Mark Anderson and the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board have put together a website to help voters get more involved in the upcoming municipal election . The site, called www.thevalleyvotes.ca, includes videos, candidate blogs and question and answers. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Realtors hope to get the vote out Robert Freeman The Progress Boosting Chilliwack’s voter turnout in the next municipal election is the aim of an interactive website recently launched by the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board. The initiative may be the first by a real estate organization in B.C. Chilliwack ranked ninth from the bottom of the list of B.C. municipalities for voter turnout in the last municipal election held in November, 2008. Mark Andersen, president of the real estate board and a former city councillor, said in light of that dismal record, the board decided to launch a website instead of holding an all-candidates meet-

Only 12,633 ballots were cast in the last municipal election in 2008, and a paltry 7,406 in 2005 - although there were no challengers for the mayor’s seat that year, which usually draws more voters to the polls. Municipal elections in B.C. are held on the same date every three years. This year, the election date is Nov. 19, and several candidates have already announced their intention to run for one of the six seats on Chilliwack city council. Municipal elections in B.C. include voting for school board trustees, Fraser Valley Regional District directors and Cultus Lake park commissioners. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

ing like other community organizations. The website at www.thevalleyvotes. ca will feature “man-on-the-street” interviews asking Chilliwack people for their views on local issues, and give election candidates a platform to present their positions to voters. A vote in municipal elections may be the most important ballot a resident can cast, although federal and provincial elections get the lion’s share of media and public attention. “Many people are not aware of how much power the municipal government has on out tax dollars,” Andersen said. Local councils also decide everything from how much noise you can make at night to approving highrise developments next door to your dream home.

Chilliwack resident Paul Murray couldn’t believe his eyes. First, there was the sight in his rearview mirror of a car racing up behind him as he waited patiently for a train to pass at the Young Street railway crossing Thursday night. Then, after he was briefly knocked unconscious by the crash when his car was rammed by a vehicle that had been waiting behind him, it was the sight of the man being arrested by police. “The guy was wearing a red miniskirt, cowboy boots, and he had blonde wig on,” Murray said. “I thought, ‘What’s going on here?’” Murray told The Progress Friday. “The cops said they were chasing this guy, and they knew him very well because this kind of thing had happened before,” he said. “I wondered, in that case, why does this guy even have a driver’s licence?” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said she couldn’t confirm the 72-year-old suspect’s attire that night - it had nothing to do with the charges against him, she said - but the suspect had a driver’s licence “because the (past) offences he has committed were not driving-related.” Police said they had tried to stop the vehicle at about 8 p.m. as they suspected the driver was impaired. “The general duty police officer activated (his) emergency lights and sirens in an attempt to pull the vehicle over,” Hollingsworth said in a news release. But the lone male suspect continued driving, doing the speed limit, along Fletcher Street to Nowell Street, then onto Cheam Avenue and eventually south on Young Road towards the CN railway crossing. “The suspect vehicle collided with a stopped vehicle waiting for the train,” Hollingsworth said, which caused it to then ram into Murray’s vehicle. She said the suspect reversed his vehicle “in an effort to leave the scene,” ramming into one of the RCMP cruisers that had pulled up to block him in. “This was a short, low-speed pursuit that thankfully ended without any major injuries or major damage to vehicles or property,” Hollingsworth said.

News
Complaints commission completes Knipstrom review Robert Freeman The Progress A final report by the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC) finds no fault with the way Chilliwack officers responded to and eventually Tasered a Chilliwack man who died following the 2007 incident. But the CPC criticized the 21 months it took the RCMP to respond to its Nov. 25, 2009 interim report. “In the view of the CPC, that delay was neither appropriate nor necessary, nor has it been explained,” the authors of the
report said in a statement released last week. “Historically, there have been lengthy delays in the provision of the (RCMP) Commissioner’s response to the CPC’s interim reports,” a CPC spokesman told The Progress. “At the end of August, the Commission was awaiting 48 responses from the RCMP Commissioner, 31 of which had been outstanding for more than six months,” he said. A coroner’s inquest in 2009 found that the use of Tasers had little, if anything, to do with the
death of Robert Knipstrom, who was in the throes of “excited delirium” brought on by the use of Ecstasy resulting in a psychotic state characterized by extra-ordinary strength and resistance to pain. Knipstrom, 36, died in hospital five days after the violent confrontation with RCMP officers in which he was Tasered at least five times, pepper-sprayed and struck with a metal baton on Nov. 19, 2007. The police use of Tasers, in light of the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski a month earlier at Vancouver International Airport,
raised immediate questions about Knipstrom’s death. But the CPC found the use of Taser’s in Knipstrom’s case was “reasonable in the circumstances” and made 27 additional findings and four recommendations in its final report. The RCMP accepted all but two of the CPC’s findings and agreed with all but one of the CPC’s recommendations. The RCMP Commissioner did not agree with the finding that it was “inappropriate” for officers involved in an incident to be interviewed by members of the same

or lower rank, or with the recommendation that a staff relations representative should officially attend such incidents to protect members’ “welfare, dignity and operational effectiveness.” RCMP officers interviewing members involved in the Knipstrom incident were not always superior in rank, and in some cases conducted interviews alone, instead of by a two-member team. But the CPC spokesman said those areas of disagreement have since been addressed by new RCMP policies. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Yarrow school construction facing delays Katie Bartel The Progress Students at Yarrow elementary are having to wait longer than expected to move into their new school. The new school was projected to be up and running, with students in classrooms, this January, but due to construction delays, the schools won’t switch over until spring break. Earlier this month, district officials met with Yellowridge Construction Ltd., the company in charge of construction at Yarrow elementary, and decided that even though construction on the school will be complete
sometime in January, it would be best to delay the move-in a couple of months. The reason for the delay is so school staff can be trained in the operations of the new heating and ventilation system, which is different than the one used in the old school facility. “It’s going to take a little bit of time to make sure all the deficiencies are taken care of and that we have trained staff to operate the heating and ventilation of the building before we bring the kids in,” said superintendent Michael Audet. “We wanted to make sure all the
new equipment is up and running and functioning well, and that all the deficiencies are taken care of. And probably the most important thing is, when the kids move in there will be no tradesmen on site. There will be nobody with tools, no more jackhammer, no more power tools. That’s done.” The school district also did not want to be rushed with the move, and decided spring break – from March 19-25 – would be the next best opportunity to move in, rather than on a weekend. Students will be in the new school on March 26.
Soca is not a cat that would easily go unnoticed. She has the stature of a medium-sized dog, the coat of a cheetah, oversized perky ears, and a high-pitched meow that sounds more like the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park than a cat. And yet, for more than a week, no one has seen hide nor hair of her. Dianne Wolff’s one-year-old female cat Soca, a domesticated African serval, went missing on Sept. 10. “She’s never ever, ever left, never,” said Wolff, having to choke back tears. “I don’t know what happened. The windows and doors were shut. She might have slipped out when the kids were in and out, I don’t know.” Soca is approximately one metre in length, 24 inches to her shoulder and about 20 pounds. She has a lank, lean body with black spots, a Soca, African serval, went missing a black striped tail, and week ago. tawny coloured fur. She also has long legs. In fact, servals have the longest legs of all cats, domesticated and wild. And because of that, they can travel great distances in a short amount of time. “I’m hoping she’s hiding out in the bushes nearby, but she could be in the cornfields, or gosh she could even be in Abbotsford by now,” said Wolff. The family is feeling her loss. “She curls up next to me in bed, follows me around the house... it’s weird not having her here,” said Wolff. “I really miss her. It feels like someone is missing from our house for sure.” For two years, Wolff researched servals to make sure it was an animal that would fit with the dynamics of her family before committing. When Soca arrived, she immediately fell in love. “Servals are like a cat and dog put together in one,” said Wolff. While they have the appearance and intelligence of cats, they have the size and temperament of dogs. “She plays fetch and brings the ball back, we play tag together in the house, I take her for walks on a leash, I even toilet trained her,” said Wolff. “Servals are very, very intelligent, more so than a house cat. And they bond. She will not leave my side. When I leave the house and come back, she’s at the front door waiting for me.” Continued: CAT/ p9

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz promised “bold” action for the city’s downtown to a group of real estate and investment professionals during a tour of commercial properties on Friday. Gaetz, keynote speaker at ninth annual Chilliwack Commercial Real Estate Tour, said the city’s Downtown Revitalization Strategy is almost ready for release. And while not willing to disclose details prematurely, she said with enthusiasm: “I got to tell you, it’s bold.” The tour was organized by the Chilliwack and Area Real Estate Board, with assistance from Chilliwack Economic Partners (CEPCO). It drew real estate and business professionals from throughout the region and as far away as Whistler. The intent of the tour is to showcase investment opportunities in Chilliwack. And there are plenty, said Gaetz.

Significantly, the group boarded two large tour buses at the former site of the Empress Hotel. The land is one of several properties in the downtown owned by the city that CEPCO wants to see developed. But there are other private opportunities, like the former Safeway site on Main Street, and the former courthouse site on College Street. The Downtown Revitalization Strategy is the latest attempt to spur redevelopment in the downtown. Earlier studies estimated it would take 30 years for revitalization plans to come to fruition, Gaetz said. But that would take too long. “We want to see something in our lifetime,” she said. Chilliwack remains a good place to invest and do business, Gaetz told the group while it stopped briefly during a tour of the auction facilities at Ritchie Brothers. The city’s low tax rate and pay-as-you-go philosophy has brought significant amenities, but no debt. Meanwhile, incentives like the

But would they want a 50-year-old guy, in good physical condition, but not one of those muscular young men he’d seen on firefighter calendars? “I was 50 years old,” Liddle said. “I might be in good shape for a 50-year-old, but I couldn’t compete with that.” Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Ullyot said the fire department can “train anybody with a good attitude” and the recruitment drive is on for men and women 19 years or older to become paidon-call firefighters.

Tuesday is the last day of a recruitment drive for paid-on-call firefighters in the Chilliwack area. Some who answer the call are looking for a career in fighting fires, but others are just looking for a challenging way to give back to their community. Take Paul Liddle, for instance, a 53-year-old Ryder Lake resident who drives a school bus. Three years ago he decided to become a paid-on-call firefighter to protect lives and property in the Ryder Lake area. Why? When he turned 50, he said, he was struck by the thought that “so many of our community services are dependent on volunteers.” “But, so far, my life had been all about me,” he said. “If everybody was like me, we wouldn’t have community services ... not even an effective firefighting force.” “It was about time I did something about it,” he decided. Liddle knew Ryder Lake needed firefighters, and when he saw a recruitment sign, he knew what that “some-

News Bold action planned for city’s downtown ACTION from p4 Industrial Revitalization Strategy – which provides a tax exemptions for developers willing to commit more than a $1 million – are encouraging investment. The scale of business investment in the community was evident at the first stop on the tour, Eagle Landing. Because of construction last year the tour buses stopped on the roadside. This year, with construction complete at Walmart and Home Depot, they pulled into the parking lot of the 30,000 square-foot Galaxy Cineplex Theatre. There, David Coon, executive vice-president of the Property Development Group, announced a few new tenants for the 650,000 square-foot development, like the Bank of Montreal, a Carl’s Jr. restaurant, and a Visions Electronics store. Change was also evident farther south as the tour passed the future site of the city’s southside library. It stopped at Garrison Crossing, were the group was told about the remaining properties Canada Lands’ hopes to develop as it completes the sale of land formerly held by Canada’s military. The tour concluded back downtown with a tour of the $5 million renovation of the Coast Hotel. This Friday the tour buses will roll again. But this time it will be the Chilliwack Agricultural Commission partnering with CEPCO to highlight the city’s agriculture sector.

Soca is wearing a pink collar with a heart-shaped ID tag that has her
name and Wolff’s phone number on it. “If you see her, you might think she’s a baby cougar or a baby cheetah, or something because she is a large cat,� said Wolff. “But she’s not a wild animal.

Get out the vote It’s the level of government that touches us the most. And yet, it is often the least popular when it comes time to vote. Municipal elections are the ultimate in grassroots politics. Decisions made here can affect our neighbourhoods and the city for years to come. However, they often lack the same draw as a federal or provincial campaign. Voter turnout can be as low as 30 per cent. That’s why an initiative by the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board is so welcome. The board is unveiling this week a website aimed at stirring up interest in the municipal campaign. The website at www.thevalleyvotes.ca will feature items that will interest both voters and those seeking public office. (See story, front page.) For the voters, the site will include candidate profiles and submissions, giving them a chance to get to know the people seeking their vote. Candidates, meanwhile, can draw from public submissions to determine the issues that are generating interest in Chilliwack. The overall intent of the website, says CADREB president Mark Andersen, is to generate a public dialogue that will hopefully translate into greater voter participation. And we have lots of room for improvement. According to CADREB, Chilliwack had the ninth worst voter turnout in the province during the last election. Andersen, a former city councillor, certainly knows the important role civic politics plays in shaping a community. However, for grassroots democracy to really function it needs the full participation from those who have the opportunity to vote. Local Realtors are making it easier for us to learn more about the candidates before we cast our ballots. But they can’t do it all. It’s still up to us to exercise our responsibility and vote. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Research cuts show government’s lack of vision Environment Canada’s decision to cancel vital research programs and axe some 700 jobs is wrong thinking. The reasoning may be budget austerity measures – Treasury Board Chair Tony Clement wants to slash $4 billion from government programs - but beware being penny wise and pound foolish. Some of the axed programs include ozone research, the aircraft measurements program, and research on solar radiation. Others receiving major cuts include climate adaptation, air toxicity and air quality research. “(These cuts) really cripple Environment Canada’s ability to monitor our environment,” said Thomas Duck, atmospheric researcher and associate professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax. “People around the world are dumbfounded by what Canada is doing.”
ContactUs:
The Chilliwack
Progress
The cuts are deep and brutal and the elimination of the ozone research program could be felt globally. A national network of 17 ozone monitoring stations will be shut down along with the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre. The monitoring stations take balloon-based measurements of the atmosphere while Margaret the data centre is an EVANS international database that provides archived ozone material available to scientists internationally. This core information assesses the ozone layer that protects the planet from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Canada’s ozone monitoring data is so long-running that it is, as one scientist at the University
of Maryland put it, “...the glue that holds the satellite record together.” The loss of data means scientists won’t be able to track ozone loss as air masses moves across countries, monitor changes in recovery and assess the impacts. Cancelling the program may be in violation of the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty ratified by 196 countries and states committed to protecting and monitoring the ozone layer. Ironically, the cuts are coming at a time when, this past spring, research showed a record ozone hole over the Arctic, possibly as a result of climate change. Arctic research is absolutely critical to our safety and security and the decision to shelve the aircraft measurements program could put travellers’ safety in jeopardy. “The guys in this program are some of the foremost guys in aircraft icing issues,” stressed Duck.
“It’s important to understand how your aircraft interacts with the environment. It’s still not entirely understood. These guys are world renowned for their work and they fly in the Arctic to do measurements of the atmosphere. Yet they are cancelling the program.” Duck is involved in the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory and its primary funding source comes from the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences which, he said, has not received any new funding since 2003. Funding comes from the federal government and partner organizations yet the federal budget 2011 provided only $35 million over five years, less than half of what is needed to sustain their level of research. “For the last decade they have been the primary supporter of atmospheric research at universities in Canada,” he said. “All that

research is now without funding and we are seeing a tremendous brain drain from Canada as those people who have been supported by CFCAS leave. It’s decimating research groups across Canada.” The Harper government has put a lot of emphasis on Arctic sovereignty. But you can’t achieve that without understanding the physics of the region. Slashing environmental research is plain foolhardy. “In the long run this approach is costly,” said Duck. “You can’t identify problems in time to head them off. When you get a catastrophe, it’s much more costly to fix. Countries that understand (environmental or climate) problems and correct them or adapt to them quickly will be at a competitive economic advantage. Those who don’t will be disadvantaged. It’s wrong thinking to say cuts save money. They will (ultimately) cost a lot.”

Getting to the truth about farmed salmon At the Cohen Commission hearings, lawyers for BC, Canada and the fish farm industry were effective in diverting attention away from the truth, and this may compromise Justice Bruce Cohen in making final recommendations based on the truth. Well-respected Dr. Alexandra Morton, marine biologist, points out the truth: • Only the sockeye runs that closely passed by salmon farms collapsed. • The clinical condition and genomic evidence point to a mystery sickness that began in Chinook salmon farms on the Fraser sockeye route in the early 1990s, exactly when the sockeye began to collapse. The pale gills, swollen kidneys and tumor-like lesions were found in both the farm Chinook salmon and the sockeye. DFO scientist Dr. Kristi Miller needs to be free from political interference, restrictive bureaucratic policies, and most importantly, she needs sufficient funding to complete her research on the new genomic evidence she discovered before Justice Cohen presents his report to Prime Minister Harper. • When the Norwegian compa-
nies quietly removed the Chinook farms mid-2007, the first sockeye generation that went to sea since 1992 without being exposed to fish farms returned in historic numbers in 2010. • In 1988, the provincial government went to the Broughton Archipelago and asked the locals where they should not put salmon farms. They took that information, painted red on a map the prime habitat for wild salmon, cod, whales and other marine life. The government said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms in these red zones. The truth is they put 14 open-net salmon farms exactly in those red zones. Fish farmers like those ?red-zone? areas because lights used on these farms attract wild fish into the open-net pens. Since the farms are placed where wild fish congregate, these fish farms should be checked for unregulated capture and consumption of wild fish such as herring and migrating juvenile salmon. The truth is that fish farms placed on wild salmon migration routes pose real threats to the survival of wild salmon because they create harmful sea lice amplifica-
tion, they attempt to prevent viral infections of farmed fish with antibiotics, and control sea lice with chemicals. Viruses and bacteria are extremely adaptable. Some bacteria can now live in bleach. The stronger these enemies become, the stronger, more complicated and costly antibiotics need to be to eliminate them. Don’t let the Norwegian fish farm industry fool you with their expensive advertising assuring you they are doing no harm. This unsustainable industry wants to expand, increasing the risks that could very well bring wild salmon to extinction. Business cannot continue as usual. The weight of evidence is enough to justify removal of opennet farms, starting with the 14 fish farms in the red zones where the province said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms. A co-management regime needs to be established to include First Nations people along the Fraser River to govern the aquaculture industry to protect aboriginal rights to harvest wild salmon we have depended upon since time immemorial.

Carman cemetery celebrates 100 years Katie Bartel The Progress The cemetery at Carman United Church is not your typical, manicured cemetery. The plots are misaligned, the lawn is pocked with divots and ridges, and the stones are mismatched, faded, some have corroded rust, some have become moss habitats. After 100 years, this cemetery is oozing character. On Sept. 25, Carman United Church is celebrating its cemetery’s centennial anniversary. The hole-in-the-wall cemetery on the south side of Promontory Road was opened in 1911; two decades after Carman United Church (then a methodist church) was established. “Some people call it a pauper’s cemetery,” says Shirley Dargatz, whose grandfather George Israel Thornton was one of the founding fathers of the church. “We call it a pioneer’s cemetery.” When the cemetery was started back in 1911, it featured 12 acres of plot land. But over the years, the church has gradually sold off pieces in an effort to keep the land maintained. St. Mary’s Catholic Church purchased one of the last parcels sold in the 1950s, and built a cemetery of their own right next door. Even though the two cemeteries are separated only by three towering hemlock trees, their appearances are vastly different. While St. Mary’s is almost perfectly symmetrical featuring clean rows and proportionate, ground-level headstones, Carman’s is more like your grandparent’s attic – with well-trudged grass, headstone blemishes, and hidden treasures stashed every which way you turn. It has upright square stones, obelisk stones, ground-level stones, and stones that go the length of the coffin; a practice common in the 1930s. It has modern stones, handmade stones, brass-trimmed stones, broken stones, and one – Jaime L. Jukes, 1934-2009 – covered in happy face stickers. Happy in life. Peaceful in death, it reads. One stone has a wooden cross planted next to it, another a cement bench, and another – Mike Allan, 1966-2000 – a mountain bike tire with a piece of card stock that reads: Ride in Peace. Many are so faded, the only way of determining who the deceased were is by outlining the indented letters with your index finger. The stories on the headstones, some explicitly told, some left to the imagination, are an education in the history of Chilliwack. Walking through the grounds, you will pass names like Thornton, Watson, Wells, Bailey, Pearson, Newby – all old-time Chilliwack names, many now street names. “Many of the people buried here were loyalist descendants,” says Dargatz. Continued: CEMETERY/ p18
PHOTOS CLOCKWISE FROM THE TOP: John Sugden, manager of Carman United Church cemetery says every stone in the cemetery has a story. Carman cemetery has several personalized features added to its gravestones, including the mountain bike tire planted in front of Mike Allan’s burial. Reverend Thomas Wellington Hall was the first person interred at Carman United Church Cemetery in 1911. Over the years his gravestone had sunk down and was only recently pulled above ground. A gravestone from the 1930s that extends the length of the coffin, which was common practice. PHOTOS BY JENNA HAUCK

ElderCollege registration today Katie Bartel The Progress
8-11H PR4
Kids aren’t the only ones going back to school, seniors are too. ElderCollege is holding registration for its fall classes today (Tuesday, Sept. 20) at the Landing Sports Centre from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Coordinator Judy Becker expects at least 200 seniors signing up, many of who will start lining up two hours prior to the doors opening. “Our community has a lot of vibrant seniors who are still really interested in learning and growing,” said Becker. “I think ElderCollege fills that need.” ElderCollege is a nonprofit society that offers non-credit courses to people 50 years and older in partnership with the University of the Fraser Valley. While the courses are designed for learning, there are no tests, no homework, no pressure. “It’s purely for the joy of learning,” said Becker. The fall program has 23 courses, most of which are six weeks in length. Some of the courses, including cell phone tutorials, the science of health advice, and managing hearing loss, are specifically geared for the aging population. Others are more broad based. This year’s selection of courses include medias such as writing non-fiction, drawing, calligraphy, water colour painting, and a hitchhiker’s guide to 20th century music. There are two “classon-a-bus” field trips this semester, one will tour the CBC newsroom, and
www.theprogress.com
the other the Vancouver School of Music. ElderCollege favourites, Travel With Me and Tapestry for Thought, which both bring in a range of presenters, are also back again this semester. Most classes begin in the middle of October. For more information, contact ElderCollege 604-702-2611 or visit the website www.ufv.ca/ eldercollege.com. kbartel@theprogress.com

Craftsman donated its time and labour to refurbish and repair the vehicle, approximately an $8,000 job. The vehicle was completely repainted, body damage was repaired, and the undercarriage was reinforced. Prime Signs also helped out by donating the graphics.

No other information is provided. “My guess is the bodies of those men are not here, but someone cared about them so much, they wanted to memorialize their bodies with a stone, but I don’t really know,” says Sugden. “Even the graves with no markers have a story. Did they not want to be remembered? Did they not have enough money for a marker? Did they have a wooden marker that deteriorated. Or were they just forgotten?” With over 900 buried, plus an undetermined number of cremated ashes, and available plot land that has not yet been developed, Sugden says his imagination will be busy for many years to come. The Carman United Church Cemetery 100year celebration is on Sept. 25 at 10:30 a.m. at the church located at 7258 Vedder Road.

through Chinatown.” The obelisk headstone of Reverend Thomas Wellington Hall, who passed away on Nov. 18, 1911, is the oldest headstone in the graveyard. Hall was one of the first reverends of the church, and the cemetery’s first interred. After so many years, though, his tall, rosespeckled granite headstone had sunk down more than a foot into the soil. The stone was only recently pulled back above ground by Peter Van Der Maden, whose first wife Anne Marie is buried next to the reverend, and who has an “affinity” for the Carman cemetery. “Every one of these stones has a story and you wonder what their story was all about,” says manager John Sugden, who often tours the grounds with a broom in hand, sweeping the stones clean as he tries to piece each story together. He points to one of the stones with three names: Maisie Walters, who died in 1922, followed by “Dick and Ewie” who were killed

The Chilliwack Lunachicks raised their early-season record to 2–0 with a win over visiting Langley United on Sunday at the Tzeachten Sports Field. The Lunachicks opened the scoring seven minutes into the game when Kelly Willmets took a centering pass from Michele Julian and popped a quick shot into the lower corner of the Langley net. Willmets struck again 10 minutes later when she headed in a perfect Tamara Soeliner corner kick. Chilliwack’s third goal came when Soeliner made a run down the wing and crossed a beauty to Andrea Feaver, who headed it past the Langley keeper at the 15 minute mark of the second half. Langley United broke Chilliwack’s shutout bid at the 28 minute mark, but Janelle Cavanaugh replied with the final goal of the match, volleying in another cross from Feaver.

If you’re looking for moral victories, then Chilliwack’s 20-7 loss to the Langley Rams on Saturday night was a step in the right direction. If you’re looking for actual victories, then the local B.C. Football Conference team is still looking for a win, sporting a record of 0-7 with three games to go. The Huskers were better on the scoreboard
at Exhibition Stadium, giving the coaching staff some positives to build on. Quarterback Adann Hendrickson had one of his better games of the year, going 16-of-37 passing for 208 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Hendrickson added another 52 yards on seven carries, finishing as Chilliwack’s leading rusher. Receiver Adam Leggott had perhaps his best game of the year, catching three balls for 72 yards.

After a brief stint in West Africa, Keith and his wife, Jacqueline, decided to immigrate to Canada and eventually settled in Vancouver. He started his own company in the lumber wholesaling business and was one of the early recipients, in the 1970’s, of a hardwood timber license. Over the years he raised his family and continued working in the lumber business, owning and operating several sawmills around the province. Towards the end of his career he became a developer and built five industrial warehouses in Chilliwack, where he eventually moved to in 1987. He enjoyed sports and was an avid traveler; later in life he and Jacquie enjoyed many trips to Central America and the Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii and numerous countries in Europe. His real passion though was his garden and home; he designed and landscaped his last two homes in which he lived for the last 40 years. Keith will be dearly missed by Jacqueline, his loving wife of 55 years, his children Fiona, Nicholas (Laura) and Julia; his five grandchildren, Barrie, Andrew, Nicholas, Christopher and Chiara; his two brothers Ramsey and Derek and their families and many other friends and relatives both here and in the U.K. Many thanks to the doctors, nurses and volunteers at Abbottsford Regional Hospital and the Cascade Hospice for their kind and considerate attention. The family will hold a private service, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack.

SCOTT Stuart Stanley
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stuart Stanley Scott, a longSCOTT time resident of Agassiz, on September 16, 2011, at the age of 84. He spent the last afternoon of his life exchanging heartfelt messages with his loved ones, which in the days since have offered much comfort to his wife of 60 years, Rena; his sons Warren (Terrill) and Kelvin (Kathy) and daughter Jean (Gilles). He was much loved by his six grandchildren: Jeremy (Christa), Jesse (Lindsey), Candace (Mike), Kerri (Darrell), Alain and Eric (Janelle); and his five greatgrandchildren: Zoey, Emily, Quinton, Cohen and Aurora. Stuart also leaves to mourn his sister Fern, brother George and numerous nieces and nephews. Stuart was born the sixth of nine children to James and Louise Scott in Melfort, Saskatchewan on March 21, 1927 and moved to Chilliwack in 1934, with his parents and siblings, Lloyd, Zella, Fern, Chloe, and George. The youngest of the family, Jim, was born here. At age 21, Stuart lost his father to a heart attack and being the oldest son still at home took on a lot of the duties as head of the household, including providing guidance to his younger brothers. He maintained this role of patriarch throughout his life. Stuart was introduced to Rena Morrow in May of 1950 at the Cherry Carnival in Chilliwack this was their first meeting but they knew of each other through relatives who felt that they would make a good couple. This was indeed true as they married on November 4 of that same year and began their life together in Chilliwack. Warren was born in February of 1952, followed by Kelvin in August of ’54 and in 1957 Stuart decided to give up mink ranching and move to Agassiz to try his hand at owning and operating Scott’s Abattoir, to later be re-named Scott’s Meats Ltd. It is here in Agassiz, that daughter Jean was born in September of ’61. Stuart sold and retired from the business in 1986 and eventually moved from the farm on Scott Road into town, where he filled his days with gardening, model ship building and numerous camping/ fishing trips. These trips often became family events from which many good memories were born. Eventually Stuart became limited by his health and
many of the activities that he enjoyed became too difficult to do, however, he did continue to share his wisdom and philosophies of life for which his family will always remember and be grateful for. The family would like to thank the staff of Chilliwack General Hospital, along with, Drs. Bull and Phimister who assisted us in giving this husband, Dad and Grandpa a peaceful and dignified last day on this earth. A Service of Remembrance for Stuart will be held at the Agassiz United Church on Thursday, September 22 at 2:00 p.m. “God, grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change. The COURAGE to change the things I can. And the WISDOM to know the difference.”
(nee York) Thompson (Kucharski), Marjorie Christina (nee York) (Feb 25, 1926 Sept 15, 2011), passed away THOMPSON peacefully, surrounded by her family, after a courageous three-year battle with cancer. Predeceased by her brother John, husband Walter, and second husband Robert Thompson. Lovingly missed by her children Mike (Dale), Wendy (Carl), Gord (Deb), sister Betty, and seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Mom was born and raised in Montreal, where she married Dad shortly after WWII, and spent her early years raising a family in Aylmer, Quebec. At the end of the ‘50s, Mom, Dad and we three children moved west to BC, settling in Richmond, where Mom worked at Sears for many years. She retired to Cultus Lake in the early ‘80s, and enjoyed local life as well as many miles spent as a traveler and RV enthusiast. Family, community and church were the cornerstones of Mom’s life. A true matriarch, she presided lovingly over her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She played an integral part in all of their lives, and will continue to live on through them. Mom will be missed by her family and many friends from
