No race for Chilliwack mayor’s chair

■ S UNNY T IME T O P ADDLE

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress No one is contesting the mayoralty race in Chilliwack. Incumbent Sharon Gaetz was the sole candidate for mayor to file nomination papers by the 4 p.m. deadline, city officials said late Friday afternoon. “I’m thrilled,” said Gaetz. “I hope it means people think I’ve represented them well and that we’ve done a good job.” The strength of the past three-year term was in council’s ability to remain “non-partisan” while conducting city business. “We don’t have slates or parties as they do in some larger cities,” she said. “So it attracts savvy people who have the community in mind. We don’t always agree, but we keep talking and we work as a team.” She hopes anyone who gets elected on Saturday, Nov. 19 will continue this trend, and to respect the diversity of opinions. There are a total of 21 candidates are vying for a council seat, while 24 are seeking election as school trustees. “People have a wonderful opportunity to choose from a large number of candidates this election,” she said. “It shows our community is engaged.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Electoral area directors at FVRD facing challengers The Progress While election candidates crowded municipal and school board races in Chilliwack, all seven incumbent electoral area directors at the Fraser Valley Regional District board are also facing at least one challenger. Area C director Wendy Bales, a strong voice for residents in the Lake Errock area who oppose

gravel mining and adoption of a regional plan to identify mine locations, is facing two opponents, corrections employee Colin Faulkner and realtor Mel Waardenberg. Area B director Dennis Adamson, an equally vocal critic of gravel mining in the region, is being challenged for his Yale-area seat by Andy Bishop, a freelance sound assistant working for B.C. films and musical groups. While gravel mining has been

far and away the most controversial issue in recent years around the FVRD board, other election candidates say cutting through “red tape” at the regional district tops their campaigns. In Area A, Jim Fougere, who is challenging long-time director and former FVRD chairman Lloyd Foreman, said the Boston BarNorth Bend communities need “new blood” and “new ideas” to create much-needed jobs.

NEED

“The regional district has to be more accessible,” he said. “We need to be helpful to people who come with new ideas.” Fougere sought election twice before to the FVRD board, but he said area residents have encouraged him to run again. “Even if I don’t win, at least I tried,” he said. Elementary school principal Taryn Dixon said there is no single issue that compelled her to run

against Dave Lamson, the incumbent in Area E that includes the Chilliwack River Valley, Columbia Valley and Cultus Lake. “I love living up here, and I want to do what I can to give back to the community,” she said. Dixon said how to manage growth in the area where gravel mining and logging vie with protection of the area’s natural assets is a top concern for her. Continued: VALLEY/ p12

Motel, RV park proposed in Popkum development Robert Freeman The Progress A three-storey motel, restaurant, convenience store and gasoline station are being eyed in a rezoning application south of the Highway 9 traffic roundabout in Popkum. And redevelopment of the former Dinotown theme park in Bridal Falls is finally getting underway with construction of a clubhouse for a strata RV park expected to start next month. But the application to rezone the 2.9-hectare (seven-acre) property at 53003 Bunker Rd. has some hurdles yet to clear, including a public hearing and issues around traffic and septic treatment. There have been two earlier

commercial development proposals of the property, one in 1993 for a similar motel, retail, restaurant and retail complex, but it was not approved by the B.C. Transportation Ministry. A traffic study is “critical” to the success of the current project, FVRD staff said in a report, because of its proximity to the Highway 9 roundabout. The area is identified for commercial development in the Popkum-Bridal Falls official community plan, which also calls for a pedestrian underpass as “a required component of any significant commercial development” east of Highway 9. An FVRD study also said an underpass in that location is a “pri-

ority” to complete the community’s linear trail system. Fraser Health Authorities and the B.C. environment ministry must review the proposed septic system. The applicant is proposing to develop the property in stages, starting with the gas station and convenience store. A second development proposal for the property in 2001 was also similar, but a key part of that project was a fueling facility for commercial transport trucks, which the community objected to, and so it was abandoned by the applicant. The site is part of a larger 17-acre property that was split in two by construction of Highway 9. It was used for housing and farming until

the late ‘80s, but has been vacant since the early ‘90s. Redevelopment of the Dinotown property at 53480 Bridal Falls Rd. has proved a rocky road for the new owners. Tri-Star Development Group principal Ron Sturm said he is dismayed that it took more than two years to get approval for a project that will turn “a tired, beat-up children’s park into a world-class facility that people can enjoy for years to come.” He said the proposal needed only a “minor” change in zoning to build a 200-lot bare land strata campground holiday park. Sturm credited Popkum area director Bill Dickey and FVRD general manager of community

■ B OOK S ALE S TARTS W ITH A B ANG

and regulatory services Suzanne Gresham for their support of the project. Dickey said in a report to the board that the Popkum-Bridal Falls community supported the application, and that it will have a “positive impact” on the local economy. Gresham said in a separate report that despite staff concerns “the interests of the community at large should prevail.” “On balance, it appears to me that the Bridal Falls business community is very desirous of ensuring that there are continued opportunities for economic development in the area, both now and in the future,” she said. rfreeman@theprogress.com

The 2011 Business Conference at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel features the first public allcandidates’ event of this fall’s municipal election campaign. The format will be more presentation style than debate, given that there are 21 candidates vying for a seat, said conference chair Kirk Dzaman. But there may be some time allotted for rebuttals. “Candidates will be given three minutes to make their opening statements,” he said. Moderator David Sliman will guide candidates as they answer a range of pre-submitted questions about election platforms and positions, as well as questions from the public coming from the floor. The all-candidates’ meeting at the Coast is open to the public, and it will run from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. during the 2011 Business Conference, presented by the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce and CEPCO. Organizers are asking everyone interested to RSVP to info@chilliwackchamber.com to give them an idea of attendee numbers. On Friday night keynote speakers at the conference will be Chris Emery and Larry Finnson, creators of Clodhoppers, ranked among the top candy brands in Canada according to A.C.

‘Domestic assault’ leads police to marijuana grow-op The Progress Police responding to a possible domestic assault in the 8900-block of Glenwood Street earlier this month found a marijuana grow-op in the residence.

Three people were arrested, a 36-year-old Vancouver man who owns the home, and a 31-yearold man and a 40-year-old woman who had been living there since May. All are facing charges of production of a controlled

substance. The 700 marijuana plants, discovered during the standard “safety search” of a residence when police respond to a domestic assault report, were located on the lower floor. Half the plants were

3-4 feet high, and the other half were juveniles. The grow-op was dismantled after police obtained a search warrant, and a municipal ‘No Occupancy’ order was placed on the residence by city bylaw enforcement officers.

A WIDE VARIETY OF FOOTWEAR TO FIT A WIDE VARIETY OF FEET.

IT’S WHAT MOTIVATES.

A hydro bypass was also located, and further charges of theft of electricity may be laid. “Whatever way we can come upon marijuana grow-ops, we’ll certainly take it,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.

If police can reduce the crime that marijuana grow operation generate, she said, it will meet the objectives of the RCMP’s three-year strategic plan to keep Chilliwack and other Fraser Valley communities safe.

Strong interest in the Chilliwack municipal election continues with 21 candidates coming forward by the Friday deadline. Realtor and lifelong resident Brenda Currie, 55, said she has always wanted to serve on council, in part to expand the “business values” responsible for so much success in Chilliwack. “At a time when we may be facing a worldwide recession, I don’t believe that it is in the best interest of any of us to risk losing our focus on creating jobs and helping our local economy,” Currie said in a release. As mother of three boys, she’s cognizant of how crucial good-paying jobs are for local families. “I’m going to do my part to bring those jobs here,” said Currie. Attracting large employers to Chilliwack, like Stream, as well as more medium and small businesses, is part of her platform. Currie, an avid charity-advocate, noted that Chilliwack is losing an “incredibly dedicated” woman councillor with the retirement of longtime member Pat Clark. “I believe that council needs strong, business-minded women, like myself, to run and try to follow in her capable footsteps.” Making Chilliwack healthier and more prosperous are part of Ron Browne’s election platform. “Chilliwack is a caring community,

He’s been married to Nancy for 45 years and they have two grown children. “Throughout my career in health care leadership, I developed strong teamwork in the organizations I led and the communities I lived in.” A retired hospital CEO who spent 15 years as CEO of two Canadian hospitals, Brown has been a member of the Mayor’s Committee on Health for three years. As a local Rotarian, he chaired the Chilliwack Rotary Club’s health awareness committee. He also did a stint as Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services, and holds a private pilot licence, volunteering as a spotter in the Civil Air Search Rescue Association “I am eager to provide that leadership as a member of City Council and help make our city even better for our families and businesses,” he said in a release. Job creation, maintaining low taxes, and crime prevention are Browne’s priorities. His website goes live next week at www.ronbrowneforchilliwack.ca.

Crowded field for school board Twenty-four names will be featured on this year’s school trustee election ballot sheet – more than three times the number from the last election. As the 4 p.m. deadline loomed Friday, an additional handfull of potential candidates submitted their names. Bar r y Neufeld, Kirsten Brandreth, Nicki Redekopp and Audrey Stollings will be running. Neufeld is a familiar face at the board level. He ser ved as Chilliwack trustee for 15 years before electing not to run last term due to conflicts with furthering his education as well as needing a bit of rejuvenation. He went back to school and obtained his master’s of arts in chaplaincy. “I was kind of running out of what I thought were new and fresh ideas,” he said. “So I went back to school and I took a lot of courses in strategic planning, leadership and governance.” If elected, Neufeld plans to focus on all aspects of education, not just the examinable portions. “I believe that all our students need to experience a sense of mastery in our school district,” he said. “The Fraser Institute would

tend to put pressure on school districts just to focus on a student’s ability to master writing exams, but there is more to education than that. We shouldn’t be focusing on just one set of skills as being worthy of encouraging. We should be a more holistic, all-rounded system, recognizing different kinds of skills that can be mastered within the public school system.” Kirsten Brandreth, a mother of two, has been supporting public education at the parent level for over 16 years. She has volunteered in several capacities at schools, has sat on numerous committees, was president of the Chilliwack District Parents’ Advisor y Council (DPAC) for the maximum fouryear term, has worked with the provincial B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisor y Councils, and is now the current vice president of DPAC. For more than four years, she has rarely missed a public board meeting.

“I am a positive, energetic, outgoing person, while at the same time, I can be assertive and have no fear asking difficult questions when needed,” said Brandreth, who has worked in the insurance industry for 29 years and has held a managerial position for 15 years. Brandreth wants to bring better technology support to the district, increase communication between all stakeholders in the school community, and help to create a more functional, cohesive board that supports its senior administrative team. “Last, but certainly not least, I want to create an environment that is productive and efficient,” she said. Nicki Redekopp believes her financial background would be a huge asset as a trustee. For 10 years, Redekopp and her husband have run their home-based bookkeeping and tax return business, Redibooks

Playing for the cameras Like many politicians, Premier Christy Clark has never met a TV camera she didn’t like. She took her zeal for the lens to new levels when she suggested during last week’s throne speech that television cameras should be allowed into courtrooms during the trials of those charged in the Stanley Cup riots. Clark said since they had no problem doing their crimes before the cameras, they would have no problem with their trials being in front of cameras, a statement that had some wondering if she hadn’t already convicted them before their day in court. Naturally, the New Democrats jumped on her suggestion. MLA Kathy Corrigan, the party’s public safety critic, called Riot TV a gimmick. The premier insisted her suggestion wasn’t a political stunt because opening up the courts is part of opening up government. That may be the case, but her suggestion is arbitrary. If courtrooms are to be open to television cameras, is this not a change that should be debated in the legislature and other public forums? Cameras in the courtroom would constitute a major shift in justice policy in this country. The United States has allowed them for decades. There are many who believe it’s been a good thing because it’s made the justice system accountable. Others believe the cameras bring an artificially high level of melodrama that subverts the justice process. Theoretical logic aside, there is also the financial cost such a system would impose on a government already strapped to pay for basics like health, education and enough judges to keep the court system moving. Prosecuting the rioters is a hot button topic in these parts, and Clark recognizes that. However, her suggestion smacks of attempting to endear herself to the electorate without carrying out the proper process to make the change. Allowing cameras in the courtroom is worth debating. If adopted it should be implemented with forethought and planning, and not arbitrarily. ~ Black Press

Wall Street protests lack coherent message The protest against big business and big banks this weekend seemed more like a pick-a-gruntday than anything focused and organized. There were more questions on what it was about than on a central issue with reachable solutions. The demonstrations became a launching pad for all other perceived grievances – aboriginal rights, health and poverty complaints, labour issues, environmental causes, end national banks, forgive debts, stop global warming and so on.. Cluttering a public demonstration misses an opportunity to get a single, important message out. Inspired by New York’s Occupy Wall Street movement (which apparently was an idea spawned here in Vancouver by Adbusters magazine) a few weeks ago, the movement spread to 15 cities across Canada as well as

around the world when city parks became campgrounds and thousands marched through various financial districts. The stand against corporate greed in the U.S., where millions are jobless, losing homes and losing hope for any end in sight might make sense. But Canada fared better in the 2008 recession, our banks are betMargaret ter organized and EVANS regulated than U.S. banks, and our economy continued to tick over. Stacked against scores of other countries, Canada emerged a pack leader. We can at least boast a decent and attainable health care system, safety and security, housing (outside of the obvious high end locales) and the

democratic right to the freedom of speech. The demonstrators protested against what they see as a corporate system favouring the rich at the expense of the majority – that other 99 per cent. On their website they state that “the ninety-nine per cent come together with our diverse experiences to transform the unequal, unfair, and growing disparity in the distribution of power and wealth in our city and around the globe.” They argued the system is broken and that wealth distribution is lopsided. Young people can’t get jobs and the middle class is disappearing. Just how accurate that is debatable but it at least deserves attention. According to a report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Canada’s richest 1 per cent (about 246,000 people) took almost one third (32 per

cent) of all income growth in the decade from 1997-2007. That’s a greater percentage than ever before. Yet among those wealthy individuals, 67.6 per cent of their income came from working wages just like the rest of Canadians. A similar report by the Conference Board of Canada highlighted the same trend. “Canada had the fourth largest income inequality among its peers,” said Anne Golden, President and CEO of the Conference Board in a press release. “Even though the U.S. currently has the largest richpoor income gap among these countries, the gap in Canada has been rising at a faster rate. As we highlighted in our analysis of Canadian income inequality in July, high inequality both raises a moral question about fairness and can contribute to social tensions. In Canada, the gap between the

rich and poor has widened over two decades, especially compared to our peer countries.” The tension that Golden referred seems to be the focus of the demonstrations. But the success of democracy is built on the ability of those who seize opportunities and build successful companies that offer employment, lead in research and development, profit from expansion, offer further job opportunities and have a stake in the nation’s economy. Just what the demonstrators want to change isn’t clear. The message, the intent, is muddied and if they want to get politicians, policy makers and corporate leaders to listen, they need to mobilize around a leader of their own with clarity, vision and the ability to structure the problem in such a way that others are willing to sit and listen.

Walter Used To Eat Frozen Dinners Alone

Chilliwack makes the connection Today I attended Chilliwack Connect at the First Avenue Alliance Church The promoters and organizers should truly pat themselves on the back. It was wonderful – so many people from all walks of life enjoying the talents of others. The food was excellent and the music fabulous. When Patsy left the stage to serenade several people in the audience, she brought a tear to

my eyes. I have seen some of these people at the local shelter, but never had I seen someone tip back their baseball caps and sing love into their eyes, (well done, Patsy). Also, watching people arrive for their free haircuts was so captivating. Many arrived really needing more than a little hair or beard work, the transformation of not only their hair but their countenance was amazing.

Sad tale not typical Thank you for the article on the tire slashings. (Chilliwack RCMP confirm tire slasher targeting U.S. fishermen, Progress, Oct. 11.) We too were visiting Americans and had our tires slashed. This was so unlike the past experiences we have had in Canada. In fact we lived in Saskatchewan for ten years and never experienced any anti-American sentiment. Thank you again for bringing this sad tale to light. Larry L. Jerke, Parker, SD. USA

There were also pedicures and lots of other free stuff. I heard a local spa, Undine’s, closed their doors on Saturday so they could provide these much needed services. To each one who gave in their own way, I say a big thank you. Yes, Chilliwack is not only the Greenheart of B.C., but the heart of B.C. I am so grateful to live in such a community. Anne White

Given that we all rely on healthy air, water and soil, and that volunteering can provide as much as 800 per cent return on investment (National Council on Aging “The Boomer Solution: Skilled Talent to Meet Nonprofit Needs”), I have to question the government’s priorities.

However I think we would be better served to perhaps spend $27,453,000 commemorating the War of 1812 and $547,000 supporting the Canadian Environmental Network. I imagine that our preCanadian ancestors would agree that investing in our future is more important than investing in our past. Ian Stephen, Chilliwack, BC

Yellow-tinged salmon carcasses showing up in local rivers this fall are raising red flags. Longtime Chilliwack angler Chris Gadsden said he was shocked to find a yellowcoloured chinook salmon recently in the Vedder Canal. “I’d never seen one like that before, in my 30 plus years of fishing the Vedder,” he said. He was so concerned, he went ahead and sent some samples to DFO by Greyhound bus for analysis. Gadsden, 68, has a growing number of questions about

what he found, especially in light of biologist Alexandra Morton’s decision to sound the alarm on the appearance of yellow salmon, suggesting they may be suffering from a form of salmon jaundice. But the yellow colouring of the carcass found in the Vedder is “not particularly” unusual, according to Lara Sloan, DFO media spokesperson, in an e-mailed response to The Progress. “Even live fall or white Chinook have variation including gold and reddish colours,” she said. DFO technicians regularly

DFO technicians regularly “assess and collect various biological information” from Vedder River chinook carcasses, from the hatchery to Keith Wilson Bridge. “Included in those details would be evidence of prespawn mortality. “We will also collect carcass condition, lengths, scales, otoliths and heads for CWT purposes,” Sloan reported. “The crew just started on Tuesday and have seen very few carcasses. “There have been no reports of anything unusual at this time. Gadsden said he started asking questions after hearing that Morton had been in the Fraser Valley recently looking into stories of pre-spawn mortality of sockeye and coho, in Fraser River tributaries feeding into the Harrison River. Dr. Morton had this to day about the yellow salmon she found on Oct 5: “I am now examining the brains of these dying salmon myself, because I have lost all confidence in DFO,” wrote Dr. Morton on her blog last week. “On my trip up the Fraser River two days ago I also found four yellow pink salmon. Even the cartilage inside the fish’s head was yellow. Dr. Laura Richards, DFO’s director general of science for the Pacific region, was asked some very specific questions in an open letter by Morton to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, about links between the dying salmon and a disease in farmed salmon caused by a type of salmon leukemia. “I want your report on these jaundice farm salmon and the jaundice pink salmon that DFO must be aware of – why are they yellow, why are there so many of them, is this the Chilean virus Dr. Marty notes and how would such a virus get here? “We know some of the fish farmers in B.C.

also have operations in Chile,” wrote Morton. “Funding provided by the public is currently being used to study jaundice that is killing farm Chinook salmon. Please send a progress report to us.” Morton asserted that

Some will even have games and prizes. “It gives the students a chance to share what they know about that topic with the public, and allows them to be creative when developing the display and making sure it’s evidence based,” says Edwards. “The public can certainly learn something about topics that may be important to them or their family members.” “There’s something for everybody,” adds Edwards, citing that there will be information about infant care to older men and women with heart disease. UFV nursing students have hosted the public health fairs for more than 10 years. This year, the event takes place on a professional development day, allowing school-aged kids to observe and take part.

Natural Farmhouse Cheese owner Debra Amrein-Boyes, and Dan Stefenson, executive director of Tourism Abbotsford. Stefenson outlined the importance of the marketing efforts that promote the Circle Farm Tour for each of the five communities involved. In addition to Agassiz-Harrison Mills, they are Abbotsford, Langley, Chilliwack and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows. Each community’s group of businesses or farms participating in the program is required to pay $4,000 for the wider, regional marketing that promotes the Circle Farm Tour. The District has awarded the program

$1,000 each of the past two years. That leaves $3,000 to come out of the pockets of the businesses involved. Stefenson told council that a 2008 survey found that 92 per cent of Circle Farm Tour visitors spent money while visiting a farm business. On average, those 2,405 visitors spent about $27, equalling a total of $650,000 that year. That doesn’t even include the amount spent on items such as gas, hotels, coffees or at other non-Circle Farm Tour businesses. “I think the important thing is it benefits the whole community,” Leon said. The local group of Circle Farm Tour businesses currently are behind with their $4,000 obligation to the larger regional group.

“But they’re being patient for the money,” Leon added. Each business already pays to be a part of the program, paying for ad space in this community’s brochures. Council assured the Circle Farm Tour delegation that they would forward their request onto their financial officer, who was absent from the meeting due to annual holidays. In Agassiz, the Circle Farm Tour businesses are Valedoorn Farms, Tulips of the Valley, the Agassiz-Harrison Museum and Visitor Info Centre, Canadian Hazelnut, The Back Porch, Farm House Natural Cheeses, Limber t Mountain Farm, Kilby Historic Site and Tulips of the Valley.

News Fire destroys Brooks Ave. home No one was injured in a fire that destroyed an unoccupied Brooks Avenue home early Friday night. But the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pet dog died in the fire that ripped through the home in the 46000-block Brooks Ave. at about 6 p.m. The cause of the blaze is under investigation by police and fire officials. Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said fortunately the tenants had left the house earlier Friday, but the dog was not so lucky.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;TRUST THE PROS AT TIRELANDâ&#x201E;˘â&#x20AC;?

He said the one-storey, single-family home was fully involved when fire crews arrived and flames were â&#x20AC;&#x153;rolling out the front windows.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire crews managed to knock the fire down quickly to prevent the fire from extending into a detached garage located at the back of the property,â&#x20AC;? he said. There was extensive fire, smoke and water damage to most of the house. The investigation into the cause continued Monday.

Chilliwack’s U-16 soccer Strikers hosted Royal City United at Townsend Park on Sunday, blanking the visitors 2-0. Through 40 minutes, most of the action was in the midfield. Chilliwack broke through the Royal City D a handful of times with glorious opportunities for forwards Emily Finley, Makayla Pfeifer and Haley Mainse. But none of their shots hit the target and the first half ended scoreless. Chilliwack stepped on the gas in the second half, using short passes and hard checking to maintain possession. Nevertheless, it took until the 38 minute mark for the Strikers to finally score. Taylor Allen was fouled outside the 18 yard box, giving the locals a direct free kick. Kristy Ricard made no mistake, picking a spot dead center, just under the crossbar. The Royal City keeper only got fingertips on it as it sailed over her head. With less than a minute remaining in the game, Chilliwack midfielder Emma Haagensen sent a perfect pass to Kiana Thiessen at the top of the 18. Thiessen chipped her shot past the sprawling netminder, catching the bottom corner to seal the victory. Chilliwack finds themselves tied for first in the early-season standings, hitting the road this weekend for a pair of games.

BREAKING NEWS: Gold prices continue to soar!

ROADSHOW HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN CHILLIWACK! By: Michael Ross Great Canadian Roadshow

fter two successful weeks in Williams Lake, the roadshow is headed to Chilliwack! So you better search through your attics and basements, go through your lock boxes and jewelry, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold, and silver. During our show in Victoria, a woman came in with a jewelry box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear jewelry,â&#x20AC;? explained Cheryl Barnes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell itâ&#x20AC;?. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewelry she was never going to wear anyways. Expert Cliff Edwards explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently trading at. He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Roadshow is great because it puts money in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewelry boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot! â&#x20AC;?. At another Roadshow event, a woman walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her DV D \RXQJ FKLOG E\ KHU JUDQGIDWKHU 6KH ÂżQDOO\ GHFLGHG to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Raymond Flack explains â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!!

KOBES Kingston Reid October 2, 2011 Three weeks before his due date and before he could take a breath in this world, the Lord in His inKOBES ﬁnite wisdom took our beloved son up into eternal glory and spared him the pain of this world. We’ve never heard Kingston’s voice, but we know he is singing before the throne of God and of the Lord Jesus. Kingston is the cherished son of Richard and Krista Kobes and a beloved brother to Parker, Deakan and Presley. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33: 20-22 We’d like to thank everyone for the amazing love and support during this difﬁcult time. A special thanks to all the staff at Chilliwack General Hospital Maternity Ward, with special mention of Nicole, Shelley, Esmeralda, Natasha, Dr. Smith, Dr. Smit and Dr. Basson.

MACLACHLAN Morag

Born December 24th, 1920. Passed away peacefully on October 7, 2011 at the Vancouver General Hospital. Predeceased by husband Ian Maclachlan; brother Ian Campbell and nephew Jamie Campbell. Lovingly survived by sister Mary Mishra (Naren); nephews Gord Campbell (Dereth); John Plane (Angela Fahy); David Plane (Rosemary); nieces

Sheila Mishra (Jagannath Chingunde); Veena Mishra; Pratibha Sarkar (Anil); and Goddaughter Marion Campbell. Morag was a strong independent woman who lost her husband after less than one year of marriage. She went on to become an avid historian graduating from UBC in 1972 with an MA thesis on the “Fraser Valley Milk Producers’ Association: Successful Cooperative.” Her last teaching post was at Langara College in Vancouver and in 1983 she retired as head of the History and Political Science Department. One of her highlights as a historian was editing “The Fort Langley Journals - 182730” and seeing this work published in 1998. Morag grew up in Chilliwack, and as an adult purchased a cabin at Cultus Lake from her father. She spent some wonderful years at the lake, and “Argyle” won’t be the same without her. God be with you Auntie Mo. We will miss you terribly. A social gathering to remember Morag will be held at the Celebration Hall, which is located inside the Mountain View Cemetery, 5445 Fraser Street, Vancouver (entrance at 39th and Fraser) on Friday October 21, 2011 starting at 2:00 P.M.
