Suspects in BMO robbery arrested Two men charged; police still seeking a third Two suspects in the July robbery of a Bank of Montreal branch on Vedder Road in Chilliwack have been arrested. Ryan Therrien, 23, of West Kelowna, and Calvin David, 24, are both in custody pending court hearings. Police believe a third man was involved in the July 8 robbery, and an investigation continues. Two men wearing bandanas over their faces entered the bank located at 6640 Vedder Rd. just after noon, and fled in a white GMC Safari van that police believe was driven by a third suspect. The van was located later, unoccupied, on Lickman Road. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP serious crime unit at 604-7924611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
Agassiz man found beaten in Chilliwack alleyway A 33-year-old Agassiz man was found bleeding and unconscious late Saturday in an alleyway in downtown Chilliwack. Chilliwack RCMP are now looking for witnesses to the assault, or anyone who may have other information about the incident. “The serious crime unit now has conduct of the investigation, and are looking for anyone who may have been in the area of Empress Lane and Nowell Street during the hours of 7-9 p.m. Saturday evening, who may have witnessed the assault or an altercation,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said in a news release. The victim is now resting at home, after his release from hospital yesterday. Police said they responded to a report of an unconscious man in the alleyway, who was found and taken to hospital with serious injuries. He was later taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster for further testing and observation. Anyone with information is asked to call Cpl. Harinder Kheleh in the RCMP’s serious crime unit at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.
Brian Coombes, executive director with Tourism Chilliwack, is wanting to repair the damage done to the City’s reputation after a rash of tire slashings along the Vedder River. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Chilliwack ‘reaches out’ to U.S. anglers Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack city and tourism officials are meeting Friday with police and local fishing groups to see what can be done to counter negative publicity after a story about U.S. anglers’ car tires being slashed went viral. Chilliwack RCMP are not buying the theory that U.S. fishermen were targeted in the Thanksgiving weekend tire slashings, saying it could simply be the fact that most of the nine vehicles involved in the incidents reported near the Keith
Wilson Bridge belonged to Americans. One of the cars had B.C. plates - and its tires were also slashed. “These (tire slashings) are not necessarily targeted, and may be a crime of opportunity,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. There were online reports that up to 30 cars parked along the Vedder River had their tires slashed, but Hollingsworth said only nine were officially reported to police. “Regardless of who was targeted,” said Brian Coombes, Tourism Chilliwack’s executive director, the tire slashing
incidents are “not being taken lightly” and the Friday meeting was organized to come up with a plan to catch the culprits and to repair “any potential damage done to our sport tourism industry.” The meeting will focus on how to reach out to anglers who have said they won’t come back to Chilliwack because of the tire slashings, he said. “We want to see what we can do to reach out and invite them back to our community,” he said. “The last thing we want is a black eye with regard to our hospitality,” Mayor Sharon
Gaetz agreed. Sport fishermen, especially those from the U.S. who pay much higher fees for fishing licences, are a major source of tourism revenue in Chilliwack, and the spin-off benefits to the local economy in terms of accommodation and fishing supplies are also huge. Fraser Valley Salmon Society president Frank Kwak said the society is looking at offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is behind the tire slashing.

Cancellation still leaves authors a reason to smile Katie Bartel The Progress A cancelled conference turned into a serendipitous weekend for Choosing to Smile authors. Last week Glenda Standeven and Michelle Rickaby headed to Washington, D.C. for the Global Woman Summit where they were up for the 2011 Woman of Courage award. The conference, however, had been cancelled after the authors had already arrived due to security
issues. “We were disappointed it had been cancelled, but being true to Choosing to Smile, we thought we’d make the best of it,” said Standeven. Did they ever. While touring the Smithsonian, they introduced themselves to the Capital police officer on duty. In conversation, they mentioned that their conference had been cancelled. “Well, he told us that he thought we should have a very special
tour of the Capital and that if we came back at 10 a.m. on Monday, he would give us that tour,” said Standeven, who at first was skeptical.” “But he was there the next morning. We got a private tour through the senate. We were out on the senate floor where nobody goes except senators – we were just feet away from where the vicepresident sits.” And because it was Columbus Day, they were also able to tour the Jefferson Library, which is only
open to the public two days of the year. There, Standeven asked the librarian how they could get their book on the stacks. The librarian informed her that the Jefferson Library was full, but that Choosing to Smile sounded perfect for the Library of Congress. “Two of our books are now in the Library of Congress,” said Standeven. “That would never have happened had the conference not been cancelled.” Despite the conference being
cancelled, the event’s organizers still held a meet and greet, as several people had arrived in D.C., like Standeven and Rickaby, prior to receiving notice of the summit’s cancellation. It was there they met radio personality Linda Rivero, who has a weekly show exploring feminine energy around the world. “She wants to interview us for a show that will air in Seattle in November,” said Standeven.

Seniors program revived by Lions Robert Freeman The Progress Seniors left out in the cold when government funding dried up for the Time Out program are now basking in an outpouring of community-based care and comfort spearheaded by the Mount Cheam Lions Club. “I think it’s wonderful what they’re doing for us,” said 84-year-old Helen Rempel. She said the hot meals, the bingo and dart games, the exercise and entertainment provided by volunteers is “a real pick-me-up” for seniors who might otherwise feel isolated and alone. “It’s absolutely gorgeous,” she said. Last January, the Chilliwack Seniors Resources Society announced it couldn’t continue operating the Time Out program after the Fraser Health Authority
chopped in half its share of the $142,000 budget. But in March, the Mount Cheam Lions Club decided to try out a scaleddown “coffee-and-cookies” version of the program - and were surprised by the interest shown by seniors. “It went over like fireworks on the First of July,” said club spokesman Allen Hunt. So the decision was made to offer a full program of hot lunch, bingo and dart games on Tuesdays, and with help from others in the community, a second day of exercise and entertainment on Thursdays was added. “We found all sorts of people that were willing to help us along the way,” Hunt said. “It’s really developing a life of its own.” The “wonderful” hot meals Rempel described are coming from student

kitchens at the University of the Fraser Valley, and three student volunteers from the Chilliwack School District come to the Thursday program. “The seniors just love these kids,” Hunt said. And more people are volunteering for the program after they realize the difference they are making to the seniors, he said. “I don’t think a lot of people realize how seniors can start to feel isolated after spouses and friends pass away,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for them to get out and socialize.” Seniors who want more information about attending the program can call Paul Keating at 604-858-1894. Volunteers are asked to call the club at 604-7923810. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Fran Ooievaar had a better story than her running partner’s following last weekend’s trail race around Cultus Lake. Yet, she would have much preferred her friend’s experience. Ooievaar was one of 12 runners who got lost on the trails during the first half of the ninth annual Around the Lake Give ‘r Take 30 km race around Cultus Lake. It took approximately 45 minutes for the group to be found by race sweepers. Despite being an experienced road runner, Sunday’s trail race was a first for Ooievaar, who has bad knees and found herself alone on the course fairly quickly. “You get so busy watching where you’re putting your feet, because even going down you’re slipping on the gravel, rocks, and roots,” she said. “I guess I wasn’t watching as well as I should have been for the trail markers and all of a sudden I realized I hadn’t seen or heard of anyone for awhile, and I hadn’t seen the trail markers either.” But because she was on a path that had tracks from runners, she kept following it until she ran into a group of 11 other racers. They, too, were lost. Heather Hibberson, race director for the event, which is organized by the Vedder Running Club, said it’s not uncommon for trail runners to get lost on the trails during organized events. “It’s not like running on roads,” said Hibberson. “When you’re running trails, you have to look down all the time.” Hibberson said the route was well marked with bright pink ribbons tied around trees and flour on the trails to keep the racers on track. As well, the course map, elevation grid, and aid station locations were posted on the website prior to the race. And a laminated map was also at the start-finish area the day of the race. “We try our very best to ensure nobody goes off course on race day, but it does happen, and not just in our race, it happens at other races too,” said Hibberson. “We’re sorry people went off the course ... but ultimately, it’s a trail racers responsibility to make sure they have an understanding of the race course and where the aid stations are.” Continued: RUN/ p9

Long-time Black Press VP passes Jim Ainsley dies in hospital at age of 64 Vikki Hopes Black Press A long-time employee of Black Press in Abbotsford and Chilliwack resident who was actively involved in the community died Sunday at the age of 64. Jim Ainsley, who retired in February after 39 years with the newspaper company, passed away in Vancouver General Hospital due to complications from surgery for lung cancer. At the time of his retirement, he was vice-president of finance and operations for the Black Press Group and was based in the Abbotsford News building on Gladys Avenue. Ainsley was born on Jan. 18, 1947 in Prince Albert, Sask., where he was involved as an army cadet through his teens. After graduation, he studied to become an accountant but never wrote his final exams. He and his family moved to Lethbridge, Alta. when he was in his early 20s, and he worked as an accountant for Boise Cascade – which distributes office products and building supplies – before being hired by the Red Deer Advocate newspaper in 1972
Jim Ainsley, ‘known as gruff with a big heart.’
as the head accountant. Ainsley moved to Abbotsford in the early 1980s and began working for Hacker Press – a predecessor to Black Press. Later that decade, he became more involved in the human resources side, including union negotiations, labour issues and capital projects. “Jim was known as gruff with a big heart, but at the end of the day he was a very levelheaded guy who could bring parties together and find common ground,” said Bruce Tennant, Ainsley’s co-worker and friend. Ainsley’s community involvement included the Rotary Club of Abbotsford; the Fraser Valley
Health Foundation’s Run for Mom committee; the Abbotsford Community Services’ Christmas Bureau, which he helped establish; the United Way; and the Abbotsford International Airshow. Ainsley and his wife Catherine moved to Chilliwack at the end of 1990, and he enjoyed gardening and woodworking. He is survived by Catherine; his four sons Martin, Darren, Kevin and Keith and their spouses; four grandchildren; and his two beloved poodles, Rosie and Jewel. A celebration of life will take place sometime next week, but a date has not yet been set.

‘Weird’ antics scares parents at condo complex Robert Freeman The Progress Parents at a native housing complex in Chilliwack are keeping their children close after too many were coming home with stories about the behaviour of a “weird” older man. Chilliwack RCMP are actively investigating the “stranger danger” reports, and keeping a close eye on activities around the Knight Road housing complex. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said at this stage of the investigation “it doesn’t seem to be one person repeatedly contacting the kids” with malicious intent. She noted there are many seniors living in the area who might be walking by the housing complex. But parents and housing managers at the Kekinow Native Housing Society are taking no chances, organizing meetings with police and alerting residents. “Everybody has put their kids on lockdown,” said parent Latasia, who didn’t want her last name published. She said when her 11-year-old

daughter told her about the “weird guy” tying the shoes of children, giving them money and calling himself “papa,” she trusted her daughter’s instincts. The next day Latasia talked to other parents who were “kind of scared” by the behaviour of this non-native man in the front part of the complex. And four days after the Oct. 2 incident, Latasia said there was another incident when a man had parked in the mall behind the complex, and used a hole in the fence to enter the back yard. But the intruder took off when adults were called by the children. “We’re watching everything that moves now,” Latasia said, and a Block Watch program is being set up. The suspect is described as an older white male, about 5’7” tall, with short, salt-and-pepper coloured hair, and a medium build. Carol Anderson, manager of the 44-unit housing complex, said another meeting of parents and police is planned for early next week.

They also met a woman from Northern England who reminded them of their dear friend and co-author, Julie Houlker, who past away earlier this year. “We felt like our little Julie was right there with us ... that she had orchestrated this from the other side.” And on top of all that, the Chilliwack authors had also won the 2011 Woman of Courage award for their book Choosing to Smile, of which they were notified of at the end of their trip. “Julie would just be so thrilled with this award,” said Standeven. Choosing to Smile is a self-published book about Standeven’s, Rickaby’s and Houlker’s lives with cancer. After it was published last year, it started a global movement for those who face adversity and still choose to smile. For more information, visit the website www.choosingtosmile. com.

News Runners lose way on Cultus Lake run Ooievaar said she would have liked to have seen the course better marked. “A lot of the ribbons were hung up high and you’re so busy looking at your feet that you’re not looking up there anymore,� Ooievaar said. The race committee will be discussing the marker locations as well as other ways of improving the race in an upcoming post-race meeting. This year’s race had record numbers with 78 solo racers and 48 relay teams of two racers each. Compared to other races, though, it’s still a relatively small race. “You run the Victoria Marathon and this wouldn’t happen, because there’s people everywhere,� Ooievaar said. “There’s just not a lot of you on those trails ... one woman who was with us had done this run five or six times and she got lost too.� Ooievaar said that while her experience wouldn’t deter her from attempting the race again in the future, her knees might. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Shooting from the lip
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
B.C. might have shot itself in the foot with Ottawa’s gun by threatening that municipalities were prepared to abandon the venerable RCMP and form a provincial force. The remarks, made recently by Langley’s Peter Fassbender, the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ observer in contract negotiations between the province and Ottawa, came as a reaction to what many consider an unpalatable policing deal with the Mounties. While the proposed 20-year contract for policing services throughout much of the province is indeed expensive and undesirable, the comments that we’ll take our gun and strike out on our own are somewhat premature. For one, we don’t even own the gun. Everything, from the guns and handcuffs to the cruisers and computers, ultimately belong to Ottawa. Despite the threat to form our own force, it appears no one has really done the homework on how feasible that really is. No one is presenting any numbers that show what starting a provincial force would cost, nor how it would save us money and hassle in the long-term. Solicitor General Shirley Bond called it a “very expensive, very challenging” prospect. In other words, we can’t afford it and probably can’t figure out how to do it. It’s no surprise then that Ottawa called B.C.’s bluff, issuing an ‘ultimatum’ that we either sign the contract or the Mounties will march into the sunset. Next time, before we go off making threats half-cocked, perhaps we should make sure we’re not taking aim at our own boots and the gun isn’t about to backfire. ~ Black Press
BC V IEWS
Sign treaties, or ‘shut ’er down’ ~ commissioner VICTORIA – Finally, somebody in the B.C. treaty negotiation system has come out and said it. Releasing the B.C. Treaty Commission’s 19th annual report last week, Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre announced she has asked for a one-year extension to her term, to see the organization through its second decade. And if things don’t change, particularly in Ottawa, then “shut ’er down.” The commission is the independent “keeper of the process,” and the chief commissioner is appointed by agreement between the federal and provincial governments and B.C.’s First Nations Summit. Its job is to facilitate talks and dole out funds to aboriginal groups researching and negotiating treaties. As of this year, they have disbursed $500 million, $400 million of it loans that must be repaid out of treaty settlements.

“We are 19 years into the process, and we have, just on the First Nations side, a half a billion dollar investment, and when are we going to start seeing a return on that investment?” Pierre asked. It’s safe to assume that there has been at least that much spent by the federal and provincial governTom ments as well. And FLETCHER after a burst of progress with the Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties, and a controversial deal with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon, costly inaction resumed. Sliammon First Nation negotiators finalized a treaty in 2009. Off it went to Ottawa, where it has languished ever since, waiting for a set of initials that would
allow a ratification vote by about 1,000 Sliammon people near Powell River. At stake is a settlement in which B.C. contributes 8,300 hectares of Crown land and Ottawa provides $37 million to compensate for a century of trespass and resource extraction from Sliammon territory. (You can object to all this and try to live in the past, as B.C. Conser vative leader John Cummins does, but we now have stacks of high court decisions that make aboriginal title real and inescapable, if not well defined.) Other commissioners agreed with Pierre about Ottawa’s role, including the federal appointee, Jerry Lampert. “The Canadian system is such that they are constantly going back to Ottawa for mandates for their individual negotiators,” Lampert said. “This is bureaucratic, and it plays against the
idea that we’re in a real negotiation.” With a majority government in Ottawa, and B.C. MP John Duncan as federal aboriginal affairs minister, there is hope of movement. And there is action on another front. Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq was in B.C. last week to sign an agreement to hand over authority and funding for on-reserve health programs to a new aboriginal authority that will work with the provincial health system directly to administer reserve health programs. This will end a parallel health system run by Ottawa on reserves. A similar agreement was signed in 2006 for aboriginal schooling. Alas, five years later, there is still wrangling between the First Nations Education Steering Committee and Ottawa over funding. But I’m told there is progress

there, with resolution possible by the end of this year. Sto:lo Tribal Chief Doug Kelly, chair of the First Nations Health Council, says its financing terms are clear, and dealing Ottawa out of health care delivery will improve outcomes. B.C. Health Minister Mike de Jong and Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak agree that these broader self-government transfers for health and education, along with forest and mining deals, will bring treaties closer. Pierre’s blunt warning must have been heard in Ottawa. It appears the Sliammon treaty has been located and will receive federal blessing this week.

Blueprint for better education ple, even though all subject are important, literacy is more so. Therefore, shift more resources to teaching literacy in the primary grades. • Ensure that the superintendent you hire says to the Board,” Give me your mission statement and I’ll run with it”. • Appoint principals who are instructional leaders not just managers. Although many factors go into the making of a good school, principal leadership remains the key to school success. • Use only the best instructional practices and develop a plan for reform that prevents mild learning problems from turning into virtually intractable disabilities. • Continuously monitor progress. Remember, what gets measured, gets done. For best results, try value-added assessment. Thus we’ll be accountable for the growth in student achievement. • Keep parents fully on side by putting public back in public education. • Above all, the Board must adopt sound principles of budget allocation in order to guarantee continuation of the excellent
Chiefs deserve your support Chilliwack Chiefs, Chilliwack Bruins, now once again Chilliwack Chiefs. I am confused. We have a beautiful facility. A B.C. junior hockey team and reasonable prices, so where is everyone? I am not sure what folks are looking for. Yes, the WHL really ran over Chilliwack and left damage in its wake. Yes, probably the folks involved in some of that are possibly involved in the Chiefs, but really, who cares? It is over, done. You are missing something at the Rink (Barn) that hasn’t been there in awhile... a true sense of community. Harvey Smyl is back, folks. His incredible ability to touch the hearts of the these young men into making them believe they are worth giving it all they have is back. They are a great bunch of guys we have here. Hard working, they don’t give up after one goal against. Yes, there are going to be lost games. It is part of the game after all; always a winner and always someone who loses. It is inexpensive entertainment, and such a different sense of community. We are back to the rink feeling like it felt years ago. Remember the days when you would go to the old barn? I can’t explain why, but that is how it feels now. Like hockey is home. We have been season ticket holders since 1999 and have seen hockey change here a lot. So, give it a try, folks. It costs more to do a lot of other things.. so cost isn’t the biggest thing I am sure. Great talent is tying their skates on game nights. Come support them and lets renew the reputation of Chilliwack being a great hockey town. Go Chiefs Go! Jackie Gartner
education system desired. Put money where it matters most. Thus you’ll help improve performance while controlling costs. Learn to do more with less i.e. efficiency and effectiveness. We’re far more inefficient than any business would tolerate and still remain solvent. I believe that real success comes when people stop making excuses and become resultsoriented. I say, it’s the waste in education, stupid! Schools are producing low returns for the dollars spent. And one more thing, be careful about wasting too much time on committees. After all: A committee is a gathering of ‘important’ people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done – Jonathan Green. So, when it comes to committees, less may just turn out to be more. Always remember that a board is responsible for evaluating all the educational programs and services provided ( School Act). Hence, put students front and center and good luck in your challenge of governing for results. Lal Sharma, Ph.D. Former school trustee

He who opens a school door, closes a prison ~ Victor Hugo Education is the “civil-rights issue of our time.” All children in a free nation have a moral claim to attend schools that will help them discover and develop their gifts. The most important responsibility and solemn duty of a school board happens to be the general education of all its children. And insuring that students finish high school ready either for college or the world of work ought to be the fundamental goal of a basic education. Sadly, we’re failing to meet our obligation. For far too many of our students, high school is a route to nowhere when graduation rates remain stagnant at less than 75 percent for the general population and a bare 50 percent for natives. Students are failing in large numbers. But it doesn’t have to be so. Blueprint for a better tomorrow follows: • Start with great expectations and a clearer focus. ‘Raise the bar so high that kids have to actually leave the ground to clear it’. • Make choices.

From left, Carlee Lemon (aka Pink LemonRaid of the Voodoo Derby Dollz Roller Derby Association), Capt. Mark Collins of the Chilliwack Fire Department, and Shelley Bolan, manager of the Ann Davis Transition House, gathered for a cheque presentation at the Landing Sports Centre on Tuesday. Collins helped organize a fundraiser to raise money for the Ann Davis Transition Society’s October campaign called Purple Light Nights during the Voodoo Derby Dollz’ first ever game on Oct. 1. That night, firefighters manned the beer garden and hot dog sales at the roller derby event where they raised $1,000 for the Ann Davis Transition Society. Purple Light Nights is a campaign to acknowledge that domestic violence is completely unacceptable in Chilliwack, or anywhere else. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Preston Manning to speak at Strahl ‘tribute’ dinner Robert Freeman Black Press Preston Manning, founder of the Reform Party that changed the face of Canadian politics, will be the guest speaker at a tribute dinner for Chilliwack’s long-time MP Chuck Strahl. “We hope many can join us and Preston Manning to celebrate Chuck’s career and thank him for all that he’s done for our communities and this country,” Jeremy Giesbrecht, president of the local Conservative Party
association, said in news release. Strahl was part-owner of a local logging company in 1993 when he was first elected to Parliament in the Reform Party sweep led by Manning of Canada’s western provinces. Strahl was re-elected by huge margins thereafter, even though the Reform Party eventually disappeared and despite his controversial role at the head of a “renegade” pack of MPs. After the new Conservative Party was born, Strahl continued to hold important cabinet posts,
even though he had challenged Stephen Harper for the leadership. Last March, now a grandfather many times over, Strahl announced he would not run again for re-election. The tribute dinner will be held Nov. 12 at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel. Reservations for the $125 per person seats can be made by calling 604-799-9296 or email chuck. strahl.tribute.dinner@gmail.com before the Oct. 29 deadline.

Night market moves to the mall Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It was a hugely popular summer attraction at Party in the Park, and now the Night Market is set to carry on the tradition into fall. A Christmas Night Market will be launched on Friday, Oct. 21 at the Chilliwack Mall at 5 p.m. “We wanted to have it in a downtown location but unfortunately there was no space available,” said night market manager Mandy Watts. About 25 to 30 merchants will
kick off the market this week and then they’ll be moving into a larger location in the mall, where the Deals Only store used to be. Beautiful clothing, jewelry, toys, equestrian tack, hand-crafted treasures and more will be on display. Many of the vendors were eager to see the night market continue, after getting an “overwhelmingly positive” response from shoppers during the third season of Party in the Park, she said. “This is a great group of talented people with beautiful prod-
ucts. The vendors are like family,” Watts said. “So they’re worth fighting for.” Buskers will be on-hand to entertain and a few food vendors will be offering everything from beef stew, to cupcakes to schnitzel. Vendors can call 604-701-2500 to reserve a space or email at chilliwacknightmarket@hotmail. com The night market runs Friday nights only at the mall Oct. 21 to Dec. 16 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Seven vehicles parked at The Vibe apartments on Yale Road had their windows smashed and items stolen by a thief sometime overnight Saturday. Chilliwack RCMP were called to the apartment complex at 45555 Yale Road at 10:30 a.m. Sunday. “Items stolen included wallets with identification and credit cards, a portable DVD player, a CD player, and an iPod, to name a few,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said in a news release. She said the building’s security was notified, and police continue
their investigation. “We are hoping that someone may have information that would be helpful to identify the suspect in this case,” she said. “This is a reminder not to leave valuables in your vehicles,” she added. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

Karen Mason-Albert: Living the life of dance Have you ever watched ballet dancers in absolute amazement? Ballet is a very graceful form of dance but the movements that dancers perform appear to be rather unnatural for the body. When these movements are done well and with precision, they appear natural and you can’t help but be mesmerized as the dancers appear to float through the air in ways that seem to defy gravity. What’s even more fascinating, at least for me, is the way that they spin on the tips of their toes. As a youngster, I attempted this move repeatedly without any success. Karen MasonAlbert was born to dance in this way and she not
only perfected her ballet moves, she also excelled in many other areas of the performing arts. Karen was born into a military family. They lived a military life; living from posting to posting. “I have two older Ana brothers and our MACEDO family moved to Chilliwack in 1978 when my dad was posted here and here we stayed,” she smiled. From the time that she was just three, Karen knew that she wanted to dance. “I was a ball

of energy as a child and dancing was a good way to channel that energy. I started to dance when I was five; my mom thought that this would be a good age to start. I wanted to do tap but my mom wanted ballet and my teacher said that ballet would provide me with the discipline that I needed. Classical dance, which is what ballet is, is a main ingredient to any dancer’s success. I have my mom to thank for that,” she said. Karen was allowed to learn other forms of dance; the only caveat was that she had to continue with her ballet. “I love tap. It’s one of the most challenging forms of dance because you have to think before doing the movement. It

was my forte; it was what I loved. But, I learned to love ballet too. I have huge respect for that form of dance,” she said enthusiastically. Karen started off with Francis Ford’s Ballet School and eventually moved to the Barry School of Dance in Abbotsford, where she expanded her focus to include tap, in addition to ballet. By the age of 10, she was with the Dance Factory and during her first year with the school, she had her first tap solo and was named the most promising tap dancer. Her life of dance took off from there. Bonnie Jean Anderson entered her life and gave her the drive to dance. “We had a good connection. She always challenged me.” At 11, she became totally focused of her craft and was dancing at least five days a week. “I began dancing with the Deborah Cameron School of Ballet in Langley. We were constantly on the
highway going to dance classes or competitions and I became a strong dancer. My mom stopped her life for me so that I could dance. Mom, Bonnie and Ms. Cameron made me the tough competitive person that I became. I was competitive against myself, though. I was focused but I remained a positive and optimistic competitor. Training, performing and competing became my life. I had no social life to speak of,” she explained. This young girl was clearly driven and she had a goal. She wanted to be the absolute best that she could be and after awhile resolved to become a triple threat. “Back then it was rare; not so much now. I wanted to sing, dance and act. I began taking voice lessons with Laurie Hirschman and was classically trained for five years. I was into ballet, tap and jazz dancing and was doing musical theatre. My mom always
supported me but she never pushed me. She was taking my lead. My mom invested so much in me and I will always be grateful for that,” she said. There were the exams and competitions, the dance conventions and the summer camps and they were going very well. Every year, Karen would get a spot to compete at the BC Festival of the Arts and at the age of 14, she was picked up by an adjudicator in Surrey and was chosen to go on a dance tour in Russia. “This was a one year process because we had to learn the dances; we had to learn Russian and that sort of thing. While we were there, I had two sessions with the Bolshoi Ballet and I couldn’t believe that I was standing in the same theatre as Mikhail Baryshnikov. What an amazing experience,” she enthused. She was also awarded a full bursary in Los Angeles to study with Tina Landon, who was Janet
Jackson’s choreographer. By the time that she was 15, she was teaching dance at JB Academy and taught there for three years, building their dance program. “I taught Amanda Quinton when she was 3 and she’s now the owner of Project Dance, which is where I teach. Talk about going full circle,” she laughed. She was training, teaching and still in high school and it was a tremendous load but she excelled nevertheless. Karen also danced with the Arts Umbrella Dance Company, a prestigious dance company operating out of Granville Island and this certainly helped to expand her horizons. She was hardly out of high school when her agent lined up an audition at the Deerhurst Resort located just outside of Toronto for a show called A Touch of Broadway. “In the show, there were 12 singers Continued: ANA/ p26

Dress up your patio for winter Over the next two seasons, when the weather turns cooler and wetter with shorter hours of daylight, wouldn’t it be wonderful to brighten up your patio with Brian some great MINTER winter colour? Enhancing our patios with colourful containers is easier than you may think. You just need a different strategy for winter. First: the containers. Terracotta in our climate is not the best for winter. Well fired, quality pots with a lacquer finish are usually fine, but most inexpensive clay absorbs moisture and is more susceptible to cracking and chipping in winter. Well fired ceramics are fine as are zinc, resin and well made plastic containers. As a rule of thumb, the larger the container, the better the plants do in winter conditions, simply because of the larger soil mass. For a nicer look, try grouping the planters together and if you can, varying the heights. Soil is a key issue in winter. Open, porous, well drained soil is a must. Regular potting soils hold too much
If you’ve never created your own winter container before, you’ll be surprised how easy it is and how attractive it looks, says Brian Minter.
moisture that tends to rot roots. Your best bet is to get a quality potting soil and add a third of bark mulch. This is essentially a nursery mix which is ideal for all winter plants. Most hardy plants will thrive in containers over winter and with cooler temperatures will need minimal maintenance. They will, however, need to be kept moist, especially if the containers are under eaves. The main winter issue is the degree of cold tempera-

tures. Hardy plants in winter containers will do nicely down to about -8°C. Beyond that they need some protection. The easiest shelter is to simply create a protected area that is insulated properly to keep the containers out of severely cold winds and deep freeze conditions. On patios, it is easier to wrap insulating materials, like the new ‘N-Sulate’, around the pots and plants. As soon as the worst of the cold is over, simply store these materials
and your pot is good to go until it gets severely cold again. As you select your plants, remember to ruffle up the rootballs a bit so they are more flexible and easier to fit into your containers. Pack your plants in tightly to get that attractive full look you are hoping for. I like using tall, thin unique conifers or broadleaved evergreens as focal points and surrounding them with colourful heucheras, evergreen euphorbias and evergreen grasses. Berries liven up planters nicely, and small pyracanthus, wintergreen, compact evergreen cotoneasters, trailing sedums, rich purple ajugas and violas add that special finishing touch. Popping in some stems of contorted willows or filberts add height and drama, and if you add mini lights or new LED lights, you’ll be able to enjoy the container at night as well. If you’ve never created your own winter container before, you’ll be surprised how easy it is and how attractive it looks. So much beautiful evergreen foliage is available today, that even without flowers, these containers can be stunning. Now is the time to add new life for a new season on your patio, so be adventurous and creative with all today’s exciting new winter plants.

Chilliwack’s Kelli Mitchell was invited to, and sang at, the wedding of Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed on Oct. 1. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Local singer serenades at rock wedding Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Singer Kelli Mitchell of Chilliwack was thrilled when Shannon Tweed asked her to perform at her fairytale wedding to rocker Gene Simmons of KISS a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t a stretch. “Shannon is a very good friend of mine,” Mitchell, 35, told The Progress. Mitchell was one of the 400 friends and family who attended the Royal Rock Wedding, where Simmons married Tweed, his girlfriend of 28 years. She had to keep the details under wraps — until now. The special episode finally aired Tuesday on Gene Simmons Family Jewels after weeks of wedding teasers.
The local performer ended up attending the glitzy and romantic nuptials, along with guests like Hugh Hefner and Bill Maher, in a lavishly decorated venue inside the Beverly Hills Hotel on Oct. 1. “It was all done up in creamy white, silver and black decorations,” she remembered. But Mitchell didn’t think Tweed was serious at first about her singing at the wedding. “I didn’t believe it. I texted her back, “Haha. Ok.” She didn’t really know for sure she’d be doing it until five minutes before she started singing, and found out she would be accompanied by Michael Bublé’s drummer and a six-piece brass band.
Mitchell got up on stage and belted out the bluesy Aretha Franklin tune, I Never Loved A Man, for the newlyweds. Then when the couple’s son, Nick, got up to sing a few tunes at the wedding party, Mitchell was asked to sing backup vocals along with Gene and their daughter, Sophie. This is how it all came together. Mitchell and Tweed first got acquainted on a social media site a couple of years ago, after discovering they shared a mutual appreciation for the Vancouver Canucks. “We just clicked.” Because you’re both Canadian? “No because I’m crazy and so is she,” Mitchell replied. “And we’re both loud, and goofy and we have a good sense of humour.
›› MAKING CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE “Musicworx AVU and the Chilliwack Chiefs – it’s win/win.” Seven years ago when we built Prospera Center, we approached Musicworx AVU to help us design the sound and video systems for our locker room and coaching office. They did a phenomenal job – and put in a huge amount of unpaid time to help get us going and made sure we had the best sounding room in the league which the guys really appreciated! When we moved to Langley the following year, Jim came out in his own time to help set the system up because that’s the kind of guy he is and that’s the way Musicworx does business in this community – as a partner. Now the Chiefs are back in Chilliwack – and I didn’t think twice about calling Jim and the team from Musicworx again – it was a no-brainer. It’s a perfect partnership - they take care of the electronics and I concentrate on winning hockey games. Go Chiefs Go!

The Chilliwack singer had seen Shannon Tweed’s name pop up as someone to follow on Twitter. Even though she was a neophyte tweeter, she did it anyway and found her thoroughly entertaining. At that point she wasn’t even a huge fan of the Much Music reality show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, starring Gene and Shannon and their kids, Nick and Sophie. But that would soon change. “Shannon was looking to catch a playoff game, but there was a blackout. So I told her to follow me back on Twitter and I’d send her the link to watch the game online.” That was basically it. They chilled. Continued: ROCK/ p30

They went out for lunch. They enjoyed each other’s company. They grew closer. Since then they’ve been hanging out periodically — a week in Beverly Hills at the Simmons mansion and Christmas at the place in Whistler last winter. You can see them on Youtube kidding around the pool in California. “What you see on the TV show is the real deal. Shannon is very, very giving; she’s awesome.” When Mitchell performed at the PNE in Vancouver the past couple of years, Tweed made a point of being there to support her. You can hear her screams of approval on the Youtube video. When Mitchell auditioned for Canada’s Got Talent, she received a text from Tweed: “Tell them you’re going to sing a song at my wedding.” And so she did. Tweed has always been very supportive, right from the start. Now Mitchell is back in Chilliwack, still aglow over the celebrity wedding experience. “I really like it out here,” Mitchell said. “I have a view of the mountains and I can ride my bike to the river.” She says her focus is going to be on her newly adopted hometown, for a while, and the musical duo she’ll be kicking off with local entertainer Trevor McDonald at Anavets starting on Oct. 27. But every once in while, she’ll look at the invitation and mementoes she has kept from the wedding extravaganza, and she’ll smile, remembering that she was a part of it.

The first presentation of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Dance Series starts Oct. 30 with the riveting Afro-Brazilian performance called Ataque! A mix of high-energy dance and dazzling costuming, it’s all set to capoeira music with upbeat vocals. Capoeira is uniquely Brazilian in its origins, meshing various art forms into one synergis-
tic martial arts experience. This captivating dance combines speed and agility with aspects of selfdefence and acrobatics that defy gravity. When the right sort of suppleness meets speed, a dancer appears to float in the air. Featuring exciting choreographed dances, Ataque! is sure to captivate all ages with the powerful, heavy rhythm
of the drum with a courtly procession of the Brazilian Congolese King and Queen. In addition to the royal entourage, the show includes an AfroBrazilian warrior dance with machetes, exhilarating vocals, and concludes with one of Brazil’s most popular dances, the highly contagious samba. Ataque, tickets at 604.391.SHOW(7469) or www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca
NYC artist Miss Tess is making her first ever visit to Canada and she’ll be bringing her band to Bozzini’s upstairs lounge on Sunday, Oct. 23. Her blend of jazz, roots, country, blues and ragtime has earned her the title of “musical chameleon” and netted comparisons to Tom Waits, Madeleine Peyroux, Randy Newman, Bette Midler, and many others. In addition to Tess on her 1940s archtop guitar, the lineup includes Raphael McGregor on lap steel, Danny Weller on upright bass, and Matt Meyer on drums. In 2009, Tess released two albums, the first Live on the Road includes live versions of original songs, as well as covers of a few 30s jazz standards and a Bessie Smith tune. The second 2010 release is Darling, oh Darling, and eclectic mix of original tunes dabbling in styles of western swing, rockabilly, jazz, and blues. Miss Tess, Sunday, Oct. 23, doors 6 p.m., show 8 p.m. Tickets $12.50, 604-792-0744.

T
he last article in our series on bad mental habits focuses on allor-nothing thinking. This type of thinking can be found in many different types of age groups, but our little concrete thinkers are especially skilled at it. All-or-nothing thinking can be defined as
very black and white. One of the teenagers I know regularly demonstrates all-or-nothing thinking about her boyfriend. When things are going well in their relationship for several days, she has nothing but positive to say. He’s a paragon of manhood and the most perfect,
kindest, and intelligent partner a teenage girl could want. However, when their relationship hits a bump (large or small) all of his positive qualities evaporate from her perception. He is described, and believed by her to be, a complete troglodyte and waste of space.

A neutral perspective would be that both of these teenagers have a combination of positive and negative qualities; strengths and challenges; pros and cons. As an adult mentor, there are things you can do to discourage all-or-nothing thinking in the young people and children with whom you interact. The most effective stratMarie egy is to AMOS model healthy cognitive habits. The difficult and frustrating neighbour, coworker, or family member who drives you nuts- how do you speak about them in front of a teen or child? Is your frustration tempered by verbal acknowledgement of their positive qualities (yes, they must have one or two)? It can be easy to fall into all-ornothing comments, but intentionally mentioning a positive quality can help to balance out the negative. It is tempting to categorize people/events/places as either good or bad. However, everything is a mix and the more practice we have in Continued: ALL/ p36

The global perspective
All or nothing thinking
chilliwackculturalcentre.ca
tolerating the mixed bag inherent in all situations the more sophisticated and healthy our viewpoints will be. Another way to combat all-or-nothing thinking in your young person is to gently draw their attention to this bad habit. Asking questions that may provide examples contrary to the allor-nothing, can be also be effective. For example, if you have a child who had a falling out with one of their friends and seems to only remember all their bad qualities, you could ask “remember when” questions regarding the friends history of sharing his or her lunch with your child. It’s important to validate the young per-
son’s point of view and feelings, but balance and moderation are healthy mental habits for which to strive. Over the next week, keep a sharp eye out for all-or-nothing thinking. You might find examples on television, offered by people around you, or even in your own mind! When this happens, consciously try to move into the shades of grey and develop a collage of positive and negative. In art, the use of shadows and shading conveys depth and dimension; refuting all-or-nothing thinking will promote a healthy, balanced perspective.

The University of the Fraser Valley’s Development for a New Generation (D4NG) project is hosting a free forum for Fraser Valley youth this Saturday to raise awareness of sustainable international development options for volunteers. D4NG is a project sponsored by the UFV Global Development Institute. It’s designed to increase awareness and understanding regarding Canada’s approach to sustainable international development. The project seeks to encourage youth aged 13-18 in the Fraser Valley region to become engaged in projects which improve the health, education, and overall social conditions in developing nations. “This event will allow Fraser Valley youth to connect, network, and be inspired by organizations specialized n international development and volunteer opportunities,” notes program coordinator Baraa Ali. The event will be held on Oct. 22 in Room B121 of the Abbotsford campus from 8:30 am to noon.

The Chilliwack
Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Hamhuis and Huisman share hockey bloodlines Eric J. Welsh, The Progress An interesting thing about junior hockey is the family ties. Hockey bloodlines run deep and if there’s one elite hockey player in a family, odds seem good that another will eventually emerge. When the Chilliwack Bruins were here, local fans saw the likes of Landon Ferraro, whose dad Ray played 1,258 regular season National Hockey League games. Chilliwack’s arch-rival Vancouver Giants skated into town with David Musil, son of ex-NHL defenceman Frantisek Musil. With the Chiefs in town we see two off-spring of NHL stars. David Bondra is the son of former 50-goal sniper Peter Bondra. Jaret Babych is the son of the mustachioed one, Dave Babych, a key cog on the 1994 Vancouver Canuck Stanley Cup finalists. And there is one more link to the bigs on the current Chiefs roster, this one involving an active player. Chilliwack forward Derek Huisman, a native of the small town of Smithers, is a cousin of Vancouver Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis. “We’re pretty close, and I hang out a lot with him in the summer time,” Huisman said. An outdoorsy sort by nature, the 19-year-old Chief loves accompanying Hamhuis up the side of Hudson Bay Mountain, a daunting trail hike that rivals the famous Grouse Grind where workouts are concerned. “They’re different, but I actually think Hudson Bay Mountain is more difficult because it’s pretty much straight up with no stairs or anything,” Huisman said. “Instead of going to the gym, we’ll run up the mountain and touch the glacier up there. I can barely walk or breathe when I get to the top, but touching the snow is pretty cool.”
Speedy and slick, 19-year-old Derek Huisman sits third on the Chilliwack Chiefs with seven points (five goals) in seven games. The Smithers native has been one of the team’s top players in recent games. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Hamhuis played his junior hockey in Prince George before moving into the pro ranks with the Milwaukee Admirals in 2002-03. He joined the Nashville Predators in 2003-04 and played six seasons in the Country Music capital. Twice, Huisman flew to Tennessee for a visit. “The first trip I went with my dad (Pete) and I was probably 13 or 14 years old,” he recalled. “My all-time favourite hockey player was Paul Kariya, and he was with the Predators that year. Dan knew that and took me to meet him. I’ve actually got a signed stick in my room back home.” The second trip, Huisman went with his brother Darcy, an ex-Kamloops Blazer and Powell River King. Their timing was impeccable.
“It was right during the everybody was so happy to big flash flooding (in 2010), be able to go back to being a and we actually went down Vancouver fan.” Huisman saw Dan in roads in a canoe,” Huisman said. “It was pretty fun, action in the playoffs, takand then we drove Dan’s ing in a forgettable first round game against car all the way from Chicago (Vancouver Nashville back to lost 5-0). Smithers. We stopped He didn’t talk to at a few places along Dan much during the the way — saw a St. epic Stanley Cup run, Louis Cardinals ball but they had plenty of game. It was a pretty time to talk about it exciting trip.” afterwards. When Hamhuis “I didn’t want to was granted unreDerek bother him during stricted free agency in July of 2010, Huisman HUISMAN the playoffs, because he had a lot to think and everyone else in Smithers had their fingers about,” Huisman said. “He crossed that he would sign was in good spirits this summer. He really wants to in Vancouver. He did so on the first day get back there and win the Cup.” of free agency. As Hamhuis does his “Everybody wanted to be Nashville fans, but they thing in the NHL, Huisman weren’t really Nashville fans is refining his game in junior at heart,” Huisman said. “So A.
The five-foot-10 and 175 pound centre is off to a solid start in his second BCHL season. He leads the Chiefs in goals with five, and has seven points in seven games. Outside the dressing room on Tuesday, head coach Harvey Smyl dropped an unprompted compliment as he strolled by. “Derek’s playing really good,” he said. Flanked by linemates Malcolm Gould (7-2-6-8) and David Bondra (7-2-810), Huisman is centering Chilliwack’s top offensive line. “The puck’s getting to me lately and I’m starting to get some points after a little bit of a slow start,” Huisman said. “Playing with Malcolm and David is a lot of fun. I love playing with both of them and I think our line has
good chemistry out there.” Huisman thinks of himself as the defensive conscience of the line, taking particular pride in his work in the faceoff circle. “I like to take care of my own end first, but I also like to get one the score sheet,” he said. “Winning faceoffs gives me confidence in other parts of my game, and it helps the team so much because we have the puck and we don’t have to waste 15 seconds chasing it.” Like all the Chiefs, Huisman’s goal is to net an NCAA scholarship. “I still think I could improve my defensive game a bit, mostly with the positioning,” he said. “I think Chilliwack, with the coaches we have, it’s the right place to help me do that.” The next home game is Oct. 28 versus Trail.

First loss for Lunachicks The Chilliwack Lunachicks returned from a two week break to host the Meraloma A’s in women’s soccer action Sunday, losing for the first time this season. Chilliwack held a territorial edge in the first half, but the Merolamas scored two breakaway goals, at the six and 10 minute marks, to take an early lead. Janelle Cavanagh closed the gap at the 20 minute mark when her corner kick came back to her and she drilled a long shot over the outstretched arms of the Meraloma keeper. The Meralomas scored again seven minutes into the second half. Chilliwack’s offence created many scoring chances, but lacked finish. Lunachick keeper Kelly Joiner stopped a penalty shot to give her team a chance, however the Meralomas scored in the final minute to win 4-1.

IT’S BIG AND IT’S BACK. RECYCLE YOUR RIDE IS ALL ACROSS CANADA.
ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME. ONLY AT YOUR FORD STORE.
Ford’s Recycle Your Ride program is a great incentive for consumers looking to save on their next vehicle while responsibly recycling their old one. Since the program was first offered in 2009, Ford’s Recycle Your Ride program has retired more than 50,000 old vehicles, equal to 10 times the height of Mt. Everest if stacked on top of each other. This has eliminated approximately 474,308 tonnes of smog-forming emissions—that’s enough to fill more than 260,000 garbage bags. And now, in an effort to recycle even more, the program has been expanded to include 2005-model-year-or-older vehicles. So even more people can receive between $500 and $3000* in incentives towards purchasing or leasing our smartest, safest, and fuel-efficient Ford vehicles. Like the Focus, Fusion, and F-150.

Chilliwack coach honoured by provincial softball association Softball B.C. handed out several awards at a banquet last Saturday, with George Goddard earning recognition as
the 2011 coach of the year. “When I got the initial call that I would be receiving the invite to
the banquet and had been named the coach of the year for 2011, I was shocked, surprised and extremely hon-
oured,� said Goddard, the general manager of Rosedale-based Holiday Trails RV Resorts. “When I started coach-
ing, it was something I just never put a goal on or even thought about. I am humbled by the award.�
$LmK MKLGE=J HHJ=;A9LAGF 9Q
Goddard started coaching in 1978 with Whalley Softball. He sat on the Whalley executive through the 1980’s and 90’s, holding the title of president from 1979-81. He came back for a second term in the mid 90’s. In 1997, Goddard led the Whalley Warriors boys team into the B.C. Summer Games in Burnaby. The following year, he moved to Abbotsford and became the head coach of the girls squirt 91 B team. Goddard stayed with that group up to bantam and worked as a member of the Abbotsford executive as well. He contin-
ued to take teams to the B.C. Summer Games, winning three medals in four trips starting in 2004. This year, Goddard helped coach the Maple Ridge Pride 97 squad, a team that represented B.C. at the Western Canadian Championships in Winnipeg. The team won gold. “Through fastball I have met a lot of folks and have become very good friends with them,� Goddard said. “Now I find I coach against some of those young athletes, which is always good for a chuckle.� Get more at http:// softball.bc.ca.

Red Giant ground game mauls Mission Playmaking stars
MINOR FOOTBALL REPORT: WEEK SEVEN
Chilliwack’s junior bantam Red Giants beat the Mission 9ers 40-26 in a wild shootout. Billy Hanson continued his wrecking-ball season, running for 179 yards and three touchdowns on just 10 carries. Hanson had runs of 52 and 56 yards. Emerson Har vey
ran twice for 18 yards. One was a run-and-leap from the five yard line, as Harvey soared over the pile of bodies on the goal line for a major. Gabriel Olivares had a two yard scamper for a TD. Quarterback Jordan Breuker escaped Mission blitzes four times, scrambling for
63 yards. Breuker also kicked four times for 143 yards and nailed all five converts for 10 points. Defensively, Breuker and Harvey each had three solo tackles. Ayden Harvey had two tackles that cost Mission eight yards. She returned two kickoffs for 35 yards and
rushed the ball three times for 21 yards. Ryland Kalkman was a force to reckon with as he had two solo tackles for a loss of 12 yards to Mission. Kalkman also assisted on four tackles. The Chilliwack defence allowed 262 yards while the offence rolled up 340 yards.
Peewee Giants neutralize 9ers Atoms close to an epic upset The peewee Red Giants gutted out a 12-7 victory over Mission in a very entertaining game. Quarterback Brandt Davies went to the air in this one, connected twice with Justin Crooks for 46 yards. Davies was threeof-nine passing for 51 yards. Another toss came under extreme pressure from the Mission D as he found Andrew Locke for a five-yard gain. Crooks carried the ball five times for 27 yards, one of them a four yard rush up the gut for a major. Locke pressured the Mission defence all day, pounding them
up the middle for 61 yards on 15 carries. Chilliwack’s defence allowed just 43 yards. Colin Campbell intercepted a pass and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown. He added three solo tackles and one assist. Crooks had a quarterback sack, three solo tackles and three assists. Tommy Janzen tipped a Mission pass that was intercepted by Locke. Hudson Harvey blocked a punt and had five solo tackles and two assists. Quinn Venier also played well.
David versus Goliath was the scenario as Chilliwack’s atom Red Giants (2-4) faced the unbeaten Mission 9ers (6-0). As big as the mismatch appeared on paper, someone forgot to tell the boys from Chilliwack. Mission opened the scoring on a long run, but the locals countered with a quick scoring play of their own on a long run from tailback Kurtis Flynn. Mission scored twice to carry a 20-6 lead into halftime and led 26-6 early in the
second half. But Chilliwack battled back, stringing together long drives led by the running of Flynn and the dynamic blocking of fullback Jackson Saunders. The score was 26-22 with only three minutes left, but that’s as close as the underdogs could get. A standout performances was turned in by Mason Grace on the offensive line. Mason Murphy, Rhys Jones and newcomer Cam Odema were stellar on defence.
Two T wo Chilliwack Huskers were named to the B.C.Football Conference post-season all-star squads. Brandon Moore earned a nod as an all-star offensive lineman while rookie cornerback Tanner Hamade got the nod on defence. Find the full all-star rosters online at www.bcjuniorfootball.ca

I had forgotten just how w dominant Horcoff was that year, writes Jacob Bestebroer Last week we took a look at some of the bestt goal scorers in Chiefs history. This week let’s take a look at the guys who made all those goal scorers look good, the playy makers. Your feedback to last week’s top five goal scorers list was much appreciated and is welcome again this week. ● Gabe Gauthier spent three seasons in Chilliwack starting when he was just 15 years old. He scored 46 points that first season and itt was w as a sign of things to come. Gauthier finished with w ith 147 assists in 141 games for the Chiefs and went w ent on to star for the University of Denver, where w here he was part of two national champion teams. ● Tyler Burton loved to score goals and lit the lamp 60 times in 126 games with Chilliwack. His best skill though was his vision, and he used that great hockey sense to set up 129 goals during his two plus years in Chilliwack. Burton’s best year was 2003-04 when he finished with 30 goals and 80 assists in 60 games. The T he beneficiary of many of Burton’s passes that season was Adam Powell, who finished the season with 53 goals. ● Marc Gagnon was a Chief for two seasons beginning in their inaugural season in 1990. No BCHL team scored more than the Chiefs did during those two seasons (666 goals) and Gagnon assisted on 147 of those goals despite playing in just 104 of the team’s 120 games. ● Shawn Horcoff spent just one season in Chilliwack, but during the 1995-96 season the 17-year-old recorded a team record 96 assists in 58 games. A few months ago I re-watched a few games from that season and even though I saw mostt of those games live, I had forgotten just how w dominant Horcoff was that year. Sidelined by a leg injury in the playoffs, Horcoff’s Chiefs were upset in seven games by the Langley Thunder in the second round. Horcoff went on to four seasons with the Michigan State Spartans and is currently in his eighth season with the National Hockeyy League’s Edmonton Oilers. ● Travis Banga is the Chiefs all time leader in assists with 162 in 118 games. Banga led the Chiefs to their second league championship in 2000 and a third place finish att the national championship in Fort McMurray. Banga went on to star at New England College for three seasons before embarking on a seven yyear ear pro career which ended last season in Holland. At New England College he recorded 128 points in 70 games and is set to be inducted into their Hall of Fame. Feedback F eedback can be sent to jb@chilliwackchiefs.net.

MOSEANKO Samuel
Samuel Moseanko, a long time resident of Ryder Lake, passed away peacefully on October 16, MOSEANKO 2011 in Chilliwack General Hospital, age 87 years. Sam was born at Lonesome Butte, Saskatchewan, May 25, 1924. At a young age, Sam’s family moved to Killdeer, Sask. He set up trap lines from home to school and would sometimes catch skunks and weasels. At age 14, Sam finished grade 9 and set out to get a job. He went to his sister Lena’s place at Viceroy. In 1938, worked at the college, his older brother Andy was attending, in Lacombe. Sam worked for a year at Ostukamp’s farm, about one mile east of CTC. Later, left for Vancouver in the fall and worked in the ship yards over the winter with Paul Panko. Paul and Sam went back to Moose Jaw, where he worked at Swift Packers, and Robin Hood Mills, where Cousin Ed Kineshanko worked. Together Ed and Sam put in a wheat crop that sustained some hail damage, on a farm at Weyburn, Sask. After that farming experience, decided to go to BC with two horses, which they traded his sister Lena and Norman, for two cows. Arrived in Enderby, and worked at Ed’s uncle’s garage, Kineshanko Motors, with cousin Luke, in Vernon for about a year. Sam traveled to Vancouver Island in 1946. He was a mechanic with Commonwealth Construction, building equipment used for paving roads around Port Alberni, Parksville, Chilliwack, Boston Bar, Abbotsford, and Cultus Lake. In 1949, Sam married Verna Quast, of Chilliwack. He carried on as a heavy duty mechanic, with Katz Logging Company. They moved to a farm west of Chilliwack, where Diane and Wayne were born. At this time, he helped build the oil pipeline from Hope to Coquihalla. The family moved to Ryder Lake on a
40 acre farm, renting for seven years, (which was eventually bought and he built the homestead). Over the next forty years, Sam worked at Harrison, (with several logging companies). Sam farmed on weekends, during fire season and was home during the winters. Verna and his children helped to work the farm in his absence. In 1978, after back surgery, he retired to look after the cattle and enjoyed making cedar shakes, making smoked sausage, fishing (with the grandchildren), and hunting. Sam was a long time member of the Farmer’s Institute. Honourary bearers: Diane Rodger, Wayne Moseanko, Robert Moseanko, Donna Moseanko, Debra Piluk, and David Moseanko. He is survived by sons: Wayne (Beryl); Robert (Sherry); David (Judy); all of Ryder Lake; daughters: Diane Rodger, Kelowna; Donna Moseanko, Ryder Lake; Debra (Randy) Piluk, Vernon; 12 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; brothers, Terry (Inga), Wally; sisters, Ruth (Sylvester) Riffin; Lena Grange; Ethel Thomas; Cathy McTavish; Irene (Reg) Neal; also uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and many dear friends and neighbors.

ROSS Charles Stanley
(Stan) It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of Charles Stanley (Stan) Ross at the age ROSS of 88, at Chilliwack General Hospital in the early morning hours, Friday, October 14th, 2011. Stan was born August 25, 1927 in the Chilliwack General Hospital. He grew up on Ryder Lake where the only toy he ever wanted was an axe. His parents raised goats who became his playmates and also one of his first words: “doats”. His chosen career as a logger, and his passion and love of the woods continued throughout his life as he worked his land on Ryder Lake. One lot in particular became affectionately known as “Stanley’s Park”. He was an avid hiker and outdoorsman, climbing Mount McGuire on his 75th birthday. Regrettably,
he had to retire his chainsaw and hiking boots when he was diagnosed with Leukemia three years ago. Stan always gave generously to both the Chilliwack General Hospital and the BC Children’s Hospital. He was also a faithful Red Cross blood donor up until the age of 70 where his final count was 72 units! He would often comment “I guess I am getting paid back”, as he required over 29 transfusions during his long battle with cancer. Following his mother’s example, and in keeping with his generous nature, he even wished to have his body donated to science. He leaves behind to mourn his faithful wife Lily, step-children Brad, Vancouver; Susan (Tom) Thunder Bay; and Scott (Christine) Chilliwack; and his grandchildren Shawna, Megan, Lucas, Noah, Corey and Chelsea. He was also predeceased by his step-son Richard in 2009. Stan also leaves behind his faithful companion, Samantha the cat. A Memorial Service will be at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack on Monday, October 24, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Chilliwack General Hospital or the Canadian Cancer Society. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium Ltd. 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, British Columbia (604) 792.1344

June left us suddenly on Monday, August 29, 2011, while at home. Born in Sarnia on June 13, 1951, June grew up in Ontario, completing a BA before moving to Vancouver in the late 1970’s. There she met and later wed Grant Dickin, who would remain her partner for life. June’s introduction to skydiving in 1979 led to a 12 year long passion for the sport, during which time she made over 1600 jumps, accumulated about 14 hours of freefall time, and contributed several years as an instructor. In more recent years, June’s artistic and creative side was expressed through her nature photography, with some of her photographs and collages appearing in shows throughout the Fraser Valley. June nurtured people and nature the same way – recognizing the unique and beautiful and lending just the right touch so they would thrive. June gently organized her world and the world of those who came to her in need. She began her helping career as an early childhood educator and went on to become a much loved and valued outreach support worker with the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley. June provided loving unconditional support to women in distress who had lived in violence, helping them find hope and a belief in a future for themselves. June treasured the restorative value of the natural world, both directly, through many canoe, camping and kayaking trips, and through her interpretations in art. June was an avid reader with far-reaching interests and a book constantly on the go. She had a great appreciation for other cultures and views of the world, but her heart was firmly planted in her home and family, whom she adored. June was predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Grace Dickson, her sister Margaret and her nephew Ethan Sutcliffe. June will be deeply missed and forever loved by her husband of thirty years Grant Dickin, her brother Ian Dickson, nieces Tracey Brook and Tammy DeRush (Steve), great nieces and nephews Mitch, Ally, Sami, Jenna, and Ava, as well as her many dear friends and relatives throughout Canada and Scotland. June’s final contribution to bringing renewal and a sense of hope to others was to be an organ donor. Cremation has taken place, and June’s wish to have her ashes scattered will be fulfilled at a later date. A Celebration of June’s Life will be held Saturday, November 05, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at the hall of the Matsqui Evangelical Lutheran Church at 5781 Riverside Dr. Abbotsford BC (in Matsqui Village). In lieu of flowers, donations to honour June may be made to the Nature Conservancy B.C. RSVP to serviceforjune@hotmail.com
