Completion rate still below provincial average Katie Bartel The Progress The Chilliwack school district needs to do a better job with its middle school students in order to improve its six-year completion rates, said superintendent Corinne McCabe. Only 69.1 per cent of Chilliwack students who started Grade 8 in the school district six years ago completed Grade 12 in the district last year, according to the B.C. Education
Ministry’s six-year completion rate report released earlier this week. That’s 10 per cent below the 79 per cent provincial average. “We are still very concerned with our completion rates, particularly for our aboriginal students,” said McCabe. The completion rate report shows the percentages of students who graduate with a Dogwood diploma within six years of starting Grade 8 in the same district. The percentage of female students com-
pleting in Chilliwack dropped by two per cent to 69.2 per cent, but male students jumped up almost three per cent to 69.1 per cent. Aboriginal students dropped six per cent to 45.4 per cent. “Our aboriginal students are a challenge for us; they’re a challenge for the whole province,” said McCabe. For several years now Chilliwack has been hovering around 70 per cent for completion. Two years ago district officials started
analyzing the numbers school by school to determine which students weren’t completing and why, and to create solutions to better engage all students. Middle school, they discovered, was the problem. “We need to focus on how we can better support our students in Grades 6, 7, 8 and 9 so they stay engaged in learning,” said McCabe. “If we can get them to high school, we can get them to graduation.” Continued: SCHOOL/ p14
NDP enters gravel mining controversy Robert Freeman The Progress Fraser Valley residents haven’t been listened to by their local MLAs, NDP environment critic Rob Fleming charged after a meeting Wednesday with residents who are fighting against a regional gravel removal plan. The NDP have also been largely absent from Fraser Valley gravel issues - both in the Fraser River and in land areas under a proposed Aggregate Pilot Project. But Fleming indicated that may change after the Wednesday meeting in Yarrow. “I’ve committed to come back with the (NDP) mines critic,” he said in a telephone interview Thursday. “Fraser Valley residents haven’t been listened to by their local MLAs, particularly Randy Hawes,” he said. Fleming said Hawes, who chaired the committee that drafted the APP, “doesn’t have a sense of balance because he’s tied to the industry.” Fleming also said the B.C. Liberal government has “marginalized” local governments’ ability to enforce bylaws covering gravel removal – and several gravel pits continue to operate even though they don’t meet regulations. “They just do not have boots on the ground in the Fraser Valley,” he said, about B.C. government enforcement efforts.

An RCMP officer surveys the scene where this pickup truck crashed into a train on Knight Road just before midnight on Tuesday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Driver seriously hurt after crashing into train Robert Freeman The Progress A truck crashed into a train at the Knight Road crossing in Chilliwack just before midnight Tuesday. The driver of the truck, a 33-year-old man from Chilliwack, was taken to hospital with seri-
ous injuries. Police said four vehicles had been stopped waiting for the train to pass when the truck crashed into the fourth vehicle, then pulled to the left to pass the remaining vehicles and headed toward the tracks where it crashed into the train. Three of the vehicles left the
scene before police arrived, and investigators would like to talk to those drivers, who are asked to call the RCMP detachment at 604-792-4611. “The police also wish to remind the public of the danger involved in trying to beat a train that is approaching a crossing,” RCMP Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop
said in a news release. “A few moments to stop and wait and ensure your personal safety, the safety of those on the train, and of those on the roadway with you is all that is needed to avoid a very dangerous situation.” The cause of Tuesday night’s crash is still under investigation.

Penner: MLA now holds two high-profile ministries Barry Penner appointed attorney general Robert Freeman The Progress He was the youngest Liberal MLA elected in B.C. back in 1996, then he became the province’s longest-serving environment minister and just last October he was named aboriginal relations minister. Now Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner is also the province’s Attorney General after former AG Mike de Jong stepped down this week as minister to run for the BC Liberal leadership. The former Chilliwack lawyer said he never expected to stay in politics so long, never mind hold such high offices.
But the positions have given him the chance to make a difference, which is the reason he first ran for election in 1996. “I think most people when they run for elected office, they hope they have an opportunity to make a difference,” he said, in a telephone interview Wednesday. Holding the two high-profile portfolios at the same time isn’t unprecedented, he said, noting former MLA Geoff Plant was both the attorney general and the minister responsible for treaty negotiations in B.C. But it’s not going to be a soft touch, Penner agreed. “I’ll be getting a good workout
running back and forth between the offices of the attorney general and aboriginal relations,” he said. Penner was also the acting AG when de Jong was out of the province, so he’s not going into the job cold, and ministry staff will bring him up to speed on legal issues. In addition to handling criminal prosecutions in the province, the AG also provides legal services for all the other government ministries. Penner recently said that watching First Nations communities north of Harrison Lake finally connect to the BC Hydro power grid was a “high point” of his political career. But another was Chilliwack’s fight back in 1997 to save its court-
house as others around the province were being closed by the provincial government, then held by the New Democratic Party. “Instead of rolling over and giving up, everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked together and came up with an offer which the provincial government couldn’t refuse,” he said. The B.C. government eventually accepted the city’s offer to pay the costs of keeping the old courthouse on College Street open until the city could build a new courthouse as a public-privatepartnership. The $5.5-million courthouse on Main Street that resulted from that agreement opened in June, 2002. It was too soon Wednesday for
Penner to say what direction he’ll take as attorney general, but said he “continues to be interested in finding ways of making greater use of DNA to convict the guilty.” Although he now has a substantial body of experience as a politician and the mechanics of government, Penner ruled out becoming premier of the province someday. “That’s not a job I covet,” he said. “I have seen what it’s like for Gordon Campbell to do that job and it can simply be described as brutal, physically, emotionally and every other way.” “It’s not something I want in my life, or my wife’s life or my soon-tobe-baby’s life,” he added. Penner, 44, married local girl Daris LaPointe in October, 2008.
Chilliwack teen’s story attracts Shriners Police seek The Progress
crime victims
The news about a local teen and his quest for spinal surgery had barely hit the streets Friday when Shriners reps came knocking on the family’s door in Chilliwack with some good news. “They offered to pay for my son’s surgery in the U.S.,” said Amy Niiranen, a local mom and registered nurse. Her 17-year-old son, Donovan, was diagnosed with scoliosis and has been on a waiting list for surgery at BC Children’s Hospital, increasingly in pain, for more than 18 months. He was told he had to wait at least another year or more. Amy, a nurse at Chilliwack General, said they’re “relieved” by the news the wait will soon be over. They’re now busy filling out the paperwork. She told The Progress she didn’t really know much about the Shriners’ charitable work until they came over in person to explain. They had gone through the trouble of visiting her workplace in person to track her down. “I was just amazed that the Shriners would offer to help Donovan,” she said about the offer to have the complicated spinal surgery done in Portland, Oregon. The Shriners told the Niiranen family that “this is what they do.” Shriners Hospitals for Children, supported by Shriners International, is a health care system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty
Victims of property crimes in several areas of Chilliwack are being asked to call the RCMP as an investigation continues into a “rash” of theft-fromvehicles last weekend in the Kathleen Drive area. Three suspects were arrested Saturday after a number of thefts and break-ins were reported. But police now believe the suspects may be linked to other crimes, as yet unreported, on Canterbury Drive and the Twin Rinks area in the early morning hours of Nov. 27 before 5:30 a.m. “Anyone with information, or who was the victim of crime, but chose not to report the incident, is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611,” Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said. “Police rely on information from the public in an investigation like this,” she said. “It is important to determine what crimes have been committed, and gather all relevant information, in the aim of providing a true picture to the courts.” The three suspects, identified by police as Shawn Anthony McGhee, 19, of Surrey, Oliver Harry Secord, 20, of White Rock, and Robert Jeremy Corfield, 22, also of Surrey, were charged in Chilliwack provincial court Monday. McGhee is charged with break-andenter, trespassing at night, possession of stolen property under $5,000, theft over $5,000 and dangerous driving. He was released on bail, with numerous conditions, and is scheduled to return to court Dec.14. Secord is charged with break-andenter and trespassing at night. He was also released and scheduled to return to court Dec.14. Corfield is charged with break-andenter, trespassing at night, possession of stolen property under $5,000 and breach of probation. He remains in custody and his next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 6.

care, innovative research, and teaching programs for medical professionals. Children up to age 18 with orthopedic cases, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate are eligible for care and receive all services in a family-oriented environment, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. “When they heard how long he had been waiting, they said he was a perfect candidate,” she said. “They said they wished they’d known about Donovan sooner.” The process to get the surgery in Portland care of the Shriners will still take some time, but likely significantly less than the one or two years they were
told they’d still have to wait for surgery at BC Children’s. “It’s going to be faster for sure.” Now the surgical consultations, information gathering and x-rays will start anew. “But it is unfortunate that our health care system has driven us to this,” she said, adding that they would have preferred to get the operation here. Niiranen is vowing to continue to push for improvements to surgical wait times that have other families like hers awaiting surgery with their lives “on hold.” The local mom was contacted by two other families with children who were in a similar predicament to Donovan’s, who also
had the Shriners come to their rescue. “They said it was a fantastic experience and they received excellent care.” The Shriners bus comes to the region regularly, and they’ll cover everything including hotels and expenses. She has somewhat mixed feelings about the outcome. Since she started gathering information on the reality of surgical wait times in Canada, she has decided to continue fighting to get them reduced “for everybody.” “So I’m very relieved my son is going to get his surgery in a more timely manner, but there are also other kids out there still waiting.”

News BC Liberal leadership race is ‘political high season’ Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack MLA John Les is throwing his support - and considerable political savvy in the Fraser Valley - behind SurreyCloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon for the BC Liberal leadership. “I’m supporting Kevin for the leadership,” Les said, shortly after Falcon formally announced his entry into the race Tuesday. “He best captures for me the kind of person I’m looking for, and British Columbians are looking for (as premier),” Les said.
Falcon appears to be a frontrunner in the leadership race, with 10 MLAs appearing at his side for the announcement in Cloverdale. Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong announced his leadership bid Wednesday. In addition to de Jong and Falcon, the candidates so far are Shuswap MLA George Abbott, and Vancouver-Langara MLA Moira Stilwell. Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner is remaining neutral after accepting a position on a party committee overseeing the conduct of the leadership race.
Falcon and Abbott have both suggested moving up the date of a referendum on the Harmonized Sales Tax, but Les said Falcon has taken it “a step further” to include a reduction in the HST rate. “He’s also suggesting ... there should be a discussion with British Columbians” about reducing the rate from the current 12 per cent to 11 per cent and possibly to 10 per cent when there is “financial wiggle room” in the provincial budget, Les said. Falcon would move the HST referendum date up to June 24.
Les said he would campaign for Falcon, if asked, but in the meantime he will spend his time in the Chilliwack riding urging party members to vote Falcon at the leadership convention Feb. 26. There may also be public meetings in the riding where general voters can size up the candidates, who will be campaigning across the province, as possible premiers. “If you love politics,” Les said, “this is the political high season.”

Groups eye new gravel plan OKANAGAN VINEYARDS SELECT RED + SELECT WHITE
GRAVEL from Front Fleming said he was “impressed� by Fraser Valley residents at the meeting, who have organized lobby groups and are working on a alternative plan to the APP. “They’re not NIMBYs, they’re not unconcerned about the obvious need for aggregate,� he said, but willing to work for “positive� solutions that will end the conflict with gravel companies.

Glen Thompson, spokesman for the Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley, said the group will release an alternative to the APP on Friday. He said the group is also calling on local governments to stop buying gravel from companies that violate bylaws. Fraser Valley Regional District director David Lamson said he supports the move, but doesn’t believe the APP should be scrapped altogether. “I don’t think you should do
business with somebody who is breaking the law,� he said after the Yarrow meeting. “But to discard the APP and start all over again from scratch, I don’t think that would be wise,� he said. Thompson said Lamson’s support for a government boycott “came as a surprise and is viewed as an olive branch being held out to the activists who have been opposed to his support of new gravel rules known as the APP.� rfreeman@theprogress.com

Top Honours for Odlum Brown President and CEO
Adjusted breathalyzers bring back the threat of vehicle impounds facing administrative penalties, which, while harsh, don’t convey a criminal record nor offer any chance of legal defence. Impaired drivers should be “thrilled” but Shapray said he’s “shocked and astounded” that drivers who blow a fail no longer face a criminal charge, court appearance and a Canada-wide one-year driving ban if convicted. Second-time convicted drunk drivers also get a minimum 30-days in jail. “This is a get-out-ofjail-free card,” Shapray said. “The whole stigma of a criminal charge – the penalties including a cross-Canada driving prohibition – are no longer being imposed on people who blow fails on a roadside device.” Shapray plans to mount a constitutional challenge to the new penalties and will also try to use the change in rules as grounds to quash charges against drivers busted before
Sept. 20 who he says are being selectively prosecuted. He said the policy on implementing roadside penalties indicate impaired charges are now likely only if there’s an accident, if the driver had a prior impaired conviction within five years or a prior 90-day driving prohibition. “There are no longer any checks and balances on the conduct of the police,” he added. A gover nment spokesman said the province continues to consult affected groups and individuals on whether legislative changes are needed. Officials say the new penalties free up officers from lengthy impaired investigations and the need to testify in court and provide more time for them to concentrate on catching offenders. Provincial cour t judges in Surrey have recently tossed out at least two impaired driving cases, citing “chronic” case backlogs causing unacceptable delays.

Stiff penalties for drivers who drink and drive but don’t actually exceed the legal limit are coming back now that handheld roadside breathalyzers have been recalibrated. Police say at least half the 2,200 recalled breathalyzers will be back in service by this weekend after being adjusted to only trigger a “warn” reading at a blood-alcohol content of 0.06, rather than at 0.05 previously. The remaining devices should be back in the field by Dec. 8. “The frontline officers have been advised to utilize the immediate roadside prohibitions as soon as they receive their adjusted approved screening device back,” said RCMP E Division traffic services spokesman Cpl. Jamie Chung. The recall was ordered in mid-November to ensure any error in the roadside testing devices don’t lead to unfair penalties against drivers whose alcohol level is actually just under 0.05. It’s unclear whether any unfair sanctions that were applied will be reversed or otherwise redressed. A spokesperson for the Solicitor General said the province is “reviewing the implications, if any, for motorists who have received fines and suspensions in the ‘warn’ range.” Since taking effect Sept. 20, more than 3,000 drivers caught in the warn range have been slapped with a minimum three-day driving ban, $200 fines and $500 licence reinstatement fees, as well as the possible impoundment of their car, towing and storage costs. The penalties – which were paused while the mobile breathalyzers were recalled – alarmed some motorists and are blamed for a drop in restaurant and bar sales. Metro Vancouver criminal lawyer Michael Shapray said people are obsessing about the warn-level penalties but ignoring the ramifications of their much
broader use for motorists who blow over the legal limit of 0.08 as well. “There has been a complete decriminalization of first-time impaired driving,” Shapray said. “There’s been a huge decrease in criminal charges.” Provincial government statistics back him up. Police sent prosecutors 313 impaired driving charge requests in November – a 65 per cent drop from the 907 charge requests in the same month a year earlier. September and October were down 22 per cent and 40 per cent respectively, but did not yet fully reflect the Sept. 20 rule change because it can take officers several weeks to file paperwork. Shapray said he believes the true decrease in impaired charges laid will end up closer to 80 to 90 per cent. That means “huge numbers” of drivers over 0.08 are instead

The best thing the B.C. Liberals have got going for them so far in their leadership race is the NDP. Up until this week, the race to replace Gordon Campbell as party leader was notable only by who wasn’t running. And even this week, with announcements by Kevin Falcon on Tuesday and Mike de Jong on Wednesday, the energy has hardly been electrifying. But all that changed Wednesday after veteran NDP MLA Jenny Kwan publicly eviscerated party leader Carole James. In a prepared statement, Kwan blamed James for centralized decision-making, a lack of policy direction and a failure to capitalize on the troubles of the ruling B.C. Liberals. “The delay in grappling with difficult but critical public policy choices often results in making the NDP irrelevant in the hearts and minds of British Columbians,” Kwan said. It was the unkindest cut, not only because it came from the woman who nominated James for party leader, but also because it came just days after James declared infighting within the NDP caucus was over. James has now called an emergency meeting for this weekend to remind caucus members that she’s still the boss. Whether or not the dissident MLAs agree remains to be seen. What is certain is Liberals must draw some satisfaction from the NDP implosion. Certainly this is not the first time the Liberals have been helped by the NDP. James’ performance since taking over the shattered leadership has hardly been inspired. True, she has rescued it from the morass left by Glen Clark. But Kwan’s accusations that the NDP failed to exploit weaknesses within the Liberal reign are well taken. The irony is that Kwan’s actions perpetuate the image that the NDP, unable to manage their own party, are incapable of managing the province. And that has to leave the Liberals – and their future leader – smiling. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

How Premier Gordon Campbell was toppled VICTORIA – A hatchet job. Sloppy. That was the initial reaction from Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett to my column last week on his noisy departure from the B.C. Liberal cabinet. Reviewing those events with Bennett and other sources, I realize I not only made a factual error, I missed a significant story about the end of Gordon Campbell’s leadership. Why did Bennett publicly break with Campbell, first to criticize his sweeping reorganization of resource ministries, and then to call for Campbell to go? Was he upset about losing responsibility for mining? Was this another hot-tempered lapse in judgment, like his insulting e-mail to a local critic that prompted Bennett to resign as minister of state for mining in 2007? No. It was a calmly calculated rebellion, a solo effort to push

Campbell out before it was too late for the B.C. Liberal Party. I called Bennett a “political suicide bomber.” He prefers “change agent.” Step one was a carefully timed call to <I>Vancouver Sun</I> reporter Jonathan Fowlie to blast the resource ministr y shuffle, which Bennett views as a disaster Tom of one-man rule. “I knew the preFLETCHER mier was doing his TV statement, I think it was the next day,” Bennett told me. “And I figured, I have to make a statement about this now, and put some pressure on the premier.” Bennett knew this alone could get him bounced out of cabinet. But with NDP leader
Carole James under fire for kicking Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson out of caucus without discussion, and Campbell’s TV address pending, he expected to survive for a while. Step two was an appearance on Sean Leslie’s CKNW talk show a few days later, saying Campbell should step down immediately. In both interviews he was careful to be “respectful” of Campbell, but this was another clear breach of cabinet solidarity. He was fired from cabinet Nov. 17, and launched his attack on Campbell’s “bullying.” Bennett says his decision to sacrifice his cherished job as energy minister began on Sept. 14. That’s the day a B.C. Liberalcontrolled legislative committee opted for a province-wide vote on repealing the harmonized sales tax. Campbell immediately announced that the government
would accept a simple majority of those who vote, much less than the Recall and Initiative Act requires. The B.C. Liberals had held a two-day caucus retreat in Kelowna, “and that option was never, ever discussed,” Bennett said. “I just thought, if this guy stays, we are cooked. The B.C. Liberal government will never get elected again.” His solo mission followed at least one group effort to push Campbell towards the door. Bennett says he was one of 10 MLAs who agreed to sign a letter, politely suggesting Campbell bow out at the party’s Penticton convention Nov. 19-20. An intermediar y, a former cabinet minister, got involved. Bennett said the intermediar y was told some MLAs were prepared to sit as independents when the house resumes in February if

Campbell was still premier. When Campbell announced he was stepping down, he gave no date. Bennett says he and other fed-up MLAs became concerned that Campbell might stay until the HST vote next fall, or longer. The party has since scrambled to reschedule its convention, change its voting structure to give rural areas a chance (Bennett says that too was his initiative, last July) and select a new leader on Feb. 26. Mission accomplished. • Correction: I wrote last week that Bennett prematurely disclosed a revenue sharing offer for the Prosperity mine. Provincial negotiators had made that offer privately more than a year earlier. My apologies. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

Time to protect our heritage In his Friday’s editorial Greg Knill views the School board’s latest decision to call the Christmas break by its proper name as a step backwards in the quest for modern progress. Dear Mr. Knill, even the federal government acknowledges Christmas by declaring Dec. 25 to be a statutory holiday. The argument that those who do not celebrate this season with a Christian perspective might be offended carries little weight, seeing that much of Canada’s Constitution is based on Biblical
principles and those who come to Canada are likely well aware of our country’s Christian faith based heritage. Chilliwack’s very own, Michael Clarke, put together a book entitled “Canada-Portraits of Faith” in which we find that most of our founding fathers were Christians. I do not see how our wonderful heritage with its long standing Christmas tradition could offend anyone. Those who immigrate to Canada enjoy the freedom to celebrate their cultural and religious backgrounds and to even
build their places of worship. (Try building a Christian church in a Muslim country.) I can’t see that, by denying our country’s heritage, people are made to feel more welcome. With over 60 Christian faith based churches and obviously thousands of Christians living here in Chilliwack alone, shouldn’t we rather be concerned not to offend those who wish to celebrate this season in the Christian tradition with Christ’s birth at the centre? Merry Christmas, Mario C. Alleckna
Holiday name has nothing to do with freedom Thank-you for your thoughtful editorial about the school board’s decision to change the name of Winter Vacation to the overtly Christian “Christmas” Vacation. I appreciate you for understanding that religiously neutral language is not “political correctness,” but rather simple politeness. The trustees who voted on this motion were all elected to the board of a public school district. As such they are required to protect the rights of all students, not just those who share their faith. Christianity is the religion of the majority of Canadians. It is clearly the religion of
every trustee who voted in favour of this motion. As such there is no “bravery” involved in passing this motion. It is a blatant example of a majority imposing its views on the minority. December 25 is Christmas day. No one has ever suggested that we should change its name to ‘Present Day,’ or ‘Santa Day,’ or ‘December 25 Holiday,’ in order to be more inclusive. December 25 will always be Christmas, and people can choose whether or not they wish to celebrate it. However, Winter Vacation is two weeks long. It includes three statutory holidays: Christmas Day, Boxing
Day, and New Year’s Day. There is no logical reason to change the name to Christmas Vacation; it would make as much sense (as in no sense) to change it to Boxing Day Vacation or New Year’s Vacation. In March we have Spring Break. Usually we also have Easter Weekend in April. However, Easter occasionally falls within Spring Break; in those years we do not suddenly change the name of Spring Break to Easter Break. Using the term Winter Vacation does not belittle or oppress Christians in any way. I am confused by the fact that some Christians feel oppressed
unless their religion is given more attention than everyone else’s. It is not good enough for them to receive equal treatment; they must receive special treatment. That is offensive thinking in any members of a multicultural society, but it is especially disturbing in people who have been elected to positions of power. We live in a country where we all have the freedom to practice religion as we see fit; it makes Christians no less free if we name our public school holidays in such a way as to include those who practice other religions. Willow Reichelt
Decision a long time coming Let’s keep it A letter of congratulations to the Chilliwack School Board for their decision regarding Christmas vacation. I won’t say brave decision – because this should not be considered a brave decision, rather a decision a long time coming. Last time I checked we live in Canada, a mainly Christian nation, and that is how the tradition of Christmas has been celebrated for centuries. In other nations- where there are Canadians living, I certainly would never ask them to change their ideas or traditions for us, and more importantly, I guarantee, and know for a fact that they would never change their ways for us. My sons are in school and will be on Christmas vacation. If others don’t like it there are many airplanes that can fly to where their traditions are celebrated. Please do not take this as rude or anything else than what it is, a regular, non church going, agnostic Canadian, upholding the values I was raised on and the ones I am raising my children on.

Well, congratulations to our School Board Trustees for putting the name Christmas Holidays back into our Christmas celebration. It has always been the Christmas Holidays. For those who are immigrants or do not believe in Christmas, the only reason it is a holiday is because of Christmas and not because of winter. Just keep on working or doing whatever -- you don’t have to take a holiday. This is Canada! Let’s keep it that way.

past. Enjoy the trip down Memory Lane and all the fond times the trip brings to mind. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 When someone turns to you for advice, Libra, you may want to pass on saying much. Right now you really can’t count on your decision-making skills. Wait a bit longer. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it has been a waiting game for you for quite some time now and you’re not one for patience. Keep your head up because things are looking like they will go your way. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a funny thing will happen to you this week, although at the time you may not find much humor in it. Be a good sport and go along with the course of events. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a difference of opinion can quickly escalate into a war of words if you’re not careful. Keep mum when others seem to be goading you into an argument. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you are called on to be the voice of reason, but it may not be the role you were looking for this week. Relish in the idea that others look to you for support. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, projects pile up and it is time to delegate some of this work. Trust a close friend with the task of helping out.

Info sought on missing local man The Chilliwack RCMP are again asking for public help to find a Chilliwack man missing since February. “The Chilliwack RCMP have been actively investigating this missing persons case since it was reported in April, 2010,” Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said in a news release. She said there is “some indication” Douglas Renz may have left the Chilliwack area early last year, but police are asking for anyone who has heard from him to call the Chilliwack RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers. An earlier news release issued in June did not generate any leads. Renz, 50, is described as a balding white male, about 5’10” tall and weighing about 150 lbs. He has brown hair and green eyes. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Home Depot is holding a three-day “career fair” this week as the opening of the company’s Chilliwack store at the new Eagle Landing mall approaches. Doug Galloway, Home Depot’s regional human resources manager in B.C., said more than 100 positions need filling, everything from sales clerks and cashiers to
cants at 2 p.m. A final session for the day starts at 5 p.m. On Saturday, another session open to all applicants starts at 10 a.m., and the last session of the career fair starts at 12 p.m. The new Home Depot store is expected to open in April, 2011.
Local lawyer appointed to Queen’s counsel Chilliwack lawyer William Finch is among 24 B.C. lawyers appointed Queen’s counsel last week by Attorney General at the time, Mike de Jong. The Queen’s counsel designation is an honour conferred on members of the legal profession to recognize “exceptional merit and contribution.” Finch, a partner and legal education coordinator at the Baker Newby law firm, has “conducted many cases pro bono and shares his experience by supervising articled law
students,” de Jong said in a news release. Abbotsford lawyer Theodore Strocel was also appointed Queen’s counsel. Nominations for the prestigious designation are sought from the public each September, and reviewed by an advisory committee that includes the Chief Justice of the B.C. Supreme Court, Chief Judge of the B.C. provincial court, and members of the B.C. Law Society and Canadian Bar Society. The final decision is made by the provincial government cabinet.

Chilliwack’s high school graduation rate in 2009-10 was 92 per cent. (Graduation rates are determined by tracking the number of students enrolled in Grade 12 who graduate at the end of the school year.) The district implemented alternative education programs, intervention programs and other supports at the middle school level as a result. However, it’s still too early to see the benefit in numbers, said McCabe. “We would like to see the rates go

up faster, but it takes a few years to see a trend,” she said. “If we can get kids actively involved in their own learning, they’ll be more successful in school.” The completion rate report does not take into account students who move out of the district, province or country before Grade 12; students who earn their Dogwood diploma after the six-year-period; students with special needs who attained a school-leaving certificate; or students who were accepted into post-secondary without graduation.

Jazz fest no more The Progress The Chilliwack Jazz Festival is officially calling it quits after 20 years. It drew some of the hottest traditional jazz players on the circuit, and provided a performance stage for Chilliwack’s brightest up-and-comings. Escalating costs juxtaposed with declining attendance did them in. “Many people have been asking us about the dates for next year’s Chilliwack Jazz Festival and although the continued support is appreciated, it’s time to officially announce the dissolution of our Happy Times Jazz Society and consequently the festival,” said Owen Skonberg, one of the event organizers in an e-mail. “We are so proud that we were able to provide our community with a fun filled weekend event and exposure to some of the world’s best traditional jazz musicians for over 20 years. “We’ve made the decision to close based on the increasing difficulties of government grant timelines and steady decline in attendance.” He thanked sponsors, volunteers, musicians and patrons for the 22 good years. Last year the jazz fest
attracted 345 patrons to the weekend long event, but in past years the numbers have topped an estimated 1,500 attendees. Fest bookkeeper Helen Hugh said enrollment started declining after 9/11, together with the loss of some regular volunteers, but credited the Skonbergs and many other volunteers, along with Chilliwack Bingo, for making it a great event. “It is no secret that we have made our youth program the top priority and are thrilled to see our alumni performing professionally,” added Skonberg. “We are especially thankful for the Chilliwack Senior Secondary Music program and its directors, Rob Hopkins and Gary Raddysh. “The truth is our overall numbers have gone down but the spirit of the festival has never been stronger with the generations of young players and connection with the Lindy Hop dance community. “It’s just not enough to consider it a business, which in this day and age is essential to a festival’s success.

A minimum number of people must buy to activate the offer for all buyers; thus, consumers are encouraged to share the excitement with their friends, family and social network, via Twitter, Facebook or email links.

ONE WAY
Chilliwack’s AJ Towing was among the recipients of the 2010 British Columbia Aboriginal Business Awards, presented Wednesday at a gala celebration hosted by the BC Achievement Foundation. Nineteen awards were presented by Premier Gordon Campbell to recipients from across the province. “The recipients have shown the true entrepreneurial spirit that exemplifies British Columbia and stand as examples of what it takes to succeed in business,” said Campbell. “The awards reflect the expanding role of Aboriginal business in the province and its importance to the overall economy.” The awards are presented by the BC Achievement Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and are generously supported by New Relationship Trust, BC Hydro, Teck and Encana. “These awards highlight the wealth of talent we have in B.C.’s Aboriginal business community – from web design to excavation, retail to catering,” said Barry Penner, Minister of Aboriginal Relations. “I applaud the recipients for their achievements and know that their business flair and success will inspire a new generation of Aboriginal businesspeople to make their business dreams a reality.” AJ Towing earned the award for Outstanding Business Achievement in the Business of the Year category for enterprises with two to 10 persons.

envy of many another city. But for the visitor the best way to get around Hong Kong Island is in a less rapid and less technologically advanced manner: by tram. The centuryold system that snakes for 30 kilometres along the island’s north side connects the bigname sights and glossy international shopping of Central to a host of lesser-known
street markets and traditional Chinese businesses, and its trams rumble along slowly enough for passengers to take in all Hong Kong’s immense bustle and variety. The flat fare is HK$2 (about 25 cents), and this two-dollar tour is the best value for money in town. Continued: TRAM/ p23

You board the tram—a battered, double-deck metal canister with rounded ends—through a turnstile at the rear, and it’s best to make your way up the narrow spiral staircase to the top deck, originally reserved for first-class passengers, for views over the traffic and for eye-level encounters with Hong Kong’s large expanses of bilingual neon signage. It really doesn’t matter where you get on, or where your tram is headed, or if you spend a whole day riding the system from end to end. But, for example, the No. 5 eastbound from Central will take you past rows of familiar shopping and the dignified buildings of the colonial era, now dwarfed by the towers of global banking concerns. There’s no airconditioning, but the windows are all open to let a cooling breeze waft down the tram as it moves along. There are stops on average every 250 metres, but the trams travel for the most part in their own dedicated lanes and have priority over other traffic when they don’t, so while speed is modest, progress is more persistent than that of other traffic. If you see some-

papers representing their enemies. Around Causeway Bay there’s a warren of budget-priced backstreet shopping, and pungent smells from the vast copper vats of traditional herbalists waft through the tram’s open windows before it turns off towards Happy Valley with its forest of pencil towers surrounding race course, bowling green, and cricket ground; all so English, and yet so odd when fringed with palms.
So forget the icy haste of the subway, and instead do as the signs at major intersections suggest: “Give way to trams.”

On-reserve funding awarded for renovations and retrofits Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s key federal funding that has improved housing conditions for at least 27 First Nations across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland.
Heading into the second year of the program, it was announced that $2.8 million from Canada’s Economic Action Plan will be allocated to several Sto:lo bands in the Chilliwack area to renovate a total
of 283 units. Tzeachten Chief Joe Hall said the funding has allowed his community to accomplish upgrades to residential and social housing that they weren’t able to get done under other pro-
grams. “We’re very happy with the program and people have been glad to see the renovations and retrofits get completed. It’s been phenomenal,” said Hall, who is also Sto:lo Nation president.
Changes to houses include everything from handicapped friendly renovations, to energy efficiency improvements to flooring, windows, hot water tanks and furnaces. On Tzeachten reserve
there were 11 homes retrofitted in the first year, and eight more this year, said Hall. Tzeachten has a population of about 500, with more than 70 residences in total. “Year two of Canada’s

Economic Action Plan demonstrates that our Government remains committed to improving housing conditions for First Nation communities in British Columbia,” said MP Randy Kamp, announcing the continued program recently from the Leqamel community. “The investment will provide quality, affordable housing while creating jobs and stimulating the local economy.” Through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada has committed $400 million over two years to help over 495 First Nation communities build needed new housing, repair and remediate existing nonprofit housing for their members, and complement housing programs offered by CMHC. This investment will also provide an economic stimulus for many First Nations and surrounding areas by creating jobs.

Chilliwack Visual Artists Association member Sue Grass (right) prepares a painting to be hung in the Chilliwack Art Gallery inside the Cultural Centre on Wednesday. The CVAA’s Winter Season Show and Sale runs Dec. 2 to Jan. 6. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
It’s a nod to the early arrival of the coldest season. The Chilliwack Visual Artists Association’s first juried group exhibition is the Winter Season Show and Sale in the new Chilliwack Art Gallery. The opening reception for the Winter Show is Saturday, Dec. 4 from noon to 2 p.m., and it runs until Jan. 6. CVAA member Pat Jaster said she expects it to be a tremendous event showcasing the wonderful winter season in all of its frosty glory. When the Progress caught up with her, she was dropping off submissions for the exhibit, after whittling it down to four of her watercolours for jury members to ponder for inclusion. Continued: WINTER/ p33
A holiday treat that everyone can ‘Handel’ Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s shaping up to be spectacular way to usher in the Christmas season with well-loved music. The Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus are proud to present, A Christmas You Can Handel’ at the Cultural Centre on the night of Saturday, Dec. 11. The evening concert promises a charming array of holiday favourites, including four choruses and Pastoral Symphony from Handel’s Messiah, sung by the 75-member chorus. For principal conductor Clyde Mitchell the purely instrumental performance of Carol of the Bells will be a real treat. “It really is one of my all-time favourites,” he says. Compositionally the song by Ukranian composer Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych is nothing short of brilliant.
“It’s a haunting yet rousing piece that uses an ostinato, where that particular four-note motif, ding-dong-ding-dong, is repeated throughout. “Originally it had nothing to do with Christmas, but it’s certainly become a classic.” Saturday night will be their first major performance on the main stage of the new cultural centre. “It’s going to be so exciting,” says resident conductor Paula DeWitt-Krause. “The new venue is a bit of an unknown for some, but we know it’s going to be great.” One advantage of the new venue is that audience members can now choose their seats. “So it’s not rush seating, which will be an improvement,” she says. The chorus will lead off A Christmas Fantasia with a wonderful rendition of It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Expect to hear Mary Did You Know and Oh! Had I Jubal’s Lyre by Handel,

The audience will get to join in during the ever-popular sing-along portions of the program. Also on the program for the first time is a lively medley of tunes for the Festival of Lights called Chanukah Suite. “There is so much talent right here in Chilliwack,” Dewitt-Krause says. “Every group is full,” ticking off the CSO groups and sub groups that are full to capacity including the orchestra itself, the show choir, the a cappella group, and the main chorus. For those who may not be able to make the evening performance, the very next afternoon, as a musical experiment for Chilliwack, the CSO and chorus will perform A Family Christmas Matinée in one

One of the watercolours is simply titled Falling Snow, and a couple of others are High Country Snow, and Spring Break Up. The cold stuff figures prominently in some of Jasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like winter because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Winnipeg originally,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the snow. It makes me feel wonderful.â&#x20AC;? Plus as a watercolour artist there are so many beautiful shades and shadows made by ice and snow, which is appealing when trying to capture the frozen world. CVAA member Ralph Huston said his offerings for the show included acrylic landscape paintings, with at least one inspired by scenes along Hope River Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one where a log has fallen across the river and the snow is piling up,â&#x20AC;? he says. He enjoys painting crisp winter scenes, which allow him to explore the use of

Gov. Steven Point on August 28, 2009, at Seabird Island. Charles, who was the elected chief of Seabird for 14 consecutive terms, passed away this week.
Seabird mourns loss of Archie Charles Jessica Peters The Observer The community of Seabird Island is mourning the loss of a longtime leader. Grand Chief Archie Charles, 88, passed away on Monday morning, after a brief stay in hospital. Current Seabird Island Chief Clem Seymour said he’s lost a mentor, and the community has lost an important figure. “I used to go sit down and talk with him about a certain amount of things going on around here,” Seymour said on Wednesday. Charles was elected first in 1973, and stayed on for 14 consecutive terms, until March of 2001. It was just last summer, on August 28, that Charles was awarded the Order of Canada. While recipients of the award, as a rule, go to Ottawa to be awarded the honour by the Governor General, that rule was changed for Charles. Instead, a ceremony was held in the Seabird Island Community Hall, with Lt. Gov. Steven Point presenting the award. Charles leaves behind a legacy of selfgovernance that many First Nations bands now emulate, said Willie Charlie, chief of the nearby Chehalis band. “Archie was very instrumental in how progressive Seabird is today,” he said. The

programs and services offered to band members, along with the infrastructure on the reserve, are all in place due to Charles’ many years as elected chief. “That’s the approach we have (at Chehalis),” Charlie said. Archie was the first chief to be named a Grand Chief, a title bestowed upon him by the Sto:lo Tribal Council about 20 years ago. The title is given to chiefs who have been in an elected position for many years. Archie Charles was also a veteran of the Second World War. He is survived by many family members, including his wife, Tina Jack. Seymour said a gathering is being planned for Saturday morning at the Seabird Island Community Hall. “We’ll be taking care of that work on Saturday,” he said.

HEAD-TO-HEAD The Bruins are 1-3-0-0 alltime against the seldomseen Blades, with a record of 0-2-0-0 within the friendly confines of Prospera Centre.

On the first, former Bruin Chris Collins hounded exteammate Mitch Topping into a turnover and tried a weak backhand shot. The puck missed the net, but came out the other side for Brent Benson, who roofed it from a sharp angle. Just over two minutes later, Nicholls scored shorthanded on a pretty backhand feed from Curtis Hamilton to put the Blades up 3-1. Lukas Sutter buried the rebound from a Stefan Elliott point shot at 11:48 to end Gore’s night after four goals on 17 shots. Braden Gamble got off to a shaky start in relief, giving up a goal on the second shot he faced, to Blades blueliner Connor Cox.
Mike Forsyth got one back for the Bruins, scoring with 11.4 seconds remaining in the second period, but third period goals by Deitz and Collins killed any comeback hopes. Chilliwack forward Robin Soudek scored with just over four minutes remaining to wrap up the scoring. “We started off OK and our first period wasn’t bad, but we just let it go in the second period,” McKinlay said. “We weren’t disciplined with our systems and we weren’t winning battles. It cost us.” McKinlay and the Bruins are back in the saddle tonight, hosting the Kelowna Rockets at Prospera Centre (7:30 p.m.). It is McKinlay’s first game
against Mitchell Chapman, the Rocket who sidelined him for six weeks with a questionable knee-on-knee hit. “Obviously, no one’s going to go out of their way to do anything, and we’re going to stick to our systems,” McKinlay said. “I’m going to play my game, but if I get a chance to finish a check on him, I’ll take it.”
BETWEEN THE PIPES
SPECIAL DAY AT PROSPERA CENTRE Prospera Centre promises to be extra loud Tuesday morning, with more than three thousand middle-school students in attendance for a special home game against the Broncos. The students will attend as part of the Chilliwack Bruins/Great Canadian Oil Change ‘Celebrating Youth’ field trip. The theme of the day will be healthy living, with displays set up along the concourse.

Bruin prospects crack roster Luke Harrison is one of two Chilliwack Bruins prospects who’ve been named to the U-16 roster that will represent British Columbia at the 2011 Canada Winter Games. The games take place Feb. 11-18 in Novia Scotia, and Team B.C. was officially announced on Monday. Har rison was Chilliwack’s third round pick (51st overall) in last spring’s Western Hockey League bantam draft, and has spent most of this season with the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. A Kelowna native, Harrison played his first two Western Hockey League games two weeks ago, wearing the Chilliwack uniform for games against the Tri-City Americans and Regina Pats. He had no points or penalty minutes. As a 15-year-old, Harrison is eligible to play five WHL games
prior to the end of his MMHL season. In 16 games with the Rockets this year, the six-foot and 177 pound forward has four goals, seven points and two penalty minutes. For ward Brennan Clark was drafted in the seventh round of last spring’s bantam draft, and has spent most of this season in the Pursuit of Excellence Program. Another player with local ties who has cracked the Team B.C. roster is defenceman Shea Theodore, an Aldergrove native who plays for the Chilliwack/ Abbotsford based Fraser Valley Bruins. Players named to the team were evaluated during the first threemonths of the season and selected from a short list of 33 following a provincial camp in July. “Evaluating and assessing over the past three months was a tasking job and led to some very hard decisions at all positions,” said Team B.C. head coach Russ Weber.
“The way the players competed is a compliment to them, and they should be proud, whether selected or not.” Team B.C.’s quest for gold begins on the first day of the games when they take on Team Quebec. Joining B.C. and Quebec in pool A will be Ontario and Nova Scotia. Team BC will look to improve on their fourth place finish at the 2007 Canada Winter Games. Team B.C. has scheduled a Christmas camp for Dec. 20-22 at Richmond’s Minoru Centre. B.C. Hockey’s U-16 Program is designed as an introduction to B.C. Hockey’s High Performance Program, exposing players, coaches and officials to short term competition. The U-16 Program also acts as a precursor to the U-17 Program, which is used to identify and train players and team personnel for provincial, regional and national teams.

The Chilliwack Progress â&#x20AC;˘ 45
Sports
Provincial football finals set Gore sets standard
Two local minor football teams go hunting for hardware this weekend as provincials kick off in Langley. Chilliwack Minor Footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peewee and
bantam Giants are in action at McLeod Stadium. The peewee Blue Giants rolled through the regular season with a record of 7-3-0, bouncing Meadow Ridge and Abbotsford in the Valley Community Football League playoffs. They face the Coquitlam Wildcats in the final, which takes place Sunday morning at 11 a.m. The Wildcats buried the Langley Mavericks
20-0 in the Vancouver Mainland Football League final. Chilliwack has never had a provincial champion in the peewee division. The last time they qualified for the title game was in 2002, when they lost to the Wildcats. On the bantam side, Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Giants finished 7-2-0 during the regular season, rolling over North Langley and Abbotsford in the VCFL playoffs.
They will face the VMFL champion Langley Mustangs in the provincial final, taking place Sunday at 6 p.m. The Mustangs mauled the North Surrey Tigers in the VMFL final. Chilliwack has never won a provincial title at the bantam level. Chilliwack did win a provincial title last year, with the midgets beating Nanaimo for the championship.

Howseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corner battle win overr Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six-foot-seven defenceman is the exact type of play that Hockeyy Canada loves, writes Jacob Bestebroer Records fall in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column by Jacob Bestebroer, who gives us Bestebroer, an update on a goalie and coach who are aiming to etch their names in Chilliwack Bruins and Western Hockey League history. League Congratulations go out to Bruins goaltender Lucas Gore who is now the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all time leader in minutes played by a goaltender. At the 10 minute mark of the first period of Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game versus the Saskatoon versus Blades, Gore moved past Mark Friesen into first place. Not bad for a guy who was overlooked in the bantam draft. Gore, who is in his final season of junior hockey, has the rest of this season to increase his total which stands at 5,347. Gore is also Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career leader in wins (40), shutouts (5) and goals against (297). Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely square off against a familar face on Tuesday when the Swift Current Broncos come to town. Gore and Friesen shared the Bruins crease for two seasons after the departure of Matt Esposito. Friesen was dealt to the Broncos last year, and has become their go-to guy in net, making 28 appearances with 15 wins. with It will present an interesting game within the game if Gore and Friesen get the
starts for their respective teams. One more milestone of note. Bruins head coach Marc Habscheid needs just four wins to become the 18th member of the Western Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300 win club. With eight of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next 11 games being played away from Prospera Centre, this is a milestone that may be celebrated away from home. Ryan Howse was the recipient of some good news from Hockey Canada earlier this week. He is one of 39 players who were invited to attend Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national junior team selection camp, which runs Dec. 12-15 in Toronto. yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s This IIHF World Junior Championships will be held in Buffalo, New York, beginning Dec. 26. The news came three days after Howse scored once and set up another in Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-2 win over the Portland Winterhawks, in what I think was his best game in a Bruins uniform. corner Howseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle win against Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six-foot-seven defenceman Brett Ponich, leading to a Jeff Einhorn goal, was a thing of beauty. It is also exactly the type of play that people at Hockey Canada love. Howseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s linemates, Robin Soudek and Roman Horak, are also
in the running to participate in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament for the Czech Republic. Both have been shortlisted. Horak had a goal and two assists in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament for the Czechs, who finished in seventh place. k The Chilliwack Bruins/Great Canadian Oil Change â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Celebrating Youth Field Tripâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is set forr Tuesday. The event will involve more than 3,000 middle school students from throughout the district. Theyy will be bused from their schools for a dayy that will be focused on healthy living and nutrition. They will also see the Bruins in action versus the Swiftt Current Broncos. Originally scheduled for 7 p.m., the game will be moved to 10:30 a.m. Season ticket holders are reminded thatt if you are unable to attend the game, you can exchange yourr tickets at the Bruins office for tickets to anyy other regular season home game. A reminder again to check out the Bruins k Of ficial Facebook Page. The team will be introducing several new features overr the next month thatt include a number off contests and prize giveaways. jb@chilliwackbruins.com

Karver Morford
Karver’s family would like to thank all those whose kindness and caring have carried us through this time of such great sorrow. We appreciate the flowers, cards and contributions of food and help at his Celebration of Life. The attendance of so many kind people reinforced the fact that he was well-loved, and that we are not alone in our feelings of sadness and outrage at the despicable act that took him from us. A special thank you to the vultures who broke into his house scant days after his murder, to steal what little he had left. That really helped renew our belief in the goodness of humankind.

✞ Obituaries CAMERON John Barry
“Barry” Born July 31, 1928 in Winnipeg, MB and passed peacefully on November 28, 2010 at the CAMERON George Derby Centre in Burnaby, BC. He is survived by his second wife Ruby, his four children Heather, David, Rob and Laura, grandsons Andrew and Arden, nephew Grant and nieces Pat and Sandra. With his older brother Bob, Barry spent his early years in Manitou, MB. He joined the Army Reserves at age 14 and later served for three years as a commissioned officer. He went to teacher’s college and earned his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Manitoba. He married Jody in 1957 and they made a home for their growing family in Chilliwack, BC. As a teacher, he shared his love of history and geography and pioneered a new Law 12 curriculum at Chilliwack Senior Secondary. He enjoyed many kinds of music, especially the big band sound. On occasion he played his trumpet for Remembrance Day services. Jody and Barry divorced in 1986 but they remained friends. Barry married “his Ruby” in 1994 and together they traveled to the UK and lived in Abbotsford and Calgary before returning to Chilliwack.
Barry made friends easily, even in his last months. The dear staff members at the George Derby Centre knew him fondly as ‘Cam’. He loved a good limerick and his sense of humour and joy in singing were gifts to everyone around him. A Celebration of Life will be held at Hampton House on Hodgins Avenue in Chilliwack on Sunday, December 5 at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Alzheimer Society of BC.

With sadness, the family of Helmut Kuester would like to announce his passing from this life into the next on Sunday, November 28, 2010, in Chilliwack, BC. Helmut was born on June 4, 1947 in Kapfenberg Austria. He emigrated to Canada, along with his parents, John and Anna, and his brother, Henry, in 1950. After living in Yarrow for a short time, he
grew up in Sardis. He was always known as a hard worker; in his youth many summers were spent picking beans and berries and hauling hay for the local farmers. At age sixteen, he began a career on the tugboats, which lasted for twenty-two years. In his later years he worked for the John I. Haas Hop Company for Wisbey’s Farms. Helmut is survived by his wife, Roxanne. He also leaves six children: Bryan, Lawna, Clayton, Amber, Loriann and
Haley; ten grandchildren and two brothers, Henry (Lorraine) and Ron (Cindy), and his sister Monica (Bryan) Gordon. Helmut was predeceased by his parents John and Anna.
