RCMP look for possible victims of Facebook sex attacks Robert Freeman The Progress Teenagers who have gone to parties advertised on Facebook, similar to one where a 15-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by an older man, are being asked to come forward and talk to police. Parents are also being asked by the police to monitor their kids’ activities on social networking sites, and to ask them if they have been to parties like the one where the assault was alleged. “At this point, the RCMP are trying to determine if there have been more parties like this or if this was an isolated incident,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. In an earlier news release, the Chilliwack RCMP reported that a “disturbing trend” appeared to be occurring in the Fraser Valley, of older men advertising parties on Facebook, and then supplying young party-goers with liquor to lower their resistance to sexual attacks. But Const. Tracy Wolbeck later clarified that the “disturbing trend” referred to reports last year of “LG parties” or little girl parties hosted by older males who used alcohol or drugs to lure underage girls into sex acts. So far, only one girl has alleged she was sexually attacked at a Feb. 22 party, which had been advertised on Facebook by a 32-year-old man. The accused male has not been charged, and was released on a promise to appear later in court. But Hollingsworth said a news release that “police have reason to

Getting the number on homelessness Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Volunteers with the 2011 Homeless Count head out into the streets early Wednesday morning, armed with clipboards, snacks, drinks, and friendly smiles. They sport bright yellow buttons that read ‘Homeless Count’ in big block letters. It’s about 11:30 a.m. on count day and folks are starting to line up for lunch. Soft-spoken street worker Mishia Bakstad explains she has already filled out a questionnaire, as she waits for a hot lunch to

be served up at the local soup kitchen attached to the Chilliwack Salvation Army Care and Share Centre. Bakstad was happy to answer questions with a count volunteer after arriving at the emergency shelter run by Chilliwack Salvation Army the night before. “I think the count is great. There’s so many of us,” she says about the local street population. “Often they’re full up at the shelter. They had to put up a cot for me.” Articulate and friendly, the young woman agrees to share part of her story of trying to survive on

the streets of Chilliwack for the past year. “I was attacked twice in the past month,” she says. “Finally, I came here and had a safe night’s sleep at the shelter.” She doesn’t sugar-coat things. “It’s hard,” she admits. “People give you dirty looks when you’re on the street, but they don’t know what you’ve been through. “Other times it’s like we don’t even exist. But we’re people, too. It’s not like we chose to be here.” Fed up with working the streets to pay for her drug habit, Bakstad is now desperately trying to get into a detox facility so she can get

clean and get off the streets. “I’m phoning three times a day to see if I can get in,” she says. If she can stay clean, there’s a camp job waiting for her up in the Yukon. Most of local homeless advocates have said they expect to find more people living on the streets with this year’s count. About 30 volunteers with the 2011 Homeless Count spread out across Chilliwack this week, but the results won’t be announced until all the numbers are in. “Alarmingly” there are more Continued: COUNT/ p7

‘Dynasty’ charge denied by Mark Strahl Robert Freeman The Progress A drastically reduced nomination period for candidates to replace Conservative MP Chuck Strahl in the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding – and his son’s announced bid for the job – has brought charges of “dynasty-making” from opposition New Democrats. But Ernie Charlton, a long-time Conservative Party member who announced his bid for the nomination Wednesday, said while the one-week nomination period is “not ideal,” he had “no reason” to believe Mark Strahl had advance knowledge of his father’s intention not to seek re-election.

“I’ve known (the Strahl family) for 15 years, and to my knowledge Mark had the exact same nomination period that I have,” he said on Thursday. In an email to The Progress, Mark Strahl said his father informed the family and staff members on March 11 that, on the following day, the Prime Minister would announce his decision not to seek re-election. After the March 12 announcement was made, Strahl said he resigned as president and as a director on the party’s Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding association to seek the nomination. “Just to be clear, I have no access to membership lists, email lists, or the party database,” he said, and

would not have access until his candidacy is approved by Conservative headquarters. “Every potential candidate is playing by the exact same rules,” he said. But in an earlier interview, Menno Froese, who sits on the Conservative Party’s national council, said he would be “quite surprised” if Strahl did not have advance knowledge of his father’s decision, not only because of the family connection, but also because of his connections to the regional party. “He’s very well connected,” Froese said. Candidates for the nomination have until 5 p.m. Friday to file documents, which includes a list of sig-

natures of 25 valid party members. The vote takes place on Monday, but no time or location has been decided. The “normal” nomination period is six to eight weeks. Party members must have memberships older than 21 days to vote on Monday. Froese said party officials changed the nomination rules in Strahl’s riding, and two others in B.C. where Conservative MPs had announced they would not seek re-election, in order to have “credible candidates” in place for a possible election call after the March 22 federal budget. He said opposition parties were not likely to approve the budget, and the minority government would fall. Burnaby New Democratic MP

Peter Julian agreed a budget fight is in the offing, but he blamed the Tories, who “clearly” want an election. And in the party’s rush to get on election footing in the three B.C. ridings where they no longer have a candidate, he charged that party members are not going to get their democratic right to a “vigorous” nomination campaign. Especially in the ChilliwackFraser Canyon riding, he said, where Mark Strahl “obviously had the inside track” on his father’s decision not to seek re-election. “It’s a sad day for democracy,” he said. “You shouldn’t be able to hand over your riding. It’s not a dynasty.” rfreeman@theprogress.com

Resident decries municipal tax increase Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Council kept its 2011 tax increase to the lowest level it possibly could without cutting key services. That was the message from city hall after councillors voted in favour of the 2011 financial plan bylaw, which includes a 3.45 per cent tax hike. Resident Gary Raddysh beseeched council to instead consider a zero per cent

increase. “I believe that all Canadians are taxed enough already, and there could be plenty of tax money available to improve our growing communities,” he said. He spoke up during the public information hearing held to allow residents to offer opinions on the budget. Although he acknowledged that the discussion was strictly about municipal taxes, and not about federal and provin-

cial spending, he nonetheless underlined the importance other levels of government have when it comes to “influencing the funding of our municipal programs.” He called for an end to carbon tax, HST and Canada’s participation in the war in Afghanistan. “Prices for home heating, vehicle fuel, electricity, food, insurance, and loan interest rates are creeping continuously higher,” Raddysh stated.

“Our economy is in a fragile recovery phase. Taxpayers cannot afford any increase in taxes.” In the end council voted unanimously to approve the 2011 budget. Coun. Ken Huttema called it “a prudent use of our resources.” The state of Chilliwack’s roads and the transit system are areas they’ll continue to work on, he said. Continued: TAX/ p6

Long-time Conservative party member Ernie Charlton has decided to run for nomination as the party’s candidate in the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon in the next federal election - which could be called as early as next week. Charlton, 42, said the oneweek nomination period is “not ideal” and may reduce the number of potential candidates, but he refused to describe the process as “unfair.” “It is a challenge,” he said, but he agreed with the party’s need to get candidates in place for a possible election call after the March 22 federal budget is tabled. Last Saturday, after 17 years as the riding’s MP, Chuck Strahl Ernie Charlton announced his decision not to seek re-election. Candidates to replace him must file nomination papers before 5 p.m. Friday. Charlton said it may be difficult to put together the required list of 25 supporters with valid memberships before the deadline. Some members might have let their memberships lapse, he said. But Matthew Barker, chair of the local party’s nomination committee, said most members in the riding are “active,” and he doesn’t expect more than a dozen have let their memberships lapse. At press time Thursday, no place or time had been announced for the Monday nomination vote. Charlton, a pilot for a B.C. manufacturing company, has worked as a volunteer on many of Strahl’s successful re-election campaigns, and he served a term as a director of the party’s riding association. He has also been active as a volunteer and accepted a leadership role in “a wide variety” of community and non-profit organizations. He was also a member of the City of Chilliwack’s public safety advisory committee. He has lived in Rosedale for the past 16 years with his wife Tamiko and their four children. rfreeman@theprogress.com

No risk in B.C. from Japanese radiation: Officials Jeff Nagel Black Press Public health officials are trying to calm fears that B.C. residents may become contaminated by radiation carried here from the nuclear disaster underway in Japan. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) said Wednesday no abnormal radiation levels have so far been detected by an international network of monitoring sites put in place along the entire West Coast in the wake of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident. “We do not expect any health risk following the nuclear reactor releases in Japan,” said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall. That hasn’t stopped some people from snapping up supplies of potassium iodide tablets, which can be used to neutralize the harmful effects of radioactive iodine, including thyroid cancer. BCCDC officials said the potassium iodide tablets would only help people exposed to higher levels of radiation within 30 kilometres of the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, where explosions or coolant failures at multiple reactors threaten to cause a meltdown. Kendall urged pharmacies not to dispense or stockpile the pills after an apparent run on them by spooked shoppers. Even if there is a major release of radiation into the atmosphere from northeast Japan, Kendall said the particles would be so widely dispersed on their five- to six-day jet stream trip to North America that it’s unlikely they could pose a health risk.

“All the scenarios say that for us, because of the distance we are away, no they would not be posing a significant health risk to British Columbians.” He cautioned against comparing Chernobyl, where the reactor fuel burned and sent large amounts of long-lasting radiation across Europe, to the Japanese reactors, which have containment facilities and are less likely to release large amounts of longlasting radioactive isotopes. Metro Vancouver Board Chair Lois Jackson said she wants a better picture of the potential threat in a worst-case scenario after the issue was raised at a meeting of the region’s mayors Wednesday morning. “The outcome of a disaster of this sort could be very widespread,” she said. “The cloud rises up into the jet stream and what goes up must come down. “My concern is that we are kept up to date honestly so we’re not as a nation scrambling if the worst was to happen.” Jackson wants to find out from the federal government precisely where and how many radiation monitoring stations are located in B.C. “It’s concerning to me that we don’t have that information.” Neither Metro Vancouver’s air quality monitoring network nor the provincial government have any capability to measure windborne radiation that could come across the Pacific if nuclear reactors in Japan melt down. Air quality planning manager Roger Quan said Metro monitors various types of pollutants at stations across the Lower Mainland,

but they aren’t equipped to detect radiation. Kendall said there are four federally run sites on Vancouver Island and one in the Lower Mainland that continuously sample for radiation and data can also be drawn from other international stations in the Pacific at islands like Guam. SFU nuclear chemist JeanClaude Brodovitch said he agrees with Kendall’s assessment of the risks, adding there is no sign of radiation reaching B.C. “We have our own equipment we monitor with and we haven’t seen anything,” he said. Although small amounts of radioactive iodine were detected in plants such as seaweed off the North American coast after Chernobyl, Brodovitch said that doesn’t equate to any significant human risk. “There could be transportation of some dust in the atmosphere,” he said. “But when it gets around the globe it’s extremely diluted. After 7,000 kilometres, it would not be a real concern.” Asked about the potential that radiation could enter the food chain, potentially via contaminated crops, Brodovitch said that was a possibility, but only in Japan and the local area around it. “If there’s deposition in the ocean, there would be some impact on seafood,” added Kendall, who predicted authorities will be vigilant about protecting Canadian consumers. “We’re going to see a lot of monitoring of foodstuffs in areas around the plume and in the ocean,” he said. “But that’s a longer-term concern.”

VICTORIA – Friday’s earthquake off Japan was a test for B.C.’s tsunami alert system, with beaches and coastal areas briefly evacuated and on alert for several hours. It was also the latest in a long series of devastating events on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Geological evidence indicates there have been 13 great earthquakes in the last 6,000 years. One of the biggest in world history was the Cascadia megathrust event on the B.C. coast on Jan. 26, 1700, which sent a huge tsunami with impacts that can still be seen in Japan. Japanese records confirm oral histories of First Nations people on Vancouver Island, which describe multiple landslides, prolonged shaking so violent people

couldn’t stand up, and the tsunami’s destruction of the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no survivors. More recently, there have been four earthquakes of magnitude seven or higher in the past 130 years in southwest B.C. and northern Washington State, according to Natural Resources Canada’s Earth Sciences Centre. Canada’s largest earthquake since 1700

was the magnitude 8.1 event on the Queen Charlotte Fault on Aug. 22, 1949. It damaged buildings on Haida Gwaii and in Terrace, and was felt as far away as Seattle. The boundar y between the Pacific and North American plates runs underwater along the west coast of Haida Gwaii, and is B.C.’s equivalent of the San Andreas Fault in California.

Provincial emergency officials advise B.C. residents to prepare for earthquakes and other natural disasters, with information at www.pep. bc.ca. Schools and offices participated in an earthquake exercise in January, focused on taking cover under desks or tables when shaking starts. Do not stand in doorways or attempt to get outside initially, but wait for shaking to subside before evacuating on a pre-planned route. At home, people should assemble an emergency kit with enough non-perishable food and water to last three days. Other items should include prescription medicines, a first aid kit, whistle, a portable radio and flashlight with extra batteries, tools and a waterproof container with matches and money.

No Fraser flooding expected this spring Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The annual spring freshet on the Fraser River is not expected to cause any localized flooding this year. Snow survey results from March 1 made it clear that snowpack levels are normal in the Chilliwack area, and normal or slightly above normal throughout most of the province.

“We are always concerned about the risk of flooding in Chilliwack,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “City officials are constantly monitoring the indicators and believe that the conditions do not pose a significant risk for flooding during the 2011 Fraser River Spring Freshet.” Tests show about 80 per cent of the annual peak snowpack in place.

The Lower Fraser snowpack which includes the Chilliwack River Valley is at 120 per cent, however significant freshet flows are generated primarily from the Upper Fraser, Nechako and Thompson watersheds, which are all near historic norms.

Devastating earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand have Chilliwack residents thinking about their own personal emergency preparedness recently. Responding with key information, city officials are holding free presentations on March 22 and 24 to assist residents in becoming as ready as possible. “During an emergency, you and your family could be on your own for an extended period of time,” said Jim MacDonald, Emergency Program Coordinator for City of Chilliwack. “Emergency services may not be readily available as increasing demands are placed on responders. “It may take emergency workers some time to get to you as they help those in most critical need and access to phones, gas, water, sewer and electrical services may be cut off.”

the team in Chilliwack. A news article this week said there is pressure on Burke, Sather and Porter to accept a bid that would land the team in Victoria. That would fly in the face of comments WHL commissioner Ron Robison made in a Chilliwack Progress interview last week. “The league’s position on ownership is always to look for local ownership,” he said. “That is always a priority. We have to make sure we have the right type of ownership, but if there is local interest, that is something we would want to explore.” With Keith and Bond already in the ownership group and Morneau tied to Chilliwack, this would seem to meet the criteria.

Sports Zone, a multi-sport training facility that opened its doors recently. Morneau, the 2006 American League MVP (and a runner-up in 2008) certainly has the financial means to be a major player in any bid, having inked a six year contract worth $80 million with the Twins three years ago. Keith and fellow Bruins co-owner Jim Bond seemed confident last week that they could match or exceed any bids for the Bruins. With Morneau on board, that seems more accurate than ever. The pieces are starting to fall into place, as long as Keith’s co-owners (Brian Burke, Glen Sather and Darryl Porter) and the Western Hockey League governors are willing to accept a new ownership group that keeps

mostly positive feedback, as well as several letters of concern about the budget plans and documents, which can be seen online at www. chilliwack.com. The biggest share of the Chilliwack budget goes to policing costs from RCMP which accounts for 29 per cent of taxation. By comparison a typical Abbotsford homeowner will pay 34% more in taxes than Chilliwack owners, as they’re facing a hike of 4.3 per cent. Surrey is the only community with a lower rate due mostly to its larger commercial and industrial base. “I very much support this budget,” Gaetz said. “And I wish we could do more. I’m looking forward to seeing the new library come online.”

News counted during the survey, including more young people, Lloyd suggested. “The problem with counting youth is they are often part of the hidden homeless. During the day many are sleeping, since at night they have to stay vigilant for safety reasons. So they’re not in the areas we expect them to be. “Plus some are couch surfers so we may not see them on the street.” Chilliwack is not unique in that other regional communities are facing the same challenges with homelessness, addictions and mental health issues, she notes. “The reason why communities are involved in doing this homeless count is to help get funding and prove there is a homeless issue. “The biggest hurdles to finding stable hous-

Last time in 2008 there were 98 homeless people counted in Chilliwack.

‘Tragic, hopelessly booked, grave’ and ‘ridiculous’ Welcome to B.C.’s burgeoning courthouse crunch Jeff Nagel Black Press A drunk driver with his young son in his car nearly hits two police officers and a bystander at the side of the road in Prince George, but is not held accountable for his actions. A hunter from Merritt is caught poaching protected big horn sheep near Williams Lake, yet never faces consequences. A Victoria-area man shoots a puppy belonging to a 12-year-old cancer survivor, is charged with animal cruelty, and ultimately goes unpunished. These are real cases recently thrown out of court in B.C., allowing those accused of crimes to walk free. The reason? Unacceptable delays stemming from chronic provincial government underfunding of the legal system, including courts, judges, prosecutors, support staff and legal aid. An estimated 2,000 additional criminal cases still stuck in the system have already been delayed so long, they are at risk of being thrown out as well. And there’s no end in sight. So clogged are the courts – particularly in Surrey – that judges are increasingly outspoken in denouncing the logjam and lack of resources that threaten the integrity of the entire system. “The backlog is so great and the courts so crowded that in many cases there will be an unreasonable delay should there be even one adjournment on a trial date,” warned Surrey Provincial Court Judge Peder Gulbransen last November, as he threw out the prosecution of an impaired driver who waited 32 months for a trial date. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” ruled Judge Ronald Webb last year, in staying the case in Cranbrook against an accused cocaine dealer who waited more than two years for a trial expected to take just three hours. Another troubling example is that of an alleged child rapist in Coquitlam whose trial never went ahead because the system apparently couldn’t afford to translate victims’ statements quickly enough so the accused could understand them. Police requests for funding for the translations had been denied and the trial was repeatedly delayed. “It is very disturbing that the value of the complainants’ sexual, physical and emotional integrity is less than the cost of translation and transcription,” Judge Marion Buller Bennett ruled last year. She ordered the multiple charges of assault, assault with a weapon, sexual assault, incest and sexual touching of a young person be dropped after a twoyear wait. The judge called it “a tragedy”

Are we ready? As the scope of the catastrophe in Japan unfolds, here in B.C. we should pause to reflect upon two things – first, the tragic loss of life to the earthquake and tsunami, and secondly, our own level of preparedness for such a natural disaster. Experts have long been warning that the B.C. coast sits on a major fault line. It is a matter of when, not if, a killer quake hits this area. There are serious lessons to be learned from this most recent crisis. In the days that followed Japan’s quake and tsunami, people were searching for water and food. Clearly, thousands of households – including those that escaped damage – were simply not prepared to handle such an emergency with the most basic supplies and plans. Are we? The answer is, for the majority, no. The ramifications of a major quake will be the same here as they are in Japan. Stores will be damaged, and those that aren’t will be sold out of essential supplies in hours. Transportation will be severely interrupted. Telephone and Internet is likely to be down. So... do you have a survival kit in your home, with all family members familiar with its contents? Do you have a complete first aid kit, and sufficient knowledge to deal with basic trauma? Do you know how to turn off the gas in your home? Do you have alternate shelter in case your home is uninhabitable? Do you have a family plan as to what to do if a quake hits while you’re separated? Do you at least have enough water to last three days, for your family? Do you have enough food on hand to last that long, or longer? If you answered no to any of the above, you have a choice. You can become prepared now, or ignore this latest warning – at your peril. Black Press

Province going ‘Gaga’ over smart meters VICTORIA – This summer, BC Hydro starts installing 1.8 million smart meters to eventually upgrade every electricity customer in the province. This is controversial for several reasons. First, they’re doing it now because former premier Gordon Campbell decreed it must be done by the end of 2012. Second, the smart grid is one of several major BC Hydro projects the government exempted from having to undergo a cost-benefit review by the B.C. Utilities Commission. And, of course, there is the budgeted cost of $930 million, coming at a time when BC Hydro is projecting rate increases approaching 50 per cent over the next five years. When I spoke with BC Hydro smart meter project executive Fiona Taylor last week, she naturally had no comment on the poli-

tics. Smart meters are inevitable, she said, since mechanical meters are obsolete and eventually won’t be made any more. Taylor insists the pending rate increases would be even higher without smart meters. BC Hydro estimates the wireless meters will not only pay for themselves, Tom they will produce a FLETCHER net saving of $500 million over the next 20 years. Even some BC Hydro employees were surprised to hear that, with current technology, the utility has no way of knowing your power is out until you phone them. And when line crews come out to repair a local blackout, how do they determine if the repair is com-

plete? They drive up and down the road to see if people have lights on. If you use a backup generator, they might miss you. Smart meters will have “last gasp, first breath” capability, storing enough energy to send a signal that reports the power has gone out, and another signal when it is restored. As it stands, a repair truck can be dispatched to a reported power failure, only to find that the customer’s main breaker has tripped. There is another concern, which is that the brief signals emitted every few hours to send readings to a central hub are somehow a health hazard. BC Hydro has retained former Vancouver medical health officer Dr. John Blatherwick to respond to this. He notes that smart meter signals are the equivalent of a threeminute cell phone call once per

day, at a much greater distance. These particular radio frequency signals are similar to those used for digital TV. Such signals are also emitted by the spark plugs of a car, by lightning strikes, in fact all visible light and even the infrared generated with your body heat. But there are people who insist they have a greater sensitivity, and there will probably be some generalized hysteria and system-milking as we saw with the squabble over a power line through Tsawwassen. The NDP is nurturing this flame of discontent as it campaigns against smart meters. It’s popular among the young, and no less an authority than Lady Gaga is the poster girl to warn against wireless Internet in schools. NDP leadership candidate John Horgan is the party’s ranking power expert. He mainly argues that BC Hydro doesn’t need to

spend all this money on smart meters right now. But he is careful not to question the tinfoil hat perspective, and risk alienating the ignorant and superstitious vote. This is a key constituency in parts of B.C. Blatherwick notes that “if you truly are harmed by this level of radiation, you can’t live in a major city.” I’ll say. The computer producing this column is on wireless, one of at least a dozen signals it can detect in my neighbourhood. Our modern comfort is fragile, as Japan reminds us. It needs smart equipment, and smart people. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

Bruins have impact in community I had the opportunity to read the article on The Progress site where [Moray] Keith states he’s willing to buy the team and keep it here in Chilliwack. While personally and selfishly I want the team to stay here I’m not writing to tell you my thoughts on this ordeal, but to let you know that I take offence to the following quote from Mr. Keith: “It’s no secret that we’re not terribly happy at all with where Chilliwack has gone, what has happened with the team and the way it’s gone in the community...” As chair of Chilliwack Football Club, our association and its teams – my own personal teams included – have benefited financially from having the Bruins here by allowing us to do the 50/50 at the games. Without those 50/50s many kids would not have been able to go on trips to Europe and the US for soccer academy exchanges and to attend pro team youth camps. The proceeds of the 50/50 have also fully funded teams and their travel to tournaments. For Chilliwack FC, the 50/50s and ticket fundraisers have also made things easier on us as an association as well as they have helped us offset the costs of sponsoring children who

cannot afford to play as well. As a cancer survivor (and I do hate that word and can’t believe I just used it to describe myself) I know I have benefited indirectly from the Pink In The Rink Nights as the monies raised have gone towards finding not only a cure for cancer but also to find ways of to help treat it. I have been fortunate enough to benefit from the latest treatment procedures. Procedures that may not have been available to people like myself if it wasn’t for the Canadian Cancer Society and BC Cancer Foundation and their fundraising efforts. The list of community involvement with both players and staff is quite extensive as well. The Bruins Pediatric Centre at CGH, Books with the Bruins twice a week, post game skates on Sundays, player appearances at local stores, speaking engagements at service clubs and schools, helping out at Community Services and at the Salvation Army, are just some examples of our open involvement in the Community. We also can’t forget about the hospital visits to our fans and appearances at birthday parties. Minor hockey even changed their name from Coyotes to Bruins!

Developers should take better care of roads Re: Rough roads – even temporary – not appreciated (Chilliwack Progress, March 15) I agree with Angele Pomerleau; the roads in this city are horrific. It is time the city should get our roads up to standard. Keith Wilson is terrible all because of new development, which is fine but we as taxpayers are paying for roads that are being wrecked by developers that are creating new living space. Well I think that if they tear up a road someone should be responsible for putting things back in good condition. If the city is allowing new development you would think that they would keep up the existing roadways. Why should we, the taxpayers, pay for developers to make oodles of money when their developments sell and we are left with terrible roads? Maybe we should start sending in our car repair bills to the city.

My point is we are in the community and we are in the community in a very positive way. Even now, there are very few places I can go where I don’t have to talk hockey with someone. I hear it all the time how great it is that the team is visible out in the community. If we had a negative impact on the community as Mr. Keith seems to be implying we would not have a mountain of requests from charities asking for our support nor would we have been able to participate in any of the interactions I mentioned above. At any rate these are just my thoughts and you can take them for what they are worth, I know the team isn’t perfect. As someone who was with the team before there was even a team formed I am offended at the implication that the work myself and my coworkers have done in the community has been negatively received. Whatever happens with the team will happen but I want you to know that the team has done a lot of good in the community and has indirectly touched many of Chilliwack’s residents despite what Mr. Keith seems to think.

Is anyone, beside me, getting really tired of hearing the whining about how poorly our ex-armed forces personnel are treated? Canada has had no conscription policy in place for well over 60 years. Those who would choose a career (or interim job) in the armed services do so totally by choice. The possible dangers to life and limb are not deep dark secrets. Those on assignment, mostly come back intact. Yes, some do die and others are injured to a greater or lesser degree, but perhaps no more than they might suffer in an industrial incident in mining or construction. I think that we as a nation, look after our ex-services personnel pretty darned well with a hefty payout and a life pension. It seems that part of their discontent stems from the fact that when they turn 65, their pension is reduced by the OAS and CPP. Know what? For most of us, apart from savings, OAS and CPP is what we get to live on.

Lack of sheriffs add to court delays Kevin Diakiw Black Press Following a B.C. governmentimposed hiring freeze, the number of sheriffs in this province has dropped by almost 20 per cent in recent years, forcing some judges to close court sessions. Last January, three judges in Victoria cancelled the day’s agenda because there were not enough deputy sheriffs on hand. “This isn’t the first time that’s happened. It’s happened in Nanaimo, it’s happened on other occasions,” said Dean Purdy, chair of Corrections and Sheriffs Services Component of the B.C. Government Employees Union. “Courts are being delayed and justice is being delayed.” Over the past few years, Purdy says a hiring freeze has been invoked by the province, causing a 17-per-cent drop in the number of available sheriffs in B.C., from 520 to 430. Because of that, vacancies in court are being filled with corrections officers for extra security. In three separate courthouses in the Fraser Valley, where there are high-security gang trials being held, Purdy said they’ve had to bring in corrections officers to provide back-up in court. “They’re just getting by by the

skin of their teeth,” Purdy said. “Delays in our already crowded courtrooms is a problem. They’re already backed up enough and adding to that is just an ongoing problem.” B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch has since hired 24 auxiliary sheriffs, but Purdy said there will have to be more. Court cases are becoming more complicated and more dangerous, particularly with the number of accused gangster trials coming up. The union has been calling

for metal detectors at each of the courtrooms, as is done in Alberta. Purdy also estimates another 50 to 100 sheriffs will be needed to keep court proceedings moving. That would require an annual investment of about $5 million. While there’s been no firm commitment, the fact judges are shutting down proceedings due to the absence of a sheriff has the government’s attention, Purdy said. “Nothing was done until we reached the critical point we’re in now.”

is in short supply in many areas, a result of the government’s 2002 decision to close 24 courthouses, including ones in Delta, Burnaby, Hope, Maple Ridge and Squamish, increasing the load on neighbouring courts. Major criminal trials involving organized crime – such as the “Surrey Six” murders or the UN Gang prosecution –aren’t expected to be lost to delay. But Lakshman warns time-intensive mega-trials suck up vast amounts of resources for courts, police and prosecutors, leaving less time to dispense justice for more run-of-the-mill criminals. He argues any money saved by the province through justice system austerity is a false economy, considering

the money blown bringing accused criminals to court but not quite to trial. Cases are being terminated after police have conducted a full investigation and submitted charge recommendations. After Crown has read the file and approved charges. After charges have been sworn in court. And after many appearances before a judge, prosecutor, clerk and sheriff – often with various witnesses waiting to testify. “It’s a complete waste of money,” Lakshman said. “It adds lunacy on top of a ridiculous situation.” -----------------------------NEXT WEEK: VICTIMS IN LIMBO Second in a five-part series

News Chillwack MLA holds ‘influential’ posts in government appoint him parliamentary secretary is “further indication” that she’s holding no grudge against voters like those in the Chilliwack riding, who voted heavily in favour of Falcon in the party’s leadership race. “She knows we’re a party that has (held) the strong support of the centre-right of this province for a long time,” Les said. “That should continue, and I believe it will continue.” As parliamentary secretary, Les said he will be working “closely with the premier” taking care of government business, like intergovernmental relations, which require “a lot of work and time the premier doesn’t have.”

He said the treasury board position is “actually something I had looked forward to for some time now.” “Obviously, it’s an important group within government and ... I’m excited to be part of that and make a contribution there,” he said. Les was the province’s Solicitor General until he stepped down in March 2008 after learning a special prosecutor had been appointed in June, 2007 to look into allegations of improprieties in land deals made during his time as the city’s mayor. But after an investigation lasting more than three years, no charges were laid against Les.

Chilliwack MLA John Les was not among the cabinet appointees announced by Premier Christy Clark Monday, but he was named to three influential positions near the decision-making heart of her new government. “It kind of feels like I have the responsibilities (of a minister) without the titles - but that’s fine with me,” Les said Tuesday. In addition to parliamentary secretary to the premier, Les was also named to sit on the treasury board and on the new

government’s policies and priorities committee. Les didn’t find it odd that the “liberal” Clark would name a conservative like himself to be her “right-hand man” as parliamentary secretary, or name her conservative rival for the leadership, MLA Kevin Falcon, to the high-profile post of finance minister. “Our party is a coalition,” Les said. “It’s a coalition of everything that’s not socialist, and Christy understands that very well, and she’s very prepared and willing to work with the likes of myself and Kevin Falcon ... and many others of the conservative bent.” He said Clark’s decision to

Other speakers include Ministry of Agriculture production specialist Dave Woodske, and agriculture consultant Christine Koch. Woodske has an MSc degree in Horticulture Science from the University of Saskatchewan and is currently responsible for the nursery, floriculture, and greenhouse vegetable sectors in B.C. Koch comes from a family of greenhouse floriculture growers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her parents grew greenhouse-grown cut orchids and roses in Langley. During her 12 years

incorporated or modified to work here.â&#x20AC;? Key note speaker will be Esther Venneken, a professor at HAS Den Bosch University, Netherlands. She will speak about Greenport(s) Holland, a network that represents a cluster of Dutch businesses related to horticulture including arboriculture and floriculture. The discussion will revolve around local and remote food production, innovative ideas, knowledge, research, development, food technology, exports, and renewable energy.

on Wednesday, March 23, is open to all stakeholders in the B.C. agriculture industr y. McCullough has invited politicians, farmers, university instructors, and people who supply, design, maintain, and deliver farming equipment and technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping we get representatives from all over the region,â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity for anybody associated with the agriculture industry to hear what people are doing in the Netherlands, and how their ideas can be

ogy and farming expertise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this partnership between HAS Den Bosch University and UFV, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to share information and perhaps learn more about how todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technology can help our farmers become more productive,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a case of reinventing the wheel; we want to see what technology they are using, how it works, and how it will work for Fraser Valley farmers.â&#x20AC;? The symposium, which takes place at Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coast Hotel

with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture she was the provincial floriculture specialist and later senior manager, horticulture industries. UFV chancellor Brian Minter, who founded Minter Gardens and has a strong background in the horticulture industry, will be the special guest speaker. The day will wrap up with a panel discussion about the agriculture industry in both countries and a closing reception hosted by the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really an excel-

lent opportunity to share ideas with a country that is cutting-edge when it comes to agriculture and horticulture technology and development,â&#x20AC;? adds McCullough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage people who are connected to this industry in this region to attend and see what is happening in the Netherlands.â&#x20AC;?

Using his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to kick-start his own political career is not an unexpected charge to Mark Strahl, who announced his bid for nomination as the Conservative candidate in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon just two days after his father announced his retirement from politics. But the 32-year-old son of MP Chuck Strahl is quite unflustered by the charge, and made it clear in a Tuesday interview that he earned his own political chops years ago. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked in every facet of the political life since he was 14 years old, Strahl pointed out, from planting lawn signs to working as an intern to Reform Party founder Preston Manning, to managing the successful election campaign of MP Randy Kamp in the Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission riding in 2006. He is currently Kampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive assistant as well as president of the Conservative Board of Directors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to be a good MP,â&#x20AC;? Strahl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how to hit the ground running.â&#x20AC;?

Mark Strahl

And to keep on running. After watching his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political experiences, the sacrifices he made, Strahl said he has no illusions that a novice might hold about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;glamorâ&#x20AC;? of elected life. And he also learned from his father how the machinery of government works, and how a good MP is â&#x20AC;&#x153;able to advance their ideas in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;? and work for constituents at home in the riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to get things

done in Ottawa - but it is possible,â&#x20AC;? Strahl said. Knowing firsthand the rollercoaster nature of political life, and the grueling lifestyle his father lived for 17 years shuttling weekly between Chilliwack and Ottawa, why would he want to run for the nomination? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always admired my dad when he was a logger, and when he went into politics, I admired the way he conducted himself,â&#x20AC;? Strahl replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned from my dad, and from my grandfather, who served in the military, that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to serve your country,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And with that service comes some form of sacrifice,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything worth doing probably involves that.â&#x20AC;? If he wins the nomination, Strahl said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too worried about the NDP claim that onethird of the Conservative votes that once went to his father will come to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talked to too many small-c conservatives who agree with the big-government policies of the NDP,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to capitalize on a change of (Conservative) candidates, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it will fool too many.â&#x20AC;?

‘Sleeping bear’ roused at gravel meeting Minimum wage in B.C. going up May 1 Robert Freeman The Progress

A “sleeping bear” of public anger was aroused by a decision of the Fraser Valley Regional District committee last week to deny a seat to the public on a gravel planning committee. The motion to support a request by the FVRD Citizens’ Association for a seat on the Aggregate Pilot Project committee was defeated March 8 by a majority of electoral area directors on the Community and Regulatory Services Committee. “This is the sleeping bear,” Lake Errock resident Katherine Wahamaa shouted as she left the committee room with about two dozen angry residents. She was referring to

Deroche-area director Al Stobbart’s statement about “poking a sleeping bear” by supporting the request for a public seat on the APP committee. Before the vote, Stobbart said he was concerned about the “message” support for the FCA seat would send to the rest of the APP committee, which includes representatives from the B.C. Mines Ministry and the gravel industry. “I hate to poke a sleeping bear,” he said. But after the meeting, Stobbart said he hadn’t meant political punishment by MLA Randy Hawes, chairman of the APP committee and the secretary of state for mining, but the prospect of the gravel industry walking out on an agreement that had taken six

years to negotiate. “I’m not trying to be nice to Randy,” he said. “I voted my mind, and I just don’t agree” with the FCA sitting at the committee. But Bruce Edwards, FCA secretary, wondered why the area directors hadn’t simply supported the request, and let Hawes take the political heat for denying the public a seat on the committee. “Why are you directors taking the bullet for Randy Hawes?” he asked. “Why are you going out of your way to make enemies of your constituents?” Stobbart told The Progress he voted against the motion because “I just don’t believe in passing the buck.” Only two electoral area directors, Wendy Bales and Dennis Adamson, represent-

ing Lake Errock and Yale respectively, supported the FCA request. “I think (a public seat) would only add to the committee, in my opinion,” Adamson said. “But I see the board here doesn’t agree with me.” Bales said the whole planning process would be farther ahead, if the public had been included in the negotiations from the very start. Hawes has insisted that public hearings must be held to make the changes to official community plans that are needed to implement the APP, but many residents doubt public input will make much difference at that late stage. So far, the APP has not been approved by any municipality in the region. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – B.C.’s minimum wage is going up from $8 an hour to $8.75 on May 1, with two more increases by next year. Premier Christy Clark made the announcement Wednesday after her first cabinet meeting. She called it a “long overdue first step” in a province where the minimum wage hasn’t changed in a decade and is the lowest in Canada. When fully implemented, the pay of a minimum wage worker will increase by about $4,000 a year. The general hourly minimum wage rate rises to $8.75 on May 1, to $9.50 on Nov. 1 and to $10.25 on May 1, 2012. The $6 an hour training wage is also being eliminated this May 1. A lower minimum will be set for restaurant and bar employees who serve alcohol: $8.50 an hour on May 1, $8.75 on Nov. 1 and $9 on May 1, 2012. Clark said that measure is similar to the minimum wage system in Ontario, and it reflects the tips earned by alcohol servers. “People who serve alcohol for a living will in many cases be earning more from their tips than they do from their wages,” Clark said. NDP critic Shane Simpson said the initial increase will still leave B.C. with the lowest minimum wage in the country. The NDP and the B.C. Federation of Labour have been campaigning for an immediate increase to $10 an hour. “We know that even at $10.25, it will still be below the low-income cutoff for poverty rates in this province,” Simpson said. Clark denied that raising the minimum wage will cost jobs in the B.C. economy. Business representatives disagreed. “The research is clear that minimum wage hikes put entry-level jobs in jeopardy,” said Mark von Schellwitz, chair of the Coalition of B.C. Businesses. “Employers on tight margins will have to roll back hours or hold off new hires due to increased payroll costs as well as expectations for cascading wage hikes for non-minimum wage employees.”

Pellet gun ban for the urban core being studied by city hall Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Replica pellet guns that look almost identical to real handguns are a perennial problem for police on Chilliwack streets. That’s one of the reasons why banning them in the urban core, for public safety and property damage reasons, is something

city council is getting ready to look at — just not quite yet. Coun. Chuck Stam asked that the matter be referred back to staff at Tuesday’s council meeting. A recommendation that: “Council consider an amendment to the City’s Firearms Regulation Bylaw to include regulation of pellet gun use throughout the urban core area,” listed on the March 15

Even though it arose from discussions emanating out of the city’s public safety committee, Stam said council needs more information about how it could be enforced using municipal bylaws, before they’d be ready to vote on it.

This course is more about memorization; tuning into the language needed to be a tourist. “We’re tr ying to appeal to students who are interested in languages, but who don’t want the hard academic slog of a two- to threeyear language program,” said WarkentinScott. The course was developed as a way of increasing interest into learning languages. Sardis secondary’s language department has experienced a decline in students in the past few years. Languages are not a core course, do not fall into fine arts or applied skills and are not required for graduation. Many universities have even dropped needing a second language from their entrance requirements. “It’s hurt our enrollment,” said WarkentinScott. In addition to learning the basics of language, students will also learn about the countries different cultures and histories. There won’t be final exams, but there will be

The Progress Sardis secondary’s language department is trying to pull more students into learning languages by tapping into their travel dreams. What student doesn’t want to travel the world?

They don’t need to know the ins and outs of a country’s language to experience all that, they just need to know the basics. That’s what Sardis secondary’s new course, Languages for Travel intends to provide. “The idea is to give them enough language to be able to ask for directions, purchase train tickets, order off a menu,” said German and French teacher John Warkentin-Scott.

.Jordy Hein is feeling anxious about crossing the 50-metre cable suspension bridge that stretches between two granite spires in the remote mountains of eastern British Columbia. He’s not alone. Gaps between the 90 planks that make up the bridge surface allow plenty of space through which to see the valley floor that is a vertical kilometre below. Truth be told, all 10 members of our climbing group, including me, my two teenage sons and my husband, are nervous about the crossing. Perhaps even a bit terrified.

Road with a view: Getting to Ucluelet is half the fun By Jamie Gripich Special to The Progress Light breaks through the craggy branches of giant cedars on your right, rocky outcroppings drip with rain water on your left. As you slow to take the corner at the top of the rise, a commanding view of Kennedy Lake unfolds in front of you. The lake’s 6,475 hectares of water surface makes you think you’ve reached the ocean – it’s a common mistake. But you’re getting close and the journey to Ucluelet has been one magical, natural wonder after another. You could fly from either Victoria or Vancouver to Ucluelet, but if you really want to experience what makes this island special, you need to drive. From the breathtaking scenery of mountains, lakes and ocean to road-side curiosities to a golden west coast resort at the end of the rainbow, this drive has it all. The road with a view begins once you leave the Trans Canada Highway and head west on Highway 4 where you’ll quickly come upon Coombs.

The whimsical goats on the roof of Coombs Country Market have been a snapshot must for tourists for years. Go inside and pickup some fresh baking or a gourmet treat for the road. Browse around the gift shops and crafts stores for a selection of hand made toys and unique crafts. Coombs Country is no cookie cutter strip mall with fast food franchises and carbon copy stores. Further along Highway 4 you’ll pass by Cameron Lake, as mysterious as it is picturesque. In the summer of 2009 researchers from Vancouver came to Cameron Lake to follow up on repeated sightings of a lake creature. A little further down the road, and centuriesold trees at Cathedral Grove beckon you to stop once more. The 301 hectare park has one of the most accessible stands of giant Douglas fir on Vancouver Island – some as old as 800 years and nine metres in circumference. Continuing on your way to Port Alberni, the scenery along Highway 4 will take your breath away.

Soon you discover magnificent Kennedy Lake bordered by jutting cliffs and rugged mountains that will trick you into thinking you’ve reached the ocean. But it will be the tell-tale craggy treetops against the sky that will give away that you’re nearing the open ocean and the end of your odyssey. Finally you make a left turn at a fork in the road and you’re just a few minutes from Ucluelet with its ancient tradition of welcoming others. Ucluelet takes its name from the Nuuchah-nulth First Nation phrase, Yu-clutl-ahts, “the people with a good landing place for canoes.” A community which once relied upon fishing and logging for its livelihood is morphing into an eco-tourism resort town. Ucluelet continues to develop and build its reputation as a first class yet unpretentious resort town. Its small town charm and respect for its heritage are apparent throughout. The west coast of Vancouver Island is as rugged and rough as it is breathtaking, and new developments in

Hiking to new heights HIKING from p22 Fellow climber Shawna Fisher recommends a little musical motivation. “Just hum the Indiana Jones theme,” she says sweetly, obviously remembering the suspension bridge featured in the Temple of Doom movie. Hein looks incredulous. “Didn’t that bridge break and people get shot at?” he asks. In the end we all attach the safety ropes of our climbing harnesses to the bridge’s thick steel cable and summon the courage to walk over the abyss. Once across, it’s a steep climb up a cliff-edge route to the top of the second spire. At the summit, we— all mountaineering newbies, if you couldn’t tell—whoop and high-five each other for reaching 2,650 metres on such a challenging route. The climb is one of the extraordinary helicopter-assisted adventures available with Canadian Mountain Holidays. Each summer this Banffbased company repurposes its luxurious ski lodges to bring warm-weather hikers to the thrillingly remote Columbia mountain range, west of the Canadian Rockies. My family trip is based out of the rustically elegant Bobbie Burns Lodge. For three days we rise early from duvet-covered beds, eat a hearty breakfast, pack a gourmet lunch and load in to a Bell 212 helicopter for a quick ride in to the high alpine. It feels so decadent: “like eating the tops off all the muffins” is how one avid

heli-hiker describes the experience of catching a lift to the drop-deadgorgeous landscapes seen rarely by even the most hard-core hikers. Under the watchful eyes of our guides, we trek through alpine meadows, beside glaciers and along mountain ridges. At the end of each day the helicopter whisks us back to the lodge for rest, relaxation and delicious meals served family-style at long wooden tables. The hands-down highlight of our trip is the six-hour climb up, over and down the two granite towers that guides have named Mount Nimbus. (These mountains are so remote that many remain, officially, unnamed.) Mere mortals like my family are able to safely complete the climb thanks to the via ferrata (Italian for “iron road”), a high-alpine route equipped with fixed cables on to which we clip our safety ropes, and iron rungs that we use when hand and foot holds are scarce. The ultimate leap of faith comes near the end of the climb when, after descending part way down the spire, we rappel 60 metres back to terra firma. Pushing off into thin air, trusting in the skill of our guides, who’ve secured our thick ropes, is terrifying and exhilarating and life affirming. Indiana Jones would surely approve. Explore More:

the most challenging), getting full range of your shoulder girdle when doing upper back exercises, and getting your thighs parallel to the floor when performing a squat. If you are unable to do an exercise through the full range of motion, chances are the weight you are lifting is too heavy. Mistake #5: Sacrificing form to lift a heavier weight. Sure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to brag to your friends that you can curl 50 pounds, but if you are using your entire body to swing the weight up, you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really doing a biceps curl in the first place. When it comes to safe and efficient weight training, proper form is essential. If you cannot perform the exercise with proper form, lower the weight. If you do not know what proper form is, get help. You will save yourself the pain of being injured, and a lot of wasted time at the gym.

Illusionist Ted Outerbridge, along with wife Marion, will be performing in Chilliwack on Saturday at the Cultural Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Goose bumps are all part of the ride Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Goose bumps are a natural reaction to being utterly astonished. They’re all part of the package from illusionist Ted Outerbridge, and his wife, Marion Outerbridge. Outerbridge’s latest show, The Time Capsule Tour, arrives in Chilliwack for one thrilling night on Saturday, March 19. “It’s a 90-minute ride,” enthuses Ted. “It’s very interactive, which keeps it fresh. It starts off with us getting to know the audience and then we share a little about ourselves.”

It goes from silly to awe-inspiring to larger-than-life, with the Outerbridges combining illusions with scenarios from everyday life. “The show is about sharing the wonder,” says Ted. “When I went to my first rock concert, The Who, it gave me goose bumps. “My first experience watching a magic show did the same thing. So Marion and I have spent a lot of time over the years brainstorming ways to give people goose bumps.” They’ve honed the experience to a sharp edge, having won the 2010 Touring Artist of the Year

award from B.C. Touring Council a year ago. “That was big-time recognition,” says Ted. “Plus we broke into the U.S. this year as well.” It’s their passion for creating the show that sets them apart. “Our attitude is that there are miracles everywhere, and in order to make a magic entertaining, people have to care about what they’re watching.” As with soul-searing lyrics written by a talented songwriter, there are also sections in the show that can literally make some people cry with their beauty, promises Ted. “It’s not a bunch of tricks out

of a magic store catalogue, we celebrate moments in time that the entire audience can appreciate or relate to in some way,” says Ted. The illusions are customdesigned by the duo, which makes them unique, such as the sevenfoot-high alarm clock that the nimble and graceful Marion climbs into. Marion, who has a masters degree in ballet from Russia, says the show will blend illusion, dance and theatre for an exciting family friendly night. “It’s for everybody!” They spend about half the year touring, travelling and performing

theatre in the Fraser Valley. Ensuring this Broadway show lives up to its reputation as “the greatest musical of all time”, over 90 people will be involved in the Chilliwack performance including 28 cast members, eight musicians to play in the main theatre’s orchestra pit (the first time the new pit will be used), and seven touring technicians. Thoroughly entertaining for all ages, The Music Man follows fast-talking racketeer Harold Hill as he hoodwinks the good people of River City, Iowa into buying musi-

cal instruments and uniforms for a boy’s band he vows to organize – despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef! His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the town librarian, with chaos ensuing as the townsfolk get wind of his scheme. The Music Man’s large cast includes beloved, quirky characters, plus a one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads including, Ya Got Trouble, Goodnight My Someone, Gary,

Indiana, Till There Was You, and the rip roaring SeventySix Trombones. Guaranteed to be a sure-fire crowd pleaser and irresistibly spirit-lifting! Tickets, ranging from $40 - $45, are on sale now at the Centre Box Office, online at chilliwackculturalcentre. ca, or by calling 604.391. SHOW.

Mozart’s Requiem will move you One of Mozart’s greatest works, Requiem, will be presented by Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus on March 26. The evening will begin with the gorgeous sounds of the Chilliwack a cappella singers singing 3 Graduals by Anton Bruckner and will be followed by Franz Biebl’s Ave Maria. “There is no sound as beautiful as the sound of a cappella voices,” says resident conductor Paula DeWitt-Krause. “These pieces leave you emotional. They touch your soul profoundly. They will move you, as will the Requiem.” The soloists for the Requiem are soprano Tracey Satterfield, mezzo soprano Caroline Harder, tenor John Arsenault and bass Angus Bell. The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer’s death. “It is one of the most enigmatic pieces of music ever composed,

mostly because of the myths and controversies surrounding it, especially around how much of the piece was completed by Mozart before his death,” she offers. The CSO’s 65-voice chorus will be joined by two other Vancouverbased chamber groups directed by Natalia Manolov, including The West End Chamber Choir and the Varna Chamber Choir. The West End Chamber Choir was founded in January 2009 by Natalia Manolov. Its repertoire is comprised of songs of the great choral tradition, from Bach and Mozart to the best contemporary composers. In its first season the choir had the honour and pleasure to sing Ode to Joy with other choirs and Sinfonia Orchestra. The Varna Chamber Choir was founded in Vancouver in 2004 by Natalia Manolov , the Varna Chamber Choir is a dynamic ensemble committed to musical excellence. It performs music in several languages and has a diverse repertoire that spans

from the Renaissance to the 21st century including Bulgarian Folk songs. The autograph manuscript shows the finished and orchestrated introit in Mozart’s hand, as well as detailed sketches of the Kyrie and the sequence Dies irae as far as the first nine bars of “Lacrimosa”, and the vocal parts of the offertory. It cannot be shown to what extent Süssmayr may have depended on now lost “scraps of paper” for the remainder; he later claimed the Sanctus and Agnus as his own. The concert, with no intermission, will be conducted by Principal Conductor Maestro Clyde Mitchell and Resident Conductor Paula DeWitt-Krause. Requiem, March 26, 7:30 p.m. at First Avenue Christian Assembly, tickets at the Chilliwack Progress, Chilliwack Long and McQuade or Kings Music Abbotsford or 604-8580216.

Gore stops 77 in shootout loss

PUCK PREVIEW

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress If there’s one thing that should make Chilliwack Bruins fans very hopeful heading into the Western conference playoffs, it’s the play of starting goaltender Lucas Gore. The 20-year-old Kamloops native fought through five inconsistent months, mixing stellar starts with brutal outings as his team slowly slipped out of the playoff picture. But since late February, Gore has been money in the bank, turning in a series of great performances between the pipes. He was named the CHL’s goaltender of the week two weeks ago, and Wednesday night he produced his best outing yet. Gore led his Bruins into Spokane’s Veterans Memorial Arena, where he faced an astounding 78 shots. While Chilliwack didn’t win the game, Gore’s goaltending earned them a single point — a 77 save effort resulting in a 2-1 shootout loss. Bruins coach Marc Habscheid is often skeptical when it comes to shot clocks, but even he had to admit Gore had an exceptionally busy night. “I don’t think they had that many, but even if you take 15 off it’s too many,” the bench boss said. “Spokane was

shooting from all over. Every time they had a chance they threw it on net.” With a wonky bench configuration, Spokane had a short change for two of the periods, making it difficult for the Bruins to get fresh personnel on the ice. The Chiefs used that to their advantage. “The benches are kind of the opposite of the way they usually are, and Spokane applied a lot of pressure,” Habscheid said. “So even when we got out of our end, we couldn’t get a change. We had turnovers in the neutral zone and then we couldn’t get back out.” Habscheid has noted

said of possible causes for concern. “But in the first period we were playing the way we wanted to and the shots were 10-8 or something. Even though things didn’t go our way last night, we still feel good about our game.” Friday night brings another potential playoff preview as the Bruins visit the TriCity Americans. Were the playoffs to start today that would be the first round matchup, a rematch of last year’s opening round. The Americans took that series in six hardfought games. “There’s extra motivation against

them because earlier this season, when we were down, they had no problem running up the score on us,” Habscheid added. “We have long memories and that’s all I can say about that.” The Bruins finish off the regular season Saturday night, hosting Everett. Regardless of the weekend results, Habscheid and company (32-30-3-3-) have guaranteed themselves the first ever .500 season in franchise history “We just take every game and try to win it, and at the end of the season the league office will tell us who we play,” Habscheid said.

The Bruins have had their troubles with the hard-working Tips lately, although it’s been a while since the teams last saw each other. The most recent meeting was way back in mid-November, won 3-2 in overtime by Everett. Kellan Tochkin (since traded to Medicine Hat) had two for the Tips, with defenceman Ryan Murray netting the OT winner. Kevin Sundher and Jamie Crooks scored for Chilliwack.

Record set in net? It’s unknown whether Gore’s 77 saves is a league record. If not, it certainly has to be a top-three all-time performance, writes Jacob Bestebroer The Bruins set a couple of new team records this week, one good and one bad. As the 2010-11 Western Hockey League regular season winds down, Bruins radio colour man Jacob Bestebroer discusses those, along with playoff possibilities, in this week’s column. It’s hard to believe but the Spokane Chiefs had 78 shots on goal in a 2-1 shootout win against the Bruins Wednesday night in Spokane. Through five years of existence the Bruins had never allowed 30 or more shots in a period. They did just that in periods two and three Wednesday night. The 78 shots on goal is not a league record. That record belongs to the Brandon Wheat Kings who on March 12, 1979 fired 85 shots in a 14-4 win over the Regina Pats. It’s unknown whether Gore’s 77 saves is a league record. If it isn’t it certainly has to be a top three all-time performance. As the Bruins head into the final weekend of the regular season, their first round playoff opponent is still unknown. Here’s what we do know.

The Bruins will finish fifth, sixth or seventh in the Western Conference. A fifth place finish would get them the Tri-City Americans in the first round. A seventh place finish, which is right now the least likely of the three possibilities, would see them play the Kelowna Rockets in round one. A sixth place finish would have them face either the Portland Winterhawks or Chiefs to start the playoffs. We may not know until Sunday’s games are completed. An interesting side note, the Chiefs, despite having home ice advantage in round one will start the opening round on the road due to the unavailability of their arena. After earning a single point Wednesday, the Bruins moved into fifth place in the Western Conference with 72 points, one point up on sixth place Vancouver (the Giants have one game in hand). 72 points is a new team record, bettering the 71 they earned last season. Just two games remain for Chilliwack and winning both would not guarantee a fifth place finish.

The Giants have three games left and if they win all three it doesn’t matter what the Bruins do. The Giants three games this weekend are a home and home set versus Kelowna followed by a home ice contest versus Everett on Sunday. After visiting TriCity Friday night, the Bruins return for their final home game of the regular season Saturday versus the Silvertips. It’s difficult to predict the exact importance of that game, but it will no doubt factor into how the first round matchups are set up. There is a chance that Everett, currently in seventh place with 67 points could catch the Bruins. They sit five points back of Chilliwack with three games left. It may be unlikely but it is certainly possible. Saturday’s game is also fan appreciation night. The first 1000 fans will receive a team photo and following the game the entire team will be signing autographs on the concourse. Check the Bruins website for a full list of what is happening that night. jb@chilliwackbruins.com

Heartbreak in Huskers family A member of the Chilliwack Huskers football family has passed away. Kyle Osterland passed away Mar. 4 after spending two weeks in a coma. Nicknamed Sunshine, the 23-yearold had been sparring (boxing) when his heart inexplicably stopped and he collapsed against the ropes. CPR was started immediately and paramedics were quickly on the scene. Despite this,

Osterland fell into the coma with minimal brain activity. It’s a difficult thing to wrap one’s brain around, and Huskers head coach Luke Acheson is still trying to make sense of it. “It certainly hits close to home because it gives you the sense that it could have been anybody,” Acheson said. No additional info has come out on the cause of the heart failure, leaving people to write it off

as a disturbingly randon tragedy. “It’s a freak thing out of nowhere with no indication about what caused it,” Acheson said. “There’s no rhyme or reason and I don’t get it. We’ve got such a close-knit team and the guys are taking it really tough.” Osterland joined the Huskers for his final year of B.C. Football Conference eligibility in 2010, playing good ball on the offensive line.

Osterland’s memorial will be held tomorrow at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Richmond, located at 7100 Granville Avenue. “He was positive and upbeat with a huge smile every time you saw him,” Acheson said. “Just a pleasure to coach with a great work ethic and desire to win. I feel and pray for his family and hope they’re doing all right. Hopefully this weekend provides some closure.”

Search continues for junior paddlers The Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club is still recruiting junior paddlers for the 2011 season. The ‘Spirit of Fraser Valley’ is a brand new team that will include male and female paddlers between the ages of 13 and 18.

All paddles and lifejackets are supplied by the FVDBC, along with the supervision of top notch coaches. The team will be entered into at least two regattas during the season. FVDBC will host an information evening, including a

live paddling demonstration, at the Chilliwack Leisure Centre on Mar. 29 at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend For further information visit the club website at www.fvdbc. com

Chilliwack hockey coach Doug Wilson is running four spring training sessions for defencemen on Apr. 3, 10, 17 and 24. Going from 8 to 9 a.m. at Twin Rinks, the goal is to provide specific training to players that will be in peewee or bantam at the start of the 2011 season. Sessions will focus on offensive and defensive roles of a defenceman; shooting, puck placement, defensive zone coverage, body positioning/stick positioning, understanding ‘good ice’ versus ‘bad ice,’ gap control and passing/puck control, 1 on 1, 2 on 1, 1 on 2, when to play the body versus when to play the puck, pinching, lateral movementt and blocking shots/active stick/checking. Sessions are limited to 16 skaters at a cost of $125 per player. For more information and registration, contact Wilson by e-mail at oneursus@shaw.ca or call 604-8580849.

Lunachicks roll over Rage

E GAMS DAY

The Chilliwack Lunachicks continued their post-season roll, moving into the final four with a hardfought 2-0 victory over the visiting North Shore Rage last Sunday. The local classic women’s division soccer team opened the scoring 26 minutes into

the game when Kerry Williams pushed in a rebound from Lisa Shearer. Less than a minute later Cara Brendzy picked up an errant clearing attempt by North Shore and lofted a 30 yard shot over the keeper to give Chilliwack the 2-0 lead.

Chilliwack’s netminder, Lisa Hiemstra, was busy protecting the shutout. She made a spectacular toe save in the second half. Chilliwack entered the game with only 11 players due to injuries and vacation, and the situation became more difficult when Brendzy

was forced to leave the game with a groin injury at the beginning of the second half. Playing one short forced Chilliwack to change their game plan to protect their lead. Follow the playoff chase online at www. metrowomenssoccer. com.

Soccer spots available Women over 30 years of age have a chance to grab a spot in the Chilliwack Rockers’ recreational seven-aside soccer league this spring. The league is expanding from eight to 12 teams, and while most of the spots are filled, a few remain. Games go Tuesdays and Thursdays at Sardis secondary school from April 12 to mid-June, with start times either 6 or 7:15 pm. The popular league grew out of the desire of a bunch of women to get on, or back on, the field after too many years watching their kids from the sidelines. Registration for individual players is being accepted now. Contact Tara Field at rockerssoccer@hotmail.ca for more information.

The Fraser Valley club capped things off with another straight-sets win (25-22, 25-17). Jonah Swanson (MEI, Abbotsford) was outstanding all weekend recording 21 kills, six aces and 18 digs while passing serve at a 2.23 clip on 13 attempts. Jordan Loewen, also from MEI, had 17 kills, eight aces and six stuff blocks for the Fraser

Valley crew. Curtis Schopf, a Chilliwack native and G.W. Graham student, teamed with Surrey Christian’s Josiah Mooy to play strong in the middle. Mooy collected 10 kills and five stuff blocks while Schopf added eight kills and two stuff blocks. The offense was quarterbacked by Ben Friesen and Jordy Koslowsky, both from MEI. Friesen had 48 assists and Koslowsky 46. Steven Hsu of

Langley Fundamental had 14 kills and Keaton Boughen (MEI) had 10 kills and 10 aces. FVVC now sits with an overall record of 18 wins and 5 losses. They will be in Burnaby at the U-15 SuperVolley tournament this weekend. It will be a good test for the boys as they will once again be playing against older athletes and competing on a higher net than they are used to. Get more info at http://fvvc.com/

astroadvice ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, a night out on the town with friends is just what you need right now. After a series of days where it has been work, work, work, some recreation is necessary. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take a breather because you will need to rest up for the week ahead. A supervisor is watching you like a hawk so there will be no chance for goofing off. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a momentary lapse of judgement could cause a ripple effect. Think through all of your choices quite

thoroughly to avoid a potential problem down the line. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, nobody can guess what you’re thinking so you have to give some clues as to what you want. Indecision will leave others confused, and you don’t want that now. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if only you could snap your fingers and everything would be taken care of. Unfortunately, things don’t work like that and you have to put forth some effort to solve a problem. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, ease up on your social schedule

PUZZLE NO. 260

because others cannot keep up with the mania. It’s time for some quiet reflection and moments to yourself. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 A special moment that you were counting on hasn’t arrived just yet. Libra. You may be wondering if it’s ever going to happen. Don’t worry, soon you will get the answer. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, instead of focusing on all the things you have to get done, figure out a way to help others. Tasks won’t seem so monotonous if they’re for the greater good. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, be the bigger person and end an argument. Where is this confrontation getting you anyway? Once this occurs many other things will fall into place. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Matters of money are your utmost concern, Capricorn. With the tax filing deadline looming, you may realize some good news is coming your way that will fatten your wallet. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Make the most of a situation at work, Aquarius. Networking with the right people can open up opportunities in the future that may be just what you’re looking for. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, expect to be the shoulder to cry on when a friend needs some urgent advice. It’s a role you do well.
