School trustees Heather Maahs (left) and Martha Wiens speak with a contractor for the new Chilliwack secondary school, which will replace the current school, at an open house on Monday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

New CSS will mark new era in education Katie Bartel The Progress The new Chilliwack secondary school will be opening its doors to so many more learners than the current school does.

At an open house on Monday, the new school’s plans were unveiled after more than two years of planning, and more than a decade of talking.

The new school, which will be built on the north side of the current property and will face Portage Avenue, will feature three stories, a Neighbourhood Learning Centre, large student gathering spaces, a professional quality athletic field, an aboriginal cultural centre, and facilities to accommodate the Fraser Valley Distance Education school.

It will be built for 1,200 students with plans to expand up to 1,500 students.

Fifteen per cent of the new school will be devoted to the Neighbourhood Learning Centre, which will provide services for children and families, young parents and the aboriginal community.

This school, said superintendent Corinne McCabe, will change the face of education.

“It is designed to support students in many ways, in the classroom, the community, online and at work,” said McCabe.

“By bringing all these different people together under one roof, we are creating a community of learners where students will not only be learners but teachers as well.”

The new school has been a long time coming, said CSS principal Rick Anderson.

“This work started a long time ago, it started a couple of [school] boards ago, 10 to 12 years ago when we first started looking at seismic upgrades.”

The current school was built in 1950 and is not only a seismic concern, but is also one of the district’s least energy efficient facilities.

The new school will be built with LEED Gold standards (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design System) which promotes environmentally friendly designed buildings that are more efficient and use less energy through design concepts like adding more windows and skylights to incorporate more natural light

and reduce artificial light.

As well, the new school will feature several wood components on the inside and outside of the facility, which will reduce its carbon footprint, and will also honour the aboriginal community.

“I really like the use of cedar in this design,” said Sandra Victor of Cheam First Nation.

“Cedar means a lot to our First Nation community. We use it in our baskets, headbands, clothing. To me, [this school] is going to be a homecoming for our students.”

For many of the teachers, though, it was the increased gathering spaces they were impressed with.

The Falls Golf Resort is deep in the financial rough.

But unlike other grandiose visions of hillside development in Chilliwack, The Falls is the only one to actually tee off and get onto the green.

According to sources contacted by The Progress, Falls developer Rick Wellsby has put every day of his life for the past 20 years into making his 1989 vision come true.

But now the company, Blackburn Developments Ltd., has filed for bankruptcy protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act that allows him to hold off creditors, and to continue operating the resort in Chilliwack’s Eastern Hillsides.

“We’re absolutely still operating,” Falls spokesman Robert Wilson said Monday.

He said the court action has no impact on the golf course, the restaurant, or any of the events – like weddings and dinners – scheduled at the resort.

Although The Falls is $75 million in the hole, and the resort development market hard hit by the worldwide recession, Wilson said he is confident the company can weather the financial storm “and emerge stronger as a company.”

In an earlier interview, Wellsby told The Progress that a mortgage holder had called in a loan which sparked the current “cash crisis” and his subsequent petition for court protection.

Wellsby said at that the time that he was “pretty confident we can turn things around” as 12 residential units now under construction would “generate some cash flow.”

He said the company would be “unveiling a plan soon” to resolve the financial problems.

In court documents obtained by The Progress, Wellsby blamed the company’s debt problems, in part, on the City of Chilliwack and the worldwide economic meltdown of 2008.

News

Chilly in Chilliwack but no big call for shelter Jennifer Feinberg The Progress You wouldn’t know it from looking out the window this week.

Chilliwack was four days into a record-breaking cold snap by Saturday night, and still the snow kept falling.

The mercury dipped to a chilly -8.1 degrees Celsius, said Environment Canada’s volunteer

weather observer Roger Pannett of Chilliwack.

That’s more than nine degrees below normal.

It only rose to -1.2 C, netting a low mean record of -4.65 C, which made it the fifth record-low temperature of the cold snap.

Not only was it chilly in the ‘Wack, but there was also ample snowfall recorded for the month of February up to Sunday night, with

22.6 cm, compared to a 30-year average for Chilliwack of only 17 cm.

From all accounts Chilliwack managed pretty well despite the late blast of the wintery wet stuff.

By Friday, City of Chilliwack officials had spent about $440,000 of a total of $872,000 for the 2011 winter budget. Unless there are some major storms coming in the next few weeks, the balance should

be plenty to carry them through to next November or December, according to city staff.

City crews worked overnight and into Sunday plowing snow and treating the roads with a salt brine mixture. With all the city’s snow removal equipment in action, it cost about $20,000 to deal with the weekend snowfall, estimated city staff.

But in spite of the record-break-

ing cold, there was little call for emergency shelter spaces at the Sally Ann, said Ian Pratt, coordinator of community ministries.

“We were a little surprised there’s been no demand,” he said.

“It is possible more people are doing the couch surfing thing.”

The Sally Ann opened up its soup kitchen space and got some extra cots ready, but there was Continued: SNOW/ p13

Teacher union wary of Clark’s leadership win Katie Bartel The Progress Christy Clark’s history with public education has the president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association frightened.

With just a day to go before teachers start negotiating a new contract, CTA president Katharin Midzain fears the impact B.C.’s new premier designate could have on public education.

“It’s no secret that she has issues with the [BC Teachers’ Federation] and with the College of Teachers and with public school teachers in general, she made that clear when she was education minister,” said Midzain.

“We’re entering bargaining, it’s a really critical time for public school teachers and public education and now we have a premier who doesn’t have a history of showing us a lot of regard.”

Clark was education minister from 2001 to 2004, a tenure that was plagued by school closures, budget cutbacks and union turmoil.

She was responsible for passing laws that rolled back teacher contracts signed with the previous NDP government; she made it illegal for teachers to strike; froze education spending; and blocked teachers from negotiating class size.

Despite Clark’s “families first” campaign this time around, Midzain isn’t convinced.

“It’s her idea of family,” said Midzain.

However, Chilliwack board of education chair Doug McKay isn’t so quick to judge. Because McKay didn’t move to B.C. until 2004, he has no prior background of Clark’s history in government.

“From my point of view, she gets to start right at even,” said McKay. “I’m going to give her a chance. I hope we’re able to work with her.”

In her term as education minister, Clark was also responsible for starting school planning councils that gave parents a voice in public education, as well as implementing schools of choice, which made it possible for kids to go to schools outside their catchment area.

Clark’s platform for becoming premier promised to give parents more input and choice in public education; support independent and faith-based schools; create more niche schools that focus on sports and arts in addition to academics; keep the foundation skills assessment tests; and “fix” the governance model which oversees teachers to ensure the B.C. College of Teachers’ investigation and disciplinary process is up-to-date and effective. kbartel@theprogress.com

Premier designate Christy Clark waves to supporters following her win in the third round of Saturday’s Liberal leadership race. BOAZ JOSEPH/ BLACK PRESS

Clark transitions into Premier’s chair Tom Fletcher Black Press VANCOUVER – Christy Clark started her first day as premier-designate Sunday at her son’s hockey game, with plans to appoint a cabinet, move the referendum on the harmonized sales tax up to June, and win a seat in a byelection as soon as possible.

Clark won the B.C. Liberal leadership vote Saturday, with a narrow victory over Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon on the third round of voting.

After the final vote result was revealed at the Vancouver convention centre, Clark invited her rival candidates and the rest of the B.C. Liberal MLAs up on stage and promised to work

together as a team.

Clark said she respects their decision to support other candidates – only Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy endorsed her – and she looks forward to building on the legacy of Premier Gordon Campbell.

In her speech, Clark stressed her campaign theme of families.

“My commitment to putting families first starts with job creation and fighting poverty,” Clark said. “These are going to be the top priorities for our government.”

Interim NDP leader Dawn Black issued a statement congratulating Clark, and urging her to call the legislature back into session immediately.

“Specifically, she needs to

table legislation moving up the HST referendum, establish an independent third party review of the $6 million payoff to the B.C. Liberal insiders in the B.C. Rail corruption trial, and table a new budget that invests in people, creates jobs, and helps B.C. families make ends meet,” Black said.

On the third and final ballot, Clark received 4,420 votes using the party’s weighted voting system.

After third-place contender George Abbott dropped off the ballot, Falcon finished with 4,080 points, 48 per cent of party support to Clark’s 52 per cent.

Clark held the lead after two rounds of voting in the B.C. Liberal leadership contest, with 3,575 points, fol-

lowed by Falcon with 2,564 and Abbott with 2,364.

The point totals after the first round were 789 for Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong, 2,091 for Shuswap MLA Abbott, 2,411 for Falcon and 3,209 for Clark.

The B.C. Liberal Party scrambled to find a system to get personal identification numbers to members who didn’t get them in the mail.

After mailing delays were reported around the province, the party and its vote contractor Intelivote Systems Inc. of Halifax put on extra call centre staff to relay PIN numbers to those who didn’t get them.

Party president Mickey Patryluk said the turnout was 62 per cent of the nearly 90,000 members.

Investment Success Requires Discipline

Tanja Jaeger, seen here with Edge (left) and Blizzard, is organizing a dog walk on April 2, to remember the 100 sled dogs culled in Whistler.

for a dog walk came up, and she decided to go in that direction instead, in part since Chilliwack has many dog lovers. It was spur of the moment thing.

“We want to be a part of the effort to do something about this situation,” she said. “We’re doing our best to ensure other animals don’t suffer the same tragic fate these dogs did.”

There’s nothing wrong with an adventure-oriented company offering sled dogs tours, but they have to be able to provide for them, before, during and after business is conducted, Jaeger said.

So it’s partly about getting stiffer rules in place for these types of businesses. For now she’ll be monitoring her page, circulating flyers and getting the word out, until the day of the event arrives.

Anyone planning to attend the dog walk on April 2 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. can bring their dogs and family members and join them at the off-leash area, adjacent the gravel parking lot near the intersection of Vedder Road and Chilliwack Lake Road.

There’s a long loop trail they’ll be taking.

E X P E R T

If local resident Tanja Jaeger gets her way, lots of people will be joining her in Chilliwack to remember the culled sled dogs from Whistler.

The passionate dog rescuer is organizing the Fraser Valley Walk for the Whistler 100 on the Vedder Trail on April 2, with a Facebook page that’s been attracting a little attention.

“I’m looking for people to help raise animal abuse awareness, as a city, as a province, as a nation — and as a world!” Jaeger wrote.

Attendees will be signing petitions calling for stronger animal rights legislation.

“The real goal is taking people from outrage and sadness over the slaughter, to compassion and action,” she said.

Jaeger and her family are very fond of their two husky-cross dogs, Blizzard, a huskymalamute, and Edge, a husky-wolf.

“The passion that dogs have for their family is incredible. Once they bond with you, that’s it. They give you everything.”

So far more than 50 people have said they will join her on the dog walk in April.

Jaeger told The Progress she believes “in the power” of rescuing dogs, and said the husky dogs were even more adoptable than others, since they had ample experience with children.

“This was not just about sled dogs, but any dogs,” she said.

Dog-rescuing is a big part of her life, so she would have been willing to help get together homes and temporary spots for them.

Cascade Christian School is preparing to make a move to Brooks Avenue from its Young Road location.

The newly renamed independent school will re-open inside the Salvation Army Chilliwack Community Church on Brooks Avenue next September.

“The move will take place over the summer,” said Cascade principal Ryan Morrow, adding that some renovations have to be completed first.

The school formerly known as MEI Chilliwack had been in the same location for 19 years, inside the Chilliwack Christian Alliance building on Young Road.

Enrollment in the past ranged from 80 students up to 170 several years ago.

But Morrow expects to start out in the fall

with about 80 students from Kindergarten to Grade 9.

A change of affiliation recently ended the school’s relationship with MEI, and it is currently under a new authority, renamed as Cascade Christian.

The timing for a shift was just right, according to officials. Church officials had indicated

to the school that they wished to use the space for church purposes.

“As those changes were happening, we were evaluating everything about our operation, including our lease with the Alliance Church,” Morrow explained.

“We understood it meant they are moving forward in the direction they are heading in, and it allowed us to do the same.”

They still have a good relationship.

“We also knew the Salvation Army had a facility that would be able to house a school,” Morrow said.

The school’s parents are becoming “very enthusiastic” about the move, and “it fits with our new start,” the principal said.

The Sally Ann’s Community Church property on Brooks is “beautiful” with a large playing field and green space in the back.

“I think Cascade will fit in very nicely here,” said Salvation Army Major Larry Farley,

who is senior pastor at the Salvation Army Community Church.

Creating ways for the church to reach out and connect with the larger community was underlined as a ministry direction by the congregation in 2007, he added.

So when the Cascade opportunity surfaced, it was a chance to fulfill that direction.

Since then they’ve obtained the support of their community council to move ahead with the plan to take in the school.

“It’s been a long process, and we’ve had several meetings to ensure things move along in an appropriate fashion.”

They’ve never had a school housed inside the church building on Brooks before, but they do have a day care, which will continue to operate from that location.

“We believe it’s a good match, and the move will be very good for the Salvation Army, for Cascade Christian, and for the whole community,” he said.

G.W. Graham celebrates international jazz win It was a world-class performance that left its musicians in tears.

G.W. Graham middle-secondary school’s senior jazz band won its division at the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho this past weekend.

“This is a first for a senior jazz band in our commuand the students were video-online] nity amazing,” said GWG music www.theprogress.com director Janine Webster in an email to The Progress.

“The kids were so excited when it was announced they had won, the girls were crying and the boys were beaming.”

R AESIDE

Watching Clark Christy Clark is B.C.’s new premier. How will that affect Chilliwack and the rest of the Fraser Valley area?

Clark is definitely a Vancouver-based premier, as were predecessors Gordon Campbell, Ujjal Dosanjh, Glen Clark and Mike Harcourt. She is likely soon going to be a Vancouver MLA, as it is expected she will run in Campbell’s Vancouver-Point Grey seat. He is expected to resign soon after she is sworn in as his successor.

Her practical knowledge of this area isn’t as strong as is the case with her closest contender for the job, Kevin Falcon. In her stint on CKNW as a talk show host, she on occasion showed a startling lack of understanding of the South Fraser area. She defines it, primarily, as just another part of Metro Vancouver and doesn’t seem to understand some of the unique circumstances here, such as an appalling lack of transit.

Her first challenge is to unite her party. Just one MLA supported her leadership bid, Burquitlam’s Harry Bloy. If he doesn’t get into cabinet, he’s not going to be pleased.

Kevin Falcon, backed by Chilliwack MLA John Les, finished second in the voting and is almost sure to stay in cabinet, likely in a very senior position.

Clark has suggested she may have a smaller cabinet. She is sure to want some new faces in cabinet as well.

The B.C. Conservative Party may have some new life with Clark’s victory, if she does not keep the coalition united. That could spit the right-ofcentre vote and provide an opportunity for the NDP in the next election.

And that could be the difference between opposition and government.

Clark doesn’t have much time. Even though a provincial election is theoretically two years away, there are issues like the HST referendum looming.

Clark will find that being premier is far more challenging than being a talk radio host, or even a cabinet minister.

Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

How long will the Clark honeymoon last?

All those smiles, waves, and made-for-TV hugs on stage after Christy Clark, the talk-show host outsider who won the Liberal Party leadership Saturday, were just the thin polish on a scrappy campaign fraught with resentments just barely below the surface among the Liberal establishment.

On that stage there wasn’t one cabinet minister who had supported her when she said she’d run for the leadership last December.

After all, she had walked from the Campbell government five years previously after navigating a rocky ministerial path, especially as the controversial education minister when she had imposed a hated collective agreement on teachers. Then there was the BC Rail sale scandal that still sticks, despite innocence of any involvement. The public demand for an

independent enquiry will keep biting at her heels on this one.

While the 45-year-old Premierdesignate is not a member of the Legislative Assembly having not been elected in any B.C. riding (something she’s going to have to fix with a by-election quickly) she previously represented Margaret the ridings of Port EVANS Moody Westwood and Port Moody Burnaby Mountain during the decade 1996 to 2005 and was also a former deputy premier of B.C. After leaving government she became a successful CKNW talk show host, a familiar voice that paid off in spades as being comfortably known to many British Columbians.

In the shifting dynamics of political campaigns, she took full advantage of her recognizable personality and wasted no time enlisting an army of volunteers to get out and sign up new members, then work the phones to ensure they voted. Her capitalization on those assets gave her a poll scoring far out in front of other contenders right from the get-go.

But jumping back into the political fray with eyes glued on the top dog position must have really grated on the nerves of caucus members who’d been working in the trenches all along, taking the slings and arrows of the Campbell policies.

Born in 1965, Clark is only the second woman to serve as provincial premier behind Socred MLA Rita Johnson, who served for a short spell in 1991. Political

aspirations flow in her veins. Her father Jim Clark twice sought political office but failed.

With the Saturday night lovein now a memory, Clark and her team have to put differences aside and get on with the job of running the province. There’s enough urgent work to be done without bickering in the hallways and like it or not they will all be taking their cues from her.

She may be their apparent boss but their real boss is the B.C. tax payer. If they want the party to get re-elected, they had better knuckle down and earn their keep.

Start with the economy, the need for a balanced budget, the need to address unemployment, the HST referendum, health care costs, education. Clark will want to call an early election and ride on her popularity. History dic-

tates it doesn’t last long. And she promises to do that through a more transparent, open government.

Where have you heard that before?

“I want you to be my partners in change in Victoria,” she said in her victory speech. “I want you to be my partners in bringing open government. You can count on me to listen, you can count on me to engage and you can count on me to make sure government really does include you. I have specific ideas on how to do these things but I also need to hear from you.”

I hope she means what she says. And I wish her well. Her success as a leader will translate into a more effective government and better times ahead for everyone.

Better drug awareness needed I was walking down the halls of my school when I overheard a group of girls and guys talking about what they did on the weekend. I was shocked. I was and am still shocked because of the drugs and bad influences these young people are getting into.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really amazed at how far

people my age will go just to seem â&#x20AC;&#x153;that much coolerâ&#x20AC;? or that much â&#x20AC;&#x153;more toughâ&#x20AC;? in school by doing a dangerous drug.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting enough public education on drugs and their effects or even how to stand against peer pressure either.

Legacy includes debt Re: Campbell exits, his legacy uncertain (B.C. Views, Feb. 23).

I am dismayed about such a simple, misinformed and inaccurate article. There is no mention about our debt which has risen 16 per cent to a total of $48 billion which consumes 24.3 per cent of our provincial GDP! The interest on this debt is consuming $8 million dollars a day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; down the drain for what? Adding the provincial debt to the federal at $650 billion and it paints a picture of a house of cards that is starting

and will collapse. Responsible reporting and government would have put this front and centre.

I wonder if any of you look at what is happening in the U.S. states that threw tax monies down the drain satisfying vote buying and a bloated, inefficient bureaucracy.

The time has come to address these issues and we need educated people with courage to do it. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any here or for that matter in any party right now.

Straw does not get wet like a blanket will. Or bring your pet indoors.

The Falls owes city $125,000 in taxes “The timing could not have been worse for The Falls,” Wellsby said in one affidavit. “Just as the long-term problems specific to the project were resolved and momentum was (again) starting to build, the general market malaise once again derailed us.”

He also claimed in the affidavit that delays caused by the city’s refusal to approve a sewage system for the resort, and a city-ordered moratorium on development in the Marble Hill area after ground movement was detected there led to the loss of 70 potential buyers - and a “compounding” debt load.

The moratorium was lifted, Wellsby said in the Feb. 22 petition for court protection, “but real damage was done, as a number of local builders and potential buyers were afraid to construct homes and buildings in

the Eastern Hillsides for some time thereafter.”

But Mayor Sharon Gaetz defended city staff for rejecting the sewage treatment proposal made by the resort, and she pointed out the moratorium lasted only 18 days.

“There’s still a lot of (development) energy up on the Eastern Hillsides,” she said Monday, and the proposed sewage system had failed in one B.C. community and became “an operational nightmare” in another.

She said The Falls owes the city $125,000 in taxes.

Wellsby told the court in one affidavit that the “groundwork” has been laid to complete the project, and “if Blackburn can be successfully restructured, the project in my opinion (is) primed for a successful build-out, over time.”

Robert Freeman The Progress Taxpayers from Abbotsford to Boston Bar will save $450,000 this year thanks to “corporate re-structuring” at the Fraser Valley Regional District.

But some FVRD directors in the electoral areas outside municipalities fear rural residents may lose some of their democratic representation as some committees are cut to “streamline” operations.

Dennis Adamson, Yale electoral area director, said the changes were made “under the illusion that we’re going to save money ... what we’ve done (instead) is eliminated a lot of discussion on lots of issues.”

“I fear my people are not going to get represented to their full

extent,” he said, at last week’s board meeting.

The $450,000 in savings stem, in part, from a “limited” hiring freeze that started in 2010, and which saw a number of staff positions eliminated by attrition rather than lay-offs.

But a number of committees were also cut as the FVRD “recast” its operations into two divisions, Regional and Corporate Ser vices and Community and Regulatory Services.

The former Electoral Ar ea Ser vices Committee, where rural issues were discussed by all the electoral area directors before going to the full board, has been rolled into the CRSC, which will now deal with all “community” issues.

The RCSC replaces the former executive committee, and the

committees for parks and the environment as well. But only three electoral area directors and six mayors will sit on the committee.

Director Wendy Bales, whose electoral area includes Lake Errock and the Hemlock Valley, said after the board meeting that rural areas have only one representative, unlike municipalities that have several directors at the FVRD board.

“I wouldn’t expect that the mayors of cities of the FVRD would have the time to be informed about all the issues in my electoral area,” she said, and be able to give those issues full voice on the new RCSC. She agreed electoral area directors can speak at the RCSC - but they still won’t have a vote there.

“I still plan to attend the new committee, but (I) feel that it is at more of a disadvantage to the ratepayers that I represent,” she said.

Director David Lamson voted with Bales and Adamson, but he felt any issues of concern to electoral areas could still be dealt with at the CRSC, and there will be electoral area directors sitting on the new RCSC. “I think (the restructuring) is a good thing, and I support it,” he said.

If all seven electoral

area directors sat on the RCSC, they could conceivably out-vote the six mayors, who represent 95 per cent of the FVRD population.

The re-structuring also means a $523,939 increase in the total taxes collected from the seven electoral areas, rising to $4.1 million in 2011 from $3.6 million in 2010.

Chilliwack residents will see the FVRD portion of their municipal taxes drop by $363,972 (20 per cent) to $1.4 million in 2011 from $1.8 million in 2010.

The FVRD tax requisition for the “average assessed house” in Chilliwack will be $35.21 in 2011 compared to $43.99 in 2010.

Abbotsford residents will see their FVRD taxes drop by $715,736 (28 per cent) in 2011 to $1.7 million from $2.5 million in 2010. The “average assessed house” there ($347,157) will see the FVRD portion of their tax bill drop to $29.04 from $40.76 in 2010 a 28.7 per cent reduction.

Although Abbotsford is considering pulling out of the regional government, residents there pay less than Chilliwack residents - because they don’t receive the same number of services, such as regional parks. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Bartel 604.702.5575 • kbartel@theprogress.com

A mission to bring smiles overseas Boaz Joseph Black Press Last fall, a group of 26 westerners, exhausted by a cross-Pacific flight and a five-hour bus ride through the hazy agricultural patchwork of north-central China, were greeted by hundreds of well-wishers in the “small city” of Linyi, home to 10 million people.

Following an indoor ceremony of banners, colours and speeches, the visitors got down to business – work that would involve 102 operations over 10 days for 76 young patients who needed facial reconstructive surgery.

A cleft lip or palate isn’t a life-threatening condition. In B.C., babies born with the split in the lip or an opening in the roof of the mouth – about 200 a year – are operated on quickly and safely. It’s not a major medical concern.

But in developing countries, with few affordable options to repair the birth defects, children can grow up with dental or speech problems, difficulty eating, social stigmas and possible rejection by their community.

That’s where Operation Rainbow Canada (ORC) comes in.

The group of doctors, nurses and support staff volunteer to provide free reconstructive plastic surgery for cleft lip and palate deformities to children in need.

Led by plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Kimit Rai since the non-profit society’s formation in 1998, ORC has performed surgeries on more than 1,800 children in 28 missions in countries such as Cambodia, India, Mexico, the Philippines and Lebanon.

Each mission involves the coordination of surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, nurses (pre-op, OR and recovery) and support staff, along with the shipping surgical equipment, lights, anesthesia machines and drugs, antibiotics and other supplies.

Most recently, the mission coordinator was Surrey nurse Rema Nair.

Last year’s China mission came with its own set of unique challenges.

Hundreds of patients showed up at the hospital, which kept society chairperson John Buis busy taking photos of the babies and children to keep track of the faces during in-take and post-op.

Translation, name and pronunciation difficulties made it necessary to use numbers.

Baby #22, for instance, had a bilateral cleft lip as well as a cleft palate that will require more surgery in the future.

Quick to smile before the surgery, the youngster woke up from the two-hour surgery looking confused but with only a couple of small scars on his upper lip.

Some patients required more than one surgery over the course of the 10 days.

The mission was so successful, says Rai, that the Chinese hospital asked ORC to return to teach local doctors and nurses how to do their own surgeries.

Buis, a handlebar-mustacheoed 34-year member of the RCMP – who coincidentally was promoted to Staff-Sergeant/ Major while airborne on the way to China – became involved with ORC through his own need for reconstructive surgery.

Buis was shot in both thighs while on duty in Burnaby in 1979 and required seven surgeries over the next decade – all performed by Rai, who worked at Royal

Columbian Hospital.

The two got to know each other well over the years.

Buis’ experience with two United Nations missions in Bosnia and East Timor would help ORC deal with bureaucracy and logistics in two of its latest missions.

Rai, a Malaysian Army surgeon in the 1960s, turned to reconstructive surgery after meeting a Canadian doctor and getting a fellowship in the specialty in a Canadian hospital.

In the early ‘90s, Rai travelled with a fellow surgeon on an American mission to the Philippines.

“We did some surgeries on cleft lip and palate patients and I felt really charged up,” he says in his Vancouver office. “I felt really good at fixing children.”

A year later, he convinced four Canadian nurses to tag along with the same American group.

Over time, he realized he could push the Canadian medical community to better represent itself.

Several years and many discussions later, ORC was founded – supported by fundraising and volunteers.

So far, two 10-day missions have taken place each year, but that may soon be reduced to just one due to a combination of the stressful nature of the missions and a

lack of money.

Each trip costs about $28,000 in supplies alone, and up to $70,000 including plane

tickets, food and accommodations (if the latter two are not provided by the host country, which is sometimes the case).

Where does the money come from?

Often, ORC supplies are left in the hospital for locals to use once the team departs.

In one case, surgical drapes were left as sheets on the bare-wire post-op beds in a primitive Cambodian hospital.

Just one mission, in Indonesia in 2009, would be described as unsuccessful.

“Everything was organized and we were ready to operate, but somehow the local anesthesiologists couldn’t get along,” explains Rai. “There was friction between our doctors and their doctors.”

After not being able to get permission to be responsible for the patients, the

ORC group took the next flight out.

“Out of 28 missions, I don’t think one failure is too bad,” says Rai. In general, the Canadian volunteers have been welcomeD with open arms – followed by post-surgery smiles.

“When we go to the countries, we teach (medical staff) pediatrics, we teach them nursing, we teach them how to operate, we teach them post-operative recovery. We also take our own residents who are training in plastic surgery from Canada to learn, so there’s an education component to that.”

Gratitude for ORC vol-

unteers has been shown in many different ways: A lot of toasting took place in China.

In Mexico, they received wrapped gifts. In India, they were hugged often. In the Philippines, they got baskets of fruits and vegetables. And in Lebanon came pistachios.

“They’re very pleased to see you because you’re treating their children,” says Rai. “They were tickled pink to have us there,” volunteer videographer Gary Hanney said of the China mission.

In March, Operation Rainbow returns for a second time to the Himalayas.

Community Church looks at other faiths Katie Bartel The Progress Mount Shannon United Church doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stick its head in the sand when it comes to other religions.

For one month Mount Shannon is hosting conversations between the Sikh, Buddhist, BahĂĄâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;i and Islamic communities. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the beginning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our world today, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much division, and religion is part of that,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle Creedy, a practicum student at Mount Shannon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could all just understand one another, I feel we could break down the barriers of prejudice and those barriers of Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m better than you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of power and vulnerability in religion and I think education is key, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important,â&#x20AC;? said Creedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise all those walls are just going to keep on keep on because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand each other. We think we do, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Last Monday, Mount Shannon hosted its first session with the Sikh community. Three representatives described their religion, talked about their holy book, shared their traditions and styles of worship. Those same representatives also asked those in

attendance about the Christian faith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was extremely powerful,â&#x20AC;? said Creedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of realized that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all aiming for the same thing.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all wanting to lead good lives and love our neighbour, and be fulfilled by a higher power of some kind.â&#x20AC;?

Yet, when organizing the conversations Creedy did experience some backlash from others in the Christian community; people not understanding why Mount Shannon would want to offer such a thing. She figured a lot of that came out of fear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about converting people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about learning about other faiths in our community,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Chilliwack has a wealth of different faiths and beliefs, including Buddhism, Islam, BahĂĄâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;i, Catholicism, Judaism, Jehovahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Witnesses, Sikh, First Nations, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are hungry for this knowledge,â&#x20AC;? said Creedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing us that there are so many different ways of being faithful. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening our eyes to the rest of the world.â&#x20AC;?

The last two sessions are on Monday, March 7 with the BahĂĄâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;i faith and Monday, March 14 with the Islamic faith. Both sessions are at 7 p.m. at Mount Shannon United Church on Yale Road.

Cold weather can mean a hot time for thieves, police say Chilliwack RCMP are warning drivers not to leave their vehicles running during the cold weather while they dash into a store or leave their vehicles unattended while warming up for work.

A couple of auto thefts have been reported recently, mainly in the

downtown area, RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said.

“Motorists should either shut off their vehicle or remain inside when warming it up in the morning,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.

“It only takes a second for the opportun-

Bruins stay alive with shootout win Eric J. Welsh The Progress The road to the playoffs still looks daunting and the Chilliwack Bruins have a long way to go, but a pair of weekend wins is a good way to start saving their season.

After splitting a home-andhome Friday and Saturday with the Vancouver Giants, the good guys earned a hard-fought 4-3 shootout decision over the Prince George Cougars on Sunday night.

It wasn’t easy, requiring rallies from two down in the first and one down in the third.

It wasn’t ideal, with the Cougars escaping Prospera Centre with a valuable point.

But a win is a win.

“It’s tough when you’re coming from behind, but we’re finding a way to come back,” said Chilliwack captain Brandon Manning.

“You’re starting to see our character, and to see the guys battle through this one was great.”

Three times this weekend, Chilliwack fell behind 2-0 in the first period. On Friday night the good guys had to erase a pair of two goal deficits (2-0 and 4-2) to beat the Giants 6-4. On Saturday the Bruins fell behind 2-0 and ended up on the short end of a 5-1 final.

On Sunday, the trend continued.

PG’s Brett Connolly was a one-man show in period one.

The Tampa Bay Lightning first round draft pick opened the scoring at 3:39, sniping his 39th of the year on the

first shot of the game.

Working one on one against Manning on a rush down the left wing, Connolly snapped an NHL-calibre shot that caught the top right corner over Gore’s glove. The Prince George native struck again at 18:30, side-stepping Kevin Sundher at the point, walking down main street and firing a low shot through a crowd for his 40th.

“He’s finally back to full health and you can see it out there,” Manning said.

“When he’s playing like he did tonight he dominates the game, and a couple times he just took over.”

Reeling against the ropes, the Bruins got a gift when PG blueliner Sena Acolatse took a two minute hooking minor at 18:55. On the power play, Roman Horak fed a cross-crease pass to Robin Soudek, who chipped a backhander past Cougar keeper Ty Rimmer for his 19th of the year.

Chilliwack drew even 3:25 into the middle frame on another goal by Soudek.

Horak won a faceoff in the PG zone and Soudek fired a shot from the right-wing boards that evaded Rimmer through a screen. But the 19-year-old Czech had less than three minutes to enjoy the game-tying goal before the Cougars regained the lead on a goal by Tayler Thompson.

Gore came up with a massive save late in the period as Connolly stormed in on a shorthanded breakaway.

The 18-year-old tried a gloveside wrister, but Chilliwack’s keeper flashed the leather to keep the puck out and keep his team within one.

The goalie was yanked after giving up three goals on 10 shots Saturday night, and Manning was happy to see Gore bounce back with a good game.

“You look at the first two PG goals and it would have been easy for him to get down,” Manning commented. “But he picked us up and together we came back for another character win.”

The Bruin comeback bid was slowed by third period penalties, with two Tyler Stahl minors (kneeing and interference) chewing up four minutes.

The good guys struggled to create chances at evenstrength, but they only needed one to tie, and got

it at 10:31. Sundher earned a big assist with a just-putit-on-net shot from the very high slot that led to some chaos in the crease. Rimmer made a stop on Jamie Crooks, but couldn’t thwart Brandon Magee, who potted the rebound for his 12th of the year.

“I don’t think Marc (head coach Habscheid) has ever jumped so high,” Manning laughed. “The guys were pretty excited with a lots of high fives.”

The Bruins had to come up with a couple of late penalty kills to get to overtime.

Five extra minutes solved nothing, landing the teams in a shootout.

In the middle of a successful Alberta road trip, the Bruins dropped in to the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge Dec. 10 and skated off with a 4-3 win.

Ryan Howse got Chilliwack off to a good start with a pair of goals. The Hurricanes tied the game on goals by Cam Braes and Austin Fyten, but the Bruins regained the lead on goals by Robin Soudek and Jamie Crooks, going three for seven on the power play.

Howse traded misses with PG’s Acolatse and Connolly setting the stage for some Soudek heroics. The Czech came in with speed and wired a glove-side wrister past Rimmer. Gore provided one final save, kicking out his right leg to stop Charles Inglis.

The Bruins return to action Wednesday night, hosting the Lethbridge Hurricanes at 7 p.m.

“We’re coming together as a team in a way we haven’t really had so far this year,” Manning said. “We’ve been up and down, up and down.

But we got a couple wins this weekend and hopefully we keep it going against Lethbridge.”

OMMUNITY SPORTS REVIEW

New kid on the block

Dan Kinvig, Black Press The Fraser Valley soccer scene is expanding yet again, with news that Abbotsford’s Magnuson Ford FC has been awarded a franchise in the new B.C. Soccer Premier League.

Formerly known as the Abbotsford Soccer Association, MFFC is one of eight founding franchises in the Premier League, which replaces metro (girls) and selects (boys) as the top tier of youth soccer in the province.

“It’s a big sigh of relief that we were successful,” Magnuson Ford FC president Brad Nicholl said. “We’re on Cloud 9 right now, but we’ve got to move forward. We can’t sit back at all.”

The Premier League, known informally as the High Performance League (HPL) during the development stages, features six regional teams in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, one on Vancouver Island and one in the Interior.

Each franchise fields boys and girls teams from U-13 to U-18.

In addition to Abbotsford, the other franchises are Burnaby/North Shore; Coquitlam Metro Ford; Surrey United; South Fraser Soccer Club; Vancouver/Richmond; Lower Island/Upper Island Associations (Vancouver Island); and Thompson Okanagan FC. What does it mean to Chilliwack?

“It gives the players within our club, whose ambition is to play at the highest level they can, the opportunity to to try out for PL teams and play at that level,” said Chilliwack FC head

coach Glenn Wilson.

“Some people ask how it will affect our club.

I don’t see it affecting much more than say one per cent of all our players, so it won’t have a major impact on our club as a whole. More players from CFC playing at that level gives our club more credibility because it says we are developing players to a high standard.”

MFFC needed support from CFC and the Aldergrove soccer association to move ahead with their bid— they needed to show B.C. Soccer that the regional associations were on board.

CFC was quick to give the green light, giving a verbal go-ahead to MFFC. “Chilliwack would have loved to bid on a franchise, but geographically we’re just a little too far out from places like Langley and Aldergrove,” he said. “It would be difficult to convince players to come out here to train and play when we’re so far away. Geographically, Abbotsford is right in the middle of it all and they’ve got the infrastructure.”

The major innovation with the Premier League is that players are allowed to move outside of district boundaries to play on the elite circuit.

By limiting the number of franchises to eight, B.C.’s top soccer talent is more concentrated.

Nicholl felt Magnuson Ford FC’s bid was wellreceived in light of the association’s history as a soccer trailblazer.

Abbotsford was the first club in B.C. to hire a full-time paid head coach (current Vancouver Whitecaps assistant coach Colin Miller and now ex-CFC head coach Ian Knight), and was the first to host a USL Super Y-League youth program.

The local association’s bid got a boost late in the game when Langley FC, an all-girls association, signed on as an official partner.

The girls’ side of the Magnuson Ford Premier League franchise will be hosted by Langley.

“Our bid had to go in on Jan. 31, which was a Monday, and they came on board on Jan. 29 at 4:30 in the afternoon,” said Nicholl, adding that the Langley club had initially been leaning towards aligning itself with Surrey United.

MFFC will run one final season of Super Y-League youth soccer this summer, and the PL will play an exhibition schedule this fall. The new circuit will be fully on-stream in 2012, with a March-to-November season.

Wilson expects little to no impact on the spring soccer side, with CFC running a less formal, recreational format from April to June.

CFC’s new summer tournament program might be affected if players opt to go the PL route.

CFC’s Pacific Coast Soccer League squads could feel the biggest pinch, with a season that runs almost lockstep with the PL schedule.

Chilliwack fields teams in the U-21 men’s and women’s divisions, and could concievably lose to talent to the new league.

“As far as numbers, it will affect all the PCSL teams to some degree,” Wilson acknowledged.

“How big an affect, I don’t really know. From our point of view, I don’t think it will be huge, but in other areas it will. It will make it interesting for next year.”

CFC will look to continue fielding teams in the metro league, with Wilson hoping to enter four teams at that level this fall.

“The top third of the metro league has now moved up to the PL, so the standard may not be what it’s been in the past, but it’s still a high calibre of soccer,” he said. “Our goal is for players who don’t go to HL, we can still develop them to their potential. We can offer them opportunities to train and play at a high level, travel and enjoy their youth soccer lives.”

CFC’s spring soccer league starts soon. Get more information at the CFC website, found online at www.chilliwackfc.com.

UC hoops teams forging ahead For the first time in school history, both Unity Christian senior basketball teams have qualified for provincials at the same time.

The UC girls upset Southridge in the Fraser Valley semi-finals, winning 80-55. They finished second in the Valley, losing 99-45 to Abbotsford Christian in the final.

Janelle Taekema and Mandy

VanMuyen were voted tournament all-stars, and Unity’s girls now head to Fernie for provincials on Mar. 8.

It will be the team’s fourth trip to provincials in the last 10 years.

On the boy’s side, UC has qualified for provincials for the second year in a row and third time in school history. After losing a 62-60 semi-final heart-

breaker to Regent last week, the boys had to face St. John Brebouf in a win-and-you’re-in game on Saturday. UC jumped out to a 48-10 lead and cruised to a 58-23 win. Third year starter Michael Haan was named to tournament all-star team.

The UC boys head to provincials as the 10th seed, opening against Glenlyon Norfolk on Mar. 9.

Underdogs impress in Richmond The Fraser Valley Volleyball Club U-14 boys travelled to Richmond Feb. 19-20 to take on the big boys at the Air Attack Invitational tournament at McRoberts secondary school.

As the only underage team in the U-15/U-16 tournament, the Fraser Valley team took to the court as the underdog in every match they played.

Despite playing on a net higher than they were used to and facing athletes taller, faster and stronger, this group of resilient young men finished a very respectable seventh out of 12 teams.

FVVC finished with a 2-4 record and only one straightsets loss in the entire tournament. With more than half the team competing in basketball playoffs on Saturday morning, coach Duncan Harrison asked

two 12 year olds from the U-13 FVVC boys team to play up for a couple of matches.

“Both Kaden Gamache (Abbotsford) and Linden Bontkes (Langley) did a great job for our team,” he said. “It’s a big step to be 12 years old and be competing against 14 and 15 year old boys. I was really impressed with their compete level.”

The boys lost both pool games, first to the host Air Attack U-16’s (25-22, 12-25, 11-15) and then to Coquitlam’s Focus U-16’s (23-25, 21-25).

In the first round of the playoffs the Valley team found themselves head to head with the FVVC U-15’s. In a very tight match the younger team prevailed in three sets by scores of 25-23, 11-25, 16-14. The boys moved on to the quarter-finals

and a three set loss (24-26, 25-16, 8-15) to the U-15 Surrey Eagles.

Relegated to the consolation bracket, FVVC played two close matches on Sunday, losing to the Air Attack (25-21, 22-25, 5-15) and beating North Vancouver’s BCO (25-23, 24-26, 15-12).

Team captain Jordan Loewen (Abbotsford) led the offense with 19 kills while Steven Hsu (Langley) had 14 kills and Keaton Boughen (Abbotsford) added 10.

Hsu led the defense with 30 digs while Chilliwack’s Curtis Schopf (G.W. Graham) had 12 digs and four stuff blocks.

Abbotsford’s Jordy Koslowsky had 12 digs and Surrey Christian’s Josiah Mooy had a balanced weekend with six kills, six service aces, 10 digs and five stuff blocks.

Despite having to modify their routine to fit a space onefourth the size of what they normally perform and practice on, the seniors wowed the crowd and had an excellent performance.

All PAC teams now look forward to a trip to Vancouver Mar. 5 for the Golden Ticket Championships.

In memory of our son & brother

Michael John McRae

November 21, 1978 - February 25, 2010 Where has the year gone?

It has slipped away; Such a beautiful soul, Michael; your smile lit up a room, The sound of your laughter was infectious.

When we close our eyes, we see you with a ball glove over your mouth and nose.

You loved the smell of the leather of your glove.

We remember the red socks you used to wear on the ball diamond; We remember the twinkle in your left eye; We remember how you could never tell us a fib And get away with it because your face gave you away; We remember how in awe you were of your daughter When she was born and we knew you understood The love of a parent for his child.

Our lives are better for having you in it and they changed forever that awful night But when our days are difficult we remember Your beautiful smile and if we listen hard We'll hear your voice for awhile.

God has you in his keeping Michael.

We have you in our hearts.

Life will go on but will never be the same.

With love Your family.

HODGINS Harvey

Our father, Harvey Hodgins, died February 26, 2011 in Chilliwack, BC with his family at his side.

A gentle warrior, his 90 eventful years included great childhood tragedy, the depression, a harrowing stint in the RCAF during WWII, a brilliant if brief career as a hockey player (he was a skilled and crafty winger), 60 years of marriage to the love of his life, and serving as a role-model for four children and four grandchildren in his work ethic and personal philosophy.

If you would like to honour Harvey’s memory, the family suggests a contribution to the Legion Foundation at www. legionbcyukon.org Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday, March 4th 2011 at 1:00 p.m. from the Chapel at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, BC.

Feb. 12, 1953 - Feb. 25, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Wayne JOHNSON on Friday, February 25, 2011 at Cascade Hospice. He celebrated his 58th birthday there. Wayne was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and uncle. He fought a brave battle against cancer for almost two years. He left behind his pain and found peace instead.

Wayne was born on February 12, 1953 and raised in the Okanagan Valley and has always considered that home and is where he will be laid to rest.

Wayne leaves behind his loving family who cared for him and will always treasure his memory. He will be remembered by his devoted wife of 28 years, Colleen; their children, Kelsey (27) and husband Chad Hicks, Christina (27) and partner Aaron Denauglt and son, Brett (24); also his son from his first marriage, Ben (36) and wife, Erin and two grandchildren, Rune ( 7) and Soren (1). He also leaves behind his loving mother Tillie Sundstrom, brothers, Jack (Georgia) Johnson and Ron

(Alana) Sundstrom, nephews, Caleb, Tavish and Riley Johnson and Cole Sundstrom, all of Summerland, BC. Also his mother & father in law, Claire and Keith Brown, of Chilliwack; sister& brother in law, Nancy and Randall Venhola and their children, Tyrone and Lauren of Abbotsford. He is predeceased by his sister, Victoria Munn, his brother in law, Eric Munn, his stepfather, Gus Sundstrom and father Richard Johnson.

Wayne and Colleen met in Prince George but moved to Kamloops to be married in 1982. He worked for Agriculture Canada in Kamloops and transferred to the Research Station in Agassiz, settling in Chilliwack. Wayne leaves behind a legacy of helping others as he was most recently employed with MCC as a Career Consultant. Wayne always threw himself wholeheartedly in to his hobbies such as photography, golfing, biking, wine tasting/touring and traveling. Wayne was first and foremost a family manhis family meant the world to him. He was proud of his children’s accomplishments and reveled in their happiness.

He loved them fully, knowing what a beautiful gift they were to us. He enjoyed every precious minute he had with his children and passed with his loving family at his side.

We would like to thank the kind and compassionate staff at the Abbotsford Cancer Centre and the Cascade Hospice, Home Care nurse Amanda and the Chilliwack Palliative Care Team. A special thanks to Dr. Cameron Ross and his staff for their wonderful and compassionate care of the whole family during Wayne’s illness.

ROWAND Graeme

Graeme R o w a n d passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Thursday Feb- ROWAND ruary 24, 2011 after a long courageous battle with cancer.

He will be sadly missed by his wife of 43 years Anne, son Derek (Terri), daughter Teresa (Al) and brother Garry (Marlene). He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren Nicole, Ashley, Allan, Curtis and Mathew; Niece and Nephews, Shaina, Cody, Brian and Kevin.

Graeme was sadly predeceased by his father Gordon Rowand; mother, Helen Wolfe; sister Deidre Hill and brother, Glen Rowand.

Graeme was born in Vancouver on April 2, 1946 and lived his childhood years in Williams Lake until he joined the Army. He was stationed in Wainwright, Alberta. While he was in the Army, he met the love of his life, Anne. They were married in 1968 and moved to Chilliwack to start their life together. Graeme began a new job as an Instrument man for the Public Works Department for the City of Chilliwack. Graeme later became a Forman for City of Chilliwack and held that position until his retirement in 2006.

Graeme was an avid sports fan. In his early years he enjoyed curling and playing baseball, back catcher was his favorite position. When his son joined hockey, Graeme jumped right into coaching and enjoyed teaching kids the game. Graeme enjoyed traveling and had a lot of special memories with his family, traveling to California and Hawaii several times. He also loved casinos and enjoyed many trips to Reno and Vegas with his wife and family.

He was also a big race fan, Nascar, drag racing, it didn’t matter as long as speed was involved. He developed his race passion in 1969 when he purchased his cherished 1969 GTO Judge.

Some people may not know this, but Graeme was also a great cook. He enjoyed making homemade pizza and always made his famous Turkey stuffing at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter right up until this past Christmas.

Those were the three times out of the year that the kitchen was his.

Graeme has left us with many memories, family traditions and so much love. His children and grandchildren were his proudest accom-

plishments in his life. He will always be remembered as a hard worker, honest, loving, caring and very proud man who made everyone around him feel welcome and comfortable.

The family would like to welcome all friends and family to a celebration of life and reception on Saturday, March 5th at 1:30 pm at the Woodlawn Mt Cheam Funeral Home 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack.

The family would also like to thank everyone for their kind words and support through this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers people may donate to the SPCA or a charity of their choice.

WOODWARD Peter C.

Oct. 10, 1917- Feb. 25, 2011 Peter died peacefully at Chilliwack General Hospital with his wife, Pat, at his side. He is sur- WOODWARD vived by Pat, daughters Paige, Dorrance and Jane (Ted Hancock) and son Peter (Suzanne Tokarek), as well as grandchildren Zöe and Aaron Nagler, Devon and Ellen Hancock and Mark and Patrick Woodward. He was predeceased by his brother, Geoff Woodward, and his sister, Shirley Woodward Grauer Owen. A family celebration of his very full life will be held this summer.

Peter was born in Winnipeg, but his family moved to Vancouver in 1922 when his father, a grain trader, built one of the first elevators on the west coast of Canada. Peter dropped out of UBC to become a newspaper reporter.

In World War Two, he worked in US Army intelligence, analyzing aerial photographs of German POW camps and deciphering coded mail from Allied prisoners.

At the end of the war, he returned to Vancouver and went to work at the B.C. Electric Co., the province’s privately held electric utility. There he met Patricia Dorrance, and they married on Aug. 16, 1947, Pat’s 21st birthday. They immediately moved to Manhattan because Pat had won a job as a junior editor at Vogue magazine. Peter became an editor at McGraw-Hill.

In 1949, he returned to work at the B.C. Electric, and eventually rose to become head of public relations for the firm. With his family reestablished in Vancouver, Peter enjoyed his work and was devoted to his brother-in-law, Dal Grauer, who was probably the most brilliant business leader in the province at the time.

In 1961, Dal died of leukemia and on the day of his funeral the W.A.C. Bennett government took over the B.C. Electric, turning it into B.C. Hydro, a Crown corporation.

Having had a hand in the fight against the takeover, Peter resigned from the company.

He moved his family to Chilliwack in 1963, where he became managing partner of Cheam Marl Products, which

operated a surface mine for marl (agricultural lime) at Popkum. A few years later, he placed the company in the capable hands of his administrative assistant, Jo Murray, and became general manager of the B.C. Safety Council.

(Eventually the mine site became Cheam Wetlands Park.)

In the mid-1970s, Peter retired and with Pat homesteaded a property on Chilliwack Mountain, which she called Hillkeep. Although he insisted that he was “a city sparrow,” Peter learned to drive tractors and maintain water pumps and electric generators, because Hillkeep was for decades “off the grid.” A competent carpenter in his day, he could be coaxed from time to time into making Japanese-style lanterns and other handy objects. At all times he was a lover of dogs, greatly enjoying the company of several generations of Labrador Retrievers.

Peter loved reading history and could talk politics to all comers. He was a natural conservative in most matters, while all the women in the family were progressive. For years there were very few dull moments, but as he aged he mellowed, listening to classical music and rereading his compendious collection of books.

Through difficult and happy times, Peter always loved Pat, his children and grandchildren, and he will always be remembered and loved by them.
