Riots ruin good deed for Chilliwack woman Vikki Hopes Black Press A local woman was among the victims of the riot following the Vancouver Canucks’ Stanley Cup loss to the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night, adding more distress to a life already filled with challenges. Crystal Ratvay, 30, has been suffering with posttraumatic migraine disorder since 2005, when the car in which she was a passenger smashed into a power pole. The pain became so debilitating that she dropped out of college, lost her job in a bank and moved back home with her parents in Abbotsford. Three months ago, Crystal decided she would forge ahead, despite her setbacks. She moved to Chilliwack and enrolled in school again. In April, her car broke down. It would cost more than $2,500 to fix, far beyond what Crystal could afford. On Wednesday, something good happened. An aunt, who lives in Port Coquitlam, said Crystal could have her old car. It was a red 1990 Chevy Cavalier, still in good running order. Crystal’s good friend, Michael, lives in an apartment in Vancouver and she made plans to watch the final Stanley Cup game with him.

Chilliwack mourns loss of Betty Fox Katie Bartel The Progress To many she was a hero, but to herself, she was just an “ordinary” woman fulfilling her son’s last wish. Canadian icon and cancer crusader Betty Fox, mother of the late Terry Fox, passed away Friday morning. “It is with considerable sadness that we share that our wife, mother and grandmother died at 8:25 a.m. [Friday] morning,” the Fox family wrote in a statement released on the Terry Fox Foundation website. The family did not disclose details of her illness. News that Betty was ill first came out two weeks ago when media reports speculated she had cancer and was living in Chilliwack Hospice. In a statement at the time, the family said reports of can-

cer were incorrect, but did confirm she was seriously ill. Her death is a huge loss, said Margaret Kostrzewa, a member of the Chilliwack Terry Fox Run Committee. “What other person can you honestly say has touched the world the way she has?” said Kostrzewa, who had to choke back tears. “She will always be in our hearts ... we will miss her dearly.” The course of Betty’s life changed dramatically when, in 1977, Terry’s leg was amputated due to osteogenic sarcoma. She supported Terry through his Marathon of Hope, following every step of the 143-day run. And after his death in 1981, Betty took on her son’s mission with just as much determination. For more than 30 years Betty was the fireball behind the Terry Fox Run and later the Terry Fox Foundation. She

quit her job, traveled the world, listened to stories, shed tears, shaved her head, spoke to more than 400,000 school children alone – all in the name of her son. “I knew what Terry started was important,” Betty told The Progress last September for the 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. “I don’t want anyone to think this has changed my life. What I have done has been for my son and because I have believed in his cause.” Former Chilliwack mayor Clint Hames, who raised the Terry Fox flag at City Hall nine times with the Fox family at his side, couldn’t imagine carrying on the way Betty and husband Rolly had after losing their child. “Not only did they carry on, they picked up the challenge he laid down and were at the forefront of a movement which endures stronger today than Continued: FOX/ p3

New rules could be boon for greenhouses: councillor Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack city reps have been lobbying hard for Health Canada to make changes to the way medical marijuana is produced — citing health and safety concerns. New rules could be coming soon, according to a release Friday by federal health minister Leona Aglukkaq. “These proposed improvements reflect concerns we have heard from all kinds of Canadians including law enforcement, fire officials, municipalities, program participants and the medical profession,”

said Minister Aglukkaq. Central is the idea of restricting medical marijuana production to licensed commercial growers, who would be regulated and inspected regularly by Health Canada. It takes individual and designated growers out of the equation under a streamlined system. The kudos started coming in swiftly. “It appears we’ve been heard,” said Coun. Chuck Stam, who is also chair of the city’s public safety committee. “From all indications, it’s a good, solid step in the right direction. “I think they’re looking at some

bold measures, like pushing the production (of medical marijuana) out of the residential areas.” Asked if he’d rather see medical grow-ops located in commercial or agricultural areas, Stam answered, “Agricultural.” In fact it could be “a boon” for the local greenhouse industry, which has fallen on hard times. “Many greenhouse operations are struggling to survive and this would allow them a commercial opportunity to grow crops,” he said. It’s logical on many levels, said the city councillor. “There would be a lot more

space in an agricultural context, which would also make sense given certain smells created. It’s more associated with a horticultural activity.” The proposed changes suggested by Health Canada were also praised by the local MP. Growing medical marijuana in neighbourhoods “is a fire and health hazard” that’s become “easily exploited by a dangerous criminal element,” according to Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl. “I am very pleased the government has listened to concerns expressed by law enforcement, fire officials and our own municipality

and is taking action to make our neighbourhoods safer,” he said. Personal-use and designatedperson production licences would be phased out and individuals would no longer be able to grow marijuana for medical purposes in their homes and communities. Participants would no longer submit application forms or personal medical information to Health Canada to obtain an authorization to possess marijuana. Patients will take their access documents from their doctors directly to the licensed commercial producer. Continued: RULES/ p6

Betty Fox: The right person for a tough job Fox remembered B for her courage etty Fox was a tough lady. No, check that. Betty Fox was a mom who had to be tough. Four kids, three boys. Working-class Port Coquitlam. Her second-youngest son is diagnosed with cancer. His leg is amputated. That’s enough to deal with. That’s enough for a lifetime. But the boy pushes. He saw things on the cancer ward. Just going on with his life minus one leg isn’t enough for the determined young man. In the kitchen of their PoCo home a day after he completes a Richard 17-mile run, DAL MONTE he tells her his plan to run across Canada — a marathon a day to raise money for cancer research on one good leg and a prosthesis. Betty reacts like a mom. We don’t know the precise words but they approximate “Are you nuts?” She tells him it’s a stupid idea and he’s smarter than that. She tells him no able-bodied person has ever run from Newfoundland to B.C. She fights, a mom trying to protect her child from himself. To no avail. Tough mom, determined kid. The rest of the story need not be repeated; it has become a hero’s legend in Canada, complete with requisite tragic ending. But that’s just the beginning of Betty Fox’s story, a heroine’s tale in its own right. Where you or I might have retreated in our grief, Betty and the Fox family stepped forward. Where most would have

held close their personal memories and moments, Betty went public. Where many might allow the Marathon of Hope to fade into history as something too painful to think about day after day, Betty embraced it, embraced her son’s cause and made it her own, embraced it and worked in spite of the pain, because of the pain. Could your mom do that? Sacrifice herself for something bigger? All moms are different but they all know sacrifice. They eat the crusts. They scrimp and save. They do without so their kids don’t have to. They are strong when their children aren’t. That’s a mom, right? That’s Betty. That’s Betty, continuing her late son’s cancer-fighting crusade, making it her full-time job for the last 30 years. That’s Betty, hugging school kids coast to coast and telling them Terry’s story. That’s Betty, preserving

Terry’s grassroots ideals, eschewing the potential quick money of corporate sponsorship because of the potential costs. That’s Betty, standing up on stage at the Terry Fox Hometown Run in PoCo year after year, flanked by her husband, Rolly, and the mayor and a rock band and even Rick Hansen, and holding every ear with her words of encouragement, every eye with that white hair, that broad smile and that gaze that so recalled Terry’s. She talked a great deal about what Terry did, what Terry wanted, considerably less about what he meant to Canada. In fact, she admitted to a reporter just last year that it wasn’t until a few years ago she “finally, truly understood what Terry meant to people,” a realization that came to her after watching impoverished children in Bangladesh running in his name. And if she never before truly

understood Terry’s meaning to our nation, and most acutely to residents of his hometown, it’s unlikely she gave a moment to consider her own place in Canada’s pantheon of heroes and heroines. Just like a mom, she preferred the spotlight from the outside looking in, stepping into it only when there was no other choice. Even when she earned the honour of carrying the Olympic flag into BC Place stadium at the Vancouver 2010 opening ceremonies, she deflected attention, saying, “Terry was utmost in my mind. I was very proud to be a part of the Olympic ceremony but it was all for Terry. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been there.” She’s right. Of course, she’s right. Terry lit the fire and she tended it for three decades. It was a tough job but somebody had to do it. Richard Dal Monte is editor of The Tri-City News.

yesterday,” Hames said. “I had the greatest admiration for Betty and Rolly ... and know that an entire country joins in saying thank you to the family for sharing Terry and Betty with the world.” To date, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $550 million dollars for cancer research, with 90 per cent of all donations going directly into cancer research and supports. The accomplishments of Betty and the foundation are incredible, said city Coun. Chuck Stam, whose teenaged son is a cancer survivor. “She denied the commercialization of Terry’s name ... and yet, [the foundation] still got national recognition,” said Stam. “She was an admirable, courageous woman, one of our folk heroes. This is a big loss not only locally, but internationally. We are all feeling it.” Paralympian Rick Hansen, whose Man in Motion Tour was inspired by Terry’s Marathon of Hope, released a statement Friday. “It is with a heavy heart that I mourn the loss of my dear friend, Betty Fox,” he said. “Betty was a remarkable woman, who will be sorely missed. Her enthusiasm and compassion were infectious, and her tireless dedication to pursuing Terry’s dream inspired millions to believe in a world without cancer. Betty was a devoted community leader whose accomplishments and impact are a true testament to the power of one individual, and the influence they can have on the lives of others.” Betty’s celebrity status was made most evident last year when she was selected to carry the Olympic flag for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics along with other famed Canadians that included Donald Sutherland, Anne Murray, Bobby Orr, Jacques Villeneuve, Romeo Dallaire and Barbara Ann Scott. A Facebook page leading up to the Olympics, which had more than 129,000 members, had wanted Betty to light the Olympic flame. “I am very honoured that so many people in Canada still believe in Terry 30 years later,” she told The Progress following the opening ceremonies. “Just being there, being a part of the Olympics was, for me, all about Terry. I was there in place of Terry.” Betty and Rolly have three other children: Fred, Darrell and Judith and nine grandchildren. kbartel@theprogress.com ~ with files from Tri-City News

Barton International is always focused on the lovingly detailed automobiles more than anything else. More than 300 specimens are expected to roll into the downtown to wow the spectators. A total of about 15,000 attended last year. “The success of this event is a tribute to the many great car builders and enthusiasts from Chilliwack and beyond,” said Popove. Although it’s not confirmed yet, it’s possible Caroline the Tank might be part of the show. “They recently popped an engine into it, so the older guys especially will get a kick out of seeing it,” he said. A total of 10 trophies will be handed out, including ones for Dealer’s Choice, People’s Choice and Mayor’s Choice.

Tyson Road site selected for new library Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack officials have been planning a new library on the south-side for years. Now they have their eye on a specific location. Council will consider 5819 Tyson Road, the

Twin Rinks site, as the future location for the proposed library facility at its meeting on Tuesday, June 21. The proposed library location is subject to future rezoning. "It was seen as a good, central area, located where the growth is and where the growth will

be in the future," said Coun. Chuck Stam. The city owns the Tyson Road property. "So we don't have that cost tacked on to the total," he said. It would be located between Mt. Slesse

middle and Twin Rinks. A slight relocation of the existing skate park will be required during the construction, Stam added. "It won't be a massive building, but more of a satellite library," he

said. "We have to be respectful of the marketplace, and of the future when it comes to community spaces like libraries. Maybe they'll be more research and technology based in the future."

Agencies welcoming changes to medical grow-op rules RULES from p3 The feds would also cease contracting out for the production and distribution of dried marijuana or marijuana seeds for medical purposes. The commercial

producers would be regulated by Health Canada and be the “only legal source of dried marijuana for medical purposes,” according to the proposal. The changes were lauded by Federation of Canadian Municipalities president

Berry Vibranovic. “We welcome the federal government’s commitment to develop smarter rules that allow municipalities to do our job protecting neighbourhood safety and delivering front-line police, fire and emergency services,”

he said. Legalization or decriminalization of marijuana is not a part of the proposed changes, the minister warned. Marijuana will continue to be regulated as a controlled substance under the Controlled Drugs and

Substances Act. A nationwide public consultation period runs until July 31, seeking feedback on the proposal. Check out http://www. hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/ consultation/marihuana/_2011/program/index-

eng.php for more on the consultation and the proposed changes. “With such a short consultation period, it won’t go on ad nauseum. It will be short and sweet, and we can move on to solutions,” said Stam.

Police warn of female sex offender Vikki Hopes Black Press Police have issued a warning that a female sex offender who has been released from prison might be residing in, or frequenting, Abbotsford. Const. Ian MacDonald said Audrey Elizabeth Jean Black, 34, is of concern because her offences involved children five and under. This is the second public warning that police have issued this year about Black. The first was provided by RCMP in Chilliwack, where Black resided after her release from jail on May 6. She had served a four-year sentence for sexual offences against young children in Saskatchewan, and for publishing child pornography. Conditions of her release included that she not attend any public park, playground, recreation centre or other place where children were expected to be. “Her method of operating is to offer babysitting and child care/daycare services and communicating online with children,” police said at the time. Members of the community reported on two occasions that Black had breached that condition, and she was sent back to jail on May 16. She was released again on Thursday. She is described as 6’ 1”, 220 pounds and with black hair and blue eyes. Anyone observing Black violate her conditions is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-8595225.

Grad party gets out of hand A teen learned the hard way to be wary of what you post on social media sites after almost 300 people showed up at his grad party Friday night on Ford Road. He told police he had planned a graduation party in the barn for 40 people, but things were out of control already when more

than a couple hundred extra showed up. Several cabs were called and the party was shut down. The youth told police he had underestimated the power of Facebook when he posted about his party. Police are reminding 2011 grads to be responsible and safe as they celebrate this season.

RIOT from Front She parked her car on Seymour Street near a church parking lot. When the rioting began, they looked down on the street. Crystal saw a girl walking through the crowd and get pushed into someone else, who then punched her. People were throwing beer bottles, and there were fights all around. At 11 p.m., they ventured into the street. It was dark and gloomy, and the windows of every store they passed were shattered. Police and clean-up crews were everywhere. They arrived at her car, and discovered the Cavalier had been flipped onto its roof. Smashed glass littered the ground around the vehicle. Crystal was crushed not only by what had been done to her, but to an entire city. She slumped to the ground, leaned against the wall, and wept. • Related story, page 14

Two Chilliwack women are making their mark on the tattoo and body art business in Chilliwack. Kaie Peters and Crystal Kurosawa recently decided to combine their talents and open Radical Distractionz in Chilliwack. It was part of a vision to create an all-female owned and operated body modification business. “Our philosophy is that safe and professional piercings and tattoos are the way to go,” said Kurosawa. It took about a year for the pair of 20-somethings to get going from a tiny storefront space on Princess Avenue at first. Soon it was hopping with tattoo and piercing clients who came to check them out. But they still felt somehow they’d do even better in another location. Eventually they decided to make the big move, and they leased another space still fairly close to downtown. It took weeks of renovations and painting, but now they’re

working away from a spacious eight-room location in Victorian Court Plaza, across from Southgate Shopping Centre. It was important to them to make it a bright, clean, and colourful workspace that clients would be drawn to. “We’ve really tried to make our environment as comfortable and approachable as possible,” said Kurosawa.

thing different. “Realtors use a lot of other businesses,” he says. So why not bring them together in an open and inviting environment – a place where people can talk, exchange ideas and maybe help each other get things done? That kind of cross-pollination is what Johnston hopes to accomplish with his business centre. And he’s already on his way. Walk into the centre and it’s clear there’s something different going on. The large foyer of the former credit union has been retained. But the leather furniture, decorative fireplace, wood-grain flooring and flat screen TV offers all the comfort of a family room. “We watched the Stanley Cup final here last night,” Johnston says with a laugh. Lining the common area are a series of offices that house a diverse array of businesses, like a mortgage broker, marketing firm and drafting service. They share the common area and take advantage of other shared resources, like phone,

Business doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It thrives in the fresh air of new ideas and is pushed by the winds of innovation. That atmosphere is something Kelly Johnston is creating at his Sutton Group Business Centre in downtown Chilliwack. Johnston recently relocated his realty office to the former Envision Financial building on the corner of Princess and Young. But he didn’t just change locations. He reinvented the group’s way of doing business. Johnston had thought about moving out of his 5,600-square foot facility and into larger premises that better suited his aims for expansion. “I felt like a fish in a cup,” he says. As he toured the 15,000-square foot building left vacant when Envision moved to Cheam Ave., the wheels started turning. “As I walked through, I thought, ‘I can grow here.’” But bigger isn’t necessarily better.

R AESIDE

Triumph of the stupid It was not the kind of Hollywood ending Canuck fans had hoped for: A Game 7 win before a hometown crowd, bringing to an end a 40-year quest for the Stanley Cup. Instead, the script read more like “The Good, The Bad and The Stupid.” First, The Good. They were the majority. They were the true hockey fans who filled the Rogers Arena each night, who sang out Canada’s anthem with gusto, who stood and politely congratulated the Boston Bruins as they hoisted the cup. They were also the ones who went home after the game, to commiserate their loss with friends and family. And they were the ones who, in the midst of the mayhem and at great personal risk, attempted to stop the destruction. Then there was The Bad. These were the people who came to Wednesday night’s street party with a clear intent on causing trouble. They were the ones who brought with them the tools of destruction, saw the event, not as a celebration, but as opportunity to engage in their own criminal acts. And finally, there was The Stupid. Despite the insistence by police and politicians the riot was the work of “anarchists” and others, much of it was done by idiots too easily swept along by the chaos. They were the ones who lacked the brains or the moral courage to go home when things turned ugly. They were the ones too stupid to appreciate the damage they inflicted went far beyond a store window, but to the reputation of a tourist-dependent city. They were the ones too stupid to consider the emotional damage their actions had on the innocent people trying to escape, like Crystal Ratvay who returned to her vehicle to find it smashed and on its roof. (See story, page 1) They were the ones who cheered others as they rolled over cars, busted windows and looted stores. And they were the ones too stupid to realize that there is no anonymity in the digital age; that the photos they so willingly posed for inevitably find their way to their families, employers, and maybe one day their kids. The rehabilitation of Vancouver’s reputation has begun in earnest. But it seems unlikely that the Game 7 riot will be remembered by anything other than the triumph of the stupid. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Decision day draws near for HST With the HST referendum package in the mail, the oddly struck question now needs an answer: “Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST (harmonized sales tax) and reinstating the PST (provincial sales tax) in conjunction with the GST (goods and services tax)? (Yes/No). If you want to extinguish, or get rid of, the HST, vote Yes; if you want to keep the HST, vote No. After all that brouhaha last year over the HST and the way it was introduced the year previously (and which proved to be Gordon Campbell’s downfall), recent polls show that the public’s view on the tax has changed. According to an online survey of randomly selected British Columbians conducted by Angus

Reid, 56 per cent would vote Yes to extinguish the HST while 44 per cent would vote No. A year ago, 82 per cent would have voted Yes to get rid of it while just 18 per cent would have voted No to keep it. They were sepaMargaret rated by a whopEVANS ping 64 points compared to now where they are separated by just 12 points. What changed? People got beyond the hype, took a breath and had a chance to evaluate a year of HST buying. Many likely saw little difference in living costs. For some 80 per cent of purchases, the tax on goods is the same as under the old GST/

PST system. The tax is higher on those purchases that were previously PST-exempt. Many enjoyed the quarterly rebate cheques. And the anger seemed to dissipate with Campbell gone from the scene. Apparently, the animosity came primarily from women (64 per cent), people aged 18-34 (62 per cent), and people in households with an annual income below $50,000 (59 per cent). The poll showed that 59 per cent of respondents have not put off a major purchase because of the HST. However, 24 per cent held off buying anything over $500, 22 per cent avoided a purchase over $5,000, 22 per cent postponed a trip and 16 per cent postponed work with a contractor (home renovations for instance). Credibility was a big factor in

grappling with the new tax system. While there’s real caution in putting trust in politicians, British Columbians respected small business owners (63 per cent) and economists and academics (61 per cent) as being credible to varying degrees when talking about the HST. By contrast, Premier Christie Clark received a 40 per cent credibility vote compared to NDP Opposition Leader Adrian Dix who received 35 per cent. To sweeten the pot, Clark announced recently that the Liberal government will reduce the B.C. portion of the HST to six per cent July 1st 2012 and to five per cent July 1st 2014 bringing the HST to a combined 10 per cent tax. But that reduction in the B.C. portion of the tax won’t apply if the Yes vote wins and we

go back to some format of a 12 per cent GST/PST tax system. The trouble with the ballot question is that, if it’s not read carefully, it could be misleading. The answers are instinctively counter to what you think you’re voting for. In the survey a sizeable proportion of people got it the other way around where 17 per cent – and 19 per cent of those ready to vote Yes – mistakenly thought that if the Yes side wins, the HST goes down to 10 per cent. If the Yes side wins, we’re stuck with some form of the old GST/PST system and the 12 per cent tax. A Yes vote means get rid of the HST; a No vote means keep it with a two-point reduction to a 10 per cent tax.

Premier Clark said “she wanted those who participated in the rioting and looting to face jail time, not just a slap on the wrist.” I believe that if she is serious about criminality and reviews of what happened an open and all encompassing public inquiry for the BC Rail scandal should be forth coming in the very near future.

Returning troops deserve thanks As the combat mission in Afghanistan transitions into other military activities, The Royal Canadian Legion would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to those service men and women, and their families, who have served with distinction and sacrificed on behalf of Canadians during these past several years. Their contribution to the well-being

and care of another country’s populace is a tremendous reflection of Canada’s efforts toward maintaining global peace and we are proud of the way you have represented us. Words are not enough to convey how grateful we are for their commitment and dedication. As a national endeavour, I am encouraging local branches to

hold appreciation events for veterans of the Afghanistan mission this coming August, in order to remember those who have fallen, thank those who have returned and to celebrate how proud you and your families have made us to be Canadian. Patricia Varga Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

Referendum not just about the HST We need to look back to the beginnings of this HST fray and remember that it wasn’t just another tax that angered the public; it was the way it was done. No need to rewind that sordid story and its aftermath, but don’t think it won’t be a factor in the upcoming referendum vote. Taxpayers felt scorned, manipulated and disrespected by the political establishment and left without democratic representation as their elected representatives hung them out to dry and supported the tax, with the sole exception of Blair Leckstrom,

but whom now supports it as a cabinet minister. Such is the sad perversion wrought by the doctrine of party discipline which has hijacked democratic representation. The top few who run this province are gyrating with offers and maneuvers to save the tax, but it would be a huge mistake for taxpayers to roll over for these people. By offering a few minor adjustments to the original scheme they infer they think we are somewhat Pavlovian and can be made to do anything if we are given a treat, a

pat and a promise they will actually make the adjustments after the vote. $7 million of our money allocated by the government arguing for the tax versus $250,000 for the against side is further cynical disrespect. I personally am astounded by the fact that in all the words of advocacy spoken and written by politicians, and for that matter some of the media, I have not heard a single, solitary word of concern or sympathy about where the money has to come from; the taxpayers pocket which is

already taxed to hell. It has all been about how HST best serves the government’s needs. So when you vote, just remember you are also voting not to be kicked around by an inadequate system of representation that should have seen your MLA fighting like a tiger for you because the vast majority of you clearly thought this tax was unfair. You need to teach the system a lesson; don’t trivialize me. Make them dig their own way out of the hole they dug for themselves in the first place.

10% IF HST REMAINS The Federal government has made it the law to reduce the HST in BC. The HST will drop from the current 12% to 10% in two stages -- if BC doesn't go back to the 12% GST/PST. The BC Government asked Ottawa to reduce the HST to reduce the cost to families, and now it is law. 10% HST will save the average BC family $120 per year compared to going back to the higher 12% GST/PST. Since 2001, the BC Government has decreased provincial income taxes by 37%. BC gained 5,200 jobs in May and 30,000 more people are working compared to last year at this time.* Lower taxes and more jobs. It's working for BC. *Employment ﬁgures courtesy of Statistics Canada

Ode to Game 7 riot Sure we lost the Cup; sure it shattered dreams, But still it was found necessary to take it to the streets, Breaking windows, beating people, treating cars like trash, For a city so sophisticated, I thought we had some class, People in the Middle East will riot for their freedom, The violence isn’t right, but its for something they believe in, I’m ashamed to say I’m from the city that caused so much distress, To you looting, cowardly hooligans: no one is impressed, And as though our team didn’t already feel bad enough, Now the riot is pinned on them, because they didn’t win the Cup, My heart goes out to those who tried to keep it clean, But instead were brutally beaten and left out on the street, To the world that thinks this was just a group of angry fans, No REAL fans participated in this awful, gruesome act, It was troublemakers and miscreants who believed it would be wise, I can’t wait until they’re caught; they’re all in for a surprise, I have to thank the rioters; I hope you realize just what you’ve done, And now because of you, our city can’t have fun.

open areas, not jammed into narrow city streets,” he added. Russell said Vancouver organizers could easily have had a different nightmare on their hands – a stampede – because of the dense concentration of revelers. “It’s a setting for a panic when people are confined like that,” he said. “If a bomb or incendiary device goes off nearby you could have a major panic there instead of a riot.” Scores of people have died before at European soccer stadium or concert stampedes, he said. He said it seemed the Vancouver organizers were aiming for some sort of attendance record. Fighters in a riot tend to be young single males who are angry, disaffected and on the outskirts of society, Russell said, but added there’s much more to it than that stereotype. “These people feed on excitement,” he said. “They act suddenly, without any reason and they will just explode.” Another three to seven per cent of a crowd typically become instigators, egging on the fighters. About seven per cent of people pack up and leave at the first sign of violence, he said, while up to 19 per cent become “peacemakers” trying to calm or restrain rioters and the largest group – about 60 per cent – will simply stand around and watch. An investigator who examined the 1994 Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver said key recommendations he provided then were ignored this time. Bob Whitelaw said the failure to enforce a no-parking zone in the downtown core let fans attack parked vehicles. He also said fans were allowed to gather in large numbers and should have been quickly dispersed and ushered out of the downtown area. As in 1994, Whitelaw said, police seemed to be standing around and not taking pre-emptive action.

retired expert on sports riots argues. “They invited 100,000 people to attend this, which I think was a big mistake,” said Gordon Russell, a social psychologist from the University of Lethbridge who now lives in B.C. He cited his past research that roughly three per cent of people who attend large sports events have a predisposition to fight or spark trouble and many of them have antisocial or psychopathic tendencies. Russell said that means 3,000 people in the Vancouver crowd could be expected to be prone to violence and what happened should not have come as a surprise. “I would have told them not to invite everybody to Seymour Street,” he said. “Split them up. Have five celebrations.” Sur r ey and Abbotsford did have their own celebration sites, but Russell said three more in places like Richmond and other parts of Metro Vancouver could have helped, coupled with a reduced emphasis on the downtown party. Dividing up the problem would make policing it easier, he said. “Use sites in wide

Lonely road symbolizes depression Raising awareness for clinical depression

Laura Parke’s Alaskan Malamute, Kuma, is in need of a surgery which costs about $3,000. Parke and her boyfriend have already raised $1,700 but they need help to raise the remaining amount. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Saving Kuma, loving Kuma Katie Bartel The Progress The fundraising poster reads Saving Kuma, but it could just as equally be titled Loving Kuma. Laura Parke and Alex Letkeman love their dog as though she were their flesh-and-blood daughter. They laugh with her, play with her, show her off every chance they get. They even got secondary jobs to ensure their girl didn’t go without. And when she got sick at six months old, they did whatever they could to make her better – just as most parents would. Kuma is a one-and-a-half year old Alaskan Malamute, a large, domestic breed dog that looks to be a cross between a wolf and a husky, who has an easy, attention-getting, loves-to-bepet, child-like temperament. She also has salivary mucocele, a serious genetic condition that if left untreated could become fatal. A specialized surgery to correct the condition is $3,000, an expense the young family is struggling to meet. A fundraising webpage has been set up for Kuma in hopes of raising the funds before further complications arise. So far, $1,718 has been raised. Salivary mucocele causes calcium deposits, similar to kidney stones, to build up in the salivary ducts. Over time, the ducts get blocked, which results in saliva building up and collecting in pockets under the tongue.

When the first pocket was discovered, the family veterinarian lanced and drained it. That was the first of Kuma’s surgeries. The pockets continued to fill; Kuma’s had three surgeries to drain them. In April, a large grapefruit-sized blockage was found in her neck. “It was full of saliva,” says Parke. When one of her ducts got blocked and burst due to the pressure, “it forced the problem down into her neck.” Kuma was put on the operating table yet again where the lump was drained for five days. But not even 12 hours after the wound closed, the lump started filling again. Kuma’s vet could do no more. A specialist in Langley told them their best option would be to remove all of Kuma’s lower salivary glands, leaving her with just a couple near her ears. The surgery is $3,000. Parke and Letkeman have already spent $2,600 on the four prior surgeries; their funds are fast diminishing. Right around the same time Kuma’s last lump was discovered, Parke was diagnosed with tendonitis in her right elbow. As a result, she was off work for close to two months and is only now on a back-to-work program where she’s only able to work four hours maximum a day, which amounts to approximately 15-20 hours a week; not enough to afford Kuma’s surgery. Without surgery, the lump will continue to grow and the risk for infection is high. Kuma is already suffering.

“When she lays on her back, which is her favourite way to sleep, the lump compresses her airways and she gurgles and chokes because of the pressure,” says Parke. “If we left the lump alone, it would become too large, it would affect her mobility, eating and drinking ... I don’t want her to suffer.” Some have chided the couple for getting an animal without having a bank account large enough to manage medical emergencies. Parke, however, said they were prepared. They had done extensive research in what it would take to care for a dog and what kind of dog would be perfect for their lifestyle. And they got secondary jobs to afford a doggy daycare so Kuma wouldn’t be alone and wouldn’t have to be kept in a crate for eight hours a day. (The daycare is now donating Kuma’s bill to her surgery fund.) When asked about the possibility of having to put Kuma down if the condition worsens, Parke’s face grew visibly pained. “I don’t even want to think about that. She has become such a part of our family and is so attached to us, and we’re so attached to her. “She’s only a year and a half, she still has a long life ahead of her.” For more information and updates on Kuma, or to donate via PayPal, visit her website at www.helpkuma.webs.com. Donation sites have also been set up at Posh Paws City Kennel on Broadway, and Scruffy Tail Pet Food and Supplies on Promontory. kbartel@theprogress.com

A Chilliwack man is hoping to shine a light on clinical depression through his motorcycle. On June 19, Douglas Janzen will be embarking on a motorcycle ride he’s calling Road2Blue from Chilliwack to Inuvik, Canada’s high arctic. He will be alone and unsupported for the entire ride – in the same way people with clinical depression often feel they are. “Everyone knows someone with depression but nobody wants to talk about it,” said Douglas. “If people started talking openly about depression, those who battle it would be more likely to get proper treatment; the stigma would be reduced.” Depression and mood disorders affect over one million Canadians, interfering with a person’s ability to work, study, sleep, eat and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Several high achieving people, including Olympian Clara Hughes, actor Harrison Ford, singer Janet Jackson, and Sir Winston Churchill all successfully battled clinical depression. But not everyone is successful in their battle. Two college classmates of Janzen’s did not survive depression and died in their 20s. “Those who don’t know much about clinical depression might flippantly describe a depressed person as being a little blue or unmotivated,” said Janzen on his Road2Blue website. “They don’t realize that depressed people actually have an illness that is beyond their control.” A few years ago a young woman Janzen knows was also diagnosed with depression in her teens. While this girl had always been somewhat reserved, in just a few months she became reclusive, selfcentred, moody, and unpleasant to be around. It wasn’t until her parents noticed scars from self mutilation and heard her talking of suicide, that they realized the changes in her personality were more than just teenage hormones. With diagnosis, she was put into counseling, underwent cognitive behaviour therapy, and was put on medication. Her family was also educated in the signs of depression. “The woman and her family are fortunate,” said Janzen. “Many people don’t recognize the signs of depression soon enough.” Depression can be difficult to detect in teens but experts advise that early diagnosis and aggressive treatment can be the difference between a full, normal, productive life, or no life at all.

Matching clients to wines they will love – at prices they are comfortable with – is what she loves to do. It’s an education process that includes regular wine-tasting events at her store. Every Friday and Saturday between 3-6 p.m., select wineries offer a taste tour of their products. “Try before you buy,” says Murphy with a smile. Wine isn’t the only product at the store.

there was just one more available, she jumped at the chance to apply. The journey began in 2009, but it wasn’t until October of last year that Murphy completed the rigorous application process and was able to open her shop. Like B.C.’s wine industry, Sardis Park VQA BC Wine Store had humble beginnings. While awaiting construction of a building, the shop operated out of a trailer on the property. Despite the “cosy” surroundings, the shop quickly drew a dedicated cliental. Today – six months earlier than planned – Murphy is welcoming wine enthusiasts to her new location at Sardis Park. The bright and airy shop offers room to showcase the wines Murphy is so passionate about. Shelved according to the grape variety, customers can

That reputation has been nurtured by an introduction of tough standards established in 1990. The VQA designation is an “Appellation of Origin” system that sets out strict production protocols that wineries must follow to qualify. Not only must the grapes be grown in specific regions in B.C., but the wine must also be bottled here. The wines are also tasted at two stages to ensure they meet minimum standards. That system of quality control, says Murphy, has helped elevate British Columbia’s wine industry to something that today can compete on an international scale. Part of the VQA process was the establishment of a handful of stores that sold exclusively VQA wines. Licenses are hard to come by. And when Murphy learned

CONGRATULATIONS to the Canucks for a great season!

Kim Murphy is passionate about wine. Specifically, the owner of Sardis Park VQA is passionate about B.C. wine. That enthusiasm, evident to anyone walking into her new permanent location on Vedder Road and Stevenson, was born more than two decades ago at a chance wine tasting in the Okanagan. “I was just amazed at what B.C. could do,” says Murphy, who moved to the interior after graduating from Chilliwack secondary. Since then, Murphy has been part of a B.C. wine industry that today has matured into something that places it among the finest wine-producing regions in the world. It has earned acclaim, not just locally, but internationally.

Fire fighter Terry Hughes is one of those heroes – whose job it is to keep others safe, even if it means risking his own safety. He is also a Regional Director of the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund, where he often meets heroes of another kind – burn survivors. With the loyal support of more than 3,800 fire fighters across the province who volunteer their time – not to mention generous members of the public who donate – the Burn Fund offers a variety of programs to support survivors of all ages. "With our annual summer Burn Camp for kids, we give children survivors a chance to be among their peers and really just enjoy the experience of camp," Hughes said, noting the Burn Fund's reach extends throughout B.C. and the Yukon. "Through the various programs run by the Burn Fund, we give burn survivors the ability to gain confidence and move forward through life." As one of the largest fundraisers for the Burn Fund (www.burnfund.org), Hughes said the money raised by the Hometown Heroes Lottery provides a large and important boost to the fund's programs. "We depend very much upon the Hometown Heroes Lottery," he said. "The funds help us to continue the good work that the Burn Fund does throughout the year, and we couldn't continue without

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Teenager’s life turned upside down Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The house is quiet. Everyone is asleep and the only sounds she hears are the hum of the refrigerator and the occasional car driving past on Alexander Avenue. She is not asleep. Lot of trouble with that lately. Slightly built, she moves cat-like around the darkened apartment until she reaches his bedroom door. She opens it just enough to slip through, and sidles over to his bed. And she watches. She breathes a silent sigh of relief as she sees his chest rising and falling, the rhythmic in-and-out of healthy lungs at work. She follows this same routine every night, momentarily comforted yet forever haunted by the thought that one night her baby will be gone. Such a strange thing to worry about with an 18-year-old boy. ❖❖❖ As the calendar flipped from 2009 to 2010, life was good for Kyle Lorteau. Very good. A standout guard on the Chilliwack secondar y school senior boy’s basketball team, he was looking forward to his final season and the very real chance to net a post-secondary scholarship. Every morning, Kyle bounced out of bed and headed for the CSS gym where he’d spend an hour before school working on his jump shot or cross-over dribble. Most days he’d be back at it after school, sometimes practising until 10 or 11 at night. Tall and lanky and wearing glasses to help with nearsightedness, he looked more computer techie than hoops star. But with the ball in his hands he could be a magician, spotting a teammate with a well-timed pass or arcing a perfect shot from beyond the three point line. Nothing but net. Quiet and likeable off the court, with a razor-sharp and lightningquick wit, Kyle spent spare offcourt hours with his circle of friends — playing video games, watching movies and living the idyllic life of a teenager free of adult concerns and responsibilities. And then everything changed. Kyle woke up one morning and noticed a small bulge on the left side of his scrotum. Assuming it would just go away, he brushed it off and went about his business. But it didn’t go away. Over a month and a half it got bigger, slowly at first and then faster, to the point where it looked

like a third testicle. Kyle was uncomfortable just sitting down but he still couldn’t bring himself to make an appointment to have it checked out by a doctor. Too awkward. Unbelievably he continued to play basketball, and it was during a game that he finally decided he’d had enough. “There was this small guy I was posting up, and every time I turned around he would hit me in the nuts,” Kyle said. “I don’t know if it was his tactic or what, but he did it three times in a row, and it was really, really painful.” Parents Chad and Flora knew something was wrong, even if they couldn’t pin it down. Kyle said nothing, but Flora noticed he had altered his wardrobe. He wore only the loosest-fitting track pants and he looked much paler than usual. After that last basketball game Kyle came home and he could hardly walk. “I got hit hard and it’s huge now,” Kyle croaked through a tremendous amount of pain. At last, Kyle had to admit to himself that this wasn’t going to disappear. But even then, Kyle and his parents underestimated the severity of

the problem, going with hernia as the most likely explanation. As a baby, Kyle had a hernia that had presented in the exact same spot with the exact same symptoms. The diagnosis fit. When Kyle finally saw a doctor he suggested something similar but different — perhaps a blown Hydroceles was to blame for the accumulation of fluid, golf ball-sized bulge and resulting pain. Not for one second did anyone suspect what the real problem was. Kyle was sent to a surgeon for a consult in Langley, and he was the first to mention the C word. Two weeks later, Kyle was wheeled in for a theoretically routine exploratory procedure, with that same surgeon presenting him with lottery ticket odds. One in a million chance that it’s a tumour and even less that it’s cancerous.

Hours later Kyle woke up to find he’d won the lottery. Chad and Flora sat in the waiting room at 6:30 that morning to ride out a surger y that they expected to be little more than two hours long. Around hour four, Flora started rocking nervously in her chair, certain that something had gone wrong but unable to find anyone to tell her what. They still hadn’t talked to a doctor by the time they made their way up to the recovery room six and a half hours later. Kyle was laying in bed, still wonky from the after-affects of anesthesia. He looked up. “Oh yeah, Mom. It’s a tumour and I’ve got cancer. Ah ha ha!” Flora remembers hearing those exact words, wondering if her son was high on anesthetic gas.

Moments later the surgeon hustled into the room and delivered the news in more definitive fashion. First off, Kyle wasn’t delusional. If it was what the doctor suspected it was, the teenager was a true rarity — one of seven people in the entire world to be living with Rhabdomyosarcoma, an extremely aggressive fast-growing form of cancer. The surgeon was hopeful that they’d removed all of it during the lengthy procedure, but four weeks later he was proven wrong. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed the cancer was alive and well, moving up to the stomach and chest, with another lesion on his hip. Kyle was faced with another surgery, this one far more invasive, followed by weeks and weeks of chemotherapy. To that point, he’d rolled with the punches like a true champion. But hearing all of this was too much to take. The dam burst and his emotions finally flooded out. “When they started talking about chemotherapy and surgery and radiation, I don’t even know how to explain it,” he said. “All I could think about was the things Continued NEXT PAGE

Congratulations Class of 2011! Unity Christian WE FINALLY MADE IT!

CONTINUED from p20

On behalf of Unity Christian School’s Graduating class of 2011, we would like to publicly thank our parents, teachers and coaches for guiding us throughout our time here at Unity. Your support and care has not gone overlooked! No matter how long we have attended Unity, we have found that it is a place where we have been accepted and encouraged; a place we can call home. This school has prepared us for the journey to come, and our life’s future paths. We will always treasure the memories we’ve made and the relationships we have established. Through high school, we have discovered who we are, and what God’s purpose is for our lives. Anatole France put it best when he said, “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”

Finally, a switch to morphine did the trick and the pain started to subside. It took four days before Kyle was able to just sit up in bed, and his initial walks around the hospital ward were

A vertical incision from mid-chest to scrotum opened him up and all his organs were removed — the intestines, lungs, heart. All of them were placed to the side as the surgeon went hunting for lesions. Scheduled to take between four and five hours, this one took eight and a half hours, the longest eight and a half hours of Flora’s life. “I hit the panic button and I was absolutely going nuts,” she admitted. “I thought he was dying and I just kept saying, ‘Where is my baby? Where is my baby?’ And Chad kept hitting my leg saying, ‘Stop it! Stop it!’” After what seemed like an eternity, they were finally taken to a recovery room.
