Misconduct charges stayed against local teacher But his career ‘changed forever’ by allegations: Midzain Robert Freeman The Progress Sexual misconduct charges against a Chilliwack elementary school teacher have been stayed, but the ordeal isn’t over for Jason Epp, who must now face a review by the B.C. College of Teachers. And that body has a lower standard than the criminal courts, determining wrong-doing on a “balance of probabilities” rather than “reasonable doubt.” But no matter what the college decides, Epp’s teaching career is “changed forever,” Katharin Midzain, president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association, said Thursday. “We want teachers who are abusing children out of the system, but we want a process in place to be allowed to happen before the public crucifixion begins,” she said. Chilliwack school district officials called the Chilliwack RCMP on May 4 last year to report a single allegation of sexual assault made against Epp, and he was arrested on May 12, according to a police news release. The next day, May 13, Crown counsel approved two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference of a person under 16, according to the release. But after more than a year of further police investigation, which included interviews with 130-140 students, parents and school staff, Crown counsel abruptly decided last Wednesday to stay the charges against Epp, just days before a trial scheduled for Sep. 19 was to start.

Doors opening for environmental techs Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Tana Mussell of Chilliwack has gained a whole new appreciation for the mysterious world of erosion and sediment control. She’s also stoked by the career options opening up since acquiring a new skill set from the Environmental Technician certificate course she just took. “There is nothing like waking up in the morning and being excited about learning more about this program, and about a future career,” Mussell told The Progress during the training. “I gained knowledge and skills in areas I didn’t know existed

before, like erosion and sediment control, or plant identification.” Mussell is one of several specialized trainees who just completed an intensified course by Vancouver Island University, which included a field stint in Chilliwack. It was part of a unique training partnership forged by Seven Generations Environmental Services, owned by six local Sto:lo communities with an eye to the future. The company was created in part to fill the demand for an environmental monitoring team at BC Hydro’s new Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM) Transmission Project.

Tana Mussell and Dan Kelly were two of the trainees from the Chilliwack area and surrounding Sto:lo communities, among 18 accepted into the training course. “I would like to say how grateful I am to have had some of the best instructors in B.C. training us, and how thankful I am to the six Sto:lo chiefs and to Seven Generation, for creating this extraordinary opportunity for myself and my classmates,” said Kelly. He’s hoping his background and enthusiasm will be of assistance as he takes on his new role as project supervisor. “The training really opened doors for me,” he said.

“It’s been exciting and I think it’s about time that First Nations start up their own environmental companies for themselves like this.” Mussell was recently handpicked as crew leader for the project, and said she realized, when putting together her resumé for the project, that she already had a passion for and a little research experience in the field of fish biology. “I was always interested in the environment, so this just made sense,” she explained.

News

Missing Betty but carrying on By Janis Warren Black Press Four months ago, everything was fine. Betty and Rolly Fox had booked a trip to Las Vegas, where they were going to spend some time with friends. They had planned to drive to the border, stay the night at the Comfort Inn in Bellingham and fly out the next morning. But the day they were to leave — a Friday — Betty told her husband to call for help. Rolly Fox dialled 911 and asked for an ambulance. Two arrived. The paramedics rushed her to emergency, where she stayed for a day or two before being transferred to an upper floor of the hospital. A week later, Rolly said, Betty was in the hospice, dying of gastrointestinal bleeding. The doctors couldn’t do anything about it, he said. They shared quiet times. “We didn’t talk much,” he recalled. “She was thinking about everybody, I’m sure. She couldn’t believe what was happening to her. She was in a state of shock. “We all were.”

‘There were no signs’ Betty Fox, the most prominent figure in her son, Terry’s, legacy, died on June 17. She was 73. Betty and Rolly would have marked their 55th wedding anniversary next month.

‘This is what one family can do,’ says mayor $550 million raised by the Terry Fox Foundation Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Rolly Fox sits by a photo of son, Terry, and wife, Betty, in his Chilliwack home. Rolly says he doesn’t like being at home now after Betty died in June. He’ll be in Port Coquitlam on Sept. 18 for the annual Terry Fox Run. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

In his first interview since her funeral, Rolly told Black Press he’s having a tough time coping with his wife’s unexpected death. “Six months ago, I never thought I’d be in this position today,” he said, chatting at the BC/Yukon foundation office in PoCo an hour after visiting the cemetery where Terry and Betty are buried. “Six months ago, Betty was very healthy, as far as I knew. There were no signs of this coming.” Rolly met his “best friend” in Winnipeg, Man., where he worked

as a conductor for CN Rail. The couple had three boys, Fred, Terry and Darrell, but Betty wanted a girl. Judith arrived in 1964. Rolly yearned to raise his family in a warmer climate and liked B.C. After a little negotiation, he started working for the rail company on May 6, 1966, in the Vancouver and Surrey yards. Betty and the kids came out the next month by train, and they lived in rented home in Surrey. They got word new homes were being built in PoCo, a CP Rail town,

and the couple bought 3337 Morrill St. They raised their four children there and had a regular family life, Rolly recalled. But in March 1977, Terry was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma and had his right leg amputated above the knee. Three years later, the Foxes were thrust in the national spotlight when Terry took on his cross-country Marathon of Hope with the aim of collecting $1 from every Canadian for cancer research. During the historic journey, the Toronto

Star brought Rolly and Betty to Ontario for a surprise visit. The newspaper captured the happy reunion with Terry in Whitby: the photo shows Betty holding tight to her son’s waist and Terry smiling from ear to ear. Betty loved the picture and displayed it in her home. Rolly used it as the front of her funeral program. After Terry died of cancer in 1981, Rolly said his boy’s name would pop up now and then: at a memorial bench at Stanley Park, where Terry was to end

his Marathon of Hope, and on a Coast Guard icebreaker anchored in the waters off Halifax, where Rolly and Betty had been a few years ago for a stop on a national tour of the Marathon of Hope van. Rolly calls those encounters “coincidences” but feels Terry’s watching him from above — as is Betty now.

‘I won’t say no’ He misses her deeply. “I always thought I’d Continued: ROLLY/ p21

Funding for middle school playgrounds confusing Katie Bartel The Progress Last week when the B.C. government announced three schools in Chilliwack would be receiving $50,000 to build new playgrounds, some parents were shocked at the school selections. G.W. Graham middle secondary, Vedder middle and Rosedale traditional will each be receiving $50,000 for new playgrounds; funding which was made available through government capital funds. Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner was pleased with the announcement. “Playgrounds are such an integral part of our child-

hood,” he said in a press release. “I know that they will help students and children in our community to create many lasting memories.” Those words rang hollow for parents at Bernard elementary. For two years the innercity school has been trying to raise enough funds to replace its intermediate playground, which has been condemned by the school district and will be removed at the end of the school year whether or not enough funding for a new one is in place. Deana Reid, vice president of the school’s parents’ advisory council, understood the allotment for Rosedale

traditional, a kindergarten to Grade 9 school, but not for a middle school and a middlesecondary school. The youngest students at middle schools are Grade 7 students. “Those kids are more into hanging out, chatting, playing sports,” said Reid. “But here we have a true elementary school with an age group that will actually use the playground.” A spokesperson from the Ministry of Education said the schools were identified by the school district as having the most need for playgrounds. However, when contacted by The Progress, the school

district was also confused by the school selection. “We don’t quite understand why certain schools were chosen,” said superintendent Michael Audet. Last spring, Chilliwack school district had completed two surveys for the Ministry of Education, prioritizing the needs of the district. And while Audet, wouldn’t go into detail as to what might have gone wrong, he said he will be communicating with ministry officials as to why these schools were chosen over others. In the meantime, with approximately $8,000 raised and a minimum of $25,000 required for a small play-

ground structure, Bernard elementary continues its fundraising efforts. “It’s disappointing, but as a school that has gone through this for years and not getting anything, we don’t count on it,” said Reid, noting that the PAC had fundraised for five years to replace its primary playground five years ago, and received no help from the government. “If we get funding, oh my God, that would be wonderful, but it’s not something we hold out hope for because we’ve been let down so many times.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

It was a poignant moment. A special thank you went out the Terry Fox family from Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz in council chambers Tuesday. Rolly Fox was in attendance in chambers along with local Terry Fox Run organizer Margaret Kostrzewa to warmly welcome council members to join the run on Sept. 18. “This is what one family can do,” Gaetz said recognizing the $550 million raised over the years by the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research. She called the family’s gift “inconceivable” in its scope. “It all started with Terry Fox, and everyone should be heartened by what he did.” Gaetz also acknowledged how tough a year it’s been for the family, with the recent passing of Terry’s mother, Betty Fox, earlier this summer and presented a book of condolences written by citizens and collected at city hall. “We’re so thankful you made Chilliwack your home,” Gaetz said to Terry’s dad, Rolly Fox. “Betty and I always wanted to live in Chilliwack,” he said. They made the move in 2003, and relocated the foundation headquarters here as well. “What an amazing family and what an amazing legacy Terry and Betty have left,” said Gaetz. It’s always a wellattended charity run. “I want to encourage everyone in the community to come on out and support it,” said the mayor. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Despite the BC Teachers’ Federation being ordered to remove provincial matters from the local bargaining table, the Chilliwack teachers’ union still hopes more bargaining issues can be discussed locally. Labour Relations Board (LRB) arbitrator Marguerite Jackson ruled in favour of the BC Public School Employers’ Association, stating all provincial matters and proposals be taken off the local table. Under the Public Employer Labour Relations Act (PELRA) negotiations dealing with anything involving money, including salaries, benefits, prep time, paid leave, and hours of work are to be done at the provincial table. Chilliwack school district superintendent Michael Audet was pleased with the decision. “The BCTF, through its local unions, had unilaterally attempted to move a number of issues

that had already been defined as provincial back to the local bargaining table, but the arbitrator has now directed that cannot happen,” said Audet. “This was a move to add things and we’re not prepared to go there. BCPSEA and the LRB have affirmed we don’t have to go there.” However, because the province has 60 school districts, some in urban centres, others in remote, rural areas, Katharin Midzain, president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association, continues to affirm local issues should be discussed at the local table. “We recognize everything in the school district costs money, but there are many issues that do not involve money,” said Midzain. “There are items unique to each local ... we feel strongly that there are some we should be able to discuss locally.” Last spring the CTA put forward 20 issues it believed should be discussed at the local table; BCPSEA denied 18 of them. Some of the issues included

job-share language, parental complaint processes, and updating the professional development language to “better reflect what we’re actually doing.” “We feel there is a place for local discussions that go beyond the limits of PELRA,” said Midzain. As part of the arbitrator ruling, BCTF was directed to submit a list of key provincial matters at the local tables to BCPSEA by Sept. 5, and a list of proposals by Sept. 16. As of Wednesday, Midzain was still awaiting direction from the BCTF. B.C. teachers are currently in Phase 1 of job action, which means they are refusing administrative and ministry mandated services, which includes such things as filling out forms, collecting data, meeting with principals or other administrators, supervising on playgrounds, and writing report cards.

News RCMP plead for author of Pedersen letter to come forward Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack RCMP investigators are hoping an anonymous letter received early last week may lead to a break in the case of 10-year-old Jo-Anne Pedersen, who went missing more than 28 years ago. “The Chilliwack RCMP believe that the author of this anonymous letter is a witness to the events leading up to the disappearance of Jo-Anne Pedersen,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said in a news release. “It is imperative that the police speak to this witness as soon as possible,” she said. “The letter does contain information that we find significant, and that we would like to know more about,” Hollingsworth said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “That’s why we’re pleading… for this person to come forward.” Pedersen was last seen on Feb. 19, 1983, at about 8:20 p.m. at the Penny Pinchers convenience store that once stood at the corner of Watson Road and Vedder Road in Sardis. “Jo-Anne made a call from the phone booth asking her parents to pick her up because she was locked out of the house,” Hollingsworth said. “By the time her parents arrived at the store, Jo-Anne was gone and has not been seen or heard from since.” Witnesses at the time reported seeing a man in the phone booth with

Pedersen. B u t police have never been able to identify this man, even though investigators now believe he was only trying to help the youngster. In Febr u a r y, Jo-Anne Pedersen 2008, the went missing more R C M P than 28 years ago. launched a major video re-enactment of the disappearance on television and the internet, in hope that it would bring more information. But nothing came from that effort and the case has gone cold — until now. “We don’t know what prompted this (letter),” Hollingsworth said. “We’re just interested in finding out more.” Anyone with information about the investigation or the letter is asked to call Const. Justine Hayward at the Chilliwack RCMP’s serious crime unit at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

News A day dedicated to the power of hope A special community event focused on the power of hope is being held Sept. 10, on World Suicide Prevention Day at the Sto:lo Nation site. Hosted by Aboriginal Child and Youth Mental Health, the community celebration is called ‘Let’s Hope Together: Celebrating Life with Community and Ceremony.’ “It’s fitting to host this special event on the Stó:lo Nation grounds, especially at the Stó:lo Resource Centre because suicide impacts everyone — all cultures and all races,” says Megan Bissky, Outreach Worker for Aboriginal Child and Youth Mental Health in Chilliwack says. “Our goal is to bring people together to talk about it and support

each other.” Organizers, along with community partners, the Longhouse Extension Program from Stó:lo Nation are proud to be part of a heartfelt day, she said. “Let’s Hope Together” was the

motto chosen by the organizers because the theme for World Suicide Prevention Day in 2011 is ‘Preventing Suicide in Multicultural Societies.’ The Saturday Sept. 10 event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the

Sto:lo Resource Centre on Vedder Road with suicide prevention presentation, in memory ceremony, salmon lunch, cedar crafts, and candlelight vigil. Ever yone is welcome to attend the free gathering.

from Caroline Harder at the Chilliwack Academy of Music from the time that I was 12 until I was 19. I competed at the Lions Music Festival five years in a row and went to the provincials twice. Caroline has been a driving force in my life. She gave me confidence and I’m so

grateful to her for that,” she said. She enjoyed a rather happy childhood. Emily, along with her brother and two sisters spent a lot of time in the backyard of the family home taking part in imagination games; somewhat a foreshadowing of her future passion. She

was an avid reader and admits that she could read a book in a day. “I read a lot,” she stressed. “I used to go to bed with a flashlight and just read until I couldn’t read anymore.” Her father was quite musical and for as long as she can remember, he played in the church choir. “He also had a band in the ‘70s called ‘Noddies’. “Dad is a huge Beatles fan and his band played Beatles music and feel-good ‘70s rock. He converted the den in the basement into a recording studio and the band recorded albums there. As kids, we’d go in there and try things out,” she said with a chuckle. At first, Emily thought that she might like to be a marine biologist but sharks terrified her. She decided to go with another plan. “My thoughts then turned to that of becoming a vet. I realized, though, that I didn’t want to put animals down, so I gave up on that too,” she laughed. She then turned her sights to the stage. At the age of 12, Emily became involved in singing theatre and acting as part of the Academy of Music’s Summer Theatre program. “We did scenes from Oliver and other musicals.” At the age of 16, her father drove her to the hamlet of Rosebud, a tiny community about 35km southwest of Drumheller, nestled in a cozy river valley, winding through wheat fields and magnificent badlands. It is also a vibrant arts community visited by over 40,000 Continued: ANA/ p9

Making Customers for Life “The best advice I ever got was to call Musicworx” There are so many details to take care of when you’re setting up a new restaurant. Atmosphere and ambiance are an important part of the recipe for success. Jim and the Musicworx team were a huge help to me and my staff in the design and installation of our audio/video systems at both Frankies Italian Kitchen & Bar and the Rinkside Bar & Grill at Prospera Centre. Jim’s advice is well considered and their follow-up service is exceptional. He’s here at a moment’s notice if we’ve had a power outage or something needs adjusting. It feels like a partnership and that’s how I like to do business. I wouldn’t shop anywhere else for electronics!

Invest in education It’s back to school week. Sort of. Because this first week of school will be unlike any other. Oh sure, kids and parents are being jolted out of their lazy routines of summer to a new regime of early alarms, hasty breakfasts and packing lunches. Traffic in and around school zones is hectic, as parents drop off and retrieve their charges. School playgrounds, silent and mostly deserted for the past two months, are suddenly alive again with excited chatter and screeches as kids burn off the energy that builds up during long sessions cooped up in classrooms. But beneath the facade, there is tension. In their bid to negotiate a new contract with the provincial government, teachers are working to rule. That means they’re not attending staff meetings or communicating with their administrators. They’re not keeping watch over the playgrounds during recess. They’re not scheduling meetings with parents. If the dispute carries on, the teachers say they won’t produce report cards. Given the gap between the demands of the B.C. Teachers Federation and the government’s determination to hold the line on public sector wage increases, there’s every indication the impasse will continue, even escalate. Once again, kids are caught in the middle. The teachers say their demands aren’t just monetary; they want to improve the quality of education they’re able to provide by having fewer students in every classroom and more services for children with special needs. The government says it can’t afford the teachers’ demands, monetary and otherwise. Yet it has no such concern about spending half a billion dollars on a retractable roof for BC Place Stadium, a facility many say was already obsolete years ago. Quality education is too valuable a commodity to become a bargaining chip. An investment in kids today is an investment in the province’s future. ~ Black Press

Tough sales tax choices remain VICTORIA – Bill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to. Remember, this is the guy who once figured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress. Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that

helped B.C. institute the HST. The finance ministry provided some details to get a better sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 businesses in B.C. that switched their accounting and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and software on hand in anticipation of having to switch Tom back. FLETCHER Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses that start up each month in B.C. Assuming most of that continues, by the time the federal and provincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thousands of businesses that have no experience dealing with the

PST. They’re in for an unpleasant surprise. Here’s one example. Smart Tax Alliance co-chair Mike Jagger got involved in the effort to defend the HST because of his experience running a security company in Vancouver. Due to the ambiguous nature of the PST rules, he got expert advice on how to pay the tax. Three different experts gave him three different answers. You have probably heard by now that after the rejection of the HST by 55 per cent of voters, the PST is to be reinstated as it was before July 2010. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon vowed, “I can assure British Columbians PST will not be applied to such items as restaurant meals, bikes and gym memberships – just as it was before the HST was introduced in B.C.” That sounds pretty definitive.

But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a simple answer with sales taxes. For instance, should B.C. reduce tobacco taxes by seven per cent? Unless you’re a smoker, you probably didn’t notice that the HST raised the price of cigarettes by that amount. Tobacco was PST exempt, with the province historically having chosen to impose a separate “sin tax” instead. Liquor taxes also went down under HST, from a 10-percent provincial tax to seven per cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribution Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking. The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy decisions that still must

be made, with the province still in deficit. • A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored. In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-efficient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbon-efficient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances. The centerpiece of that budget was the carbon tax.

Campbell to thank for changes Re: Readers Write, Sept. 1, ‘Stop Whining about HST loss’ by Ken Pugh. Ken, please consider reality and facts before making comments. The HST referendum result is drastically short of what would have been needed to the kill the tax if former premier Campbell had not changed the “threshold for success” under the Recall and Initiative Act brought in under the former provincial NDP government. Under the initial rules, fight

HST would have needed 50 per cent of all eligible voters or about 1.5 million people to vote in favour of killing the tax for the HST to be scrapped. If the rules had been applied, the Aug. 26, 2011 tally would have failed by more than 640,000 votes. Bill VanderZalm thanked former premier Campbell for these changes because if they were not made, there is no way the HST would have been defeated. Adrian Dix on the other hand,

has chosen not to comment on this topic as the old rules were initiated by the former NDP government. Dalton McGuinty, premier of Ontario who also brought in the HST on July 1, 2010, commented after the HST vote in B.C. that as “steady as she goes, HST has stabilized the Ontario economy, more new jobs this year than the rest of Canada. We have the advantage.”

‘No overnight camping’ signs needed Chilliwack Lake Road has been taken over by campers that camp on the side of the road. It is my understanding that there is no overnight stays unless in a designated camping site, which there are a few. Yes, the camping upset me for many reasons. Walking trails are now blocked and can

not be used. The main reason is the things that are being left behind. The garbage. Not just paper plates and food wrapper but also broken glass and tree branches that have been cut down. The worst is the human waste. Yes, the poop. Wherever you look all you see in toilet tissue. I mean every-

where. I am wondering who is going to go and do the big clean up of these man-made camping spots. The city? Please, this has to stop. Place more signs up and down the road stating that there are no overnight camping unless in a designated camping site. Tammy Charlie

Kudos for photo contest participants, judges The Friends of the Chilliwack Library, extend a big thank you to all the participants who entered our recent Photo Contest. It is wonderful to see so many people casting keen eyes around their surroundings, and snapping pictures to share their ‘finds’ with others. A big thank you to judges Barry Stewart, Jenna Hauck and Paul Henderson, all of whom have again taken on that task. Barry has volunteered to do the job since our first contest, and the others have joined the ranks over the past few years. To our judges, we truly appreciate your

giving of your time and expertise to help each year at this time. Have you ever wondered how the judging is done for the FOCL photo contest? Each judge views all the categories and makes a decision as to which three photos in each category are his/her favourites… looking at all the important things that a photograph should have, plus what the photo ‘says’ to the judge. Then the fun starts. The judges spread their personal favourites onto a table. If all three choose the same photo as a favourite, then things go smoothly. However, if all three choose different photos,

the dickering begins as to which photo should take precedence over another. It certainly isn’t easy, because being individuals, each judge has his/her own reason as to why choices are made. As a bystander, it is very interesting to hear how the winning decisions are made. Thanks to everyone for taking part in 2011’s photo contest. We hope to have entries from lots of amateur photographers again next year. Enid Kulesh, Friends of the Chilliwack Library

Calvin drove him to the hospital and waited with him in emergency until my mom arrived. (I was out of town at the time.)

50 YEARS

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS RICH HISTORY. BRIGHT FUTURE.

CELEBRATE WITH US.

In 1961, we were a handful of people gathered in a small Main Street storefront. Today, we are a large, established and healthy family of believers that do life together. Our stories are as unique as the different cultures and generations we come from, yet they share the same central theme: Jesus Christ is still transforming lives.

Throughout this season, we will be celebrating in many different ways, beginning THIS SUNDAY with “Church In The Park” and culminating the weekend of November 18-20 with an evening banquet and a very special Sunday service. We invite any and all to join us, and especially those that have been connected to City Life Church in some way over the past years.

This fall, City Life Church (formerly Glad Tidings Fellowship) celebrates its 50th anniversary. This signiﬁcant milestone marks half a century of inﬂuence, leadership and ministry in this city and across the planet. We invite you to join us as we remember where we’ve been and honour our past, while looking with anticipation toward the next 50 years.

STUFF YOU MAY NOT KNOW. City Life Church will be launching two services starting in January 2012. Join us for either our 9 AM or 11 AM Sunday morning gatherings. Come early for a latte or a scone from our brand new coffee shop (opening November 2011). In ﬁfty years of existence, we’ve had only two different lead pastors. Pastors Dave and Fran Huebert launched and led City Life Church for 36 years. Lorne and Linda Lueck are our current lead pastors and have led City Life Church for 13 years. We honour these couples for ﬁfty years of integrity, stability and wisdom.

Free BBQ lunch, inﬂatable games, special music, kids zone, family activities, and lots more. All are welcome.

City Life Church has always placed an emphasis on global missions work. For ﬁfty years we have sent and supported work in many countries. In the past ﬁve years alone we have been involved in the Philippines, Brazil, Ghana, Paraguay, Mexico, Ukraine, Pakistan, Uganda, Vietnam, Romania, Haiti and more.

We changed our name for a reason. We’re still the same church with the same leaders and values, but the decision to change our name from Glad Tidings Fellowship to City Life Church is reﬂective of our decision to become an even more integral part of the life of our city. City Life Church has many different ministries that are impacting lives in Chilliwack. Visit our website to learn more about Highroad Academy, our K-12 school, the Master’s Commission, our young adult leadership program, City Life Centre, our new city outreach ministry, or one of the many other areas we’re serving the people of our city. We love to worship God. City Life Church has always had a strong emphasis on music, praise and worship. Our Sunday morning worship expresses timeless truths in a timely way by combining well-written music, well-trained musicians, modern technology and a passion for Jesus Christ.

Valley Express shut down by ministry can resume the weekend service in “early October,” and possibly offer a daily bus run to the Surrey SkyTrain station as well. “I don’t foresee a problem getting the licence,” he said. Branch officials were not available for comment at press time Wednesday. The weekend service that left downtown Chilliwack at 7:15 a.m. and arrived in downtown Vancouver at about 9 a.m., after a stop in Abbotsford, was a hit, according to riders who contacted The Progress “They offered a price of $7 one-way, and $10 return, a bargain compared to the alternative,” said one rider, who also praised Valley Express for its “convenient” departure and arrival times and for the “dependability” of its service.

The Progress The Valley Express weekend bus service from Chilliwack to Vancouver has been shut down by the B.C. government because of a “misunderstanding” over licensing. “We were made to believe the licence was ‘dormant,’” company CEO Steve Voteary said Wednesday, and would require only a notice for “re-activation.” But in fact, the licence had expired and last weekend the company was ordered by the transportation ministry’s passenger transportation branch to “cease and desist” the bus service immediately. Voteary said he hopes a new licence will be approved soon, and the company

company had the ridership for a viable service, and the decision had been made to continue past its original Labour Day cut-off date. “We were constantly seeing ridership in the upper teens and lower twenties,” he said. “We were very excited.” But on the final weekend, the company received the notice to shut down the service because its licence had expired. Voteary said officials at the passenger transportation branch apparently didn’t see the company’s notice to re-activate the licence, so the matter could have been dealt with earlier. “It was a sheer misunderstanding,” he said. “We accept our responsibility for it.”

But there were only three really hot days in August, compared to the average seven, the lowest number in over 28 years, he said. Temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius on only two days after mid-month.

Progress Contributor The garden giants of spring colour are giving way to their smaller cousins that actually repeat their performance year after year and leave a very soft footprint of dying and unsightly foliage. Yes, the big tulips, narcissus and hyacinths provide a great splash of colour and are important in the right locations, but minor bulbs offer us a subtle accompaniment to so many other spring plants and can make our gardens truly spectacular. Snowdrops and crocuses are growing in popularity because they are old fashioned favourites and easy to plant. They perennialize readily almost anywhere in the garden to create an ever expanding display each year. The tiny yellow buttercup-like winter aconite (Eranthis cilicica) is one bulb that sneaks ahead to bloom even before snowdrops. Its touch of yellow is a true spring inspiration during the cold grey months of January and February. It multiplies nicely among ground

covers but looks particularly charming with dark ajugas, like ‘Black Scallop’, dark foliaged thymes and compact, almost black heucheras, like H. ‘Obsidian’. In recent years, more varieties of grape hyacinths (muscari) have been introduced into the marketplace than perhaps any other bulb. Blue is a refreshing contrast colour for so many other plants and bulbs, especially those with golden or red foliage. There are some recent innovations that I think are truly spectacular. Muscari ‘Mt. Hood’ has clear blue flowers with snowcapped white tops. In clusters they look sensational as do the similar M. neglectum with their dark blue flowers rimmed in white. If you love a little perfume, the first yellow variety, M. ‘Golden Fragrance’, is quite an attention getter. These are all long blooming, mid-season varieties. There are a couple of quite pleasing later varieties. Muscari ‘Plumosum’ is a very large blue flowered variety that is very unique and M. comosum is a lavender coloured wispy variety that is

Reg. $16.00 and up

so late it blooms with the alliums. Muscari ‘Valerie Finnis’ is a very unique soft blue that lifts any combination. All muscari need to be planted in groupings for the best effect, and they look great underplanted around dwarf forsythia and corylopsis (the variety well known as Buttercup Winter Hazel). We love scillas in our own gardens simply because they bloom in May when most other bulbs are finished, providing a refreshing lift. The blues are nice but I must admit that the white and pink Scilla campanulatas are fabulous. The pink, in particular, adds a new and important colour to our gardens. They multiply well too and yes, they even have a perfume. So many folks who ask for old fashioned English bluebells are not quite sure what to request in terms of getting the right bulb. Well, Scilla nutans is the true English bluebell that thrives best in light shade and blooms over a long period of time. One personal favourite is the little bulb puschkinia. These tiny pure white bulbs with pin striped blue flowers are incredibly bright and cheery in March landscapes. They look great with miniature yellow

daffodils or dwarf red tulips, and they bloom a long while. From a distance they look like soft blue clumps that spice up any border or rockery. Alliums are such a treat in June and July gardens, adding another fresh look as summer annuals get settled in. There are so many varieties but the yellow Allium moly luteum, the bell-like pink and fragrant A. bulgarium and A. ‘Drumstick’ (A. sphaerocephalum) are my favourite tiny flowered varieties. No garden should be without A. schubertii and A. christophii for sheer wonderment of their intricately woven flower heads that last for weeks. It’s okay to show off a little and no June garden should be without a few of the big guys like A. giganteum and the even larger A. ‘Globemaster’. They look magnificent blooming among variegated grasses like Miscanthus ‘Variegatus’ and Phalaris ‘Fersey’s Form’. They will also draw the most admiring comments about your garden. These are just a few of the magical colours that could appear in your garden next spring and for many springs to come if you take a little time and effort to plant them this month.

assures us that bear, wolves, lynx, wolverine, porcupines and yes, moose, live in the Arctic taiga around us. But today they’re hiding. As much as we would love to see a postcard-perfect Canadian moose, we three visitors are pretty happy with our stay. We left Yellowknife via floatplane to land at Yellow Dog Lodge and sure enough, before the engines had stopped on the Air Tindi Cessna 208, Casey, a large, friendly Labrador retriever, had wagged his way down the wharf. (I noticed that Casey, the perfect host, said goodbyes to the group leaving before turning his full attention to us.) Everything about Yellow Dog Lodge was welcoming: the lack of formalities, the cabins,

Meridian Writers’ Group YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T.— Gord Gin does not give up easily. We are cruising Graham Lake in the Northwest Territories, desperately seeking moose. Our small group includes Kay from Australia who, no surprise, has only heard stories of the largest species of the deer family that may weigh more than 300 kilograms and top two metres in height. She wants to see one. In a small boat, under a bright blue sky, we motor into serene bays, constantly scanning the shoreline for signs of wildlife. Gin is our host at Yellow Dog Lodge, a fly-in fishing lodge about 55 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife. He

the lakes and the fact that you couldn’t see another sign of civilization. Gord and Kathy Gin took over the lodge in 2006. In the 1970s it had been owned by Duncan Pryde, a fur trader, member of the territorial legislature and author of Nunaga, My Land, My Country, a story about life with the Inuit. Pryde was one of those larger-thanlife northerners. There are plenty of tales about him; Gord related a few one morning as we hiked. Accompanied by Casey we did a loop, starting uphill on crunchy moss, through stands of spruce, past juniper and wild cranberry bushes. We stopped on rocky ledges and looked down at the Continued: NWT/ p21

lodge and the lakes. Later we trolled for trout on Duncan Lake. In less than 10 minutes, two of us caught silvery, oneto-two-kilogram fish. Then Gord did what is apparently mandatory on a fishing trip: he brought out the beer and we bobbed in the boat, pondering such important questions as would the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline ever be built in this peaceful neck of the woods and why weren’t more fish biting? It was a great morning, rounded off by having those fish we did catch for lunch back at the lodge. As for our moose hunt, we were unsuccessful. But when we cruised up a marshy channel of the Nicholson River we did get to hop out and hike to a waterfall tumbling from yet another peaceful lake. Two things to note about a trip to the Northwest Territories: this is the place to go if you are starved for sunshine; in summer it averages 23 hours of daylight. And don’t even think of hiking without a net over your head—I swear the mosquitoes save themselves for visitors.

‘I won’t say no to anything’: Rolly Fox to crowds, admits he hasn’t got the gift of the gab and “I don’t see replacing her as a speaker,” he said. “She was very good at what she did. But I won’t back down on anything that I’m asked to do [by the foundation]... If I’m asked to go here or there, I won’t say no to

anything. “Betty used to say that if she didn’t do things right, Terry’s leg would trip her up. Now, I say, ‘If I don’t do things right, there are two people looking down on me.’ “So I’ve got to make sure I do it right.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

be going ahead of her,” Rolly said, adding, “I don’t stay in the house very much. Everybody says that will wear off. I’m sure it will but, right now, it’s hard.” He spends time at the Royal Canadian Legion, where he can talk to another widower who lost his wife two weeks after Betty passed. Rolly admits he’s putting off things that need to be sorted out. His daughter, two daughters-in-law and six granddaughters want to help with her personal belongings, Rolly said. And he wants to find some items Betty tucked away, especially Terry’s memorabilia: Rolly has never seen Terry’s diary from the Marathon of Hope and he’s unsure of the location of the jug of Atlantic Ocean water Terry collected on the first day of his voyage with Doug Alward on April 12, 1980. Parting with some of Terry’s keepsakes for a future Terry Fox Museum may be in the cards, he said. “We’re thinking about it. There’s talk about it.

That’s all I can say right now.” In the meantime, Rolly plans to keep busy. On Sept. 18, he’ll be at the Terry Fox Hometown Run in PoCo. “I think she would be happy that I’m here,” he said. He’ll also be at the unveiling of the author and artist Douglas Coupland’s new Terry Fox memorial at BC Place later this month, and in St. John’s, NL, next April, where officials will show off a new statue of Terry. The Terr y Fox Foundation, the volunteer-driven, family run charity that has collected more than $500 million is also on his mind. Rolly wonders how he can replace Betty, who was the main face of the organization and spent weeks away from home to talk to schools and groups about Terry’s dream of beating cancer.

Perspectives Is it a catastrophe, or just something disappointing and unpleasant?

2011 GENERAL LOCAL ELECTION ELECTORAL AREA DIRECTORS

Parents do it. Kids do it. Maybe not everybody does it, but it’s very common. I’m referring to catastrophizing, the fifth of the “cognitive distortions” that my colleagues Marie Amos and Eryn Wicker have been reviewing. Cognitive distortions are patterns of interpreting events and experiences in a flawed way. They often create more problems in our lives. Thus far we discussed fortune tell-

ing, superstitious thinking, over-generalizing and emotional reasoning. You may know the expression, “get your head straight”. Routing out cognitive distortions is a step in the right direction. Catastrophizing takes it’s meaning from the root word, catastrophe. In catastrophizing, we interpret events through a lens of what’s the worst that could happen. Catstrophizers have skills in risk man-

pitches. “It more exciting that way. I do the Patsy Cline show and it’s great but the novelty wears off, and I’m looking for what’s next.” It’s a monumental show to pull off, with 14 different costumes and wigs to fight with. “It’s a one-woman show but I need someone to help with all the zippers,” she says. “It’s like running a marathon.” Kilroe has energy to pull it off, plus a fetish for costume changes. Even at family gatherings she’ll bring three separate outfits, sporty, dressy and casual. She’s honed her chops in recent years, performing in casinos and on cruise ships with Celebrity Impostors, and was inducted into the Merritt Mountain Music Festival walk of fame in the 2003 Laugh-A-Fair. Kilroe doesn’t want to scare anyone but she loves audience participation. If you’d rather die than be asked to come up on stage, it’s best to be sitting in the middle or back of the concert hall, she quips. “I love to involve people,” she says. “It’s you, me and we’re together. I love doing a little improv.” She doesn’t even mind the hecklers. Something always goes wrong, and that’s funny, too. “I always say, ‘Thank God it’s comedy.’ It’s the fast pace I try and keep up, with 45-second costume changes.” “But I really enjoy connecting with people in the audience, and I tend to go out and meet folks as everyone from Mae West to Lady Gaga.” It’s all about having a

The Progress It’s going to be a “parade of parodies” from Vaudeville to Vegas, says entertainer Bonnie Kilroe. “Get ready for a big production,” she tells The Progress. “This show is really special.” Kilroe was a hit with her Patsy Cline show in Chilliwack back in May, and vowed she’d be coming back with her big Vegas show. Now she’s returning Sept. 24 to present Divas: Vaudeville meets Vegas, with more than a dozen superstar tributes. She’s pulling out all the stops. “I do everyone,” she says. Marilyn, Cher, Dolly, Tina, Liza, Barbara, Madonna, Lady Gaga. And even Sarah Palin. Yes, the former U.S. presidential candidate is one of her new characters. She listened to Palin on video and got her voice down. “I was watching Sarah Palin on TV one day, and it occurred to me, I could probably look very much like her. I grabbed my Céline Dion wig, gave it a trim, and thought, ‘This is her.’ There was instant combustion. “Her way of speaking and mannerisms, as well as her accent and politics are so easy to animate. She’s a fun character to make fun of.” A combo of humour and musical talent make her a “farce” to be reckoned with, she quips. She won’t be lip-synching or faking it. She’s the real deal, singing live, in a wide range of voices and F I N E

Singer-songwriter Debbie Bergeron is back at Bozzini’s Sept. 15 with a captivating show called Songs and Stories. It’s a return engagement for the popular local recording artist, after last year’s sold-out show at the upstairs lounge. She’ll be playing everyone’s favourites, accompanied by guitarist Jeff Bowman. Bergeron has always remained true to herself and she delves deep into her country gospel roots for inspiration. Playing intimate songwriter showcases at the Nashville Bluebird Café, Opry Mills Gibson Debbie Bergeron Café, to headlining B.C. festivals and fairs like the Abbotsford Agri-Fair five years running, she makes a point of giving it her all and her authenticity rings true. When not busy with charity work, she’s producing local concerts, such as the one at the old Arts Centre, or at UFV Chilliwack, or belting the national anthems at Nat Bailley Stadium, Stetson Bowl at the Cloverdale Rodeo, and Ride to Live in Chilliwack for Prostate Cancer. Take some time to enjoy her clear and strong voice again, and discover the artist through heartfelt songs from her last three albums.

Local bluegrass star Trisha Gagnon can now claim the title of world champion jam-maker. A precious jar of her organic raspberry jam was bubble-wrapped earlier this summer and shipped on a journey to Perthshire Scotland, where it just captured the â&#x20AC;&#x153;World Jampionshipâ&#x20AC;? award. Gagnon, who sings and plays upright bass with John Reischman and the Jaybirds, has been selling her jam at her gigs for the past eight years. Boysenberry, blackberry, and strawberry jam as well as her grape jelly, have become very popular with discerning fans. This July she prepared her entry in the artisan jam-maker category and came in first place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is even more incredible is that I won

best overall the entries, and now have the title of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Overall Jampion: Berry Best Raspberry Jam in the World!â&#x20AC;? she says. She received the news by email Saturday night from Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was notified by the competition organizers and I was excited because they were excited.â&#x20AC;? That part of Scotland is well-known for its wonderful berries and preserves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like going to France and winning the baguette making contest.â&#x20AC;? So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her secret to making exceptionally delicious berry jam? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grow my own berries here at the farm in Chilliwack. I tend the vines and handpick the fruit myself.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been growing organic food for a long time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spend many long hours pruning and picking, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also where I sing songs and think of

News

‘Jason has been crucified in the media,’ says Midzain EPP from FRONT Harvey told the court that as the police investigation progressed, questions arose and the Crown concluded it had a “legal, moral and ethical duty” to stay the charges. Van Tongeren Harvey declined to detail those questions outside the courtroom, and referred reporters to justice branch staff in Victoria. Spokesperson Samantha Hume said as the police investigation continued over the last 15 months, Crown counsel concluded “we did not in fact have a substantial likelihood of conviction,” the stan-

dard by which charge approval is made. Neither Hume nor van Tongeren Harvey would comment on details of what information came to light that led the Crown to stay the charges. Midzain said she believes the case was “handled very poorly” and a thorough investigation should have been conducted before charges were approved and the incident made public. “Jason has been crucified in the media,” as a result, she said. “We have to protect children first,” she said, but Epp may have been caught in the “eye of the

storm” of controversy over the case of a Coquitlam elementary school teacher who had been charged with similar sex offences earlier that month. “Jason got caught up in that vortex,” Midzain said. In the Coquitlam case, school district officials did not call police after allegations were made about inappropriate touching by a substitute teacher, but conducted their own investigation. Aleksandr Plehanov continued to work as a teacher-on-call for several more months until more allegations were made and the parents went to directly to the police.

Plehanov now faces 10 sex-related charges. His case is still before the courts. Midzain said she believes Chilliwack school district official acted appropriately by calling in the police. However, emphasizing that she does not know any details of the complaints against Epp, she agreed teachers today are “certainly open to allegations, misinterpretation and innuendo.” “I don’t know how we as teachers protect ourselves from that… other than exemplary conduct,” she said. A B.C. College of Teachers

spokesman said Epp remains suspended from teaching pending a hearing, which had not been scheduled as of last Friday. College spokesman Mykle Ludvigsen said the stay of the criminal charges in court will be taken into consideration at the hearing. In a brief statement emailed to the media, Chilliwack school district superintendent Michael Audet acknowledged the decision to stay the charges and said the school district is “conferring with the B.C. College of Teachers and legal counsel.” rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Philadelphia flavour on Chilliwack Chiefs blueline

The preseason is winding down for the Chilliwack Chiefs, with a whole new group of players ready to represent this city in its return to the BCHL. To help you get to know your new team before the home opener on Sept. 24, the Progress sports section will be running several player features from now until the season starts. The crash course continues today with an import defenceman from the home of Flyers, Eagles and Phillies.

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress A 19-year-old from the city of brotherly love hopes to make life miserable for Chilliwack Chief opponents this season. Defenceman David Thompson, a native of the Philadelphia suburb of West Chester, Pennsylvania, plans on bringing some snarl to the blueline. Snarl, and some good ol’ American swagger. “We’ve got the swagger and we’ve definitely got better style than the Canadians.” Thompson joked (maybe). “They bang and hit and ask questions later, and it seems like there’s a lot of big up-north boys who just like to run people through the boards. We’ve got some smaller guys who are a little more focussed on skill. You mix the two together and you get some pretty good hockey.” One thing Chilliwack fans will have to get used to is the BCHL

import rule. With the Chilliwack Bruins and the Western Hockey League, it was a bunch of prairie boys joined by one or two Fins, Czechs, Slovaks, Swedes or Russians. The only American to really make a name for himself was Travis Belohrad, a Colorado kid who had five goals for Chilliwack in 200910. You won’t find the Euro element in the BCHL, but you will see many players coming up from the United States. Each team is allowed up to eight imports at a time — an import described on www.bchl. ca as ‘any player transferring into the B.C. branch from out of province who finished the last season in another branch - ie Alberta.’ Or Philadelphia. Chilliwack’s training camp roster originally included skaters from North Dakota (Ross Kovacs), Dallas (Bobby Christenson), Omaha (Steve Sipprell) and New England (Trevor Hills). “Obviously, we have disagreements about our sports teams because Hills is a Bruins fan and I’m a Flyers fan,” Thompson said of the interaction between the American skaters. “There’s a little jawing going on. But us Americans have to stick together, because we’re out-numbered at this juncture,” Technically, Thompson no longer counts as an import. BCHL rules state that import status is lost once a player logs one year in the league. The big (six-foot-two and 182 pound) blueliner played 60 games in Quesnel last season, notching five goals, 14 points and 43 penalty minutes. Chiefs general manager and head coach Harvey Smyl wasn’t quite sure what he had

in Thompson until last week, when he saw the teen lose his cool and chase his own brother around the ice at Prospera Centre. “People get under my skin and it sets me off sometimes,” he said. “John (Thompson) and I were battling and he threw an elbow in my face. I didn’t really like that too much and I guess I had a little ‘snap’ moment out there.” Watching Thompson go after his own flesh and blood got Smyl to thinking. If he’ll go after his own brother like that, heaven help the Langley Riverman or Surrey Eagle who tries to give him the business. “I figure John learned his lesson pretty quick after that, and I settled down after I got that

out of my system,” Thompson chuckled. “We actually get along great off the ice. But on the ice, things happen. You get caught up in the moment and just react. You don’t think about it too much.” Asked to name his three favourite NHL players of all-time, Thompson’s choices reveal much about his own approach to the game. The first name out of his mouth is ill-tempered Chris Pronger, the perennial all-star who isn’t shy about laying out the lumber. “He’s mean and he can control a game all by himself,” Thompson said. Next is Scott Stevens, perhaps the best openice hitter in NHL history.

“He was just an animal out there and I definitely try to model myself after him,” Thompson added. Then there’s Jeremy Roenick, a man who logged 1216 regular season points in the bigs, earning just as much notoriety for some of the things he said. “I liked Patrick’s quote, (that) he would have stopped me,” Roenick once said after game 4 of a playoff game between Patrick Roy’s Colorado Avalanche and Roenick’s Chicago Black Hawks. “I wanted to know where he was in game 3. He was probably getting his jock out of the rafters of the United Center.” “He had a lot of swagger out there, but he was a smart hockey player first and that’s

what I really liked about him,” Thompson noted. “I try to let my play do the talking for me and I try to be smart about what I’m doing, but you’ve got to play mean and tough or people are just going to roll over you. It’s just a matter of doing it intelligently.” Thompson came to the BCHL last year after taking a run at a job with the United States Hockey League’s Muskegon Lumberjacks. “I didn’t know too much about the BCHL, other than hearing it was a great league that offered great exposure for players,” Thompson said. “Obviously the goal for me is to eventually play college hockey in the States, and in Quesnel and I got a lot of experience I prob-

ably wouldn’t have gotten elsewhere.” On a Chiefs blueline that lacks in big-name talent, he should fit in nicely. Offensively, you’ve got better odds seeing Big Foot than a coast-tocoast Thompson rush. But given time, he can launch some bombs from the point. If he can keep things tidy in Chilliwack’s end of the ice, this season might move him one big step closer to his ultimate goal. “My goal is a scholarship, and I’d like to get one this year,” he said. The Chiefs play a preseason game Saturday night at Prospera Centre, hosting Surrey at 7 p.m. Get a full schedule at www.chilliwackchiefs. net.

Local golf instructor Valerie Beebe and Jennifer Greggain are offering a program for children this fall, one they believe is unique. Working as a pilot project out of the Cheam Leisure Centre, the program is dubbed SNAG, short for Starting New at Golf. Beebe describes it as a fun filled and affordable way for children to learn the game indoors. When good weather shows up, they can transfer their learned skills to a small outdoors course. “We aim to teach valuable life lessons including self confidence, integrity, and respect,” she added. “The children will hopefully make new friendships and learn that golf is a timeless physical activity.” Get more information on the new program by emailing Beebe at valerie.2000@shaw.ca. Cheam Centre program coordinator Codie Hindle can be reached by email at chindle@ aquaticpro.com.

from tailback Kurtis Flynn. Flynn carried the ball four times for 200 yards. The blocking of linemen Ethan Paisley, Riley Conner, Mason Grace, Mason Murphy, Avery Ade and Jackson Saunders made it happen. Flynn came off the field at halftime and said to his coach, “I’ve only been touched once by a Langley player.” Thomas Nelson scored his first touchdown in the third quarter. Defensively, tenacious tackling from outside linebackers Reid Dunham and Garreth Conner helped shut down the Bears. ● The atom Blue Giants lost 20-6 to the Meadow Ridge Knights, unable to overcome a sluggish start. The Knights got TDs on their first two offensive plays before the Chilliwack D tightened up. Running back Colton Holt scored the lone Giants major behind outstanding blocks from Corey Lamb and Josh Baird. Linebackers Jaycob Brown and Dhillon Meyer led the way defensively. Meyer had two quarterback sacks in the fourth quarter. Keyan DeVries and Paris Mastin were effective on the defensive line.
