Krahn and Neufeld join school board Katie Bartel The Progress The newest trustees to form Chilliwack’s board of education topped the polls Saturday evening. Walt Krahn garnered 3,923 votes, nearly 1,500 more than the seventh seat, and fellow newcomer Barry Neufeld brought in 3,505 votes. Incumbents Silvia Dyck, Martha Wiens, Louise Piper, Heather Maahs, and Doug McKay followed respectfully. The only incumbent not to be re-elected was Darlene Wahlstrom. Krahn, who has lived in Chilliwack his whole life and who worked as a principal in the district for several years before retiring in 2007, was already removing signs in the snow with his wife and son when the results started coming through. He was thrilled to top the polls. “I believe there is a very, very strong appetite in the community for [trustees] to work together,” said Krahn, who doesn’t think major changes need to be made at the board level, “just a quick little check in.” “It is my dream to work together collaboratively with the entire board and our senior administration,” he said. “But we also need to go well beyond our board, and become highly inclusive with all our stakeholders – particularly our parents.” Barry Neufeld, who served as school trustee for 15 years prior to the last election where he didn’t run, listened to the results on the radio with mixed emotions. “On the one hand I was happy, but I also know it’s going to be a challenge,” he said. “There’s some controversy on the board right now, and there’s just two of us new people.” Neufeld hopes he and Krahn can help Chilliwack’s board of education become more unified. He suggested trustees agree on a code of ethics where once a decision has been made, all trustees stand by that decision – whether they agreed with it or not. “I have no problem with debate and even dissent prior to a decision being made; you can put Continued: SCHOOL/ p5

Chilliwack returns four incumbents Lum, Popove join city hall team, page 3 Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The number one vote-getter in the Chilliwack council election wasn’t even sure he was going to run this time around. Coun. Chuck Stam was reelected Saturday night with a resounding 5,386 votes. He’ll be joining incumbents Sue Attrill, Ken Huttema, and Stewart McLean in a triumphant return to city hall next month. “It’s a good feeling,” Stam told The Progress at the candidates’ reception he helped organize on election night at the Best Western Rainbow

Country Inn. “It’s really about the whole team. “With the addition of Jason Lum and Ken Popove to council, we’ll benefit from the depth of their knowledge and experience and be an even stronger team moving forward.” Was he pleased with his own numbers? Last election he earned substantially more with 8,769 people voting for him in 2008. “I would have been happy with any finish in the top six,” Stam said candidly. “This term I really took the proverbial walk in the snow before deciding to run.

It came down to the crunch before I said ‘Yes, I’ll do it.’” He highlighted re-growth, jobs and public safety during the election campaign, as well as improved local transit. “I put out some new ideas and I think the first place finish was reflective of that,” said Stam. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she couldn’t be more pleased with the team chosen by the electorate. “It was fun to watch the results come in and now I’m excited to get going,” she said. It wasn’t “nerve-wracking” this time since Gaetz won by acclamation. “I do think we have a bright

future ahead of us.” Coun. Ken Huttema was re-elected to council in fourth position with 4,136 votes. “I’m feeling really good. I’m very grateful to the community,” he said at the candidates’ reception. With newcomers Popove and Lum, Huttema predicted council will be “well-served” by their efforts. Coun. Sue Attrill said she looks forward to getting back to work now that the election is over. “There are several projects I want to see finished, while being anxious to get started on some others that are in the works,” she said.

Newest members of city council raring to go Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There’s a serious learning curve ahead but the two newest members of Chilliwack city council are raring to go. Councillors Ken Popove and Jason Lum finished second and third respectively for highest number of votes in the 2011 municipal election for council. “I can’t believe the support I got,” said Popove. He earned 4,876 votes, second only to Chuck Stam, who was re-elected with 5,386

votes as top vote-getter. Lum told The Progress he’s been struggling to find a more original verb than “humbling,” to describe his reaction to getting 4,423 votes. “I had fun with the campaign and am excited about the future,” he said. “My face hurts from smiling so much.” Several supporters told them they had never voted before in a municipal election. “It’s something you don’t take lightly,” Lum said. “I feel the weight of that responsibility.” Disappointed with the 15 per

cent voter turnout estimated by city hall, he resolved to raise the number of voters next time. “I will strive to improve civic engagement,” Lum said. “The work begins now.” Lum’s victory celebration was at the Coast, and he also attended an important community fundraiser that night. He credits his win to his team of friends, family and supporters. Popove’s victory celebration was at Bravo Restaurant, where he watched the polls come in with family and friends.

Jason Lum, Ken Popove

“I want to do what I can to help keep Chilliwack moving forward,” he said. Given his tenure at the

helm of the Downtown Chilliwack BIA, the future of the downtown will certainly remain a priority for him. “I want to see the Health Contact Centre project come to fruition. It has the potential to be a huge plus for social issues in the downtown.” Popove says as a “newbie” there’s always lots to learn, but he’s ready for the challenge. “I’m looking forward to working with the whole team, and happy the incumbents got in.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Voter turnout hits new low

More than 125 people took part in the Walk for Peace along Wellington Avenue on Saturday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Peace walk sends message of hope Jennifer Feinberg The Progress More than 125 marchers streamed onto Wellington Avenue for the Peace Walk Saturday. A united message went out opposing gangs and drugfuelled violence, led by Skwah First Nation leaders and others, to mark National Addictions Awareness Week. Before the walk, about 90 per cent of the crowd put their hands up when Peace Walk emcee Theresa Point asked the pivotal question: “How many people here have lost someone, or been seriously affected, by drugs

and alcohol?” Hands shot up and Point, who said she has Sto:lo family connections in Skowkale, as well as Chehalis, nodded in recognition. “We have to be of one heart; we have to be of one mind, saying no more to drugs and alcohol in our communities,” she urged. “No more” taking away family members who end up in institutions, and no more taking away the practice of aboriginal culture. “We’re a broken people who have been through so much, and it’s going to take a lot of healing to get through,” she

said. She spoke about the pain of a community in mourning for a 15-year-old boy who recently took his own life. “Stand with us, and walk with us, as we start to get stronger and take our proper place; as we start to reclaim our songs and our dances.” A moment of silence was held to remember those who lost their lives in a struggle with drugs and alcohol, before the walk toward Skwah First Nation began. Skwah Chief Robert Combes heralded the walk, which started five years ago on his reserve, and originated

as a Walk For Sobriety. “I’m proud of them and I’m proud to stand beside them now,” he said. “We are doing this for our people, and we are doing it for the world. We are struggling and we want the world to know.” Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she was pleased to be at the Peace Walk on behalf of the city. “We’re here to send a message that we stand for peace, and we stand for righteousness and everything good and true,” she said. “Violence and drugs have no place in our community.” Continued: WALK/ p12

Less than 18 per cent of Chilliwack’s 53,402 eligible voters cast ballots in this year’s municipal election, according to preliminary figures. Yet city councillors have more power over the daily lives of Chilliwack residents than federal or provincial governments, deciding everything from how much noise you can make at a party to approving a highrise apartment next to your dream home. Why such a poor turnout — only 9,343 or 17.5 per cent bothered to vote in Chilliwack — for such an important election? (City hall suggests that number may be around 15 per cent, based on the number of eligible voters.) Mark Andersen, a former city councillor, said he isn’t sure — but he vows that Chilliwack’s real estate board will continue its thevalleyvotes.ca website to enlighten voters on the importance of municipal elections, especially the young voters. Andersen, who is also president of the real estate board, said he hasn’t had a chance to sit down with the other CADREB directors, but he believes it’s crucial that the website initiative to educate voters now “push in toward the schools” to reach Chilliwack’s future voters. “If we can get the younger voters voting, eventually they’ll also take more interest in the provincial and federal elections,” he said. By definition, a “participatory” democracy like Canada’s only works if its citizens take part. This year’s poor turnout in Chilliwack — only Langford had a worse turnout of all the cities, towns and villages in B.C. — is lower than the 2008 elections when the city was ninth from the bottom of the list. Andersen said the apathy could stem from the fact that there were no challengers for the mayor’s seat this election, or from the feeling that voting in a municipal election “doesn’t do any good.” “Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said. But for the next three years, at least, Chilliwack is effectively in the hands of the 9,343 out of 53,402 eligible voters who did make it to the ballot box. The remaining 44,059 will really have no right to complain, Andersen said. Province-wide voter turnout numbers are available at http://www.civicinfo.bc.ca/302n.asp?news id=4449&r=4449&r=4448&r=4447

All but one of the seven electoral area incumbents at the Fraser Valley Regional District board were re-elected Saturday. But mayors from five communities — Abbotsford, Mission, Kent, Hope and Harrison Hot Springs — who sat at the regional board were not re-elected, meaning there’s going to be a sharp learning curve as the new mayors are introduced to the complexities of regional government. “It’s going to be interesting,” said Dick Bogstie, long-

time director in Electoral Area G (Hatzic Prairie/McConnell Creek) who lost his seat to challenger Ray Boucher by a vote of 129-87, according to the preliminary results. “The learning curve for everybody is going to be huge,” Bogstie said. Boucher was not available to comment on his victory Monday. Most incumbent area directors were returned with healthy majorities, except in the Chilliwack River Valley where challenger Taryn Dixon finished close behind incumbent David Lamson. Lamson was returned

in Area E (Chilliwack River Valley/Cultus Lake) by a vote of 172-148 over Dixon. Lloyd Forman was returned in Area A (Boston Bar/North Bend) by a vote of 138-33 over Jim Fougere. Dennis Adamson was returned in Area B (Yale/ Sunshine Valley) by a vote of 104-68 over Andy Bishop. Wendy Bales was returned in Area C (Lake Errock/ Hemlock Valley) by a vote of 147-18-108 respectively over Colin Faulkner and Mel Waardenburg. Bill Dickey was returned in Area D (Popkum/Bridal Falls) by a vote of 152-59 over Michael Henshall. Al Stobbart was returned

COUNCIL from Front Candidate Dick Harrington made it to ninth place with 2,206 votes. “It was a positive experience,” he said, noting it was his sev-

enth political campaign of his life. Relatively new to Chilliwack, Harrington waged an old-fashioned campaign, and sought to meet voters one on one by campaigning door-to-door.

In the end, it may have been difficult to overcome “a lack of family roots, or name recognition” in the community, he added. Candidate Rob Browne earned seventh position with 2,941

votes, coming just a few hundred votes short of winning a seat on council. He campaigned hard, knocking on doors, distributing leaflets and updating his election website. “It was a pretty balanced campaign,” Browne said. “But obviously it’s hard to unseat incumbents.” He lauded the idea of getting all the candidates together for a post-election celebration.

“It’s a good way of getting us all together to watch the polls and see what happens.” It was partly Stam’s idea for a joint celebration.Last election he had a private reception but he decided this year to open it up to friends, supporters and the media. “I thought it would be an opportune time to thank all the candidates who ran, and those who won.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

education, emphasized five components needed to advance B.C.’s public education system from good to great. Those components included personalized learning for all students; quality teaching and learning; flexibility and choice; high standards; and learning empowered by technology. “We fit right in the centre of that,” said Manuel. “I truly feel that we are a school that goes and meets our students where they are – we bring our school to you.” Case in point, their student clientele. FVDES ser ves home-schooled kids; students attending regular brick and mortar schools who want to get ahead in their studies; Canadian kids who live overseas, and want to continue with the B.C. education program; and adults upgrading for post-secondary pro-

grams. It also caters to special needs students with educational assistants traveling all over the Lower Mainland to meet those students needs. And it’s the chosen school in the Lower Mainland’s prison system. With a year to complete courses, FVDES provides flexibility for students to work at their own pace and on their own timelines. And while it is on the leading edge with technology, it’s not all online. The school also offers blended courses, where students come in to the site once a week to work. It also organizes several different field trips throughout the school year to bring

its student population together. And because several “classes” are conducted online, where teachers and students interact and discuss lessons, bullying, judgements and stigmas, which are prevalent at most other schools, are non-existent at FVDES. “Because connections have been made before students meet in person, there is no judgement,” said vice principal Sharon Bernard. The current shift towards a more personalized style of learning in public education is a shift towards distance learning, said Manuel. And Fraser Valley Distance Ed is ready for it. kbartel@theprogress.com

put your boxing gloves on and go to it,” Neufeld said. “But once a decision is made, they should be united. A board isn’t just one trustee, it’s a group of seven that make the difference. That’s what a school board is. It’s supposed to be a unity. “There are good people on this board that have different gifts and abilities,” said Neufeld. “And I think each of us need to respect those different gifts and abilities.” Neufeld’s goal over the next three years is to rebuild relationships with staff, parents, and students. “I hope that at the end of three years, the community will have a respect for the school board, and that they will honestly believe that we are all working together for the best interest of students,” he said. The new board will be inaugurated at a special board meeting on Dec. 6.

To my 19 colleague candidates who put their name forward and allowed themselves to be catapulted into the public eye, you shared your vision for Chilliwack, you were questioned, grilled, challenged, and today we congratulate you on your run and integral contribution to democracy.

Fraser Valley Distance Education is often the forgotten school of the district. Located way out on Prairie Central Road, and with hardly any kids on site compared to other schools, it’s hard not to forget that it is in fact part of the Chilliwack school district. And yet, FVDES is the largest school in Chilliwack. And it’s only going to get larger, said school principal David Manuel. The distance learning school currently has 1,071 full-time equivalent students, which actually represents about 5,000 students who take one, two, three or four courses at any time throughout the year. It is also the third highest grossing distance learning population in the province, just below Vancouver Learning Network and Surrey Connect, which have 1,235 and 1,212 students respectfully. The difference with those schools, though, is that the majority of their students come from within their community. At FVDES, 50 per cent of students are from Chilliwack and 50 per cent from elsewhere in the province, country and even the world. With “personalized learning” the popular buzzword in today’s education circles, Manuel believes the sky is the limit for his school. The B.C.

R AESIDE

While scores of Egyptians were dying in the streets of Cairo in a renewed fight for democratic rights over the weekend, barely 15 per cent of eligible voters in Chilliwack were casting ballots in Saturday’s civic election. While kidnappings and murders continued in the Syrian city of Homs, and the death toll in a seven-month battle for reform topped 3,500, fewer than 10,000 of the city’s 63,908 eligible voters bothered to vote. Out of 155 British Columbia municipalities, that’s the third worst. Third from the bottom. The provincial average was better, but not much – 29 per cent. So how is it that the level of government so immediate in our lives draws the least amount of interest at election time? Urban planning, transit and transportation, police and fire protection – these are all areas that municipal governments have direct control over. Garbage removal, water and sewer services are all civic responsibilities. Property taxes, business incentives, bylaw enforcement, the list goes on. It’s not as if there were no choices in Chilliwack. There were 20 municipal candidates and 24 people seeking seats on school board. But still, third from the bottom. It’s been suggested that a low voter turn out indicates an electorate that is satisfied with the status quo. Perhaps. But even those happy with the current administration should vote, just to protect what they support. We can never take our vote for granted. Democracy is like a muscle; without exercise it withers. People around the world are dying for a chance to govern their own lives. And yet for us, we can’t manage better than third from the bottom. Congratulations to the all the candidates. They should be proud of their efforts and accomplishments. The rest of us clearly have more work to do. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Thinking big in an effort to change the world While those Occupy protesters in Vancouver and elsewhere study their navels and think about how much the corporate world sucks, maybe they should take a cue from some real thinkers - those at the top of their game and who are considered the world’s most innovative management thinkers. Ideas matter. That’s what launched Thinkers50, a biennial search for the top 50 business gurus, those brilliant minds able to take a concept and turn conventional business on its head. Thinkers50 was launched in 2001 by a two adjunct professors at Spain’s top IE Business School. This year four Canadians have made it, three in the top ten. This is heavyweight stuff. The list comes from voting at the Thinkers50 website with input from a team of advisers. The search is based on ten principles: originality, practicality of

ideas, their impact, how they are presented, written communication, loyalty of followers, business sense, international recognition, the thoroughness of research, and that elusive guru factor. Winner is Professor Clayton Christensen of Harvard Business School. His book, The Innovator’s Dilemma, explores the conundrum Margaret that successful EVANS companies can fail by ‘doing everything right’. Their successes actually become obstacles in the face of changing markets, especially if what they create disrupts the market status quo. Innovation may help create new markets but the transition can throw it own curve ball.

Professors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne came second with their wildly successful Blue Ocean Strategy taking that market dilemma to a new level. They showed how to open up ‘blue oceans’ of uncontested marketing space by making the competition irrelevant. They emphasized redefining market boundaries, overcoming organizational hurdles, getting the strategy right and focusing on the bigger picture. Third place winner with ‘reverse innovation’ was the $300 man – Vijay Govindarajan (VG), a professor at the Tuck School of Business. His idea for starting an innovative plan is to launch in an emerging nation, then introduce it in developed countries. He challenged designers to create a house for $300, thus launching a campaign to re-invent housing for the world’s poorest people. At No. 4 is Jim Collins, a former

Stanford professor, who set out to understand why some companies thrive in unstable environments while others falter. Michael Porter (5th place) examined competitiveness and explored shared value, arguing that companies should offer value to society as well as shareholders. Canadian Roger Martin, dean of the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (6th place) explores how the real market – the business of designing, producing, selling – is wrongly coupled with the expectations market – the business of stocks and options trading. He compared the dilemma to an NFL event like winning the Super Bowl (reality) to winning a bet on the Super Bowl (an expected reality). Marshall Goldsmith (7th place) and Marcus Buckingham (8th place) both overhaul mental approaches to success. Canadian

Thank you

I would like to thank the citizens of Chilliwack for your support in my run for City Council. To all those who helped with my election campaign in any way, my family and I thank you for your tremendous support. Chilliwack is caring community a great place for business and a wonderful place to raise children. I will continue to work to help make it a healthy and prosperous community

Poor marks for report cards When my son, who is in high school, recently handed me what looked like a report card, I was surprised and pleased. That quickly changed to growing frustration, since there was absolutely no useful information contained in the report; no grades, no teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments, nothing. It was my understanding that no report cards would be issued

at this time due to the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job-action, and I am very grateful to the teachers that have and continued to communicate studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress in other ways. I read the attached letter from the superintendent of schools which stated that the Ministry of Education â&#x20AC;&#x153;requires that parents receive a minimum of three report cards per yearâ&#x20AC;?. But this is

in no way a report card. How much man-power, how many resources, how much time went into producing this useless document? I would like to suggest that the Ministry of Education give their heads a shake and put their resources to better use. Heidi Hodgson

Fire protection needs to be addressed I have witnessed first hand the lack of firefighters in our community. This past summer three off duty firefighters happened to be in my neighbourhood at the time of a fire. When the first truck arrived two full-time members of the fire department were on board. The three off-duty men assisted with the process in dousing the fire. Thankfully, there were reports of nobody inside the structure, however if there was,

nothing could have been done as four suited men are required before anyone can enter the structure, two inside, and two on standby in case a rescue needs to take place. It was several minutes before the second truck arrived. The three off-duty men helped to salvage the neighbouring houses with minimal damage. If those three men had not been there, the houses could have suffered more damage as it would have taken lon-

ger for the two on duty men to deal with the exposures. On the other hand, if there were four on-duty firefighters on the truck, the three offduty firefighters would not have had to risk injury from lack of proper equipment, and the blaze would have been out quicker with less damage as they could enter the house to fight it internally. The City of Chilliwack states there is no money for hiring more firefighters after the economic

downturn in 2009, however money is being spent on things unnecessary such as new libraries ($3.6 million), moving skateboard parks, and paying city workers over-time on weekends to landscape the boulevards. Lives and property are on the line everyday. With the right decision by city council, property damage and deaths due to fire can be reduced. Brandon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill

Gaetz said to approach “with a soft heart” those who are “stuck in the wheel of drug abuse,” with a message that the community cares. Fraser Health addictions expert Dr. Sherry Mumford said that addiction does not get “the recognition” it deserves as a major health issue, as a family issue, as a personal issue, or as a community issue, mostly because of the stigma that’s attached to it. The real message she wanted to send was one of hope. “We talk a lot about the damage, but not enough about the hope and inspiration,” that can be felt on a “journey of recovery and wellness,” she said. Drug and alcohol educator Eddie Gardener was proud to be at the event “taking a stand against something that wreaks havoc and destruction” on communities. “We feel the devastation when one of us loses someone to drugs and alcohol,” he said. “That’s why we are standing up together today. We are igniting a beautiful dream, with freedom from drugs and alcohol.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com

B.C. wants teens signed up to vote

Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – With participation in elections declining at every level, B.C.’s new chief electoral officer wants to extend voter registration to 16-year-olds while they are in high school. Keith Archer released a report

OTHER CRAFT CRAWL NEWCOMERS KAREN HAMILTON AND CARLA SWOPE :

Landscapes created from gasp moments

Carla Swope, left, and Karen Hamilton are two of 10 artisans participating in this year’s ninth annual Christmas Craft Crawl which runs from Nov. 25-27. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Bistro adds ‘pop’ to Craft Crawl Katie Bartel The Progress If you haven’t been down South Sumas Road in awhile, don’t be surprised if you get whiplash after passing by Little Beetle Bistro. With industrial businesses on one side and overgrown farmland on the other, a bright blue bistro in a heritage-style home is situated. With no other eateries around, and seemingly in the middle of nowhere, it’s a bit of an unusual locale for an unknown bistro. Hence, the whiplash. But for owner Jinhee Choi, it was the perfect choice. Choi and her family moved to Canada from Korea two years ago. And while she doesn’t speak much English, she makes up for it through the language of decor. When she saw the building for the first time in 2010, it was rundown, the exterior was a faded green and white, and the inside was just “dirty.” But Choi saw through the imperfections. She saw potential, character. It was that character that attracted orga-

nizers of the Chilliwack Christmas Craft Crawl to Little Beetle’s door. The craft crawl’s organizers were looking for a suitable lunch-stop for the annual affair, and when they spotted Little Bistro, and saw its quaint chalkboard menu, and tasted its fresh paninis and specialty hot drinks – they knew it was perfect. The ninth a n n u a l Chilliwack Christmas Craft Crawl is from Nov. 25-27. Little Beetle Bistro is one of four newcomers to the crawl this year. “We’re excited to be able to help introduce our craft crawl guests and community to this new treasure of a bistro,” said Holly McKeen, craft crawl organizer and owner of Greendale Pottery and Country Guest House. The two-storey bistro was originally a wood-shingled farmhouse when built in 1908. The first floor had been designated commercial and was a general store in

the early 1900s and then later an antique shop. The years, though, were evident in the wear and tear of the building by the time Choi had spotted it. A makeover was needed. Under Choi’s direction, the outside was painted a vibrant peacock blue, the carpets were ripped out, and were replaced with slats of vintage-styled wood, and the walls were torn down to bring in natural light. The interior also features rustic wood beams and a perfect blend of modern mixed with classic knick knacks placed throughout. “It’s a bistro so it has to pop,” said Choi’s daughter, Chloe Do, of the yearlong renovations. Added McKeen, “Little Beetle’s lovingly restored farmhouse setting is located right along our craft crawl route, and not only has great food and fine coffee, but provides a terrific venue for more artisans.” In fact, two more of this year’s newcomers will be featured at Little Beetle Bistro: Carla Swope’s custom jewelry creations and Karen Hamilton’s abstract paintings. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

This year’s Christmas Craft Crawl features seven stops and 10 artisans, which include: Greendale Pottery and Country Guest House with Greendale Herb and Vine; Rustic Soap Co.; Chilliwack River Valley Natural Honey Ltd.; Hamels Fabrics; Little Beetle Bistro featuring artist Karen Hamilton, and jewelry maker Carla Swope; Flowers by Renee; and Winks Home Garden and Gifts. The crawl runs from Nov. 25-27, and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 25 and 26, and from 12-4 p.m. Nov. 27. For more information on vendors, and for a map, visit the website at www.chilliwackcraftcrawl.com.

Karen Hamilton turns her brain off when creating her abstract landscapes. When she first envisions an image, she strips it almost bare, to its most simplest form, until she reaches that “heart and soul” gasp moment a person gets when first spotting a spectacular sight. Then, she pulls out her pastels. “I take the complexity of a landscape and simplify it as much as I can with as little lines as I can so that I create a piece that is just recognizable,” she says. Trees are frequent muses. She’s painted green trees, blue trees, white trees, red trees, forests of trees, tall trees, shoreline trees, women-like trees... “I’m quite known for my trees,” she says. “They have a spirit for me. They represent life.” At the crawl, Hamilton will be featuring a wide selection of her canvas paintings, as well as cards and magnets. Hamilton’s work will be on display at Little Beetle Bistro during the Christmas Craft Crawl from Nov. 25-27. A gallery of her work can be viewed online at www.khartist.com.

One of a kind jewelry Carla Swope is still a youngin’ at just 26 years old, but her jewelry making style is definitely old-school. There’s no machines or glue involved in her creations. Just her hands, she says. Swope’s “one-of-a-kind” bracelets, necklaces and earrings are made through a solderless wire work technique that uses the pliability of her hands with a little help from needle-nose and round-nose pliers. Not easy for most, but for Swope, who’s created thousands of pieces, “I’ve got pretty efficient at it over the years,” she says. “I can probably make something in 15 minutes now, whereas before one piece would take four hours. “It’s about knowing where the wire is and understanding where to position your hands.” Swope’s jewelry often channels nature, incorporating “earthy” things such as feathers, dinosaur bones, pine cones, and fossils, and then adds a touch of feminine sparkle with glass beads and gems. “Everything is done by scratch ... and I love every minute of it,” she says. Swope’s jewelry will be on display at Little Beetle Bistro during the Christmas Craft Crawl from Nov. 25-27. It can be seen online at www.carlaswope. com.

What is Whiplash? Whiplash is the common term for the acceleration-deceleration forces on the neck which may occur in rear-end or side impact motor vehicle accidents. These forces may result in painful injuries to the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck and other spinal areas. However, sometimes they result in no injury or pain at all. I Think I Have Whiplash. What Should I Do About It? If you are experiencing symptoms relating to whiplash after a motor vehicle accident, it is important to be assessed by a physician (at the walk-in clinic, the emergency room or your family physician) to further examine the injury and for further medical advice on your injury. Upon clearance from your physician, the following are simple keys for a speedier recovery: Helping Yourself - Research has shown that it is better to try to maintain your normal daily activities to speed up recovery. You may need to modify some activities to care for your neck but you should gradually resume normal activity. Some limitations may occur to your usual work and recreational activities in the early stages of recovery but it is important to be adaptable.

Sprains, Strains and Automobiles Whiplash - What is it and What to do about it! The term “whiplash” is confusing because it describes both the mechanism of injury and the symptoms caused by the injury. The most common cause is a motor vehicle accident (MVA). The most common symptom is neck pain. However, there may be other symptoms as well: pain in one or both arms, between the shoulder blades and even the low back. Symptoms may appear immediately after the incident or have a delayed onset of a few hours or days. Many people recover within a few days or weeks, but for others it may take several weeks to months for a positive change in symptoms. I am going to help give you the best tips for recovery. And for some, it may be surprising what the best course of action is for recovery!

Although not every employer is able to accommodate, those people who continue to work, even in a reduced capacity initially, have been shown to have a better recovery than people who take time off! You may wish to consult your employer and/ or your Healthcare Professional regarding ways to modify your work tasks and environment. A whiplash injury will cause pain. However, it must be understood that the pain that occurs in the recovery period does not automatically mean there is further injury. It is best to stay active and work actively to recover. Maintain Flexibility of your Neck - An exercise program that is speciﬁc to the neck and upper back has great beneﬁt in the recovery process. The exercises can be as simple as slowly turning your head side to side and rolling your shoulders back. However, don’t underestimate how important they are in regaining normal neck movements. Physiotherapy can assist you on which exercises would be right for you. Be Aware of your Posture - The positions in which you work and relax each day have a great impact on the health of your spine, especially after a whiplash injury. It is easy to compensate and allow yourself to develop poor postural habits. For example, here are some things to think about as you sit and read this article. • Straighten your spine from the lower back and pelvic region by raising your pelvis out of the slump position. • Next, reposition your shoulder blades so that they are squeezed towards the centre of your spine. • Finally, lift the base of your skull off the top of your neck (and create a small “double chin”) • Hold this for 10 seconds and relax. This is a position you should think about every time you sit. Easier said than done isn’t it! What Else Can I Do If I Still Have Neck Pain? Although these are some helpful tips in reducing the amount of neck pain and stiffness you are suffering from with your whiplash injury, for many of you, it will not be enough for a full recovery. Further consultation with Healthcare Professionals may be in order. Physiotherapy can provide further treatment to increase the movement of your joints and allow your muscles to relax to help increase mobility while giving the proper exercises to help you get back to your everyday activities. I hope these tips have been helpful and will help next time you need recovery for a Whiplash injury. Any physiotherapist can assist with this recovery process and get you back to your everyday life as soon as possible.

If you have a little person on your holiday shopping list, Teddy Bear Dreams is a dream-come-true. The Wellington Avenue shop was recently taken over by Mike and Carol Mueller. And while there are a few renovations yet to be completed, Mike says he’s ready for the Christmas season. Teddy Bear Dreams has had a strong reputation for bringing top-quality merchandise to Chilliwack. It offers a full range of children’s fashions – from shoes to coats, and everything in between. Since taking over in August, the Muellers have opened up the store, creating more space, and better sight-lines for a more convenient shopping experience. It’s the kind of place where parents – or grandparents – can go to find fashions that range from everyday, to special occasion. But the Muellers are also adding something new. They are expanding their selection of dance wear, ensuring it meets the demands of all the dance studios in Chilliwack. Currently, says

Mike, some dancers must travel to Abbotsford to find what they need. The Muellers plan to change that by expanding their product line to include popular manufacturers like Bloch. There is a huge dance community

in Chilliwack, Mike says (with the Mueller’s daughter among that community). Teddy Bear Dreams plans to serve that market, as well as the figure skating community. Now is the perfect time to learn more about the store.

Teddy Bear Dreams is taking part in several downtown promotions, including the GetMor program that gives customers a 10 per cent saving on purchases up to $100, and 15 per cent savings on everything above that.

Chriistm as m t s Y IN THE CIT

The Chocolate Shoppe serves up smiles Brenda Robinson likes to make people happy. But her previous job didn’t really give her that opportunity. So she bought a business that’s guaranteed to bring smiles: The Chocolate Shoppe in downtown Chilliwack. The shop has been bringing

high quality chocolate treats to Chilliwack for years. It recently relocated to the downtown, filling a bright and appealing location at Main and Spadina. When the previous owners decided to sell, Robinson saw her opportunity. “I was an accountant, stuck

behind a desk,” she says. Worse still, Robinson adds with a laugh, “Everybody who came in was unhappy, especially at tax time.” Robinson looked around for alternatives, and when she saw the Chocolate Shoppe was up for sale, she decided to act. “What can I do? I can sell

chocolate to people and make them smile.” But Robinson isn’t selling just any chocolate. She’s the only place in the Fraser Valley that sells chocolate from Charlie’s Chocolate Factory in Burnaby. Charlie’s uses only “Callebaut” chocolate, which is imported directly from Belgium and regarded as the finest chocolate in the world. Indeed, Robinson has customers coming from Abbotsford, the Fraser Canyon and as far away as Kamloops for the chocolate. That quality extends to other

specialty treats, including an impressive assortment of specialty diabetic chocolates. But chocolate isn’t the only thing you’ll find at The Chocolate Shoppe. Since taking over a few months ago, Robinson has expanded to bring in a wider selection of gifts. It’s a perfect combination, she says, and at The Chocolate Shoppe offers the perfect place to look for gift ideas in the coming holiday season. That’s enough to make anyone smile.

Cops chip in to fill up Christmas food hampers Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack

RCMP

are gearing up for another ‘Stuf f the Cruiser’ event to make sure the local food

bank is well-stocked this Christmas. Salvation Army spokesman Ian Pratt

said the food bank is “extremely low” this year. “We’re really grate-

ful the RCMP are on side with us,” he said. RCMP officers in red serge hope to stuff

their cruisers with cash or grocery items at three locations this year - Save-on Foods

See mommy kissing cable goodbye.

at 6014 Vedder Rd., PriceSmart Foods at 46020 Yale Rd., and Cooper’s Foods at 45635 Tamihi Way. They’ll be at those locations on Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “Charity unites a community and this is an event that requires the police and the public to work together for a common goal — to help people in our community,” Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. Last year the event raised over $8,700 in cash donations and 9,120 lbs of food. Pratt said the food bank prepared Christmas hampers for 1,500-1,700 applicants last year, but another 25,000 emergency hampers were handed out to the needy. The food bank hands out 120 hampers every day of the year. “That’s an incredible amount of food,” Pratt said. But the Christmas season remains the food bank’s “biggest push” to help the needy, he said. Salvation Army volunteers will start the familiar “kettle” drive for donations on Nov. 26. The food bank’s “top-ten list” of needed donations: dr y pasta, canned meats, baked beans, canned fruits and vegetables, macaroni dinners, canned meals like soup, ravioli or spaghetti, dry cereals, baby foods and diapers. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Chilliwack’s Mathieu Tibbett wages a board battle with Vernon’s Marc Hetnik during a BCHL game last Thursday. The Chiefs beat the Vipers 4-3, lost 4-1 to Merritt Friday and beat Westside 5-4 in overtime Saturday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

in the final minute of the middle frame on a goal by Huisman, with Gould starting the play with a centering pass from the right-wing board. David Bondra crashed the net and Huisman followed, popping the loose puck past Leonard with 57 ticks left on the clock. But with 9:09 remaining in regulation time the Warriors regained the lead. Udy almost kept the game tied, making an initial save on Blanleil, then kicking his right leg out to thwart Hochhausen. But the third shot eluded him as Minnesota native Garrett Skrbich buried his third of the year. With time slipping

away, it looked like the Chiefs were destined for defeat. That is, until an unlikely hero came through with a clutch tally. Spencer Graboski hadn’t scored a goal since Oct. 8, but when a Ty Miller point shot squirted out of a crowd in front, the Quesnel native found himself in the right place to pot his third of the year and send this game to overtime. “I didn’t even know he’d gone that long without scoring, because he’s been playing good,” Perron-Fontaine noted. The best chance in the first five minutes of four-on-four OT came off the stick of Westside defenceman Izaak Berglund, who rang a

shot off the right post from the left faceoff dot. The game winner came with 1:43 left in the three-on-three stage, scored by PerronFontaine. In a uniquely BCHL moment, PerronFontaine found himself leading a two-on-none rush, flanked by Garrett Forster. Per ron-Fontaine went to the backhand, putting the puck up and over Leonard’s flailing glove. “You’re supposed to play man-to-man defence, but I’m not sure what Westside did there,” the blueliner grinned. “We don’t practice it too often, and other teams probably don’t either, so you get more defensive

breakdowns like that, I guess.” While he had a talented winger in Forster riding shot-gun, PerronFontaine was going shot all the way. “I wanted to do a little deke on the backhand and go on the shortside,” he said. “I knew the goalie would bite on my move, so it was cool.” So, it wasn’t a work of art. But by putting the boots to the struggling Warriors, the Chiefs improved to 12-7-0-1 on the season. Twenty-five points leaves them fourth in the Interior conference, within two points of the third place Vernon Vipers (26) and second place Merritt

Centennials (27). For the moment, things are good. “Sincerely, this team has the best spirit of any team I’ve been on in the last five years,” PerronFontaine said. “We’re feeling good right now. Three stars were Huisman (first), Blanleil (second) and Michael Spring (Chilliwack, third). Announced attendance was 1,663. The Chiefs have a tough task ahead this weekend, with back-toback games against the Penticton Vees. Chilliwack hosts Penticton Friday (7 p.m.) before travelling to Penticton Saturday.

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team took two weekend games from the visiting University of British ColumbiaOkanagan Heat. The Cascades bounced the Heat 81-53 at the Envision Athletic Centre on Friday. UFV jumped out to an early double-digit lead, holding UBC-O scoreless for close to eight minutes before the Heat finally hit a three pointer to break the shutout. UFV led by 10 points after the first quarter and took a 13 point lead into halftime. The second half belonged to the more experienced Cascades,

UFV men beat Heat The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team took two weekend games from the visiting University of British Columbia Okanagan. After dumping the Heat 74-52 Friday night at the Envision Athletic Centre in Abbotsford, the Cascades walloped UBC-O 108-63 on Saturday. Ten dif ferent Cascades scored at least two points in the victory led by Jasper Moedt’s (Abbotsford) 18 point performance.

The Cascades led by nine points after the first quarter and 10 at the half. UFV added to their lead in the second half, and finished strong by holding the Heat to six points in the final quarter. UFV’s defense has now held their opponents to under 10 points in five quarters over the past four games. “These were two important wins against a pretty scrappy team in UBC Okanagan,” said UFV coach Al Tuchscherer. “They made us work hard for all 80 minutes this weekend. We still need to work on our consistency over 40 minutes and I’m looking for-

Chilliwack and area REALTORS® take their civic responsibilities seriously. Coming off of a successful REALTORSCare™ Community Fair held on November 5, local real estate agents were also behind an initiative designed to bolster voter turnout in the recent municipal election by setting up a website for residents to find out more about their local candidates, and the voting process, and now, local real estate agents are gearing up for their annual Blanket Drive. The REALTORSCare™ Blanket Drive will take place the week of November 28 - December 5. Last year, REALTORS® collected and donated enough blankets and warm clothing to directly help more than 100,000 people from Whistler to Hope. If you have any gently used blankets, sleeping bags, warm coats, pants, sweaters, scarves, mitts, gloves, hats or new underwear or socks for either gender or any age, please drop the items off at any local real estate office. The items collected in each community are distributed to those who are in need by our various local organizations such as Ruth and Naomi’s Mission.

Hello, my name is Corny Woelders, I am one of the proud owners of Landmark Realty Chilliwack. I am married and have two great kids. I grew up in Chilliwack and graduated from C.S.S.S. (a long time ago) and then moved to Abbotsford where I met my wife of 23 years. I predominately worked in the poultry and dairy industry and also ran our own Poultry Farm. I became a Realtor® a number of years ago and worked out of the Landmark Abbotsford ofﬁce. However, I found myself selling a lot of homes in Chilliwack for friends and family, so when a Landmark franchise came available, my partners and I knew that Chilliwack was the place to go. Today’s low interest rates, plus low prices, plus high inventory, equals the perfect buyers market. So come on in and visit our ofﬁce and I will help you with all your real estate needs.

This town’s BCHL lineage can be traced back to the early 1970’s and the Chilliwack Bruins. A collection of guys from here, there and ever ywhere, Chilliwack’s original junior A team played six seasons (1970-76) in the BCHL and another two in the Pacific Junior A

Hockey League before changing their name to the Colts in 1978. Their accomplishments have faded into history and it is the Chiefs, not the Bruins, whose name holds synonymous with junior A hockey in Chilliwack. But if you look hard enough, you can still find two or three members of that Bruins squad who are happy to reminisce. Like Richard Kramp, who first experienced Chilliwack as a visiting player in 1969. “I was playing junior B with the Nanaimo

Buccanneers one year,” Kramp recalled. “We won the Island division and went up against the Chilliwack Jets.” The games were played at the old Chilliwack Coliseum, with 3,500 or so fans jammed into the old barn. “Into a 2,500 seat arena,” Kramp laughed. “They were hanging from the rafters. It was unbelievable.” In a best of three series, Kramp’s Nanaimo squad took game one then lost the next two, robbed by a hot goaltender whose

us confidence because they didn’t spank us like they normally did,” Kramp said. “We started thinking that maybe we did have a chance. We won the next game and the game after that, and we just knew we could beat them.” Chilliwack won four straight to send Victoria packing. A broken foot kept Kramp out of the lineup in the second round as the Bruins fell to the Vancouver Centennials. Regardless, they’d already etched their names in hockey history. “That series against the Cougars, it was always considered the biggest upset in B.C. junior hockey history,” Kramp said with pride. “I think all the adrenaline and everything with the Victoria series, we were due for a let-down against Vancouver.” Kramp had 39 goals and 89 points in 60 games the following year, captaining the Bruins to a much-improved 25-31-4 record. “We had a lot of local guys who played on those Bruin teams, and I think Greg Reid is still around,” Kramp

said. “The local guys, that’s probably why we had the good following that we did. We had a bunch of guys from Saskatchewan too, and a couple from the States. We had a lot of fun and the community did so much for us.” Kramp fondly remembers ‘Breakfasts with the Bruins’ every weekend at the Royal Hotel. The local radio station did live broadcasts from the hotel Sunday mornings. Kramp’s on-ice play earned him a tryout with the National Hockey League’s Buf falo Sabres, who ended up sending him to the Charlotte Checkers of the EHL. He ended up spending most of the 1972-73 season with the USHL Chicago Warriors. In the years to come, Kramp spent time with the IHL’s Kalamazoo Wings, Milwaukee Admirals and Grand Rapids Owls. He played for two more USHL teams, the Central Wisconsin Flyers and Grand Rapids Blades. Kramp played his last professional hockey in 1980-81, scoring 20

goals in 47 games for the EHL’s Hampton Aces. After his playing days were done, Kramp could have returned to his hometown of Comox. Instead, he chose to settle in Chilliwack. “It’s because of the experience I had playing hockey here, that’s why I came back when my playing days were done,” he said. Kramp was sad when they knocked down the old Coliseum, likening it to an old house full of wonderful memories. Kramp will see some of his old teammates from time to time at oldtimers hockey tournaments. Legendar y coach Ernie ‘Punch’ McLean still looks him up when he comes through Chilliwack. Most of the time, life’s too busy for Kramp to spend thinking about the good old days. But once in a while, it’s nice to take that trip down memory lane. “It’s a different game now than when we played,” he said. “But I still run into fans who remember us, and it’s nice to sit and talk about it.”

name he cannot remember. “The final game was on a Sunday and he wasn’t supposed to play because he was religious and wasn’t allowed to play on Sundays,” Kramp said. “So we thought it was going to be easy. We thought it was ours, but somehow he ended up playing and stoned us again.” Chilliwack turned junior A that summer and Kramp got an invite to camp from Bob Foster. Suddenly he was on the home team, with those rabid rafter-hanging fans cheering for him. “I loved playing in that barn. It always had good ice and the atmosphere was just pure old-time hockey,” Kramp said with a smile. “I talked to lots of guys who played there, and it was intimidating. The boards were set up a bit different, quite high. The spectators were about eight feet above the ice, which probably made it louder.” Kramp and company struggled in their first year, ending with a record of 12-435 (according to www. hockeydb.com). Throughout that season, the Bruins were battered and soundly beaten by a crew from Victoria. “They were 59 points ahead of us in the standings, and they beat us all year long by scores of 10-2, 8-1, 12-3 — they just had their way with us,” Kramp said. “In the playoffs, it was first versus fourth, so we had to take them on again. Everybody was going, ‘Well, that’s the end of that.’” But a funny thing happened on the way to the slaughterhouse. Victoria won the first game, but only by two or three goals. “It wasn’t a rout or anything, and it gave

BCHL 5OTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION F R I D A Y, N O V E M B E R 2 5 T H A T P R O S P E R A C E N T R E

Sixteen years of Chilliwack Chief memories How about the night the anthem CD failed to play, and PA announcer Mauro Ranallo grabbed the mic to sing it himself, writes Jacob Bestebroer As we get ready to celebrate 50 years of BCHL hockey this weekend, I was asked to look back at some of highlights from the Chiefs 16 plus seasons in Chilliwack. No disrespect to the three other BCHL teams that called Chilliwack home (the Bruins, Colts and Eagles), but the Chiefs have obviously provided the best BCHL moments. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won three league

championships, and one Doyle Cup championship, making two appearances at the national championship and winning bronze in 2000. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to top those, but some other moments do stand out to me. What about Joey Potskin and Marc Gagnon scoring two goals and three assists each in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural game, a 9-2 win over Bellingham. What about scoring titles

by Joey Potskin, Shawn Horcoff, Travis Banga, Kevin Estrada and Jeff Tambellini? How about goaltender Curtis Darling scoring a goal, or Jeremy Jackson lighting the lamp four times in his first game. Brad Loring had a five goal game and Doug Ast set up six in another. How about the Warren fan club, or Tambellini scoring the first four goals (all in game one) and the final four goals (all in final game) in a playoff series versus Coquitlam. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget Jeff Yopykâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overtime goal in game seven versus Surrey in 1999, Peter Zurbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s she-

nanigans or Tyson â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;TNTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Terry. How about Bob Gassoff defending a Scott Gomez breakaway by hacking him down like a tree, leading the Surrey owner to lose his mind in the stands. How about the night the anthem CD failed to play and PA announcer Mauro Ranallo grabbed the mic to sing it himsellf. How about Wyat Tunnicliffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two goal performance after learning, just prior to the game, that his father had passed away. Remember Garret and Trevor Hunt turning back the clock 30 years in a wild brawl in Williams Lake, or

watching Estrada grow from a 15-year-old bubble player into an 18-year-old scoring champion? How about some props for the Brew family, who moved the team from Richmond to Chilliwack in 1980. How about the way the organization changed with the hiring of Harvey Smyl in 1993. I wanted to end with the memory that I doubt can ever be topped, game five of the 1995 BCJHL Championship versus Powell River. The Chiefs led the series three games to one and wanted to win on home ice. The game was played on a Sunday, a rarity in Chilliwack, but the building

was jammed with an estimated 2,500 people. No reser ved seating meant 90 per cent of those people were in their seats when the teams hit the ice for warm up. What a ride those three hours were. Ilia Borisychev scored twice and hometown boy Mike Pfeifer put the game away with an empty net goal to seal the 3-0 win. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to describe the atmosphere in the Chilliwack Coliseum that night. It was unbelievable. It was electric. It was simply unforgettable.

Unlucky Strikers fall to Royal City An opening kickoff letdown and some unlucky bounces resulted in a 1-0 weekend loss for Chilliwack’s U-16 soccer Strikers. Only 16 seconds into their game against

Royal City, the local girls were caught flat footed. A Royal City forward slipped between two Chilliwack defenders and nailed a top corner shot for the game’s

only goal. It was the first time all year that the Strikers had been scored on first. Chilliwack dominated the rest of the game, allowing only four quality chances

on their own goal while peppering the opposition keeper. Strong midfield play from Breanna Zeswick, Emma Haagensen, Kiana Thiessen and Brett Karcioglu helped

the Striker forwards generate several chances. But Royal City defenders got in the way of several shots, and lucked their way through a handful of goal-mouth scrambles.

Lunachicks blank Langley on frozen field The Chilliwack Lunachicks traveled to Willougby Community Park Friday night to face Langley United. Playing in frigid con-

ditions, neither team scored in the first half, though Lunachicks Cara Brendzy and Tamara Soellner both hit goal posts.

Chilliwack opened the scoring early in the second half on a goal by Kelly Willmets. Soellner hit the crossbar at the seven

minute mark, but it was Jessica Malinowski who doubled the Chilliwack lead when she scored off an Andrea Northcott through ball.

The final was 2-0. Lisa Hiemstra registered the shutout for the Lunachicks. Chilliwack hosts Coquitlam on Sunday.

✞ Obituaries

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Mary Ross Link on November 9, 2011. Mary LINK was born on October 15, 1920 near Innisfail, Alberta to Thomas Archibald Ross and Elsie Cook Ross. She was the youngest daughter in a family of nine. As a young woman she worked at the Burns Meat plant in Calgary and later moved to Vancouver, BC where she met and married a transplanted prairie boy, her husband, David Link. Mary was a respectful and quiet private person whose greatest qualities were shown by her devotion and support of her immediate and extended family. She enjoyed her involvement with the Order of the Eastern Star and modelled her life around its principles of living life based on the virtues of ﬁdelity, constancy, loyalty, faith, love and charity. She had a close relationship with her only sister, Evelyn Ross Whitelock and kept correspondence and provided love and encouragement to her seven brothers and their families. Left to mourn is her step-daughter, Ginger Reimer of Ferndale, WA, (Steven, Jim, and Julie and families); her brother, Thomas Carey Ross, of Vernon, BC and many beloved nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. We will miss Mary’s quiet, calm demeanor and her strikingly beautiful, clear, bright blue “Ross” eyes.

SGT. THEILADE, R.C.A.F. Ellen Margrethe

Ellen Margrethe Theilade passed away suddenly on November 8, 2011 at the age of 77 at SGT. THEILADE the Chilliwack General Hospital, with her family at her side. Marg was born in Edmonton on September 20, 1934. The family moved to Vancouver, B.C. in 1941 where Marg continued her schooling, joined the Air Cadets and at age 18, enlisted in the R.C.A.F. She was posted back east until she returned to B.C. in 1962. Marg worked at the Recruiting Centre in Vancouver and later transferred to Victoria. Marg’s love of animals and deep appreciation for nature are what ultimately brought her to Chilliwack in 1975 where she fulfilled her dream of owning a hobby farm. She retired from the military in 1976. Marg loved listening to the music of Daniel O’Donnell, Vera Lynn and Rod Stewart as it enabled her to revisit the most joyous times in her life: flying around the world as a valued member of the R.C.A.F flight crew, tapping into her Irish/Danish roots and sharing in the camaraderie of her many friends. Marg was an incredibly kind and caring person devoted to family and friends. She was loved and respected by all those who knew her. Predeceased by her parents Peter and Anne Theilade, Marg is lovingly remembered by her brothers and sisters, Bill Theilade, Earl Theilade, Heather Turner, Sheilah Stack (Jerry), Nini Dell (Don), and Shannon Hack (Jack). She will be sadly missed by her many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. We love you, Marg, and you will be forever in our hearts. Thank you for being the person you were: a devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend. With love to you from the bottom of our hearts. From all your family and those who had the good fortune to know you. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 26, at 1:30 pm at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave, Chilliwack, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to SPCA or to a charity of your choice.

VAUGHAN Karen (Ann Marie)

placing an

Mar. 6, 1954 – Nov. 14, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, sister and best friend, Karen Vaughan. Karen is pre-deceased by her sister Sharon, father William and mother Evelyn. She is survived by her sons: Thomas and Kristopher, Daughter in law Carly, grandchildren: Landon, Carter and Lilah, best friend Terri and her many loving and devoted brothers and sisters: Billy, Doug, Pam, Pat, Janice, Donna, Lynn. Karen worked almost ten years at Value Village and spent most of her time unconsciously brightening everyone’s day with her hugs, advice and antics. Karen always had time for everyone and any extra time that wasn’t being used to make those around her smile was spent talking to her grandbabies and watching her Canucks. A service will be held in Sardis at 5725 Tyson Rd. (beside Twin Rinks) on Saturday, November 19th from 11am-2pm.
