Hope fades for missing man

■ C ANDY C ANE H UNT

Robert Freeman The Progress The search for Robert-Jan Planje, missing from his Ashwell Road home for more than a week, continues although a positive outcome is looking unlikely. “We’re still looking for him, but the outcome is looking increasingly bleak, if we haven’t located him by this point,” RCMP Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said Monday. He confirmed a “person of interest” in the case is being held in custody “on other matters,” but he could not release a name until a charge is formally laid. Planje was reported missing Dec. 12 after police were called to investigate an altercation at the Ashwell Road home. Colleen Crook, a close friend of Planje, said he called her Sunday after getting into an altercation with a man he had taken into his home through his work at the Gypsy Project. Planje, 64, is the secretary of the organization formed to help the homeless. Continued: MISSING/ p5

Study calls for major transit boost The Progress The long-awaited Fraser Valley Transit study quietly appeared online Thursday, with a clear focus on local transit improvements. The study by the province and FVRD with partners BC Transit and TransLink, looked at local, regional and inter-regional transit needs of Fraser Valley communities from Abbotsford to Hope. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz was relieved the $400,000 transit report was finally released so the community can move forward. “It gives us a long range vision for local transit in each Fraser Valley community, as well as a vision for regional service. “The main part that jumped out

for me was the crucial need for new funding sources to be found,” she said. The study pointed out Chilliwack spends $9 annually per capita on transit through property taxes, which is among the lowest in B.C., compared to other mid-sized communities. Kamloops spends $26 per capita, while Victoria spends $40, as examples. “It’s tough right now,” said Gaetz. “We’re under pressure to keep taxes low, and we know transit is highly subsidized so we have to look if a share of costs can be borne in other areas. It’s about finding a new funding mechanism.” More than tripling local bus service is called for under the study’s vision, going from the current total

of 40 buses to 135 by 2040, and the annual costs would then jump from about $10 million to $80 million, contingent on new revenue sources being found. That’s a 600 per cent projected increase in local bus services for Chilliwack according to the study, and about 450 per cent for Abbotsford to support “primary travel markets” in the valley. Transit advocate Jennifer Bigham, who called herself the Chill-activist, was impressed by the study’s recommendations for major increases to local bus service across the valley. “It’s long overdue. My initial reaction is that it’s going to be good for us,” she said. A new transit governance structure “is exactly what we need” to

amalgamate services from neighbouring communities, Bigham said. “The fact that they’re ready to do anything is good, but it’s going to take a lot just to catch up.” Finding new funding sources and a new structure is key, agreed Gaetz. “No matter what kind of transit service we choose, it underscores that the current model is unsustainable,” said the mayor. “So we’re looking forward to working with BC Transit in the new year to figure out the best options for Chilliwack.” A new governance model, something akin to a Trans Link, might be a good place to start, said Gaetz. But hands-down the biggest priority for all valley communities

is “growing local ridership,” especially since most riders don’t go beyond the city borders, said the mayor. “What the study pointed out was the need to expand our local ridership, to make it grow from one per cent to four per cent” over the next 20 years, said Gaetz. “There are some who have said we could do that by putting in an inter-urban rail line from Chilliwack to Vancouver, but what the report indicates is that it’s highly desirable, but cost prohibitive.” The study estimated the rail option would cost $70 million. So although Gaetz said she agrees with preserving the rail line for future service potential, it’s “too expensive” right now. Continued: RAIL/ p9

Fraser Health seeks private clinics for surgeries, scans Jeff Nagel Black Press Fraser Health may turn to private clinics to provide some MRI scans, cataract operations and general surgery as it tries to cut wait times for a variety of procedures. The contracting out strategy is

outlined in a request for proposals that calls for private health providers to submit bids by Dec. 29. Any contracts signed would be for one year with options to extend for another four, according to the document, which says Fraser Health wants to “establish longterm relationships” with service providers. No fees would be charged to patients who are served in the private clinics. But NDP health critic Adrian Dix said the strategy makes no sense

because the private procedures are almost certain to cost more than using the health authority’s own MRI scanners and operating rooms, which remain underused. “We’ve already paid for new MRI machines in Burnaby and Peace Arch through community contributions,” Dix said. “The idea that the community could contribute millions of dollars to go buy MRIs – which paid for the fixed costs – and then that we wouldn’t use them is not only poor policy but it’s disrespectful

to all the people who made those contributions.” Fraser Health in 2009 capped the number of MRI scans it would fund as one of many budget-restraint measures, lengthening waits. Money has since come back to the authority through the province’s pay-for-performance strategy to help fund more MRIs and reduce wait times. A similar re-injection of cash, intended to foster efficiency and innovation, is underway to tackle backlogs of elective surgeries,

after operating room activity was scaled back over the summer. Dix dubbed it an “artificially created crisis” that the government could fix by simply fully using the hospitals and equipment it already has. Fraser Health has B.C.’s longest wait times for MRIs, he said, citing a survey earlier this year that found waits of 16 months or longer at some of the region’s largest hospitals.

Spiritual care is back bedside at CGH Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Word spread quickly last fall when the spiritual care practitioner at the local hospital was axed in a series of Fraser Health cutbacks made to balance a $160 million budget shortfall. But perhaps fewer know the service has been restored at CGH, just a year later — the result of the unwavering support from Chilliwack’s faith community. Jim Gaetz took on the role as spiritual care coordinator at the Chilliwack General Hospital in September. But in terms of the future there’s a bit of a question mark and it’s all contingent on securing funding for the position, which may be better known as a hospital chaplain. “We do hope it will continue,” said Garry Janzen, lead associate pastor for Central Community Church. They were asked to spearhead the effort, which involved tapping Jim Gaetz on the shoulder to take over the “volunteer” position in the hospital, supported by Chilliwack Ministerial Association, and other local churches. It happened because they simply could not stand by and watch a vital community service disappear. “As a church we thought that was too bad because we know there is definitely a need for people in hospital to have spiritual care. “Community is a big interest of Central Community Church, so we started thinking about how we could partner with the hospital to do something about it,” he said. Chilliwack Ministerial joined the effort and along with other churches to fund and maintain the role of a spiritual care coordinator at CGH. “The first step toward the funding was provided at the annual citywide prayer service,” Janzen recounted. “That was the seed money to get it all started. And it wasn’t just a couple of churches, it was the community of multi-denominational churches. “They cheered for it. They really rallied to make it happen.” So the message was that local

reps were not going to just sit around fretting about the cutbacks. “The need was present and the Ministerial responded,” he said. “Everybody contributes. We basically committed to it for a year.” Health care officials also took part in the discussions. “They recognized the value of it and we saw the need,” the pastor recounted. Diane Janzen, a city councillor who chairs the Mayor’s Committee on Health, said the spiritual community really stepped up to the plate to make this happen. “In my opinion it’s a much needed service and it’s going extremely well,” she said. “It came from a partnership between the faith community and the health sector.” The position runs until September 2011 at this point, but it’s not clear

what will happen after that. “Our goal is to keep it going as long as possible,” Janzen said. Gaetz is on duty at CGH every day, Monday to Friday, and on-call with his BlackBerry on weekends, in the half-time position. He acknowledged “it’s a tough time” financially for charities and non-profit groups, especially those still reeling from funding cuts and the recession’s bite. “Nobody has tons of extra money.” But the feedback he’s gotten to date has been extremely positive about the reinstatement of spiritual care at CGH. Staff are readjusting to it, and starting to mention it to patients again. “Everyone I’ve spoken to seems really thankful there is someone

there who will take the time to talk to them,” said Gaetz. “Many people heard the service was cut, but I have heard that possibly many more were not aware it had been reinstated.” It’s crucial because people are at their most vulnerable at these times, receiving the shock of a terminal diagnosis, or having a loved one die, and they might seek words of comfort from a spiritual advisor. “I help them walk through it,” Gaetz said. Sometimes he just sits with them quietly in their time of need. “It’s a privilege to be there at those times when people are hurting and alone. It’s an opportunity to befriend them and care for them.” For more information about spiritual care at CGH call 604-792-8037 or e-mail office@centraljourney.org

IT’S WHAT MOTIVATES.

‘Tis the season to be wary. Christmas is an emotional time, and heartless thieves are making the most of the opportunity to prey upon the elderly. One of the nastier scams involves duping old people into sending money to a family member in trouble. A Chilliwack grandfather got a call recently from his granddaughter in Toronto who had been in a car accident, and could he please send her $3,500? But the money had to be wired to someone other than the granddaughter. “Right away red flags went off in my head,” said the husband of the man’s granddaughter here in Chilliwack. (The Progress is not publishing any names to protect the victims from further calls.) The husband said his wife’s grandfather’s “saving grace” was that he didn’t know how to wire the money. “I was sure my sister-in-law was not in Toronto,” he said, and advised against sending the money. He said his wife’s grandfather is “a very smart guy,” and he was surprised he was duped by the woman caller pretending to be his granddaughter. Continued: SCAM/ p5

Steve Hiscoe (standing) an eighth degree black belt, has been practicing jiu-jitsu for 35 years. While it started out as a way of learning self defense, it’s become a passion for teaching others how to not become prey to potential attackers. JENNA HAUCK/ THE PROGRESS

Teaching protection a passion Police officer celebrates 35 years practising and teaching jiu-jitsu, a martial arts that specializes in self defense Katie Bartel The Progress With fatherly pride shooting through his veins, Steve Hiscoe dreams of his youngest son taking over “the empire.” But not for another 35 years at least, he smiled. Sensei Hiscoe, an eighth degree jiu jitsu black belt, celebrated his 35th year of training last month, a milestone that’s somewhat uncommon in the martial arts mastery – especially on the West Coast. “When I moved here in 1989, there was no jiu-jitsu,” said Hiscoe, who grew up in Ottawa. He helped change that. Hiscoe was seven years old when he came home from school one day complaining of a brush-up he’d had in the schoolyard. He hadn’t had any problems with bullying before then, and was generally a well-liked kid, but his parents weren’t taking chances. “For my parents, there were three things that we as kids needed to learn,” said Hiscoe. “We needed to learn how to ride a bike, how to swim, and how to protect ourselves. That was important to them.” Hiscoe, his younger brother and his dad all signed up for jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu, which translates into gentle art, is

a Japanese-style martial arts system that was built on the premise of self defense. It was developed by Samurai warriors in medieval Japan as a way of defending themselves when unarmed. The Can-Ryu style, which Hiscoe practices, was developed in the 1970s by Canadian police officer Georges Sylvain, who served in the Korean war, was the chief instructor for the RCMP’s self defense instructors, and had trained in several martial arts mediums. “He took all the bits and pieces of his military and police training to develop our style,” said Hiscoe. Can-Ryu focus on rolling, falling, hold escapes, throwing, grappling and striking techniques to defend against punching, kicking and weapons attacks. All of which are key elements in self defense. But practicing jiu-jitsu was about more than just learning self defense for Hiscoe. It was also an opportunity to bond with his dad as the two of them moved up through the ranks. “My dad and I got our black belts on the same day,” he said. “There were several times when we’d be watching TV and a technique would pop into one our heads and all of a sudden, we’d be moving the furniture out of the way to try it out.” When Hiscoe came to B.C. with the RCMP in 1989, he didn’t want to leave that passion behind. In 1992, he opened Hiscoe Jiu-Jitsu. The school had meager beginnings; hardly anyone knew about jiu-jitsu back then, Hiscoe said. But gradually, the sport became more recognized. Over the years Hiscoe has built a network

that extends throughout the Lower Mainland, Interior B.C. and even Alberta. He co-founded Jiu-Jitsu B.C., a non-profit organization to promote the sport. And has traveled across North America and internationally to promote the sport and advance his skills. In Ontario, his dad, a ninth-degree black belt, heads Hiscoe School of Jiu-Jitsu. It’s their empire. “When dad retires, I’ll take over the organization,” he said. “One day we’re going to need somebody to take over the empire ... there’s definitely an avenue for [my son] to progress and evolve and to one day pick up where daddy leads off.” In 35 years, Hiscoe has graduated 30 black belts, but only a handful are still actively practicing. It’s common for people to drop off after awhile, he said. Jiu-jitsu is a huge commitment, and sometimes family obligations, careers and other interests get in the way. But for Hiscoe and his dad, that wasn’t an option. “I’m proud that I was able to start in one style and stay in that style for this amount of time,” he said. “This is probably going to sound corny, but my dad was a firefighter and I’m a policeman. Everybody has a calling and ours, somehow by default, was teaching people how to protect themselves. That’s what it’s about. That’s where our passion lies.” Hiscoe now teaches out of Valley Shidokan Karate located on Young Road.

After a long year of working with dogs and showing off at fairs, the Chilliwack 4H Dog Club comes to an end for the year 2010. The club had 28 awesome members who worked with their lovable, smart pooches training them in obedience, showmanship and agility. The dogs had their good and bad days for showing, but the handlers were proud of the dogs anyway. The club attended many events and activities throughout the year. In the early months there were club speeches and demonstrations. Congratulations to Victoria Hergott, who went on to win first at the junior district public speaking and second at the regionals; Julia Nord-Leth and Bailey Murphy who won first place at both the junior district and regional demonstration competitions; and Cheyanne Schwab and Kristie Webb who went on to place second at the senior district demonstrations. Also in the early months, 4H members gathered in several different locations for judging nights. They judged horses, meat hares, dairy, hay, chicken, rose shrubs, healthy lunches, market hogs, sheep, and even four golden retrievers from the local club. The next big, exciting event was the traditional Canada Day Agility in July. The Chilliwack 4H Dog Club was pleased to be a part of the Canada Day celebrations at Heritage Park, showing off agility skills in three courses for the public. This was good practice for upcoming fairs. There were three fairs this past year – the Maple Ridge Fair (July 24-25), the Chilliwack Fair (Aug. 6-8) and lastly the Agassiz Fall Fair (Sept. 18) – which had representation from several clubs. The Chilliwack club was represented well with members winning many ribbons and championships. The Club Achievement Day was Sept. 25. All club members were marked on obedience, showmanship, and agility to be combined with their other district event scores to determine their club scores/prizes for Awards Night. Awards Night was a fun “Red Carpet” affair, where several members received awards to be proud of. Cheyanne Schwab won High Sr. Aggregate. Victoria Hergott won High Jr. Aggregate.

If putting it in writing is not your style, you can always offer a floral bouquet. Flowers are the typical offering when you are invited to someone's home in the Netherlands, not surprising for a country famous for its tulips. The Dutch also exchange gifts on Sinterklaas, or Santa Claus Day, on December 5, which celebrates the actual feast day of Saint Nicholas for whom Santa Claus was named. On this day, people indulge in traditional Dutch cookies and candies, adults often make little presents or write poems for one another, and children receive a piece of chocolate in the shape of their first initial.

Israel very December, Jews around the world celebrate E Chanukah, the festival of lights or celebration of the Macabees' victory over the Greeks, who wanted

the Jews to give up their culture and faith in favor of a Hellenistic life in 166 B.C. After the Macabees won the war, they needed to rededicate their temple but only had enough oil for one day. Miraculously, the oil lasted eight days. As a result, Jews today light candles on the menorah for each of Hanukkah's eight nights and often they exchange gifts. Originally, Jews gave monetary presents to teach children about sharing and in Israel that sentiment remains. Parents often give their children "gelt," which are coinshaped chocolates wrapped in gold foil. Potato latkes and jelly doughnuts are the holiday's signature foods should you be invited to a Hanukkah celebration. The goal of the giver should be to provide a sweet thought as opposed to a fancy or expensive gift.

Small family presents are exchanged as well, either under the tree or in stockings near the fireplace, to be found in the morning. Christmas breakfast is a special sweet bread called 'cougnou' or 'cougnolle' - the shape is supposed to be like baby Jesus. Some families will have another big meal on Christmas day.

A Few Things You May Not Have Known About Christmas

he Christmas season is full of traditions, folklore and rich history. However, amid all of the traditions we’ve come to know, there are many bits of trivia of which you may not be familiar. Here are a few little-known facts about Christmas.

1. The first manufactured Christmas tree ornaments were sold in 1880 by the former Woolworth department store. 2. Christmas trees originally featured actual lighted candles, which were naturally a fire hazard. So containers filled with water had to be kept near the tree. The first printed reference to Christmas trees appeared in Germany in 1531.

3. The shortened form “Xmas” is actually derived from Christ’s name and has been popular in Europe since the 1500s. It is believed to be derived from the Greek word “Xristos,” which means Christ.

6. Silent Night was written in 1818, by an Austrian priest Joseph Mohr. He was told the day before Christmas that the church organ was broken and would not be prepared in time for Christmas Eve. He was saddened by this and could not think of Christmas without music, so he wanted to write a carol that could be sung by choir to guitar music. He sat down and wrote three stanzas. Later that night the people in the little Austrian Church sang “Stille Nacht” for the first time.

Catholics, among others, Candlemas celebrates the presentation of Jesus at the temple. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Candlemas is considered one of the twelve Great Feasts. The date can vary depending on the celebrants but is generally celebrated between the last week of January and the first few days of February.

or early February and celebrates the “New Year of the Trees.” Customs during Tu Bishvat include planting trees and eating dried fruits and nuts, in particular figs, dates, raisins, carob, and almonds. The flowering of the almond tree coincides with Tu Bishvat throughout Israel, where the almond tree grows wild.

Holiday Traditions

Devouring Fruitcake Facts The holidays and fruitcake have long been intertwined. Fruitcakes are often mocked, detested and discarded. Few gifted foods create such strong derision. However, fruitcake is tradition. And as most

people know, Christmas is all about tradition. Fruitcake is an enduring tradition, most simply because the food, well, endures. Most fruitcakes will last 8 to 12 months if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container. If frozen, their lifespan could be endless. Jokingly, many families have said fruitcake is the only food durable enough to become an heirloom. While mocked, it may entice a few people to know just how fruitcake has become a holiday treat.

Happy Holidays to you & your family!

Have a Great Christmas & may the New Year be prosperous for you and your loved ones!

In the 1700s, Europeans baked a ceremonial fruitcake at the end of the nut harvest. It was saved and eaten the following year at the harvest, with the hopes it would spur another successful harvest. Fruitcake evolved to more of a delicacy in the 1800s, even being served with tea in high society. It is rumored that Queen Victoria waited a year to eat a gifted fruitcake as a show of restraint and moderation.

We look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

The oldest references to fruitcake date back to Roman times. Ancient crusaders and hunters consumed fruitcake made with preserved fruits, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, raisins, and honey. Fruitcake was a durable commodity that could persevere on long trips. Because of its combination of ingredients, fruitcake was also a good source of energy, much the way a trail mix is good for today’s hikers.

HOLIDAYS Have a Safe & Happy New Year

Staple of Holiday Decor Has a Deep History

Mistletoe would later take on a more political meaning, as the ritual of cutting the mistletoe came to symbolize the emasculation of the old king by his successor. Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways or entryways from one room to another. This tradition can also trace itself back several centuries to the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages, branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings to ward off evil spirits. Throughout Europe, mistletoe was

604–795–9111 1-877-795-9111

placed over doorways in the house as well as the stables as a means to preventing the entrance of witches. The tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likely stems from the belief that mistletoe bestows fertility and is often associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a period of merrymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18th century England, a young lady standing underneath the mistletoe could not refuse to be kissed. Once kissed, the kiss would signify deep romance or eternal friendship. History also suggests that mistletoe was a symbol of peace. In Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace. When standing underneath the mistletoe, enemies could declare a truce and spouses could end any marital turmoil with a kiss.

Chances are, holiday revelers will find themselves underneath the mistletoe at least once this holiday season. While they might know what to do when that time comes, they might not know the history of that plant above their heads.

Brandon Magee has been looking forward to the eight day Christmas break for a while now. Heading home to Edmonton. Skating on the neighborhood outdoor rink and dressing up the tree on Christmas Eve. Good times. But truthfully, Magee is more interested in what happens afterwards. He’s not heading back to the Bruins, at least not immediately. Instead, Magee and Chilliwack teammate Steven Hodges are heading to Winnipeg for the World U-17 Hockey Challenge. The pair will skate for Team Pacific in the 10 team tournament running Dec. 29 to Jan. 4. Magee and Hodges have been identified as two of the best 16-year-old skaters in the country. They join Carter Berg, Kevin Sundher and Ryan Howse as the only Bruins to ever skate in the tourney. “I’m just really excited to put on a Canadian jersey and have an opportunity to play with a select group of guys,” Magee said. “When you wear red and white, there’s a lot of pride on the line. You want to do the best for that team and come out with the gold medal.” Hockey Canada’s website contains a list of 1,132 athletes who’ve played at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge and gone on to be drafted by

National Hockey League teams. The list of Team Pacific alumni is impressive and includes Calgar y Flames superstar Jarome Iginla (1994), sure-fire Hall of Fame defenceman Scott Niedermayer (1990) and Colorado Avalanche legend Joe Sakic (1986). “It is a big honour and this could be my only opportunity to wear a Canadian jersey,” Magee said. “Hopefully it’s not, but if it is I’m going to try and do my best.” Magee has prior experience at a tournament of this sort. Last year he skated for Team Alberta’s U-16 squad. “We were able to win gold at the Canada Western Challenge,” he

described. “It was it will be too hard a good experience because we’re all because you’ve got pretty good players, to come together as and every team at a group.

try together,” Magee commented. “We have a good relationship and we compete a little bit. Having him around helps push me to be a better player.” So smooth has Magee’s transition to the WHL been that early last week he found himself skating on Chilliwack’s first line. With Ryan Howse away at the Canadian National Junior Team selection camp, Magee moved into the vacant spot alongside Roman Horak and Robin Soudek. It speaks volumes about how much the coaching staff trusts the youngster. “It was a great experience playing with those two guys, because they move the puck so well,” Magee said. “I was

kind of surprised when they put me on that line, but it was fun.” Magee has spent most of this season moving between lines, and that versatility will help him in Winnipeg, where he may be asked to play any number of roles. He has shown offensive ability, but he has also embraced the defensive game and shown a tenacious side — the ability to get under an opponent’s skin. “Defence wins you championships, so that’s first for me,” Magee said. “I try to do a little bit of everything, and if I can get someone off their game, I’m doing my job.” Follow the World U-17 Hockey Challenge at www. hockeycanada.ca.

What happens to the real estate market during the holidays? Many people may think that the holiday season is the worst time to try to sell (or buy) a home. This theory is actually incorrect in the case of real estate. While home sales traditionally slow from November until January, they certainly do not stop. During this period it is not at all unusual for a number of homes to be sold. Who buys homes during this period? Buyers, not lookers! These buyers tend to be without children and looking to ‘move up’. This is especially good news for sellers of high-end market homes. Buyers during this period also include job transferees, professionals on the move, those who have no other time to look for a new home, those

Hello, my name is Corny Woelders, I am one of the proud owners of Landmark Realty Chilliwack. I am married and have two great kids. I grew up in Chilliwack and graduated from C.S.S.S. (a long time ago) and then moved to Abbotsford where I met my wife of 23 years. I predominately worked in the poultry and dairy industry and also ran our own Poultry Farm. I became a realtor a number of years ago and worked out of the Landmark Abbotsford office. However, I found myself selling a lot of homes in Chilliwack for friends and family, so when a Landmark franchise came available, my partners and I knew that Chilliwack was the place to go. Today’s low interest rates, plus low prices, plus high inventory, equals the perfect buyers market. So come on in and visit our office and I will help you with all your real estate needs.

The Bruins snapped a two-game losing streak and finished the road trip with a record of 3-2-0-0. They also put a damper on Edmonton’s annual Teddy Bear Toss, with netminder Lucas Gore turning in a 42 save effort for his first goose-egg of the year. After facing a clubrecord 57 shots with a club record 54 saves in a 3-1 loss to Red Deer Wednesday Gore was hoping for a more relaxed outing in Edmonton. Instead, he found himself in the middle of another shooting gallery, with the Oil Kings directing 21 pucks on net in the first period. Gore stopped them all, with no save bigger than the one he made on Mark Pysyk in the final minute. Sneaking in from the point, the Buffalo Sabres first round draft pick took a pass from T.J. Foster and had all day to pick his spot. But Gore flashed the leather, snaring Pysyk’s shot with a lightning quick glove hand to keep the game scoreless. The Bruins got the game’s only goal at 11:26 of the second period, with Ryan Howse pulling the trigger. In trademark Howseian fashion, the Calgary Flames prospect took the puck in the right faceoff circle and dangled his way into the slot before wiring a wrist shot past Oil Kings netminder Jon Groenheyde. His 23rd of the year came on the power play. Gore started the third period committing more grand theft larceny, this time on Ryan Dech. Chilliwack’s 12th ranked penalty killing unit came through in the clutch, snuffing out three Edmonton power plays in the back half of the final frame. Groenheyde came to the bench with just over a minute remaining, giving Edmonton the extra attacker. But the Bruins clamped down, keeping the teddy bears in the stands until the final whistle had blown. Chilliwack returns to action Dec. 28 and 29 in Prince George before returning home to host Moose Jaw on New Years Eve (7:30 p.m. start).

OMMUNITY SPORTS REVIEW

Expectations up for Grizzly girls 2010-11 SENIOR GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL

BASKETBALL PREVIEW The story at G.W. Graham secondar y school is escaping the shadow. The shadow is cast by the senior boys team, which made AA provincials last year and will make a strong run this year. By comparison, the evolution of the Grizzly girls has been slower, but head coach Sarah Mouritzen thinks her crew is on the cusp. “We’re starting to look like a real basketball team now,” she said. “We’ve got three or four girls who are really committed to the off-season stuff, and it’s really showing this

year.” The Grizzlies are still young, with two Grade 10 starters. For ward Kaitlyn MacDonald is good enough to lead the team in scoring, and will only get better. Guard Aveen Rezends would be coming off the bench if not for an injury to injured Grade 12 veteran Mikaela McManus. Rezends has been a more-than-capable fill in, and all three (MacDonald, McManus and Rezends) are products of the University of the Fraser Valley’s Junior Cascade program.

REVIEW

Janelle Tucker (Grade 12) is fast and tall and a co-captain of the Grizzlies. Breena Wertz (Grade 11) led the team in scoring last year and returns as the centre. Kayla Unger (Grade 11) is tiny but tenacious, playing fierce defence from the guard position. The girls can’t go 16 deep like the boys, but Mouritzen is happy with her bench and the overall possibilities for this team. “For sure, we want Fraser Valleys and we think we can squeak into a provincial spot,” she said. “Those are realistic goals.”

Year of change for CSS Storm The stor y at Chilliwack secondary school is transition. Long-time head coach Joe Ogmundson has stepped aside this year, leaving the Storm in the hands of his former assistant, Kim Meilleur. Her hoops resume is impressive — a fiveyear university player with stops at Thompson Rivers University (two years), the University of British Columbia (one) and Trinity Western University (two).

For the first time in a long time, CSS didn’t get pre-season respect as a provincial contender, and Meilleur faces a tall task making her first season a success. “The transition has been pretty smooth so far, more than I thought it would be,” she said. “We both like to play an up-tempo style, and I think I have the girls who can do that.” Veteran Paige Norrish (Grade 12) will likely miss the whole season as she contin-

ues rehab from a serious knee injury. But veteran leaders remain, with Shayna Cameron drawing attention from university talent evaluators. Meilleur’s philosophy doesn’t differ greatly from Ogmundson’s, so the players should be able to hit the court running. “Paige is a big loss, but we have a good core group,” Meilleur said. “Our aspiration is to rank among the top 10 provincially.”

Young Falcons face trial by fire The story at Sardis secondary school is youth. Falcons coach Ken Heise has 14 players on his roster, nine of which are in Grade 10. Two of them, Haley Lightle and Mariam Shaukat, have homes in the starting lineup. The rest will be coming off the bench in what amounts to a learningon-the-job season. The Falcons are a senior girls team only by the slimmest of definitions. “It is a very young

team but there is a lot of potential,” Heise said. “I think the development of the younger girls will be quicker getting three years of senior ball instead of that last year of junior.” The rest of the starting five includes Grade 11 dynamo Robyn Kempers and Grade 12 veterans Danica Ferris and Taya Pagliericci. Kempers is perhaps the team’s best allround athlete, competing nationally in speedskating. Heise has more Grade

10 options coming off the bench with Lauren Kempers (Robyn’s sister), Rachael Henderson and Korissa Heibner. Madison Welch (Grade 12) provides a veteran backup at the guard position. Heise expects growing pains, especially in a tough Fraser Valley East circuit. But a strong finish and a Fraser Valley berth would be a solid result. “It will be amazing to see how these girls improve between now and February,” he said.

Sardis secondary school’s Danica Ferris dribbles past a Robert Bateman Wolf during a tournament game last week at G.W. Graham. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

✞ Obituaries KINCAID Thomas Sutherland

Thomas Sutherland Kincaid passed away peacefully on December 16, 2010 at Chilliwack KINCAID General Hospital at the age of 81 years. Tom was born in Hazelton B.C. in 1929 where he lived for the first year before the family moved to Ashcroft B.C. Tom in his early days worked in Vancouver and followed by Agassiz for the Bank of Montreal prior to his 39 years as office manager at the cannery on South Sumas Road in Chilliwack ( Canada Packers , York Farms , Pillsbury Foods , Jim Pattison Group ) now the Legacy Pacific site. Tom enjoyed the Province of BC and spent many a day in the car checking out the beauty beyond the highway. When not at work or exploring, Tom could be found at the rink or near a ball field watching local sports. After retirement and a few trips to Hawaii, Tom spent countless hours with his son, Allen, helping him build Prime Signs to its success. Tom loved his current events and as well enjoyed talking business, sports or politics. Tom will be sadly missed by his wife Eleanor; son, Allen (Chilliwack) and granddaughter Harmony (Bobby) (Edmonton) ; brothers, David (Gillian) Kincaid of (Bogner Regis England), Jack (Lisa) Kincaid of (Chase, BC) and Lennox (Luella) Kincaid of (Kincardine, ON); brother in law, Stanley Sztuk of Chilliwack and sister in law, Henryka Tyuttens of Penticton. There will be no service by request, however, if any so desire, memorial donations in Tom’s memory may be directed to a charity of your choice.
