Guards protest B.C. prison conditions

■ T HIRTY - FOUR Y EARS

E DUCATION

Overcrowding poses risk, says criminology professor Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. needs 150 more provincial prison guards to protect against a rising number of assaults in crowded jails with many more mentally ill inmates, according to a report commissioned by their union. The B.C. Government Employees Union hired Simon Fraser University criminologist Neil Boyd to survey conditions in B.C. jails, where “double-bunking” since 2002 has doubled the guard to inmate ratio to 40 to one. At North Fraser Pretrial in Port Coquitlam, where Neil Boyd prisoners await trial, the ratio is 60 inmates per guard. Boyd said so far this year there have been 29 reports of assaults on North Fraser guards, and there have also been sharp increases in assaults at other secure facilities around the province. According to the survey of 200 guards at B.C. facilities this spring and summer, in the past year two thirds received a credible threat of harm from an inmate. Almost 40 per cent had been hit by feces, urine, vomit or spit, and more than one in four had been physically assaulted by an inmate. Boyd said the majority of prison violence is between inmates. But with more gangaffiliated inmates in B.C. and about one in four having a mental disorder, guards are increasingly in danger themselves as they break up fights or respond to serious injuries, suicides and homicides. Dean Purdy, a union official and supervisor at Vancouver Island Correctional Centre, said there have been 83 assaults on guards since the facility was doublebunked in 2003.

DPAC vice-president steps down Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack’s most vocal parent advocate is backing away from the school district. After losing her bid for school trustee, Kirsten Brandreth resigned as vice president of the Chilliwack District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) this week. Brandreth was disappointed with the election outcome and felt her time in the district had come to an end. “I just cannot sit there for

another three years and watch ineffective trustees,” said Brandreth. With five incumbent trustees re-elected, one former trustee elected, and one newcomer, Brandreth doesn’t hold hope for change. “I thought we were ready for a change, and I knew I was ready for a new challenge,” she said. “But the people thought otherwise.” Brandreth earned 1,705 votes, and came in 10th out of 24 candidates. “I have been so heavily

involved and have dedicated so many of my own personal hours to this district, and for what, no change basically,” she said. For more than 16 years, Brandreth, a mother of two, has been supporting public education. She’s volunteered in several capacities at schools, has sat on numerous committees, was an active member on Promontory elementary’s PAC for six years, before advancing to DPAC, where she sat for the past nine years – four of which were as president. For more than four years,

she has rarely missed a board meeting, and rarely did she stay silent at those board meetings. She gave trustees and district staff praise where she felt it was due, but also did not shy away from voicing concerns. Brandreth came under fire last year after opposing a move by the board to rename winter vacation on all district documents to Christmas holidays. She said it was insensitive to students in the district who didn’t practice Christianity.

Tories puts citizens rights ahead of criminals: Strahl But BC Civil Liberties sees the danger of ‘vigilantism’ in new bill Robert Freeman The Progress A proposed bill that would expand the power of citizens to defend their property and arrest criminals shows the Tory government is putting victims rights ahead of the rights of criminals, says Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl. But the BC Civil Liberties Association fears the proposed criminal code changes could put more power in the hands of private security guards, which is “an invitation to vigilantism,” BCCLA president Robert Holmes said in a news release.

Strahl disagreed, saying the idea of empowering private security officers as a “parallel police force” is not the intent of Bill C-26, the Citizen’s Arrest and Self-Defence Act. “It’s for situations where people are threatened and take an immediate response, if a peace officer is not available,” he said. “It’s not going to encourage vigilantism. This is about ensuring the justice system is on the side of law-abiding citizens.” Micheal Vonn, BCCLA policy director, said the problem with the legislation lies in the phrase allowing a citizen to make an arrest

“within a reasonable amount of time.” She said citizens making an arrest after the fact of an alleged crime not only put themselves in physical danger, but legal danger as well. It takes police officers years of training to learn the limits of their powers of arrest, she said, “and yet they’re contested all the time.” “This is something the ordinary citizen is not in a position to know,” she said, and they could find themselves facing a wrongful arrest charge. And if citizens can make an arrest “within a reasonable time,” she added, why is that not enough time to call 9-1-1? But Strahl said the legislation clearly states that an “imminent threat” must be present and a

police officer not available before a citizen can take action. “Certainly it’s not for an individual to make their own determination whether a person should be arrested,” he said. Vonn said the legislation follows the “very emotional” case of a Toronto shopkeeper who was charged after arresting a thief who had returned to the shop an hour after an earlier grab-and-run. One day before the incident, the shopkeeper had waited five hours for police to respond to his call about a theft. The shopkeeper was found not guilty. Holmes said the solution is to hire more trained police officers, not to give arrest powers to citizens and private security companies that are not regulated or over-

seen in the same way as police. “The idea that you could call Bob’s 9-1-1 Service and have someone forcibly arrest and detain another person is an invitation to vigilantism,” he said. “We call for this bill to be amended to close that gap immediately.” Strahl said the changes are meant to simplify complex criminal code provisions around “self defence” and “defence of property” to make it easier for police, prosecutors and courts “to acknowledge an individual was within their rights to protect themselves or their property.” “Under this bill, Canadians will know that the criminal justice system will stand behind them should they need to protect themselves against criminal acts,” he said. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Changes to B.C.’s family law lauded Knife-wielding man robs 7-Eleven

The new Family Law Act is aimed at modernizing 30-year-old legislation

A knife-wielding man robbed the 7-Eleven store on Vedder Road early Wednesday morning. Police said the lone suspect entered the store at about 5 a.m., pulled a knife and demanded money and a variety of store items. The suspect was last seen leaving the area on foot toward Storey Avenue. The suspect was described as 5’11” to 6 feet tall wearing a light-grey jacket and light-grey track pants. He also had an olive-coloured backpack and was wearing black running shoes. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Sweeping changes to modernize family law were introduced recently by the provincial government, and some of the feedback has been quite positive. “These legislative changes will probably impact more people in B.C. than some we normally make as a government,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner. “Over time that means a big chunk of the population will be guided by this legislation.” He was referring to the estimate that “almost half” of all marriages will end in divorce, and that the fastest growing type of relationship is a common law one, even if they don’t tend to last as long. The new Family Law Act replaces older legislation dating back to 1978, reflects the modern-day circumstances, and outlining parental responsibilities. It updates the way common-law couples will divide their assets, offers greater protection for children and urges solutions involving alternatives to litigation. Common-law couples will now be covered under the divisions of assets provisions, and they’re limiting what is divisible after relationship

breakdown. If the value of a residential property goes up, one purchased prior to the relationship by a partner for example, the couple would then split the net increase in value, but not the overall value. “So it’s a significant change,” Penner said. Discussion and debate on the new Family Law Act is also being followed closely by Bobbi Jacob, executive director of Ann Davis Transition Society. Protection orders could be taken more seriously now by law enforcement, including restraining orders, or no-contact orders. “The criminalizing of violence in relationships gets

a much stronger emphasis under the new legislation,” she said. The new law pledges to put the “best interests” of children first above all other considerations when looking at custody and access issues. “Everyone thinks they know what is in the best interests of a child, but how do we determine that in every case?” she asked. Kids can end up in an “awkward” position when they’re asked what they want to do in a custody case. “It’s often difficult enough when a relationship goes sideways,” Jacob said. “But when there are children involved, it’s even harder and there is an awful lot of emotion. So

when you get a high-conflict situation, with violence and abuse where one party is controlled by the other, can we really hear those voices, and those of children? I hope that they’ll be very careful on that one.” Jacob said “directing people toward mediation and arbitration” rather than automatically heading to court, “should be a better way to go.” For ADTS specifically, the local families they help tend to be “high conflict” and ones for whom mediation “does not work that well,” she cautioned.

to identify the suspect based on a surveillance video from the credit union. James Turnbull, 41, of Chilliwack, was arrested and remanded in court until Dec. 5. The Prospera Credit Union located at 45820 Wellington Ave. has been a frequent robbery target. It was robbed earlier this year in September, again in December 2010 and three times in November 2008 when it was one of a string of five credit unions robbed in the Fraser Valley. Three suspects were eventually arrested by police. One suspect, a Chilliwack man, was charged with three robberies and is scheduled for trial in April next year.

Police said a male entered the bank at about 1:30 p.m. and passed a note to the teller demanding money. The suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money, but RCMP officers were able

Homeless ushered in to extreme weather beds Jeff Nagel Black Press Extreme weather shelter beds opened for homeless people across Metro Vancouver last weekend in response to the season’s first blast of frigid winter conditions. Chilliwack is not part of that Cold Weather program funded by the B.C. government, but there was no need to open extra spaces here, said Ian Pratt, the Salvation Army’s community ministries director in Chilliwack. The Chilliwack shelter has 14 beds, but Pratt said to his knowledge no one has ever been turned away. If more people come for shelter than beds available, he said, cots would be supplied by the fire department, and if that isn’t enough, more spaces would be opened elsewhere in the community. “We still take them in,” he said.

“We do whatever needs to be done.” But no extra spaces were needed in Chilliwack because of last week’s cold snap. “The word’s out there that we’re available (for shelter),” Pratt said. In the Vancouver area, support agencies said the temporary opening for up to four days of 340 beds at 15 sites will be repeated or expanded as necessary. “We’ll reopen as needed through the winter,” said James Pratt, the extreme weather response coordinator for Metro Vancouver. “Our objective is to make sure nobody is turned away for lack for space this winter.” Local cities activate extreme weather response plans and shelter sites open extra spaces when weather is considered severe enough to pose a substantial threat to the health and safety of street homeless.

Up to 635 additional spaces can be opened – typically mats and blankets on a floor in a church, community centre or other shelter site. Vancouver has the most extreme spaces, but there are also 140 in Surrey, 98 in Abbotsford, 60 in Burnaby, 50 in New Westminster, 30 in Langley and 22 in Richmond. Pratt said there was “reasonable uptake” in the initial extreme weather opening of the season. “We’re grateful for all the people on the front lines who spread the word to people on the street or in the bushes so they can come in and have a warm place to sleep.” The Tri Cities was the only area where extreme beds didn’t open, he said, because a 30-bed cold wet weather program open throughout the winter there still has plenty of space. There are also 30 seasonal cold wet weather beds now open in

Maple Ridge and 44 in Vancouver, for a total of just over 100 across the region. That’s down this year because 160 seasonal beds were eliminated in Vancouver, as a result of the opening of more supportive housing for the homeless in that city. Although some advocates have protested the decrease, the provincial government says it’s more cost-effective to fund permanent housing than funding winter beds. The seasonal and extreme beds are separate from the more than 1,409 year-round permanent spaces for the homeless across Metro Vancouver. There are more than 1,100 yearround spaces in Vancouver, 117 in Surrey, 53 in New Westminster, 49 on the North Shore, 30 each in Maple Ridge and the Tri Cities, as well as 10 in Richmond. The province contributes more than $20 million a year to run

them. The government has also invested more than $150 million converting old skid row hotels to affordable housing and other supportive housing projects to provide hundreds of new units to house the homeless. Pratt urged people interested in supporting the homeless to help local shelters through donations of cash and warm clothing. For a list of shelters in each city, see the Greater Vancouver Shelter Strategy website at http://www. gvss.ca. More than 2,600 people were counted as homeless across Metro Vancouver earlier this year, more than half of them in shelters. The regional homeless count found the number of unsheltered street homeless was way down from three years ago – shift credited to the province’s housing strategy. ~ With files from Robert Freeman

Warming up to African relief Katie Bartel The Progress A group of students are sure they’ve hit the jackpot with a coffee and banana bread fundraiser. On Dec. 2, before school starts, Chilliwack secondary school’s African Relief Club will be manning a drive thru in the school’s parking lot selling coffee and banana bread – all in the name of African relief. “We know it’s impossible to change the world in such a short period of time, but we want to at least try and make a difference, whether it’s for one person, a small group of people, or a lot of people,” said Grade 12 student Shannon Hames. And who wouldn’t enjoy a sweet slice of banana bread and a hot cup of joe chaser for breakfast? That’s exactly what students in the African Relief Club thought. This year the club has attract-

ed more than 30 members, the most since it first started up at CSS seven years ago. The club’s mandate is to raise awareness and funds for the underprivileged in Africa, primarily orphaned children in Uganda, South Africa and Nigeria. Over the years, the work of the club has spread by word-ofmouth, presentations, and videos. Gradually, more and more students wanted to get involved. “Once you know, you have to do something – it’s impossible not to do anything,” said Hames. “Everyone in our school is aware of what this club is about and I think this year a lot more of us really just wanted to get involved.” Which has helped in generating unique fundraising ideas. This year, students in the African Relief Club are looking at organizing a fundraising barbecue, pie auction, bake sale, mud

volleyball tournament, and have even mulled around the idea of a tomato festival similar to that of La Tomatina in Valencia Spain. But first up, the banana bread and coffee - a breakfast of champions - fundraiser. The banana bread is being donated by Barbara Giraud, a renowned banana bread baker, and the coffee is being supplied by Decades. Both will be served on Friday, Dec. 2 in the parking lot of CSS from 7:30 a.m. to 8:25 a.m. out of a mobile container supplied by Loewen Mobile Mini Storage. Students will also be serving during the morning break from 9:45 a.m. to 10 a.m. and over the lunch hour from 11:20 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information, visit the African Relief Club’s Facebook page under CSS African Relief. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Soft Lift QUESTION: Is it true you can achieve a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural? - Jane, Aldergrove

ANSWER: As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging. In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table. With the Soft Lift we combine the smoothing effect of Botox with the filling effect of Juvederm fillers. The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done in just one treatment!

A new way to keep in touch with your U This new monthly feature in The Chilliwack Progress aims to highlight UFV programs, students, community partnerships, donors, and activities. We hope you enjoy keeping up with your university.

A Heavy Duty transformation Bus donation brings real world to UFV shop

hanks to a generous donation, UFV trades students are getting some hands-on experience that will prepare them for the real-world work environment. In June, Translink presented UFV’s Heavy Duty and Commercial Transport (HD/CT) program with a 24-passenger bus. Partnering with students from the Automotive Collision Repair and Refinishing program, the students have worked for six weeks to redesign the 2005 GM/ Eldorado. “It’s been a great learning aid,” said Heavy Duty instructor Jamie Ubell, adding that it’s the newest vehicle to the program, giving students the chance to work with recent technology.

The process started in September, when the HD/CT students removed the trim and wheels to get the bus ready for painting. The Auto Collision Repair and Refinish students then sanded off the old Translink colours and masked the vehicle with tape to paint the vehicle in UFV colours, with the bottom half green and the top half white. After returning the van to the body shop, the Heavy Duty students installed the trim, lights, wheel bearings, braakes, aluminum wheels, and tires. To finish it off, a contractor added the UFV logo, transforming the bus into a travelling advertisement for UFV. For the remainder of the 36-week program, the HD/CT students will be carrying

out diagnostic work and repair on the vehicle, which has transmission controls, an electric engine, and fourwheel anti-lock disk brakes. The van will also be used for HD/CT field trips, which Ubell considers a necessary part of the training program as they allow students to “expand their awareness of options in the commercial transport and heavy duty trades.” Throughout the year, students in the Heavy Duty program work on everything from highway trucks to agriculture equipment. Most of the equipment is donated by local companies, while some is bought by the university. Donations vary, and include pieces like engines,

transmissions, hydraulic equipment, gear boxes, trucks and agriculture equipment. “Without the donations, it’s challenging to train the students on new technology. All donations, regardless of their size, value or technology are appreciated,” said Ubell. While the benefit of working on such equipment is immediate for students, it’s also long-term. “It’s a sense of pride that you’ve accomplished something,” said 17-year-old Connor Wood, of working on the Translink bus. “Being exposed to newer technology exposes you to how it works. Now I can take that knowledge on to other projects.”

Bate gives to honour parents The UFV roots go deep for Scott Bate of the Mertin Auto Group. He grew up with Fraser Valley College. Scott’s parents, Dick and Barbara Bate, both had long careers with what’s now known as UFV. When Dick retired in 2000, UFV created a Dick Bate Endowment Scholarship. Recently, Scott looked at the amount the endowment is able to provide every year and decided he would like to see the scholarship amount increased to at least $1,000. He then called the UFV Development Ofﬁce and offered to donate $15,000 to increase the scholarship’s endowment. UFV is renaming the scholarship the Dick and Barbara Bate Scholarship to recognize Barbara’s contribution to the development of UFV along with Dick’s.

Fraser Valley Regional gravel plan may fail, says industry official Robert Freeman The Progress The controversial pilot project to plan gravel mining locations in the Fraser Valley Regional District appears to be on the brink of failure. In a letter to the FVRD board, the Aggregate Producers Association of B.C. asked for a meeting of the committee that put together the Aggregate Pilot Project (APP) “at the earliest possible time.” “The conclusion of the project must be imminent or it stands a chance of failing,” APABC president Bob Esau says in the letter. He goes on to say that the failure “seems to be a result of infiltration of special interest groups into the committee format.” “What started out as a tri-partite arrangement has now developed into a political football that the APABC board members cannot understand,” Esau wrote. “Again, this seems to be a result of the special interest groups who have tried to stall or stop the project,” he said. At Tuesday’s FVRD board meeting, Walter Neufeld, president of the Fraser Valley Citizens

Association, said if Esau is depicting the public as a “special interest group” that tried to “infiltrate” the APP committee “we find that very offensive.” “Is that also the (FVRD) board’s view?” he asked. Patricia Ross, FVRD chair, replied the board took “no position” on the letter, which it had just received. The APP committee, comprised of three FVRD directors, three from the B.C. gravel industry and three from the B.C. government, negotiated for five years before finally signing a memorandum of agreement in November, 2009. But the plan was immediately criticized because it was negotiated “behind closed doors” and there was no public representative on the committee. FVRD directors on the committee argued that they represented the public. The APP proposed a threecolour approach to mapping areas where gravel mining would be allowed. No mining would be allowed in red areas, mining would be allowed under certain conditions in yellow areas and mining would be approved in

green areas. To date, no community has approved the APP. Currently, the regional district has no input into the location of gravel mines, which is solely in the hands of the B.C. mines inspector. Electoral area directors Wendy Bales and Dennis Adamson are strongly opposed to the APP and have repeatedly asked for a new committee that includes public. But other directors have argued such a move could result in the gravel industry pulling out of the current MOU in frustration. A motion to support a request by the FVCA for a seat on the APP committee was defeated by a majority of electoral area directors in March. Esau said in the letter that the “special interests of some of your area directors and a few of their constituents, appears to be aimed at sterilizing this committee.” “Almost nine years and the processes are not yet completed,” he said. “This should not be acceptable to any of the parties involved, don’t you agree?”

Democracy at work The ballots have been counted, the results digested and analyzed. The more conscientious candidates spent their Sunday removing lawn signs. On Monday, the victorious candidates awoke with new challenges ahead of them, while their challengers licked their wounds, went back to their pre-election lives and routines. On Chilliwack city council, two new faces join an administration led by Mayor Sharon Gaetz, who went unchallenged this year. On school board, Barry Neufeld returns after a one-term absence, making Walt Krahn the only truly new face. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Given this apparent satisfaction with the status quo, some might ask why bother? Especially when fewer than two of every 10 of those people bothered to cast a ballot. Heck, even some of the candidates might be asking themselves that question. Running for municipal office can be a thankless quest, exacting a toll in time and on the pocketbook. All for the reward of evenings and afternoons filled with meetings and committees, obligations on weekends to attend community events, business openings. But it’s for that very selflessness that we owe all the candidates our thanks. Their willingness to put their names and reputations forward, to open themselves to the scrutiny of their rivals, their neighbours and the media is the very essence of democracy. Their voices are vital to moving our communities forward, even when the voters indicate they’re quite happy to stand pat. Debate is the check and balance in our democratic system. By fostering debate through the course of an election campaign, candidates give their communities a chance to assess their direction, listen to concerns, respond to questions. And for that, we thank all the candidates for a job well done. ~ Black Press

Chilly climate for British Columbia’s carbon plan VICTORIA – B.C.’s carbon emission trading plan died last week at the age of four. No service was announced. The end came as the B.C. capital hosted politicians from neighbouring U.S. states and western provinces for their annual economic conference. Washington, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico followed through with plans to withdraw from the Western Climate Initiative, leaving California, B.C., and theoretically Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec to come up with a trading system to put further costs on greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel kingpins Alberta and Saskatchewan wanted nothing to do with the WCI from the beginning, when it set a goal of 15-percent reduction in emissions by 2020. This leaves B.C. as the only jurisdiction in North America with a carbon tax, and an emission reduc-

tion target twice as ambitious – 33 per cent by 2020. Because of that tax, all B.C.’s border states and provinces have an economic advantage for emitting industries. And with natural gas development booming and population growing, B.C.’s emissions continue upward. Industry representatives gave the legislature finance committee the Tom view from ground FLETCHER level. Take farming. “None of our competitors have a carbon tax,” Garnet Etsell of the B.C. Agriculture Council told the committee’s Chilliwack hearing. “This has cost us, to date, with the last increase, $45 million a year. With the increase that’s anticipated in 2012, that’ll be $65 million. Keep

in mind that the agriculture industry last year had a cumulative net loss of $80 million.” B.C.’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters are the petroleum and cement manufacturing industries. They only pay the tax on fuel while significant process emissions are tax-exempt. But even that is stimulating demand for cement imported from outside B.C., This not only hurts domestic producers, it adds emissions via trucking or rail shipping. Then there is B.C.’s “carbon neutral public sector,” where provincial and local governments are forced to buy carbon offsets. The Pacific Carbon Trust then funds emission-reduction projects for big emitters such as gas plants in the northeast. So five years on, that’s the upshot of Gordon Campbell’s lofty goal to lead the world in climate action. We’re hurting our own agriculture and manufactur-

ing, and transferring scarce funds from hospitals, senior care homes and schools to subsidize profitable energy corporations. And emissions are still rising. It’s no wonder the finance committee has recommended major changes to Finance Minister Kevin Falcon. He should cap the carbon tax at the 2012 rate. He should “address the inequity for B.C. cement producers,” and also “consider immediate carbon tax exclusions for agriculture, including the greenhouse sector, and public institutions.” Falcon allowed last week that B.C.’s competitive position must be considered, now that U.S. President Barack Obama has reversed himself on the need for an emission trading system that would have levelled the North American playing field. Look for changes when Falcon tables his first budget in February. Does this mean B.C.’s climate

strategy is dead? No. Delegates from U.S. states and Alberta gathered in front of the legislature to kick the tires on B.C.’s newest weapon, natural gas-powered vehicles. Garbage trucks, school buses and milk truck fleets have switched from diesel to natural gas, and thanks to its abundance and low price, they’re saving 50 per cent on fuel bills. The trucks and buses eliminate particulate pollution and reduce carbon emissions by 30 per cent compared to gasoline or diesel. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says natural gas is being considered for BC Ferries, the largest public-sector emissions source of all, which is exempt from the carbon neutrality rule.

Walk draws strong support Last Saturday’s Walk for Peace was a powerful symbolic beginning to a long-term, ongoing effort to help one of our aboriginal communities reclaim its freedom from drugs, gangs and violence. It was easy to see the many supportive community individuals who marched down Wellington, including the Mayor and the RCMP. It is also important to make mention and to thank those organizations and agencies that with their support made this event possible. They include the City of Chilliwack staff which included

the Mayor and council, engineering dept., Communication dept. and all the staff that supported the cause including the front desk clerk. Other contributors include, Sto:Lo Nation, Fraser Health Authority, CAPS, PCRS, Hub-Barton Insurance, A&D Flagging, Wal-Mart, Ann Davis, Salvation Army, UFV, Career Tracks Grimestoppers, Stream Global Services, Booster Juice, Coast Chilliwack Hotel, and several local reserves as well as all the local news media. Starbucks graciously provided free coffee to shivering participants.

The City of Chilliwack and RCMP are very supportive of the Skwah community, as is my agency, Triangle Community Resources inc. and a number of others that are prepared to enhance the community in which we live by working collaboratively to reduce the amount of suffering that is caused by crime and the use of drugs and alcohol in our community both on and off reserve. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Austin Underwood

School system fails special needs kids

Candidate hopeful stay active

At the last Chilliwack Board of Education meeting, the superintendent presented the most recent graduation statistics. He was pleased to report that the Chilliwack School District had shown improvement in its graduation rates. One part of our student population that continues to have extremely poor graduation rates are our special needs students. The school district receives significant additional funding from the Ministry of Education to support the achievement of these vulnerable students, yet the system is failing them. Sadly, the poor graduation rates only tell part of the

I don’t know Ron Browne personally. It was during this civic election that I first became aware of him. But I would like to encourage him to run again in the next city election. After having considered his credentials and accomplishments, I was most impressed. We need people like this man in our local government. I have chatted with others who know him and they speak well of him. So, I am disappointed that he did not get in this time. But, Ron, if you’re willing, please keep your name before the public and run for council once again.

story. Many of our special needs students have limited opportunities to develop the necessary life skills to transition into productive adults and end up leaving school with a bleak future in front of them. The “system” might call them the “push-throughs”. The problem is that the curriculum is not designed to fit the needs of our special needs students. This situation needs to change and change quickly. If we can not protect the interests of the most vulnerable students in our education system, how can we protect the interests of all students? Don Davis Parent of two students with autism

Smoking is just not worth the risk I may be 15 years of age, but I know smoking is a big thing. It affects everyone, whether that is your parents, your friends, teachers, neighbors; anyone you have met in your life has been affected by smoking in some way either directly or by second hand. It’s highly addictive and has been proven to be a 20.8 per

cent risk factor in heart disease which is the number one cause of death. It has been my observation of my peers that starting this habit comes from curiosity and peer pressure or trying to fit in with the “cool” crowd. Students with ADD or ADHD seem to lean towards smoking as it can have

a calming effect which helps them deal with the pressures of high school. It seems even with the warnings printed on the packaging, a higher risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema is still in not enough of a deterrent. Unfortunately some high school students believe that the risks of

smoking do not apply to them because they have a sense of feeling invincible. This belief also attributes to students trying stronger drugs. My advice: save yourself the grief of trying to quit smoking by not giving into the temptations to begin with. Brandon Alton

Brandreth also laid into trustees following the last meeting before summer holidays in 2010, chastising them for their “disrespectful” and “embarrassing” behaviour towards one another. “I’m the kind of person who will speak up where others don’t,” said Brandreth. “I have no problem asking tough questions, and I have no problem listening to the other side of the story.” Her voice has been heard at the school, district and provincial levels. Her goal with DPAC was to increase communication within the district, and to get more parents standing up for their children.

“I will continue to work to help Chilliwack prosper and grow.” — Stewart McLean

It hasn’t been easy. Active membership on DPAC has consistently been low. The monthly meetings generally have representation from just a handful of schools. And as such, most advocacy falls on the shoulders of the DPAC president. With 30 schools in the district, and more than 12,000 students, it could be overwhelming at times, said Brandreth. “It would be great to have 10 DPAC executive members going to various meetings so that it’s not all going to be on the president’s shoulders,” she said. “There should be more parent representation; we all bring different visions to the table.” Brandreth also wants trustees to get more involved with

parents. “I really hope this next set of trustees have a better relationship with parent advisory councils and parents,” she said. “They have to get away from just attending social functions and get into being a part of the parent advisory councils – they need to know more about the schools.” Brandreth is walking away from DPAC with mixed emotions. “DPAC and parent advisory council has been my baby for 15 years,” she said. “And I will always be there to provide information and help out if needed. But now, it’s time for other parents to get more involved.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

With the passage of the Teachers’ Act and the transition of the BC College of Teachers to the new Teacher Regulation Branch of the Ministry of Education, there are some changes that may require you to take urgent action.

Non-practising certificate holders who have not paid the $120 practising fee or $60 top-up fee to the College by January 6, 2012 will lose their certificates under legislation upon the College’s transition to the new Teacher Regulation Branch in early January. After January 6, former BC College of Teachers members who held these certificates would be required to reapply for new certificates under the requirements in place at the time of application.

nificant changes have come to the fore “to alter the original vision of the plan, with respect to increased environmental, geotechnical, and servicing requirements/costs, and the introduction of new hillside development guidelines in 2008,” according to city officials. The plan is available in video format as well as a PDF document online at www.chilliwack.com

News

An end to anonymous commenting online For the last few years, as theprogress.com has garnered more attention, some readers have raised concerns about one issue in particular – the fact we allow visitors to post anonymous comments. The policy has led to some unpleasant and meanspirited postings. It’s also raised an inconsistency in our family of publications. The Black Press community newspapers do not print anonymous letters, yet we’ve allowed our websites to become a place where people can hide their identity while occasionally taking shots at one another. Starting Dec. 1, that policy will change. People will only be able to comment by using their Facebook account, which means their name, often even their photograph, will be linked to the statements they post. Our website is not alone in making this shift. Several media companies, equally troubled by the vitriolic trend of anonymous comments, are turning to Facebook to power their website commenting. This new approach won’t be perfect. People without a Facebook account won’t be able to participate in online discussions. Still, we’re enthused to be in the vanguard of this movement. It shows we’re listening to our readers and responding. For those of you who choose not to create a Facebook account, remember we will continue to run letters to the editor in print – you can email them directly to editor@theprogress.com. So please continue to be a part of the discussion. Your comments are part of an important dialogue.

The long-awaited Agricultural Area Plan is ready for public consideration and review, say city officials. The draft plan was put together by the Chilliwack Agricultural Commission with input from a range of stakeholders. It offers a community vision for agriculture and tackles key issues like how to ensure sustainability moving forward. Part of the challenge is raising the public profile of the issues, such as the economic value of the agriculture industry to the community, which accounts for 30 per cent of the economy and 65 per cent of the land base in Chilliwack. Coun. Pat Clark said in council chambers that she was impressed by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;clear strategiesâ&#x20AC;? mapped out in the plan and thanked the group of people who drafted it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A big word of thanks,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an extremely comprehensive document. You havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed a thing.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Chuck Stam also thanked the plan committee, for â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing the heavy liftingâ&#x20AC;? on the plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did not avoid the tough issues,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said the local farming community added â&#x20AC;&#x153;valueâ&#x20AC;? to the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reached everyone and we want to offer the community an opportunity to give their input.â&#x20AC;? Two open house events are scheduled to collect feedback on the Chilliwack Agriculture Area Plan, on Dec. 5 at Twin Rinks, and on Dec. 8 at Evergreen hall, with both running 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The plan can be downloaded in PDF form at: http://www.chilliwack. com/main/page.cfm?id=1979 jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

A fire apparently ignited by a nearby fish smoker damaged a house on Upper Prairie Road early Wednesday morning. The cause of the fire appeared to be related to the fish smoker located too close to a wood pallet, Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fish smoker and firewood were destroyed, but there was minimal damage to

the house exterior,â&#x20AC;? he said. Two adults in the house were not injured. Firefighters responded to the 3:59 a.m. fire call in the 8400-block Upper Prairie Road to find a large fire in a detached, exterior firewood storage area. The fire was starting to move toward the single-family house located about three metres away.

Firefighters were able to control the fire and save the house, but had to run a long length of fire hose down the road as a bridge was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not suitable for fire apparatus weights,â&#x20AC;? Josephson said. The fire department is reminding the public to keep all combustibles at least one metre away from cooking and heating appliances.

Messiah will be presented by Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus on Saturday Nov. 26 at the First Avenue Christian Assembly.

Its debut was in Dublin, Ireland on 13 April 1742, and received its London premiere nearly

Kidman stars in next Hospice movie night It’s a special film presentation followed by a panel discussion on death and dying. The Film Series continues this week with Rabbit Hole from the Chilliwack Hospice Society at Cottonwood 4 Cinemas. The film, Rabbit Hole, starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart tells the story of a husband and wife trying to rebuild their lives after the death of their young son. “The goal of this program is to engage our community in normal conversations about death and dying,” said Coletta Holmes of CHS. “As a society, we are not only committed to our promise of ‘heartfelt support during dying and grieving,’ but also to helping individuals find a way of talking about one of life’s toughest topics.” Rabbit Hole at Cottonwood 4 Cinemas, on Thursday Nov. 24, at 6:45 p.m. A panel discussion will follow. $5. 604-795-4660.

quintet, an original work by a local young composer, and both classical and popular Christmas music that spans the centuries, from the Renaissance to modern-day. One more element ties this varied program together: music from the East and South. With the addition of an instrument of Spanish origin but best known as Hawaiian, the fretted flavours of South American and Eastern European music make their way into the program. That instrument is, of course, the ukulele, and it has been enjoying a revival worldwide as well as in Chilliwack through the Academy of Music’s new “Uke Club” classes.

Youth choir joins Winds of Christmas The Chilliwack Festival Chorus is putting the final touches on its seasonal concert, The Winds of Christmas, set to be performed Dec. 4, in the Rotary Hall of the Cultural Centre. The show features two absolute icons of Christmas music: the human voice in choir and wind instruments, jubilantly reminding listeners of the meaning of Christmas. Joining the chorus will be new Tayosei Performing Group, a kids’ choir, and the Philomusica Woodwind Quintet made up of flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn and bassoon. The Quintet will collaborate in the performance of seasonal favourites such as Vivaldi’s Gloria, Schubert’s Ave Maria, and the more contemporary, I Wonder as I Wander. The concert also boasts a world premire: a new as-yetuntitled work by one of Chilliwack’s very talented young composers, Shane Hanson. Truly an inspiring way to celebrate the holidays, audiences can look forward to a concert that includes two choirs, a woodwind

It promises to be a thoroughly upbeat seasonal concert with the Gospel of Elvis. Steve Elliott presents the 8th Annual Gospel Christmas Concert on Dec. 2 at Sardis Community Church. “A lot of people may not be aware Elvis like to sing gospel songs, but he did it with great conviction, and an ability to touch people’s hearts,” said Elliott. In fact The King’s only Grammy nominations were for his gospel songs, the local tribute artist says. “So Christmas is a perfect time for an inspirational concert like this.” Elvis never had an opportunity to perform a gospel concert, but Elliott will do just that next Friday with his Elvis Elite act. “We’ve designed a special twohour program featuring gospel but also some of Elvis’ biggest

Scene&Heard

Wesley on keeping a balance on tour Jennifer Feinberg The Progress West Coast phenom Daniel Wesley is enjoying the experience of being on tour with Canadian altrocker Matthew Good. They’re performing Thursday night at the Cultural Centre in a wicked double bill. “It’s been a lot of fun,” says Wesley over the phone from his home in Vancouver. “The tour has been great and Matt and his group are really friendly.” Wesley has been learning a lot from the experience, as he crisscrosses Canada backed by musicians Mike Cohen and Jeremy Kleynhans. He first broke onto the scene when his song, Ooo Ohh, became the most requested song of 2007 at 99.3 The Fox in Vancouver. The infectious rock-reggae single from Sing and Dance in 2007, raised the bar on his success and found Wesley playing to sold-out crowds throughout western Canada and touring across Canada with The Trews, Ill Scarlett and Dirty Heads. Several albums and concerts later, the White Rock born Wesley was asked to tour with Matt Good. He says he’s been trying to keep in shape and not indulge in too

many late nights. But it’s always a challenge to find that kind of balance on the road, he admits. Matthew Good Lights of Endangered Species Tour, with guest Daniel Wesley, Nov. 24 at the Cultural Centre, 7:30 p.m. Tickets $42.50 (plus sc). 604-391-SHOW (7469). Here a sample, online at www.theprogress.com. Here’s how the rest of the Q & A interview went between the Progress and Daniel Wesley: What is playing on your car stereo these days? To be honest we haven’t listened to anything until this past 48 hours or so. Everyone has their own iPhone for tunes. But we listened to some Billie Holiday while driving through the mountains, and the new Tom Waits. There was some Nirvana, Leonard Cohen, and My Morning Jacket. We had a bit of everything. Who was a big influence when you were young? I’m a product of the 1990s, so definitely bands like Pearl Jam. Nowadays what influences me comes from everyday life: my life, my family and friends. All my experiences shape the songs now. Continued: WESLEY/ p26

‘Tis The Season a Guild original Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

11-11H EA24

The writer and director of ‘Tis The Season are putting on a holiday-themed show to literally “save” Christmas. There’s actually a funny explanation about that and it’s connected to how the Chilliwack Players’ Guild annual Christmas show came to fruition this year. Producer Emily Hamel wrote ‘Tis The Season: A Christmas Show for the Whole Family, while her buddy, Ross Biondolillo, agreed to sit in the director’s chair. The show is a one-act play with variety show elements like skits and musical numbers. Here’s Biondolillo’s explanation for how he ended up as the director: “I was acting in the Guild’s production of Sabrina last year when the topic of this year’s Christmas show came up. They held a vote.” Surprisingly the idea to do a Christmas Carol got turned down. “I guess because everyone else was doing it,” says Biondolillo. “So Emily turns to me and says, ‘There’s not going to be a Christmas show unless you direct it.’ “I say to her, ‘Ok. Absolutely. I will do this.’ “So in a sense, Emily and I are really doing this to save Christmas.” Hilarious! ‘Tis the Season has it all: a riveting story, skits, jokes, and of course, holiday music. The central thread has a group of strangers bound for Edmonton who get trapped in the Chilliwack

Airport on Christmas Eve. “The story centres around two tightly knit family units who get to know each other as the night wears on,” says producer and writer of the show, Emily Hamel. The audience gets to meet Grams (played by Nancy Arnold), mother-in-law to widower Peter (Richard Ogilvie) and grandmother to technology obsessed Max (Cruise Hurley). Grams is the driving force behind keeping everyone in the Christmas spirit, despite their unfortunate circumstances. They meet up with Helen (Lara McQueen) and Chantelle (Jewel Hand) a single mom and her bookish daughter. As the evening wears on, new friendships — and maybe even a romance or two — blossom. “It’s a wonderful show with lots of talented people,” says the

director. Watch as some of the local landmarks take a little ribbing. “It’s really just good fun.” There are some familiar Christmas tunes in store, and some fresh seasonal songs as well, says Hamel. “From mischievous Christmas Sprites to hilarious melodrama and heart-warming performances, ‘Tis the Season offers something for every family member to enjoy.” The Guild production opens Nov. 30 with a Gala Night, featuring free pictures with Santa Clause and pre-show snacks. ‘Tis the Season, Nov. 30 to Dec. 04 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, tickets $15/$12. Some family pricing available, family or group of four is $40. Tickets at the Cultch box office at 604-391SHOW(7469).

Q&A with Daniel Wesley WESLEY from p34 Are you mostly home or touring these days? It’s been back and forth. When I’m home I want to get out on the road. When I’m on the road, I miss home. How do you stay healthy on tour? Is it possible? We all exercise. Some more than others. We definitely try to do it as much as possible. Getting enough sleep is the number one thing, especially as far as singing goes. We do have fun sometimes, but it’s about finding that balance. What was the weirdest gig ever? I played on a houseboat once. That was really weird. It was Canada Day and we had a driver that took us around Shushap Lake. We were serenading people. A few rock anthems snuck in alongside the reggaetinged party music on the latest CD. Is that a new direction? Yeah there’s a little rock, but I’ve always done a bit of rock. Only thing that’s different is it’s a little harder. I think people are liking the new album. It’s more diverse, and it’s opening up doors like playing with Matt. It keeps it interesting for me and the band. What’s the first single, Head Outta Water, really about? We all have busy lives, just trying to get ahead. We put one foot in front of the other and it’s go, go, go. Sometimes we have all have these feelings that well up inside when it’s just hard to get by. That’s keeping our heads above water. It’s pretty human.

Vaunted Vees add more offensive punch

CHIEFS versus VEES FRIDAY 7 P.M. As if it wasn’t daunting enough facing the mighty Penticton Vees in back-to-back games, the Chilliwack Chiefs must now face a new and improved Vees squad. The Interior conference front-runners added to their already fearsome offence, picking up Bryce Gervais from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks late last week. Defenceman Shane Hanna went the other way as ‘future considerations,’ completing a deal that originally sent forwards Garrett Hendrickson and Myles McCauley to Salmon Arm. “I think it’s good for both teams,” said Vees coach and general manager Fred Harbinson. “They were kind of running on one line. I think that now you’ve got Shane Hanna, who is an up-and-coming defenceman, who will probably get a lot more minutes then he was with us. Hendrickson is the same kind of situation. He is a skilled forward and we have a lot of guys up front. McCauley scored 13 goals (in 23 games) in this league last year.” In Gervais, who had 16 goals and 27 points in 20 games, the Vees feel they get a player who will work hard every shift, kill penalties and work the power play. “Hopefully the guys we moved over there don’t hurt us when we

play them, and I’m sure they are thinking the same when Bryce goes against them,” he said. The Chiefs know Gervais well enough. He had two goals and was named the second star in a 4-3 overtime win for Chilliwack Nov. 12, prompting Chiefs forward Trevor Hills to acknowledge his skill in a post-game interview. “That Gervais kid, he really makes plays out there,” Hills said. “He’s a good player for them.” Gervais made his Penticton debut last weekend, making a very good first impression. He helped the Vees down the Merritt Centennials 4-1, scoring twice and adding an assist. The next day in Trail against the Smoke Eaters, Gervais tallied another two goals in an 8-5 Vees win. That’s six wins in a row for the Vees who remain ranked No. 3 in Canada. The first period against the Centennials was a teaser of what Gervais could do. He engaged himself physically (check the video at www.pentictonwesternnews.com) and went to the front of the net, which nearly resulted in a goal. “He is an unbelievable team guy,” said Harbinson. “I can tell already just in the couple days that we have had him. When he has an open chance to shoot for himself for the hat trick in a 3-1 game and instead he passes it off to (Joey) Benik, to me that just says he puts the team in front of himself. That’s why we went out and got him.” As shocked as Gervais was to get traded from Salmon Arm, he said he couldn’t have asked for a better team to come to. “This team has crazy

Mike Berry (left) and the Chilliwack Chiefs have developed a knack for upsetting the BCHL’s big dogs, taking one from Penticton and three from Vernon over the first two months of the season. They face the vaunted Vees in a home-and-home this weekend, with Friday night’s game at Prospera Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

skill,” he said. “They can play defence, too, so hopefully we can go a long way this year.” The addition of Gervais appears to be a very early Christmas present, and captain Logan Johnston also makes his regular season debut this weekend, coming off a lengthy suspension for a preseason hit. Though it’s been nearly two months, the Chiefs will be expecting a Penticton team out for revenge. In Chilliwack’s home opener on Sept. 24, the visiting Vees turned in a flat effort and fell 7-1 at Prospera Centre. Penticton’s only lost four games since (two

in overtime), and their overall record of 18-30-2 has them running away in the Interior conference standings. Penticton has scored 123 goals this season, 19 more than the next highest scoring team (Victoria, 104). The Vees have yielded 68 goals this season, making them the sixth stingiest team in the 16-team circuit. Penticton’s power play is lethal, clicking at 32.61 per cent. At 81.42 per cent, their penalty kill is middle of the pack, ranking seventh overall. Get more info at www.bchl.ca and check Tuesday’s Progress for a weekend wrapup.

BCHL unveiling all-time team Fan voting for the BCHL’s all-time team wrapped up this morning, and the results will be announced during 50th anniversary festivities this weekend. Several Chilliwack players were in the mix, starting with 1970’s star defenceman Ron Greschner, who played for the original junior A Bruins. Forward Vern Quaroni and defenceman Butch Dupont were also on the 1970’s ballot. Chilliwack landed five players on the 1990’s list, including current assistant coach Doug Ast. The others, all of whom played for the Chiefs, included Jason Krog, Joey Potskin, Travis Banga and Shawn Horcoff.

The 2000’s ballot included just one Chief, forward Jeff Tambellini. BCHL teams have arranged an array of ticket deals, alumni appearances and giveaways to celebrate a half-century of hockey. “Our team marketers and sales people have come up with some great ideas to promote their teams and the history of their franchises and league,” said BCHL communications director Brent Mutis. “I’m impressed with the initiative shown by our teams and hope fans get on board with festivities too.” A 50th season commemorative edition of the Smart Hockey magazine will be available at BCHL rinks this weekend, along with souvenir t-shirts.

Sports Blessing dealt to Wolves The Chilliwack Chiefs acquired 20-year-old forward Jordan Ethier from the La Ronge Ice Wolves (Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League) Wednesday in exchange for the playing rights to Chris Blessing plus future considerations. Ethier, a Quebec product, has recorded eight goals and 14 assists along with 28 penalty minutes in 26 games this season. Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl says the six-foot-two and 185 pound left-shooting forward brings a combination of assets to Chilliwack. “From all reports Jordan plays with skill and determination and is responsible in his own end,” Smyl said. As for Ethier he is excited to becoming out west and will join the team in time for practice on Thurdsay. “I have heard Chilliwack is a great place to play, and I am looking forward to playing for the Chiefs,” he said.

Tall task for Chiefs The Chiefs made theirr first appearance on the CJHL rankings this week, writes Jacob Bestebroer The BCHL celebrates its 50th anniversaryy this weekend with all teams in the league facing a divisional rival in a home-and-home set beginning Friday night. The Chiefs have drawn the Penticton Vees, the team that sits atop the league standings with a record of 18-3-0-2. The series starts in with Chilliwack Friday night. The race for playoff spots in the interior conference continues to be a tight one. The Vees, averaging more than five goals per game, have an 11 point cushion over the second place Merritt Centennials (27 points) but after that only two points separate teams two through five. The Vernon Vipers, who sat alone in second place a week ago, showed just how quicklyy the standings can change when they dropped consecutive games to Chilliwack, Surrey and Langley last weekend. The Vipers are now in third with 26 points, one more than both the Chiefs and Prince George Spruce Kings. Westside’s nine game losing streak has them nine points back of the Chiefs and Spruce Kings and Chilliwack still has a minimum of one game in hand on all other teams in the conference. The Chiefs made their first appearance of the season on the Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings this week. They didn’t crack the top 20 but they did garner an honorable mention. The merits off rankings can be argued and I never take them too seriously, but it’s nice to see the Chiefs recognized. Only two BCHL teams made the top 20. Penticton is third while the Surrey Eagles came in at number 19. As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, the BCHL will be announcing the results off the BCHL All-Time Player Fan Poll, which has been running on the league’s site for the lastt number of weeks. Several players who played in Chilliwack were on the ballot including Ron Greschner, Shawn Horcoff, Joey Potskin, Jefff Tambellini and current Chiefs assistant coach Tambellini Doug Ast. Also at Friday’s game, KidSport, an organization that provides support to children in orderr to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sport will be on site selling BCHL themed T-shirts to raise moneyy for their great cause. There will also be some Chiefs signed items available for purchase and each of the first 400 L fans through the door will receive a free BCHL 50th Anniversary commemorative magazine. Lastly, fans looking to do some earlyy Christmas shopping can purchase a Chiefs x Christmas Pack which includes a six game flex pack and a Chiefs blanket for $89.50. For an extra $5 you can purchase two tickets for the Chiefs Dec. 28 home game versus the Prince George Spruce Kings. Get info at www.chilliwackchiefs.net.

MINOR FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

Chilliwack’s bantam Blue Giants opened the playoffs against a familiar opponent, the North Surrey Panthers.

All week long, head coach Jeff Samulak preached to his players that even though they had beaten the Panthers twice this season, they’d be ill-advised to take their opponent lightly. The locals listened to their coach and worked hard all week in practice, with the end result a 24-0 shutout victory. The Panthers battled hard early and were able to keep the score 0-0 going into halftime.

But the Giants offence finally woke up in the third quarter, producing four touchdowns. Josh Pretty contributed to three majors, connecting with Zach Toews on two scores and running another in from two yards out. Running back Jake Creasey also scrambled his way into the endzone. On the defense side, Darius Commodore had

a big game with several key tackles. He also produced a touchdown saving interception late in the fourth quarter to preserve the shutout. Byron Dargatz, Nashon Douglas and Thijs Duinveld also had great games. The Giants now prepare for the provincial semi-finals, hosting the Victoria Spartans Saturday at Townsend Park.

Sports Midget snipers pour in pucks against Ice The Fraser Valley Bruins scored a lot of goals, earning a win and a tie on a road trip to Castlegar. The Major Midget Hockey League squad hit the road to face the last place Kootenay Ice, starting off with an 8-1 whomping Saturday. The Bruins scored three in the first period.

Michel Holub (Mission) opened the scoring less than two minutes in. Landyn Hickmott (Mission) and Bradley King (Chilliwack) also scored first period markers. Hickmott and Holub scored again in the middle frame, with King, Matt Revel (Abbotsford) and Mitch Skapski

(Abbotsford) scoring in the third. The Ice showed a lot more in Sunday’s rematch, battling the Bruins to a 6-6 tie. King, Revel and Ryan Simpson (Abbotsford) gave the Bruins three first period tallies, but the Ice kept it close on goals by Brandon Sookro and Darren

☎

Medeiros. The teams traded second period goals, with King scoring for the Bruins and Justin Post scoring for the Ice. Kootenay had a 6-5 lead late in period three, but goals by Jake Virtanen (Abbotsford) and Skapski saved the tie for the Bruins.

He served as a member of the Chilliwack Lion’s Club and previously had been a founding member of the Sherwood Park, AB chapter. Steve’s most memorable times were spent at their log house that he helped build in the Spences Bridge area where he and Betty enjoyed their retirement years together. Many hours were spent playing his harmonicas, enjoying the tranquil scenery and watching the various wildlife that would visit. The family extends their thanks to the staff of Nursing Unit 3 of the Chilliwack Hospital for their care and kindness.
