Soprema expansion a ‘vote of confidence’ Robert Freeman The Progress A multi-million expansion of the Soprema manufacturing plant in Chilliwack was announced even as the company won the city’s top business award last week. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said the expansion is “fantastic” news for the city, in terms of new jobs and attracting new businesses. “It means more jobs for our community,” she said, which helps create aan “intact” community w where residents don’t n need to commute to Don’t D ’t ever let l t make a living. “The assumption of anyone tell you Chilliwack as a bedroom Canada can’t community is highly overrated,” she said, referring compete in to a recently-released study that manufacturing transportation shows 87 per cent of daily trips are made within the ~ Soprema Chilliwack sub-region. Soprema’s expansion director announcement “can only Paul Boileau help” the city’s business reputation, she added, and a new tax exemption b bylaw should encourage i to llocate h more companies here. Soprema director Paul Boileau said construction of the second production plant will begin in 2012 on the north-east side of the company’s current site in the Chilliwack Business Estates. “After a relatively quiet period of more than three years of industrial development, it’s hoped that this investment — a vote of confidence in Chilliwack — will echo Soprema’s beginning during the last economic downturn,” he said. In 2000, the company started operations at the business park operated by the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation - the city’s economic development arm — and it was soon shipping its waterproof roofing materials around the world.

Walk for Peace gains momentum Jennifer Feinberg The Progress They’re fed up with gangs and drug-fuelled violence. Organizers of the first ever Walk for Peace said they’ll hit the streets of downtown Chilliwack on Nov. 19. “We are symbolically taking responsibility to take back our community,” said Skwah Chief Robert Combes. “We are tired of all the activities involving drugs and gangs. “We want to stop it — or at least slow it down.” Starting from Five Corners at 11 a.m. with a few speakers addressing the crowd, the marchers will then head down Wellington Avenue to Skwah First Nation.

The goal is to do “whatever” it takes to put a stop to the entrenched problem of booze, drugs and the criminal element, the chief said. It’s created parasitic relationships and wrecked lives, but the problem is larger than one small reserve, he said. The Walk for Peace is a continuation of the annual Walk for Sobriety event, organized by Skwah First Nation members in recent years. The marchers would sometimes stop along the walk to identify sources of neighbourhood problems. “Everyone is invited to join the walk,” said Combes, which is being held on election day, Saturday, Nov. 19, to send politicians a clear

message. The date also coincides with National Addictions Awareness Week. This year City of Chilliwack was approached to broaden the scope of the Walk for Peace, and city officials quickly accepted the invitation. “We are all aware that these issues are not limited to aboriginal communities,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “We have hope of a life absent from drugs and violence and the devastating effects they have on all of us.” The walk has gained momentum with support received from other First Nations, RCMP, Fraser Health Authority, Salvation Army, as well as businesses, groups and service agencies.

“This is an opportunity to make people aware of a need, and once that need is identified by the general public, then we’ll be able to fix it,” said Austin Underwood, who helped organize the Walk for Peace. “It’s been incredible to see this come together. Everyone has come on board and think it’s a good idea.” All it took was for someone to ask for help, he said. Underwood is a job developer with Triangle Community Resources, and it was one of his clients who reached out to him with real-life horror stories of violence and intimidation inflicted by organized crime and fuelled by addiction.

Diane Janzen to seek BC Liberal nomination Robert Freeman The Progress Former city councillor Diane Janzen has announced she is seeking the B.C. Liberal nomination in Chilliwack-Hope, the riding vacated when Barry Penner announced his resignation from politics. “I am committed to winning the nomination and earning the opportunity to represent all citizens in the great riding of Chilliwack-Hope,” Janzen said in a news release.

Janzen stepped down as city councillor for a run as the federal Liberal candidate in the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding in the May, 2011 election. Janzen placed third behind the New Democrats in that election, but her campaign organization was touted as a model by the party in its rebuilding process. Janzen said she decided to seek the provincial nomination “to be a strong advocate for the needs of local constituents and to ensure strong leadership at the provincial

level at a very difficult global economic time.” “While other governments world-wide are on the brink of default, we have retained our triple A credit rating, have the lowest personal income taxes in Canada and have a positive business climate,” she said. A provincial election is not scheduled until May, 2013, but Janzen told The Progress she decided to announce her campaign for nomination now. “I wanted to tell everybody I’m

very serious about getting the nomination,” she said. “I would welcome the opportunity to serve under the leadership of Premier Christy Clark and with longstanding MLA John Les to address local issues,” she said. No date has been set for the nomination. Penner said he “welcomes Diane to the race, and I expect we’ll see a number of others come forward over the next little while.” He said it appears the party will wait until the spring or summer

Trustee hopefuls questioned a DPAC forum Katie Bartel The Progress Class size, government funding, and micromanagement were recurring themes at the first school trustee all candidates meeting held last week. The District Parents’ Advisory Council hosted an all-candidates’ meeting on Wednesday at Chilliwack secondary. The meeting had 22 of the 24 candidates in attendance (Neil Whitley and Tammy Brown were absent) with approximately 75 people in the gallery. Questions asked were submitted to DPAC prior to the events and were randomly drawn for each candidate. When asked about implementing new policies to improve student achievement, David Russell, a former IT tech with the school district, said student achievement isn’t a policy issue – it’s budgetary. “What our at-risk kids need is more meaningful time with teachers, [educational assistants], counsellors, clerical staff,” said Russell, who noted the problems with the school district the last few years were lack of communication and “volatile” funding from the government. “We need to restore a credibility to our district that has been damaged in the last few years.” Walt Krahn, a retired principal, and Vern Tompke, a teacher, also said the “micromanaging” at the board table needs to stop. “I’d like the school board to be known for what it’s doing in the district, not for the fireworks it’s setting,” said Tompke. “The professionals have the education and experience, and when they’re hired, you need to have a confidence in them to do a good job. Trustees don’t need to micromanage and direct all facets of education.” When asked about the restoration of class size limits into the collective agreement Don Davis, a chartered accountant, was sup-

to hold a nomination meeting in the riding. Penner remains the MLA until an election is held. The chances of a “snap election” seem unlikely, Penner said, “but it’s always the premier’s prerogative in a parliamentary system.” B.C.’s election legislation states only that a general election must be held before May, 2013. The premier may call for an earlier election date. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

portive. “Not only do I think it should be in the agreement, I think it should be in our policy,” said Davis. “Teachers are overworked ... class sizes have grown rapidly. There may be 25 kids in a class, but in some cases, teachers are teaching 25 different lessons. “I don’t believe we can continue in this vein. The system is crumbling.” Audrey Stollings, a parent of two children in the school system, said she would advocate for more government funding “so teachers can have smaller classes and more EAs.” “Out of 60 school districts, we rank the 48th worse school district,” she said. “Without trustees working for change, it’s only going to get worse.”

Dan Coulter, a student at the University of the Fraser Valley, said classrooms were becoming unsafe, especially in shop classes. “Classes are getting larger and larger and they’re affecting learning as well as teacher workload,” said Coulter. “No one wants to see a child get hurt.” Barry Neufeld said the public system is underfunded, and Joey Hagerman suggested boards across the province form a coalition in the vein of Occupy Wall Street. “It doesn’t help when you only have 10 people,” said Hagerman, a teacher at Mountain Institution. “You need hundreds, if not thousands of people, a unified voice. To just put your hand out, they don’t really care.” Incumbent trustee Louise Piper

said she would not support a deficit budget. “Legislation won’t allow you to run a deficit,” said Piper. “We have to come up with more creative ways to deal with the funding pressures.” Kirsten Brandreth, former District Parents’ Advisory Council president, agreed there needs to be more funding, but suggested the board look beyond provincial coffers. “The problem is, where is the money going to come from,” said Brandreth. “There needs to be more creative ideas ... we have to be more vocal.” A second all-candidates meeting for trustees was also held Thursday at Sardis secondary. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

A couple in their seventies were seriously burned in a mobile home fire early last Thursday morning. The two victims were airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital for treatment, but Odelle Bouchard, 72, succumbed to her injuries. Her husband remains in the hospital’s burn unit. “This is a really devastating situation for the family,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. “Our thoughts are with them, and the family is asking for privacy during this difficult time.” The fire erupted in the mobile home in the 50000block of O’Byrne Road at about 3 a.m. Fir efighters fr om Chilliwack and the Chilliwack River Valley arrived to find the mobile home and one vehicle fully engulfed in the flames, which were spreading to an adjacent mobile home. The mobile home and vehicle were heavily damaged, but fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze in the adjacent mobile, which suffered only smoke and water damage. The cause of the fire is unknown, and is under investigation by provincial fire officials. Police do not consider the fire suspicious.

Sally Ann opens new addiction centre Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The finishing touches are almost complete at the new addictions counselling clinic in Chilliwack. Salvation Army Chilliwack Community Church opened Fireside Addiction Services last Wednesday, in its building on Brooks Avenue. “We’re excited to be able to add addiction treatment to the range of existing services provided by The Salvation Army in Chilliwack,” said Fireside executive director Major Larry Farley. “We expect the program to be life-changing for those in need of it.” The new Fireside facility has been in the planning stages for more than a year. “The doors are now open and we’ve started building a client base,” said Fireside counsellor Jim Ligertwood. They’ll be offering an intensive six-week addiction treatment program including group and individual therapy, with family support and evening workshops. Groups of eight to 12 people are being sought. “We can see clients on a walk-in basis or by referral,” Ligertwood said. The idea for an addiction centre in Chilliwack to serve the Fraser Valley rose out of the ashes of The Salvation Army Miracle Valley Treatment Centre, a 172-bed residential rehab near Mission, which closed last year. Major Bob Ratcliff, who was executive director at Miracle Valley and Ligertwood, program director, will undertake chaplaincy and counselling roles at Fireside. The counselling will focus on motivational enhancement, cognitive behavioural therapy as well as 12-Step philosophy, with a strong spiritual component. Evening workshops and lectures are planned for clients and community members. Fireside Addiction Services can be reached at (604) 702-9879 for information or intake. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

The BC Centre for Disease Control has issued a public notice advising passengers on a Greyhound Bus to Kelowna on Oct. 11 may have been exposed to tuberculosis. The bus stopped in Chilliwack at 7:45 p.m. before continuing on its way to Kelowna. Passengers on this bus are advised to have a TB skin test to determine if they were infected. Tuberculosis is spread through the air, but the disease is usually only transmitted if there is close, prolonged exposure to an infected person. A BCDC spokesperson said four hours or more of exposure is the usual definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;prolongedâ&#x20AC;? exposure. Greyhound Bus #5098 left Vancouver at 5:45 p.m., arrived in Chilliwack at 7:45 p.m. and arrived in Kelowna at 11:55 p.m. The bus also stopped in Coquitlam, Abbotsford, Hope, Merritt and Westbank. Passengers on this bus may call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 to determine if they need to be tested, and for more information. The infected passenger is now being treated in Kelowna.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only the German and Russian tanks had steel tracks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The British found that

A special guest will take her place alongside veterans marching in Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remembrance Day ceremonies this year. She never saw combat herself, but others like her were surely a welcome sight to Canadian soldiers fighting in both the Second World War and the Korean War. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;? is a 35-ton Sherman tank named Caroline. When Last Post is played at Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Park this year, and vets bow their heads in honour of the soldiers who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come home, Caroline will lower her gun muzzle in a show of respect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tanks we used during the Korean War were tanks that looked just like Caroline, but they had a different engine in them,â&#x20AC;? said Rollie Keith, a veteran tank driver and instructor, who named Caroline

after his daughter. Keith will be sitting in Carolineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;commanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? turret during the parade. The Sherman tank is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;iconicâ&#x20AC;? image of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military past, and for more than 30 years Caroline sat near the cenotaph at Sappers Park in Chilliwack where it was climbed on, photographed, researched and written about. Technically, she belongs to the 39 Combat Engineers Regiment, and she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;on loanâ&#x20AC;? to the Canadian Military Education Centre museum in Chilliwack. But in every other way she belongs to Chilliwack. When it appeared Caroline was heading for the scrap heap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where most of the 49,000 tanks like her ended up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chilliwack citizens rose up and came to her rescue. Caroline is probably one of the few Sherman tanks bought by Canada

Looking for leadership The most impor tant issue Chilliwack school trustees will face following the Nov. 19 election wasn’t mentioned at an all-cadidates forum Thursday evening. There was talk of student achievement, parent involvement, and stakeholder engagement. But there was nothing specific about how the next board of education will attract – and hold – an exceptional superintendent of schools. Ever since the last superintendent chose retirement over finishing out her five-year contract, the Chilliwack School District has been without a permanent CEO. Michael Audet, who came out of retirement to fill the post temporarily, signed on for only a year. The new board is expected to begin its search in January of 2012. And a lot is riding on that search. At its most basic, the superintendent is like the president of a large corporation. The management skills he or she brings to the job help shape the culture and workplace environment of that organization. Done right, that culture filters through the branch managers (principals and vice-principals) to the most important matrix – the employee/ customer level (the classroom).

The Chilliwack

Teachers have the greatest impact on scholastic success. They inspire learning. If we think of a moment of intellectual awakening in our young school lives, odds are there was a teacher’s name attached to it. But like any workplace, successful teachers are employees who are motivated, invigorated and appreciated by the management they’re responsible to. And for managers to be successful they need to be well led. Finding that leader is the challenge the new board faces. But just as the new board will be interviewing potential candidates to fill this role, those candidates will be interviewing this board. Will they find one that understands the nuances of effective board governance: to craft vision and create policies that others bring into action. Or will they find a board that feels it is its role to question, second-guess and undermine the senior administrative team that has been assembled in hopes of delivering the kind of leadership that can be felt in a classroom? Nov. 19 will tell us.. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Remembering the women who served Canada Remember. Few of us have not been touched by war. Parents, grandparents, siblings, past and present relatives and friends have known through anecdotes accounts of conflict, tragedy, horror, loss and poignant moments of peace and muted success. My mother Irene Harris, who served in the Women’s Royal Air Force (WRAF) in England, remembered vividly the day the Second World War started on 1st September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. As much as it was an ominous event that launched worldwide reaction, it fuelled tormented emotions of anger, deep fear, apprehension, and anxiety over the dire consequences of Hitler’s actions. Her father, my grandpa ‘Pop’, had served in the First World War and was away fighting in the Battle of the Somme when mom

was born in August 1916. That battle, which endured from July to November, came to symbolize the abysmal horror of war. The appalling casualty figures totalled more than a million soldiers who died, were wounded or went missing (Britain 420,000, France 200,000 and Germany 500,000). It was known as the battle of a lost generation of young Margaret soldiers. Pop was EVANS one who came home injured. Remember. In the Second World War, mom and my mother-in-law Jessie Evans joined with thousands of women who stepped up to the plate. They would do their part to support the war effort and protect our values. In Canada, women first entered

the Canadian military as nurses when they served in the Northwest Rebellion in 1885. That continued during the South African Boer War of 1899 to 1902 when they became a permanent part of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. In 1906, nurses were admitted to the Regular Force. During the First World War, more than 2,800 women served with the Army Medical Corps. The majority were overseas in hospitals, on board medical ships, in several theatres of war and in combat zones with mobile field ambulance units. But that war also saw women emerge in full military capacity, undertaking training in small arms, drill and vehicle maintenance. Remember. More than 50,000 women saw military service during the Second World War. And their support for the military was just as passion-

ate among those still at home. At the peak of wartime employment, 439,000 women worked in the service sector, 373,000 in manufacturing and 4,000 in construction. They excelled in fine precision work in electronics, optics and instrument assembly. Despite the macho attitude of the times (not all men welcomed women into the workforce), women drove buses, taxis and street cars. They worked in factories, on airfields and on farms producing food. They built parts for ships and aircraft, and assembled ammunition. They worked with lumberjacks where, no surprise here, they were tagged as lumberjills. And then there was Canada’s Elizabeth Muriel “Elsie” Gregory MacGill, the first woman in the world to graduate as an aeronautical engineer. Born and raised in Vancouver in 1905, she joined

Canadian Car and Foundry in 1938 where she designed the Maple Leaf Training ll aircraft. When the company got the contract from Britain’s Hawker Aircraft to build the Hawker Hurricane fighter aircraft for the Royal Air Force, MacGill oversaw 4,500 workers, and streamlined and troubleshot production of 1,400 Hurricanes known as the Mk X by 1944. Talk about girl power... Since the Second World War, women have steadily advanced in the military. In 1944 Elizabeth Smellie (a nurse in both world wars) was appointed a colonel in the Canadian Army. She blazed the way for women to excel at the highest military level. Today women make up 15 per cent of the Canadian military with many serving in the regular combat force in all levels and specialties. Remember.....

comes to Chilliwack

Residents urged to get out and vote I’m 17 years old and in Grade 11. I’m currently taking a new curriculum at Sardis Secondary: Civic Studies 11. I have learned a lot about democracy and the history of our Canadian Government. I know next year as a Canadian citizen turning 18, I’m eligible to vote. I was searching the web looking for statistics on what the percentage was of eligible voters who voted in the 2008 elections (www.electionalmanac.com/ canada/voterturnout.php.) As to my surprise, I saw in 2008, 58.8

per cent of people who voted; was the lowest yet, compared to all the years we’ve had elections (1876). So why are the numbers smaller than they should be? As people, are we being informed enough about the issues that lay ahead and in front of us? Do we have too much bias in the media? Maybe we believe everything the media says about our government and think we don’t need to vote because everything is fine and dandy (Occupy Vancouver).

Do we just wait until a crisis happens and then we hold the government responsible? Rule by the people and for the people. Doesn’t that lay within the core of the definition in what democracy stands for? We need more impartial media. The government needs to stop taking spins and tell the truth. So, how are you going to vote? To vote or not to vote; that is not the question. Are you informed about who your going to vote for? That is the question. Tariku Renaerts

User fees won’t help health care

Exercise your vote

It is encouraging that Cynthia George Taha had a successful experience during a recent local surgery (The Chilliwack Progress, Nov. 3/11, Readers Write). I agree our health care workers are quite dedicated and often overworked and our health care facilities typically crowded. However, her suggestion to implement user fees ‘specifically’ for non urgent cases lacks merit. We have all been paying for a medical system that has already been eroded to bare essentials and prone to long waits for most specialized care. Not to discourage

creative thinking, whom would she suggest could be responsible for determining a particular patient’s qualifications for care, and whether or not they should pay for such services, or how to determine if they have or have not taken care of themselves as deciding factors in their eligibility for service coverage? We have paid our share into our medical system all our adult years and understandably expect our needs to be fairly met without prejudice.

Aboriginal voice?

‘The hills that shake’

Just out of curiosity, are any of the candidates for school trustee aboriginal? I find it amazing that aboriginal people continue to entrust their kids to an educational system that consistently fails them. And then to sit through or read a stream of platitudes about educating aboriginal kids from would-be trustees is a bit much. Ernie Crey

In this forthcoming municipal election it is encouraging to see the large number of candidates seeking your vote to become part of the next city council. Every election is important and this one is even more so, please support the candidates of your choice as there is not less than 18 million reasons to exercise your vote on election day.

The Cohen inquiry will hear more evidence in December to weigh reports that a deadly salmon virus has infected multiple species of wild salmon on the B.C. coast.

expected within a month, he said, adding the inquiry has asked for the latest test results and information on the fish. The first reported detection of ISA in two sockeye smolts sampled along the central coast was disclosed by SFU researcher Rick Routledge in early October, after the inquiry stopped hearing witnesses, including experts on salmon diseases. Independent biologist and anti-fish farm activist Alexandra Morton said three more salmon taken from lower Fraser tributaries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a chinook, a coho and a chum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also tested positive for ISA virus.

Elders and families were living in fear, doors locked and blinds closed to what was going on. “A lot of the negative influences were coming from a criminal element from outside the community,” Underwood said. “It creates a toxic environment that the community then has to live with.” The example being set by Skwah with the Walk for Peace, and its desire to clean up the community, might eventually be used as

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualiﬁed to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

All of these services need special and personalized attention. The personal attention you get when using a Realtor can never be replaced by a web page. Many changes can occur in a real estate transaction. This is where having a professional to handle the sale of your home makes a big difference. Real estate professionals view such changes as challenges, rather than problems. Many potential problems are predictable, but their consequences can be minimized by anticipating them. Realtors draw on their experience and the experience of their colleagues to ensure a successful closing for the buyers and sellers. Today’s successful real estate agent is a multi-faceted professional who is computer savvy, a marketing innovator, a skilled negotiator, and a good communicator. Realtors must also have high ethical standards, dedication, and patience to work well with people in stressful situations. Real estate is still a people-oriented business where personal contact cannot be replaced with a web page.

The Internet has produced great changes in the real estate business. Prospective buyers in Chilliwack can surf the web for a home in their community or another province in the privacy of their home. Will the Internet ever replace the services of a professional Realtor? The answer to that question is “never!’’ Consumers that are Internet savvy can now do a lot of their own leg work before they hire a professional to assist them. Realtors advertising their listings often include a website or an MLS number which potential purchasers can use to access video tours, view more photos and additional information on their listings through the internet. This certainly can help you refine your prospect list to include or exclude homes, however although some may say “a picture is worth a 1000 words”, photos or videos cannot convey the emotional or physical experience obtained by a personal viewing with your Realtor. All that being said, another reason why the Internet will never make Realtors obsolete is that Realtors provide indispensable services to their clients. They help sellers prepare their home for sale, network with other Realtors to match buyers and sellers, educate clients about the local market trends, help them negotiate the best deal,

Chilliwack, right here, right now,” he said. Boileau credited part of the company’s success to “a workforce in Chilliwack secondto-none, with a strong work ethic, discipline and honesty.” “Soprema’s best asset is our people — employees who prove every day that world-class achievements can happen in our back yard,” he said. But he also credited Chilliwack MLA John Les as “the man with the original vision” for Soprema finding a home in Chilliwack. In 1997, Soprema was looking at Chilliwack to locate a new plant, but when the company couldn’t get another site it was considering out of the Agricultural Land Reserve, then-Mayor John Les came up with the idea of an old drivein theatre property north of the Highway 1. The city bought the 55 acres there, sold 10 acres to Soprema, and got an ALR exclusion for the rest, which eventually became home to Stream International and the Chilliwack Business Estates. CEPCO president John Jansen said Soprema is “certainly one of our centrepieces” in the business park, and its success as “a company that does business around the world” helps to attract other companies to locate here. The “strong work ethic” of Chilliwack employees and the “skilled labor” found here is another attraction, he said. Boileau said many British Columbians might be surprised to learn that value-added manufactured goods represent 53 per cent of all the province’s exports, more than all the natural resources combined. “Most of the public still think of B.C. as a resource-based economy,” he said. “We underestimate the importance of manufacturing to our quality of life, and the Fraser Valley is B.C.’s hotbed of value-added manufacturing and processing,” he said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Interprovincial Road. The suspect stopped before hitting the belt, but a police dog team was able to arrest the male suspect without incident. Police said a search of the vehicle uncovered the stolen generator â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plus several firearms and several hundred rounds of ammunition. The 22-year-old suspect, an Abbotsford man, is facing several weaponsrelated charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a really great stop by our members,â&#x20AC;?

The Breakfast Club is a student initiative at Sardis secondary that provides free breakfast at the school twice a week. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Students take charge in helping their peers Katie Bartel The Progress The similarities between Sardis secondary’s Breakfast Club and the John Hughes cult classic are uncanny. The Breakfast Club movie, which was released in 1985, was centred around five high school students, each portraying a different stereotype, who thought they had nothing in common, only to discover they were a lot more alike than they realized. Sardis secondary’s club was started in the same vein by a diverse group of students who a year ago also thought they had nothing in common. Challenge Day changed that. Last February the Challenge Day program, which aims at breaking down stereotypes and barriers between students, was offered to several teens in Chilliwack. After six hours in the same room together, “it was like we were a family,” said Grade 12 student Sebastian White. “We didn’t want to see that die with the day.” Following Challenge Day, 26 Sardis students formed the Be the Change committee, a student led and run organization.

The committee’s first order of business was to create a breakfast club, offering breakfast to students twice a week. “It’s free breakfast for students who want free breakfast,” said Grade 12 student Trenton McIntyre. It doesn’t matter if they’ve already had breakfast that morning, or if they’re parents can’t afford breakfast, no questions are asked, just food provided. “If you’re hungry and starving in class, it’s really hard to focus when your stomach is rumbling all the time,” said McIntyre, with two slices of toast, spread thick with peanut butter next to him. “If you’re hungry, we’ve got food.” Do they ever. A long row of desks in Room B120 are pushed together and nearly every available space is covered with food: apples, grapes, bananas, bags of bread, muffins, peanut butter, honey, jam, oat-

meal, juice, coffee, tea, milk, and more. There’s also hygiene products, school supplies, and used clothes available. All of which have been acquired by students. Every week Cobs Bread and

Kins Farm Market donate bread and bananas – at the request of the students. The school’s PAC has also donated funds – at the request of the students. As well, several students bring in home-baked goods. One student, Sharon Strauss, spends approximately $60 to $70 a week, of her own money, on grocery supplies for the program.

“I’m naturally really shy, I don’t talk to too many people, but this has helped me be more social,” said Strauss, a Grade 12 student. “I think it’s very important to be able to get together like this and have something to eat ... and if we’re able to help people by doing this, that’s good too.” This isn’t the first breakfast program to be started in the school district. Other schools have offered free breakfast or hot lunches to students in need, but the difference with this one, it doesn’t single students out. “It’s youth helping youth,” said Grade 12 student Megan McClennon. “We go to school with these kids, we know what’s happening around us more than teachers do.” “This is a place to come and enjoy eating together, it’s an opportunity for the kids in our school to really get to know each other, open up, eat,” added Grade 12 student Jasmine Proctor, between bites of an apple. “Be the Change has given a sense of welcoming in our school.” However, because most of the students will be graduating this year, organizers are worried the club will fizzle.

At a recent board of education meeting, a group of Sardis students approached Chilliwack trustees and requested funding for another Challenge Day so that other students can experience what they did and keep the momentum growing. Challenge Day, is a Californiacreated program, that usually runs over three days at a cost of $4,020. Sardis secondary teacher Parween Irani partnered with teachers in Hope and Mission in sharing the costs to bring the program to each district for one day. Sardis secondary’s PAC helped with Chilliwack’s portion of the cost. In total, 155 Chilliwack students in grades 8-12, attended the program; 80 of who were from Sardis. “I would like to see all three high schools get this opportunity,” said Irani at the school board meeting. “These students are the ones who can bring more change efficiently and effectively than I can as a teacher.” Their breakfast club, which on average attracts 100 or more students each day, is proof. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

The Lions Den Presented by Mt. Cheam Lions Club

I mentioned last month that this Dec. 4th marks the return of Timmy’s Telethon which was cancelled on Oct. 20th 2000. Timmy’s Christmas Telethon was a major fundraiser for much needed projects such as Easter Seal House and Easter Seal Camps. Over the 23 years they were on the air they raised over 83 million dollars. The newly revamped Timmy’s Christmas Telethon will be 6 hours (as opposed to 19hrs done previously) of televised entertainment, inspiring stories, special celebrity guests and the dedicated work of caring individuals and organizations and will air on Dec. 4th from 4pm-10pm on Shaw TV. If you would like to make a donation you can call 1-800-818-4483 or 604 873-1865. The Mount Cheam Lions Club (as well as other Lions Clubs) will be throwing our whole support behind this project. We hope you will too. Another annual fundraiser is our Pub Crawl which takes place this year on December 16th. Santa as well as Mrs. Claus will once again join the Mount Cheam Elves (Lions) as we travel from pub to pub in the Chilliwack area spreading Christmas cheer and collecting donations from pub patrons. The funds will be used for speci¿ed charities. Watch also for the familiar red lions shirts selling turkey draw tickets beginning late November till Dec. 23rd. Although it is referred to as a turkey draw it is actually for $25 Fraser Valley Meats gift certi¿cates. Each card has “pay what you scratch” with squares from 1 cent to 99 cents with one free square. And there’s a gift certi¿cate for each and every card.

The tournament, which is now run by the Chilliwack-Mount Cheam Rotary Club, has raised nearly $200,000 for Chilliwack Community Services, and has also collected 10,000 new toys. Funds raised and toys collected go towards Christmas hampers for families in need. “This is Chilliwack’s biggest Christmas fundraiser,” said Rotarian Ed McGrath. “The last few years, we’ve raised $20,000 per year and between 400 and 500 toys per year.” This year, they want to up the ante. “With it being our 25th year, our goal is to raise $25,000,” said McGrath. The tournament is capped at 42 teams with anywhere from six to 10 players. So far, 24 have signed up. Cost is $100 per team, and each player is required to donate a new, unwrapped toy.

2011 Chilliwack Municipal Election November 19, 2011

As part of its continuing coverage of the 2011 municipal election, The Progress presents this special section to complement its online question-and-answer series. Candidates were asked: “What specific contribution will you bring to Chilliwack city council?” Here are the answers from those who chose to respond. For more detailed responses to issues facing Chilliwack voters, go to www.theprogress.com and check under the election tab.

Dick Harrington

Ian B. Carmichael Required to sum up my hoped for contribution to city council I will respond, a reasonable, rational and realistic, (3R) balanced approach which considers the ‘big picture’ implications of decisions, that adequately meet the needs of the greater good, for the long term. It is my belief that the decisions of city council, service provision, infrastructure construction and maintenance, land use planning and community health and safety, have a greater impact on the lives of the citizenry than any other level of government. I hope the electorate of Chilliwack will demonstrate their confidence in that approach with their support.

I will bring experience on a city council that is lacking from all but one of my fellow candidates. As a councillor in Niagara Falls, I sat on 13 committees, including public works, finance, and the Recreation Commission (as chair). Niagara Falls receives over 18,000,000 tourists a year. The impact was immense. We went through a major pressure for new infrastructure in sewers, waterworks, roads etc. I was right in the middle of this growth. Our urban renewal successes were heralded across Canada. I went on to serve on Niagara Regional Council, where again, I was involved in many major committees, including policing, social services and health services.

Garth Glassel The specific assets that I can bring to the city of Chilliwack Council is a lot of “Old Fashion Common Sense”. I have the age and experience of running business ventures yet am still young enough to see the way of the future for our younger generation. I see the wasteful spending of taxpayer’s money and the politics involved yet can’t bring myself to be condoning the arrogant behavior of the current Council and staff. Take for example, Council voted to build a 3 to 4 million dollar library, awarded to a Langley contractor, for Sardis yet can’t provide timely Fire protection for Promontory?

Brenda Currie I would advocate activities to follow the official community plan to increase employment, improve bus service, increase policing and support seniors, volunteers, charitable and sports organizations to improve the quality of life of the citizens of our community. My passion for Chilliwack comes from being a long time resident, and my experience in business and community involvement with various organizations. I feel I have a great deal to offer with these attributes in the development of our community at this time co-operating with our elected councillors and mayor.

Ron Wedel

Mitchell Nosko My top priority will be to stimulate our local economy by providing new ideas to council. Businesses face difficult challenges in the slow economy and as a business owner I understand that thinking outside the box is essential for survival. In order to grow we need to support existing businesses and create an environment where new business can flourish. My idea for creating a business mentoring program is a realistic and practical goal for accomplishing this. As our community grows, we need City Councilors that are in touch with the needs of the whole community, both young families and seniors alike.

Being a member of Chilliwack City Council will be my top priority. I want to see Chilliwack grow and flourish while maintaining it’s small town charm and appeal that led me to raise my family here 40 years ago. I have been going door to door talking with the many members of this community so I can gain a better understanding of how to represent the diversity that is Chilliwack, and it is this dedication and open mindeness that I will bring to City Council.

Cultus Lake Park is a one-of-a-kind destination camping & recreational resort area for the Lower Mainland. It requires top quality management to upgrade and safeguard for our children and their children’s future.

Jason Lum

I will contribute my experience as a business owner, an entrepreneur, and a dedicated volunteer. I have extensive experience managing people, finances, and customers. As an entrepreneur I recognize the opportunities that Chilliwack has to offer. I believe that strong innovative leadership will attract bright, talented people to this city to work, live, and prosper. I believe positive change happens at the community level. I take great pride in my work and have been inspired by the people and organizations that I am involved with.

Stewart McLean As a city councillor I brought to city council an educated background, combined with a broadbased professional and business experience. Through my 3 years as a city councillor serving on many committees of council I have demonstrated my leadership abilities. I would now be able to continue contributing to city council with increased knowledge and understanding of the issues before council. I would continue to contribute through my professional understanding and knowledge around the many social issues facing our city.

SOLID LEADERSHIP

VISION

Ron Browne The most important contributions I will bring to council are my knowledge of community organizations and my experience as a manager and professional accountant. As I talk to people I hear strong support for my accounting background and expertise. People want more transparency and accountability from government. I would work hard to help make our city a leader in good governance. Management experts describe hospitals as complex organizations to run effectively. During my career I have worked as Chief Financial Officer of a hospital with a budget of over $120 million. That is about the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget today.

Ken Popove I am a successful business owner and my ability to build community spirit and support for causes that benefit the community as a whole would be an asset. I have a strong optimistic outlook and a “can do” attitude, that I feel will allow me to see things as challenges and not problems! Without a doubt my biggest skill I will bring to city council if elected will be my ability to listen. Listening before acting has allowed me to understand issues, elevate challenges and make informed decisions for the best possible outcome, even when not the popular road travelled.

2011 Chilliwack Municipal Election

Chilliwack school district has experienced significant budgetary cuts in the last three years due to climbing costs and increased mandates. Administrators, teachers, educational assistants, and support staff have had reductions. The school district also started charging for busing, restructured its administration to cover multiple schools, and last year tested out a two-week spring break as cost-saving measures. All of which were controversial. School trustee candidates were asked by The Progress what innovative strategies could the school district implement to increase revenue. (Complete responses from all the candidates who replied to our question can be found on The Progress website at www.theprogress. com.) Several candidates suggested designating more schools in the district as community schools, which

bring in funds through facility rentals. Some candidates also suggested looking into the viability of starting a business company, or promoting sponsorships. “Sports teams can be a source of pride for schools, and a source of sponsorship dollars,” said Jack Bass, suggesting team names, team uniforms, track and field facilities could all be sponsored. Don Davis suggested the district increase its investment income, make its facilities more energy efficient through government grants and subsidies, and find ways for attracting more international students. “These students pay a high tuition rate to study in Canada,” he said. “There is a market for this education opportunity.” Kirsten Brandreth said the district needs to aim for a balanced budget – not one that has a significant surplus. “I would like to see revenue generated that is a winwin situation for our students and community, but not one that is derived from parents and staff constantly

[more-online www.theprogress.com dipping into their pockets,” she said. Several candidates, however, were cautious in their responses, stating the number one priority of a board is student achievement, not fundraising. Many said it’s the government that needs to step up. “While the government issues regular announcements that they are increasing funding for public education, it has barely kept up with inflation, and the school district has not been able to expand or enhance its services to children,” said Barry Neufeld. David Russell agreed. “The school district is an organization built for a single purpose: Educating our children. To try and force it to deliver services for which it is not designed can cause greater stresses and interfere with its core mission.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

But a proposed sale that would have re-opened the two independentlyowned dealerships “came to a screeching halt” for undisclosed reasons, he said. “It’s out of our hands now,” he said, because of the receivership issue.

Salmon Farmers Association said it has sampled thousands of fish from its members’ farms without finding any ISA. But critics like Morton don’t trust industr y-controlled tests. And U.S. senators from Washington and Alaska have also called for independent tests, suggesting Canadian officials may be too close to the $400-million aquaculture industry. Mainstream Canada, an aquaculture firm, said in a statement independent re-testing of the first reported samples has come back inconclusive. It cited a Norwegian researcher who was unable to replicate the earlier results and cautioned a weak positive result can reflect a different virus with a similar genetic profile. Mainstream said it’s critical to wait for the CFIA tests to give the final word and accused Morton of “spreading fear and concern without any basis in fact.” ISA has mainly been a disease of farmed Atlantic salmon and the European strain can kill up to 90 per cent of infected fish. Some researchers and aquaculture organizations say it may pose less of a threat to wild sockeye.

REMEMBRANCE DAY NOVEMBER 11, 2011

When we give our lives in the name of

Inventory of wars in contemporary history Remembrance Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices that today’s soldiers make and on the sacrifices of all those who preceded them.

The deadliest war: The Great War of 1914-1918 is the greatest drama known to Europe in terms of the number of deaths. The totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century and the Second World War are the direct consequences of this war. But it was the Second World War that was the deadliest, with more than 55 million deaths, of which 30 million were civilian. The most remembered war: This is the Second World War because of the atom bombs dropped on Japan and because it left its mark on three generations. Fortunately, those who remember it also remember the slogan “No more war!”

In honour of those who saved the world

The bloodiest battle in Canadian history: The Battle of the Somme took place from July 1 to the end of November, 1916. On the ﬁrst day of this battle, the 1st Newfoundland Regiment was virtually annihilated in the village of Beaumont. Machine guns, barbed wire, trenches, and massive artillery shelling resulted in ferocious ﬁghting marked by heavy losses. Some 24,713 Canadians and Newfoundlanders died in the battle.

In life one man can seldom see His impact in society Our soldiers fight to blinded eyes To allow us all to live our lives Taking up arms against a foe To save us from the pain they know To give us all out liberty They bear the brunt of misery No greater duty can one bear An act of courage few would dare Endless sacrifices for 4 years Keeping back our greatest fears November 11th is a day of love To remember those now up above Men and women far too great To be remembered upon one date No words bring justice to their fight But I will try with all my might To bring them honour for the days They fought to alay such evil ways No act of love could be so grand As one brave soldier’s final stand So now I will say at last We must remember what has past Those who have died and those who live And all the thanks to them we give They are all those who meet the call Preserving good for one and all So on this day I ask you pray For heroes of our memory Thank for your sacrifice It was this act that gave us life.

The largest naval battle: The greatest naval concentration of contemporary history was deployed in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean area on September 21, 2007. This unprecedented demonstration of power by the United States against Iran included three aircraft carriers supported by about 40 escort vessels and nearly 100 aircraft.

Red and white poppies

Canadian paciﬁst groups are working together to spread the tradition of the white poppy from England to Canada.

Wearing a red poppy for Remembrance Day on November 11 has been a tradition in this country for 90 years now. The white poppy, dating from 1933, has recently resurfaced, however. It is a way to remember the civilian victims of war. The two complement each other: the red for those who died for their country, the white for the hope of peace. Did you know that behind these poppy campaigns, both past and present, are some very committed women? The adoption of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance has international origins. The first person to use it in this way was Mrs. Moina Michael, a staff member of the American Overseas YMCA, during the last year of the First World War. In April 1920 she led a stirring campaign to have the poppy recognized as the official symbol of remembrance by the American Legion. At the same time, Mrs. Anna Guérin, from France, became an ardent defender of the poppy as the symbol that would help all citizens remember those who died in the war. The efforts of these two ladies were not in vain. The first “poppy day” was held on November 11, 1921, in France as well as in Commonwealth countries. Ninety years later, the poppy is still a reminder to us all. But we mustn’t forget that on November 11, 1933, the Women’s Cooperative Guild in the United Kingdom launched the white poppy campaign, symbolizing the will to work towards creating a world without violence, to resolve conflicts peacefully, and to remember civilian victims of war.

George Spruce Kings was closer than Smyl would have liked, but a win is a win is a win. The Sprucies came in with a bruised and battered lineup, dressing four AP callups to deal with a spate of injuries and other absences. Out-shot 46-28, PG managed to force overtime when Paul De Jersey scored with 2:09 remaining. 3:44 into the second OT session, De Jersey was flagged for a blow to the head. In the BCHL, OT penalties are penalty shots, and Trevor Hills ended the game with a top shelf shot over PG keeper Kirk Thompson. Spruce Kings coach Dave Dupas was livid at the call on De Jersey, and spent five post-game minutes at the Prince George bench venting on the officials. “It did end on a penalty shot, but it was a penalty and that’s the rule,” Smyl said. “But I really like our overtime structure. I am a huge fan of four-on-four and three-on-three and I’d take those two options over a shoot-out anytime. It’s just way more

entertaining.” Huisman had a goal against PG to go with his goal against Vernon. The Smithers native has gotten on quite a roll, but Smyl said it’s what he does away from the puck that makes him a top flight BCHL player. “Ever ybody looks at that stat (goals), but if you saw the Vernon game, he took all the defensive-zone faceoffs, he wins most puck battles and he kills penalties,” Smyl said. “The goals and assists are nice, but he’s bringing so much more to our hockey club.” Huisman and company look forward to a weekend at home, facing the Langley Rivermen Friday and the Salmon Arm Silverbacks Saturday. The game against Langley is Smyl’s first since coming back to Chilliwack, but he says there’s no extra meaning for him. “They have a whole new identity and direction and there are very few players I had on that team,” he said. “If there was more to it than that, I’d tell you. But there really isn’t.”

BCHL’s best take on the world The World Junior A Challenge started yesterday and runs through Sunday in Langley, providing a showcase for the best of the BCHL’s best. Since the tournament started in 2006, 47 BCHL players (from 15 teams) have skated for Canada West. That list includes some familiar names. Casey Pierro-Zabotel, who tormented the Chilliwack Bruins as a member of the Vancouver Giants,

represented the Merritt Centennials in 2006 and 2007. Abbotsford native Derek Grant represented the Langley Chiefs in 2008 — the only player to represent the Chiefs logo in the annual showcase. The Penticton Vees have sent 11 players to the tournament, including NHL draft picks Zac Dalpe (Carolina) and Brett Hextall (Phoenix). Until this year, Coquitlam and Surrey had never sent a player.

Russian skaters earn NHL notice TSN draft guru Bob McKenzie has released his pre-season top 10 prospects for the 2012 National Hockey League entry draft, and a pair of Russians with World Junior A Challenge experience made the cut. Nail Yakupov, who helped Russia take bronze at the 2009 tournament in Summerside, P.E.I., was the top-rated player on McKenzie’s list, which came from a poll of 10 NHL scouts, while Mikhail Grigorenko, who was named to the tournament all-star team as a 16-year-old in 2010, took the No. 6 spot. “He’s a dynamic goal-scorer who isn’t afraid to get his nose dirty to score goals and make plays,”

McKenzie said of Yakupov, who recorded three points in four games in Summerside, including a goal in the bronze medal game victory over Canada East. Kyle Turris, MVP of the first-ever World Junior A Challenge in 2006, is currently the highest-drafted alumnus of the tournament. Turris was selected third overall by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2007 draft. Overall, 13 World Junior A Challenge alumni have been firstround selections, including three in the top 10 – Turris, Nikita Filatov (2008, sixth overall by Columbus) and Alexander Burmistrov (2010, eighth overall by Atlanta).

Chilliwack secondary school’s senior girls field hockey team is making their near-annual sojourn to provincials, heading to Kelowna for a tournament that starts Wednesday and concludes Friday. The Storm qualified for this year’s tournament in dramatic fashion. CSS qualified in a wildcard game played last Wednesday, in Tsawwassen, against Cowichan. CSS claimed the game in a penalty shoot- out, with Natasha Deslaurier scoring the decisive tally and goalie Kylie Gauley coming up with a final save. The Storm will enter provincials as the 16th seed, stuck in the same pool with number-one ranked Handsworth (North Vancouver). The pool consists of Handsworth, Oak Bay (Victoria), Chilliwack and their arch-rivals from North Surrey. Beating a Handsworth team loaded with top flight players is a tall task, but wins over North Surrey

and Oak Bay would set CSS up for a finish in the 9-14 range, which would be acceptable. “We’ve had our fair number of injuries this year that have hampered our starting lineup,” said coach Barb Kroeker. “Nicole Bartel, our centre midfielder, had ACL surgery last year and has been understandably tentative coming back this season.” Forward Christina Vandenbrink was hit on the foot in a recent match is another Storm player trying to round back into form. Midfielder Megan Wierks has been fighting hamstring and groin injuries since early September. Kelsi McLean has been carrying the team on her back, and hopefully, she has enough in her gas tank to carry this team through another week. Gauley, and defender Kyra Vanderveen, have been literally unstoppable lately. Follow the tourney online at www.kss.sd23. bc.ca/sports/bcfh/

Strikers score four to confound Kaos

DEREK GRANT

ALUMNI/ANCIEN - 2008

KYLE TURRIS

ALUMNI/ANCIEN - 2006

Chilliwack’s U-16 Silver Strikers girls looked for a bounceback effort as they hosted the Coquitlam Kaos. Due to injuries, both teams were forced to use their backup keepers for this game. Chilliwack came out with a determined effort from the opening

whistle, forcing several turnovers from the Kaos midfielders. The Strikers opened the scoring at the 10 minute mark. A corner kick by Kristy Ricard found Taylor Allen waiting in the six yard box. Allen tipped the ball into the net for a 1-0 lead. Chilliwack continued to press, but Coquitlam’s stifling ‘bunch’ defence kept the Strikers from adding to their lead. The score remained 1-0 at halftime. Eleven minutes into the second half, left midfielder Kiana Thiessen’s determined work against a Kaos defender resulted in a

pass to Haley Mainse at the opposite post. Mainse made no mistake one-timing the ball into a wide-open net. Four minutes later, Shanelle Brown passed to Allen who, in turn, sent the ball to Mainse. From the side of the 18 yard box, her quick back pass was a perfect set up for Ricard. Ricard slammed her shot into the top corner of the net past the outstretched fingers of the Kaos keeper to give the Strikers a three goal cushion. At the 19 minute mark, Jade Emond sent the ball to midfielder Kaila Ronda, who relayed it

to Emma Haagensen at the top of the 18 yard box. Haagensen beat two defenders and leftfooted her shot low into the bottom corner. Chilliwack’s shutout bid was spoiled in the 33rd minute when Coquitlam was awarded a handball penalty kick. Chilliwack was also awarded a penalty kick three minutes later for a tackle from behind. Mainse took the shot but missed the mark. The girls travel to Burnaby on Friday for a Remembrance Day tournament. They’re back home Sunday to face the Coquitlam Nitro.

United girls upend Abbotsford Mariners Chilliwack’s U-11 United girls soccer team blanked the Abbotsford Mariners 3-0 on Sunday. Katie Lampen scored midway through the first half with the sup-

port of forwards Grace Bisson, Amber Feaver, Grace Vandenbrink and Carmen Bonnar. Madison Steele doubled the lead early in the second half, scoring off a corner kick.

The United defence was exceptionally stingy. Chilliwack defenders Paige Owens, Miranda Coombes, Kalista Kirkness, Deanna Tuchscherer and Danielle Klassen

kept things tidy around the net, making life relatively easy for goaltender Katrina Brown. Vandenbrink scored the final Chilliwack goal with time winding down.

The Chilliwack Lunachicks women’s soccer squad lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to Surrey United Sunday at the Tzeachten Sports Field. The game’s only goal came on a Surrey penalty kick with 10 minutes to go. The Lunachicks had a penalty kick of their own with four minutes left, but Cara Brendzy was thwarted on the first strike, and Andrea Feaver was stymied on the rebound.

JOHNSTON Irene Ruby Rose

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Irene Ruby Rose Johnston, JOHNSTON on Friday, October 21, 2011, at the age of 91. Mom passed away peacefully in her home at the Cascade Lodge, Chilliwack, with her family at her side. She is survived by her daughter Nancy Grozier (Kerry); granddaughter Abby Logan; brother, Buzz Graham (Ellen) and many family members and friends. She was predeceased by her husband Joseph Earl in 1976 and her two brothers, Les and Earl Graham. Mom was also blessed with a special gift of friendship. When she was 10 years old she met a girl named Fae Pearson. They formed an unbreakable bond and remained the dearest of friends for over eighty years. Fae left us in December 2009. Mom was a talented seamstress and an amazing baker. We are really going to miss those strawberry cream pies she would whip up for us. Of all her accomplishments Mom’s greatest achievements have been in the lives of her family and friends. Mom, nanny, sis, auntie I, Irene was a quiet, sweet lady, devoted to her family and always thinking of everyone before herself. So while we grieve the loss of a wonderful mother, sister, grandma, aunt and friend, we can rejoice in the life that she lived. Mom’s last days were spent with laughter, dignity and grace. She taught us lessons of courage and spirit. She never complained and never stopped trying to be mom or nanny. She leaves us with a lifetime of precious memories to treasure. “Though absent, you are very near Still loved, still missed, and very dear.” A very special thanks to Dr. Bartel and Dr. Dueck and the loving caring staff at the Cascade Lodge. A celebration of Irene’s life will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 1:00pm at the family home on Chartwell Drive, Chilliwack.

MCFARLAND Daniel James Jr.

Daniel James McFarland (Jamie) passed away suddenly at his residence on October 31, MCFARLAND 2011. He was 40 years old. Jamie was born and raised in Chilliwack. He will be remembered and missed by his parents, Mother Dawn and (Larry) Toop, his father Dan McFarland (Carol) and his brothers Scott (Maria), Craig (Ange), Lee and Fraser Mason. Two cousins that he thought of as brothers Darren Toop (Jody), and Dean Toop (Nadine) He had many Aunts and Uncles and cousins. Jamie was Uncle to Randy and Jessie McFarland, Landon and Ashlynn Toop, Blaire, Brooke and Randall Toop. Chris Clayton, Curtis and Jessica Toop. He loved his Uncle Pat, Auntie Nicki McPhail and Angie, his very good friend Daryl Jones. Jamie was predeceased by his maternal grandparents Len and Gladys Adams. Fraternal grandparents Frank and Rachael McFarland, his Uncle Glen and “just like” brother Randy Toop. Jamie was a great son and brother. He really loved being with his brothers, nieces and nephews. He loved his super sister-in-laws. They cooked him great meals, He often said that those families meant everything to him and he couldn’t wait to see all of them. He deﬁnitely will be missed for his “unique choice of language”. He had an unbe-

lievable sense of humour and an infectious laugh. He could do something and whether right or wrong, he retold the story and you couldn’t help but laugh. He was hilarious. How could you be mad at him when he is bursting with laughter? He loved watching red-neck movies. Larry the Cable Guy was one of his favourites. Jamie drove a gravel truck from the age of 18. He worked for Dennis Hamilton and Brad Bassett (Chilliwack Gravel). He hated change and if he had to work a longer day then what he had planned, he was grumpy. That was our Jamie. The family would like to thank Dr. Weatherston and the paramedics for everything they have done for him. We want to thank God for giving him to us for the past forty years. There will not be a funeral service, but a Memorial Service will be held on Saturday November 12, 2011 at 2:00pm at the Atchelitz Hall on Lickman Road, Chilliwack. He will rest with his Grandparents, Len and Gladys Adams in the Royal Canadian Cemetery. They looked after him the ﬁrst two hears of his life while his parents were working. We love you Jamie. You will forever be in our hearts and it will be very difﬁcult to go on without you. With love to you from the bottom of our hearts; Mom and Dad and brothers.
