man Jacob Bestebroer points out Bestebroer in this week’s column, they control their own destiny. Ten days ago the race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western conference Western looked like it might be down to just two teams, the Bruins and Kamloops Blazers. The Prince George Cougars were no longer in the hunt for top spot in the B.C. division and the automatic second seed in the conference, but didn’t seem to be in any real danger of missing the playoffs. Seattle looked to be on the outside looking in with only a marginal chance of making the playoffs. Things have changed. You can see the full stats below, and I’m included a somewhat interesting stat that looks at the average strength of remaining opponents for each team. It’s a simple calculation that shows how many points (with two being the maximum) that each team’s remaining opponent’s average per game. Prince George: 11 games remaining (4 home 7 away) Home: Spokane,

Spokane, Red Deer, Kamloops Away: Spokane, Everett, Chilliwack, Vancouver, Seattle, TriCity, Kamloops Opponents average points per game: 1.15

Prince George, Lethbridge, Kamloops, Portland, Vancouver, Kelowna, Everett Away: Vancouver, Kelowna, Vancouver, Seattle, Spokane, TriCity OAPPG: 1.11

The Cougars don’t look to be in too much danger of missing the playoffs right now but they can make it a lot easier on themselves by winning the four remaining games they have against teams below them in the standings. Three of their remaining 11 games are against the high-flying Spokane Chiefs.

The Bruins get a huge boost when captain Brandon Manning returns to the lineup this weekend afterr serving a seven game suspension. The Bruins have more games left than any other team on this list but that means nothing if they don’tt win the extra games.

Kamloops: 10 games remaining (5 home 5 away) Home: Kelowna, Lethbridge, Tri-City, Kelowna, Prince George Away: Medicine Hat, Kootenay, Chilliwack, Kelowna, Prince George OAPPG: 1.12 The Blazers have picked up five points in their last three games, all of which have been on the road and all of which went to overtime. They have two tough road games coming up in Medicine Hat and Cranbrook. The Blazers have the fewest remaining games and do not play three games in three nights. In fact the Blazers will not play three games in three nights once this season. Chilliwack: 14 games remaining (8 home 6 away) Home: Vancouver,

Seattle: 12 games remaining (8 home 4 away) Home: Por tland, Everett, Vancouver, Everett, Chilliwack, Prince George, Portland, Tri-City Away: Tri-City, Portland, Kelowna, Spokane OAPPG: 1.2 The Thunderbirds have gotten themselves back in the race but still have a tough schedule ahead off them. As an added scheduling quirk that mightt work to their advantage, the T-Birds do have eight of theirr remaining twelve games as home games. That is not necessarily a good thing forr them. Seattle has the second worst home record in the WHL. They’ve won onlyy nine of their 28 home games this season. jb@chilliwackbruins.com

Kay was predeceased by her loving husband Jim Miller Sr., sisters Ava, Millie (Loney), Dorothy (Kalyta), and brother Pete. She was born on October 12, 1920, and emigrated as a young woman with her family from the then Yugoslavia to Canada. Kay met and married Jim in Calgary. They transferred their young family to Chilliwack with the Canadian Armed Forces in 1953. Kay was petite in size, with a strong independent personality, a beautiful smile, and a great sense of humour. She was a tireless volunteer and was recognized as Chilliwack’s Volunteer of the Year in 1997. She was happiest performing with the Chilliwack Heritage Singers. Her favourite eatery was Banner’s Restaurant. Jim and Nancy sincerely thank the many professional caregivers involved in Kay’s health care while she resided in Birchwood the past eight years. All of these people, and many others not named, often went the extra mile to ensure Kay was cared for with dignity and compassion: Dr. Hamilton and Gina, all Birchwood staff and volunteers, the Fraser Health, Chilliwack Home Health, Home Support team coordinated by case manager Amanda, and Crystal Hearing’s Steve, Trisha, and Jamie. Everyone’s caring and cooperative attitude diminished our physical distance from Chilliwack. Kay will be cremated by Henderson’s Funeral Home and Crematorium. No service by request.
