Are we on the right track with oil?

After the disastrous train explosion and fire in Lac-Mégantic, Que. that obliterated part of the town and killed a still undetermined

Gangster yet to be charged

In the wake of last weekend’s devastating explosion in Lac-Mégantic, some are questioning the safety of transporting oil by rail straight through Chilliwack

number of people, the question of transporting oil by rail versus pipeline has emerged. Pipeline companies have long said their way is much safer than truck or train, a false choice

according to some. “There is no God-given right to ship oil by any means necessary,” Greenpeace Canada campaigner Keith Stewart told the Times. “If the oil companies can’t do it safely

then they shouldn’t be allowed to do it.” How much oil moves by rail through Chilliwack is unclear. But Chevron began transporting small amounts of oil from Alberta and

Saskatchewan by CN Rail to Langley, then trucking it to the Burnaby refinery. Last May, Chevron increased the amount of oil transported by rail, and the 7,500 barrels of oil now moved by train and truck account for about 14 per cent of the refinery’s maximum operating capacity. “Our position is that pipelines represent, we think, the safest, most See OIL, Page 7

Guns and drugs found in raids

Chilliwack gangster is facing possible gun and drug charges after two properties were raided last Tuesday. Members of BC’s anti-gang agency, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC), executed warrants in the 9700 block of Sidney Street and the 8500 block of Aitken Road. “Officers seized a stolen sawed off shotgun, two over-capacity loaded magazines, two empty pistol magazines, and a crossbow, large amount of ammunition, gun-cleaning kit, crystal methamphetamine, scales and money counters,” the CFSEUBC said in a press release. The man has yet to be charged, and police have not yet released his name. He was released following his arrest. CFSEU-BC spokesperson Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the man had a variety of gang ties.

The owners of RVs stored on this old dairy farm on Tyson Road were notified earlier this year they had to remove them from the property by order of the ALC. BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hen Jim Hess and his wife decided to downgrade three years ago from a house in Abbotsford to a townhouse in Chilliwack, he thought little of what he would to with his 27foot recreational vehicle (RV). After checking with three storage places and finding nothing available, he found a farm, among the many around town, full of RVs. Hess drove in and knocked on the door. “I got an inside spot in the barn,” Hess said of the 22-acre property owned by Corine and Tom de Groot on Tyson Road. But because the property in question is an idle dairy farm in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), the RV storage business was illegal, and Hess and everyone else has had to move. Strangers need storage The de Groots never went out of their way to create an RV storage business on their farm. In fact, quite

the opposite: at first they had to fend would-be renters off. “Someone came and said, ‘Since your building is empty, can we store motorhomes and RVs,” Corine told the Times. “We said, ‘No, we don’t want to.’ We like to go places and we don’t want strangers on our yard. But at a certain point we thought, hey, that might be a good idea. “We never advertise, never email about storage. As a matter of fact we send half of the people off our yard.” At first they had one or two RVs on site and decided they should ask permission.

“ They paid us around $30 a month, which is a dollar a day, and for us that is a nice little income,” she said. “And we thought once we have a permit we can fix it up. Maybe have coverage for some more that want them indoors. We could blacktop that area where they drive.” But the de Groots learned the hard way that sometimes asking permission is a good way to get in trouble. The city came questioning, and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) told the de Groots to remove the RVs from the agricultural property or face legal action.

Then they had to begin to contact the RV owners. “We got panic calls from these owners,” she said. “Some of them, even somebody from the government, an MLA, from police, from corrections, they have beautiful homes but they cannot store these.” Violates ALC rules and city bylaws Taking a drive around rural roads within the city limits, one will see farm after farm littered with storage trailers, boats, campers and RVs. The storage of these items on farm property violates ALC rules and city bylaws for land zoned agricultural. “In general, the use of the land to store ‘non-farm related equipment’ is a non-farm use, especially when the items do not belong to the land owner,” Thomas Loo of the ALC explained via email. “We’re basically talking about a storage business. In most municipalities, the ALR is zoned agricultural and would not allow such a use. So in essence there See STORAGE, Page 6

rganizers are preparing to lug two long weekends’ worth of garbage out of the Chilliwack River Valley this month during the second Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup of the year. Irresponsible fishers, target shooters, campers and partiers wreaked their usual havoc over the Victoria Day and Canada Day long weekends, leaving packaging, tenting materials, spent shells and other debris strewn in their wake. “It’s always a chronic problem

Massive cleanup along river up there,” Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup Society chair Chris Gadsden told theTimes. Gadsden took photos of abandoned messes dotted around the popular recreation area last week and circulated them via email. He included Premier Christy Clark and other provincial officials on his list in an ongoing effort to convince the government to hire more conservation officers. “We definitely need more enforce-

ment,” he said. “We need more conservation officers when it gets right down to it. They’re just spread too thin in the last few years.” Gadsden hasn’t heard back from the premier, but his photos seemed to have spurred someone into action. When he returned a couple days later, the worst of the sites had been cleaned up. The photos of cold-blooded littering periodically circulated by

organizers and the 38 cleanups the Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup Society has organized since 2008 have made a difference, Gadsden said. The last cleanup attracted a record 250 volunteers who hauled more than four tonnes of garbage from the around the river. All told, the society has pulled 80 tonnes of trash from the area since 2008. But, Gadsden said cleaning up

behind irresponsible users is still only a Band-Aid approach, which some say might even makes things easier for litterers. “They know that someone’s going to come and clean up behind them; some people say that,” Gadsen said. The second 2013 Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup takes place Saturday, July 20. Participants meet at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Coffee, doughnuts and muffins are provided by Tim Hortons. Garbage bags, latex gloves and pick-up tools will be supplied. For more info, visit www.cleanrivers.ca.

Work started on gardens

community garden being built at the site of the old Paramount Theatre will be ready for planting by Monday. Construction of 20 raised beds at the downtown Chilliwack site began Tuesday, and Ruth and Naomi’s Mission, which will manage the gardens, is now accepting applications from would-be gardeners. The idea of putting community gardens on the vacant lot was first floated by Coun. Ken Huttema almost a year ago before the old theatre had even been demolished. ◗ For more information, call 604-795-2322 or visit www.ruthandnaomis.ca.

“The person and people he’s associated to have many gang affiliations here in the Lower Mainland,” he said. He said one of those associates has close ties to the Independent Soldiers. The investigation that led to the seizure began in April. It concluded with the man’s arrest. “This investigation is part of CFSEU-BC’s ongoing targeted enforcement of gang members and their associates who use violence to further their criminal activities,” Houghton said in the release.

Child rapist gets 12 yrs. Judge hands lengthy sentence to man deemed a high risk to reoffend BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for ongoing violent sexual assaults of his toddler stepdaughter. In handing down the sentence in court Wednesday, Judge Roger Cutler said the man—who cannot be named because of a publication ban—had a “reprehensible attitude towards the offences” and is a high risk to reoffend. “This sentence will properly reflect the moral blameworthiness of the offender and society’s condemnation of such depraved and despicable conduct targeting the most vulnerable and innocent among us,” Cutler said. The defendant also took videos of the abuse, portions of which were shown to a closed court at the hearing.

Crown counsel Andrea Ormiston asked He pleaded guilty and was convicted of sexual assault causing bodily harm and for 10 to 12 years in prison; she sought seven to eight years for the sexual assault possession of child pornography.

We keep getting warmer BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

So far 2013 is proving to be a warm one. For the sixth consecutive month, temperatures were above normal, according to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. June saw an above-average maximum temperature of 22.35 C and several records were broken. The June 30 high of 35 C, 12.1 C above normal, beat the 89-year-old previous record of 33.9 C from 1924. OIL, from page 1 efficient method (of transportation). However, in response to business needs, we’ve had to introduce these others,” Chevron Burnaby refinery spokesman Ray Lord told the Vancouver Sun Monday. But Lord also said rail is safe and that there have been no incidents since they started using trains more than a year ago. Historically, it doesn’t appear using rail to transport oil to the former Ioca refinery in Port Moody was a safety issue either. Rail was used to transport oil to the refinery for decades without any derailments or spills until the Trans Mountain pipeline was built in the 1950s, said Al Sholund, a Port Moody historian and former employee at the Ioca refinery. Before the tragedy in Quebec, Stewart was already studying how much oil was being transported by rail in Canada. The data is hard to come by, he says, but he estimates about 10 carloads a day roll through Chilliwack to Abbotsford before going south to California. In 2012, two per cent of Canada’s oil was shipped by rail, Stewart said, citing National Energy Board figures. That amount is triple what was shipped by rail in 2011. “It’s expected to double or triple again this year,” Stewart said. And an exchange of correspondence between environmental groups and CN show that more shipments of oil by rail to the coast is proposed. In a Jan. 29 letter to CN president and CEO Claude Mongeau, the environmentalists asked “that you undertake consultation with impacted First Nations and community

The average temperature June 30 of 26.2 was another record for the day and month, Pannett said. The high minimum temperature of 16.6 C on June 29 beat the record low for that day of 16.1 C set back in 1949. Precipitation for 2013 is right at the 30-year average, but nearly half of June’s rain fell on one record-breaking day—June 19—in the form of 24.4 millimetres (mm), beating the 1900 record of 19.1 mm. Weather so far into July has been above average and the forecast is for more hot days after the weekend.

Expected to double/triple members should CN decide to move forward with its proposal to ship tar sands oil through B.C.” Mongeau responded a month later, taking issue with criticism of CN’s safety record. “Railways can complement existing pipeline infrastructure and we are just as safe and as environmentally sustainable as they are in moving energy to market,” Mongeau wrote. He added that if oil sands development is an issue for the environmental groups, then CN is not the right party to call on. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said that it was her understanding the lessons learned from Quebec will inform emergency protocols for the transportation of dangerous goods. “The City of Chilliwack has an emergency co-ordinator, along with plans and protocols in place to deal with a wide variety of incidents that could possibly happen in our city,” she said via email. “We exercise our emergency plan twice a year and keep the safety of our residents as a top priority. “We appreciate that CN Rail is highly focused on safety with a good track record, and know that they diligently work to minimize accidents and maintain safe operating procedures.” Gaetz added that at the last emergency executive committee meeting there was talk of exercising the emergency plan four times a year.

◗ Opinion

Tears saved for victims I was about to buy two buttons from a Harrison Festival of the Arts volunteer when I heard the crash. I looked up to see a white Toyota FJ Cruiser plowing into people, launching at least one in the air as the SUV grinded to a halt on the sidewalk facing in our direction. My hands were on a jogging stroller that my three-year-old daughter was in. My wife was standing next to me holding our baby boy in a carrier. When the vehicle stopped I was momentarily shocked, torn by one instinct to stay with my family and another instinct to run to help. Because of the dozens of tourists, beachgoers and festival attendees who rushed to the injured, this latter instinct was luckily unecessary. The first thing I heard after a moment of creepy silence that followed the accident were the screams of the 37-year-old mother whose pelvis was shattered, apparently. There was also the crying of the 13-year-old son, who was not only hurt but likely traumatized to see his mother across the street screaming in pain. His 51-year-old father was on the ground in a different direction making no sounds, silent in his pain. I would later rue that my journalistic instinct came in third. I did not get a photo when the door to the SUV opened and out came a short, shirtless, tattooed, young man with a smirk on his face.

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SimplyyA Musing RCMP say he is 27 and from New Westminster. He has not yet formally been charged so I do not have his name. When I know it, you will too. The smirk on his face was something that offended many who saw him. One person told me he was laughing. I didn’t see that. And maybe the smile was a nervous one. Maybe it was drugs. A calm gentleman urged the man back into his vehicle, likely in some measure for the driver’s own good given the lack of police/security presence and what the dozens of people in attendance had just witnessed. There isn’t much vigilante justice in Canada (particularly among world-music festival attendees) but what this guy did could have sparked something. Many witnesses I heard from said the driver looked/seemed drunk. The RCMP says that wasn’t the case. They allege say he was high on some drug (which drug they can’t say yet) and he will be charged with impaired driving. What looked to me on Sunday to be an SUV slamming into dozens of people resulted in bad, but non-

life-threatening, injuries to “only” three members of an Abbotsford family. Lucky. After my story about the crash, I received an email from “Christine” (I do know her last name but I won’t print it) who said she knows the young driver and her daughter was at the scene. “That young man has a very gentle heart—the tattoos mask his gentleness and soft demeanour,” she wrote. She was upset that I reported he smirked, wondering if my witness was reliable, not knowing this was one of the rare instances where the reporter saw it first-hand. Christine went on to say that news reporters, presumably those who cover crime of any kind, are engaged in “one of the most evil and lowest jobs in the world.” She was upset that I didn’t tell “both sides of the story.” “It’s too bad the world isn’t ready to see that everyone’s life yesterday has been changed forever, not just the victims.” Are you feeling sympathetic for the life-altering situation of the driver of an SUV who crashed into a crowd of pedestrians? I’m not. Anyone who drives with an absolute disregard for human life doesn’t deserve that. Save your tears and your sympathies for the Abbotsford family shattered by this thug’s stupidity.

he young boy playing in the kiddie pool in his backyard. The teenager learning to water ski for the first time. The young woman leaping from the top of a cliff into the ocean. We all need to be cautious while enjoying the water this summer. The B.C. Coroners Service is reminding everyone to be careful near the water after four separate drowning deaths occurred in B.C between July 1 and 5. Drowning doesn’t discriminate—from toddlers to seniors, anyone can be overcome in the water if they’re inexperienced or in unfamiliar waters. As parents, we’re told that our children can drown in less than six centimetres of water. The B.C. Coroners Service recommends keeping all pre-school-aged children within an arm’s length of a responsible adult when they’re in or near water. Parents of young children are often vigilant, but as kids gain independence, their families tend to give them more leeway. Independence is a good thing, and parents shouldn’t be tethered to their children at all times for fear of what terrible things might happen. Part of allowing children to be more independent includes teaching them how to be safe on their own. Learning important safety techniques— such as wearing properly fitting personal flotation devices on boats, being aware of water conditions, avoiding alcohol when you plan to swim and never diving into unfamiliar water—can save lives. And being safe and aware of possible dangers doesn’t have to impede summertime fun—in fact, it will likely prolong it by preventing tragedies. For more on how to be safe in and on the water, and for courses on water safety, go to www.lifesaving.bc.ca/watersmart and www.redcross.ca/whatwe-do/swimming-and-water-safety.

are qualified teachers being replaced by mediocracy. These children are our future. Address the problem early and save yourself a lot of frustration. Parents with children who have learning disabilities often keep things to themselves. They feel intimidated, are in denial, or are ashamed. They need to be pro-active and fight for what their child needs. There can be many tears of joy instead of frustration. Things may always take a little longer—but it’s worth the fight.

You cannot help these children to blend in with their peers until you have helped them with their learning disability. They are different and they require a different method of learning., And there is no shame in that. “Putting extra support,” isn’t what they need, they need a different learning method—phonics. “Some skills and knowledge”—why

like every other nobody. You have no authority to meddle in affairs of government or offer political “help” by implying that having been elected representatives back when currently entitles you to such authority. You are misrepresenting yourselves to the public, and if this pathetic democracy had any guts, any sense of law and order as opposed to lawlessness and disorder, your public claim to unwarranted political authority would have netted you nothing short of a summons to appear in court for misrepresentation. Your luck holds, people: you probably won’t get arrested for once more taking advantage of a skewed political system for your personal benefit, whether that be simple notoriety… or something a bit more serious. C’mon: you’ve had you kick at the cat. Now you’re out of the game. Scream from the sidelines like the rest of the disenchanted voting public if you will, but don’t go on the field. You’re no longer on the team as either players or management. And I doubt that too many would want you back in, in any case. Get it? Having said that, I’m not saying you can’t get together for a coffee or a scotch on the rocks. Just do it as private citizens, that’s all. If you want to do more, you could try starting a concerned citizens group. That, at least, is legal. Jac L. Auffray Chilliwack

Editor: Re: Ex-mayors sound flood alarm, Chilliwack Times, July 4. I’m confused. I thought this was a democracy, not an oligarchy; that anyone claiming any sort of political “power” has to be elected to make that claim. These “ex-mayors” are just that: has beens. If they want to make political statements claiming some political authority superior to that of Joe Average by virtue of having been elected politicos in the past, that, under our laws, is illegal. An ex-Mountie can’t put on a uniform, strap on a side arm and go around claiming special status as a cop. If you don’t have the badge, you’re no longer in.

trict is the one that should be feeling the shame. The shame is not in pulling the child out of his regular class and helping him in a special program, but in keeping him isolated in a regular class where his peers look down on him and laugh or snicker at his inability to read. Restoring that self-esteem comes from dealing with the core issue in a class where others are also having problems and the child realizes he is not alone but that there are others like him.

Editor: It is outrageous the amount of noise the downtown residents of Chilliwack are expected to put up with. I see no effective policing of vehicle noise or driving behaviour, especially at the corner of Wellington and Corbould. Chilliwack is definitely one of the noisiest little cities I know. Obviously noise is necessary, but squealing tires (demonstrating the intent to speed), non- (or minimally) mufflered motorbikes and vehicles, booming car stereo systems catering to those who feel the need to attract attention through noise makes this city very uncomfortable and disrespectfully noisy. This problem is much more evident in the summer with more outdoor activity. I’ve written letters to the City of Chilliwack, the RCMP (and the newspapers) about this before and all I get are placating statements and excuses and a passing of the buck but not action. Maybe Chilliwack needs its own community policing system and the enforcement of some common sense bylaws to return some sanity to the community. Who do you suggest takes responsibility for attending to this violation of the rights of citizens? The City of Chilliwack has not, nor has the RCMP Lynn Douglas Chilliwack

Faith Today BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church

or many of us, summer is a time to take our much anticipated holidays and find the time to try to re-connect with the family ties that can get lost in the frenetic pace that our lives often take. This summer, I have been asked to prepare a “little something” as we head off to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday with our immediate and extended family. The coming occasion has got me thinking of the role that our families should play in our lives. First of all, I believe that family is meant to be a place where you can be more than your mistakes. My kids hate watching the home videos I made when they were younger. I think it embarrasses them that they were so “immature” at a

Thoughts on family younger age—go figure. Yet each of us has had things in our past that we would like to forget. From skinning a skunk on my sister’s new tent, to being driven home drunk by the cops on my graduation. I have had less than stellar moments. Not that we need to celebrate our screw ups, but like the Brad Paisley song says, we would all like to write a letter and send it back in time to ourselves at 17. Family should provide that for us. Secondly, family is meant to be a place where we can be more than our disagreements. Our neighbours have two dogs that spend

more time tussling with each other than they do anything else—yet, when a stray dog comes around, they stand guard against all intruders. At times, they remind me of my kids. Sometimes the arguments become so vexing to me I say, “Enough! Take it elsewhere!” At times I wonder if their friendship will survive their fights—yet I see evidence that their shared experiences and bond does bring them through their differences. One of the sad things I have experienced in many friendships (yes, even church friendships) is that most people are unwilling to

work through what are often just common disagreements. I think family does provide us a picture that there is a greater bond than our differences. Finally, I think that family is meant to be a place where you can truly be “yourself.” Each of our children have amazing gifts, abilities and callings, yet they often experience the “beat down” that the world and culture around them so eagerly provides. Over time, it is not surprising that they almost forget who they are. By our front door we have painted on our wall the following statement: “Home – Where

family reminds you of who you are.” Even as they grow older and are in process of leaving our house, it is “home” where they can be reminded of who they truly are. Now I am not naïve enough to believe that each of our families have always represented these things in our lives. I guess in the gap we can all start with the “home” that God offers when he tells us “see how great the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called the children of God.” Hopefully on this basis, we can all begin to see our own families become the place of nuture, blessing and belonging that God meant them to be.

Homes for Huskers

o games have been played. No points have been scored. No stats have been registered. But if you want one good reason to feel excited about this year’s Valley Huskers, all you have to do is talk to Tammy Parray about the junior football club’s billeting program. Last year, the Huskers had two families billeting players. This year, 20 players will stay with local families. That growth speaks partly to the offseason work done by head coach Tyson St. James, and partly to the determined efforts of Parray and Julie Hayden, who found themselves tasked with building a billet program from the ground up. Junior football players range in age from 17 to 21. At the young end, you have new recruits who are fresh out of high school and might be leaving home for the first time. Billets aren’t required: players have to pay for their own accommodations either way and are allowed find their own place to stay. But it’s a heck of a lot easier to attract

Cattle penners Stampede champs

Chilliwack team of cattle penners has returned to British Columbia as Calgary Stampede champions. Sandy Price, her 15-year-old daughter Larissa, and Laura Bird knocked off dozens of other penners to claim top prize in the Stampede’s penning competition, which was held last Wednesday in Okotoks, Alta. It’s the second consecutive year Sandy, the City of Chilliwack’s manager of human resources, has claimed top prize in the cattle penning competition. This is the third time she has competed at the Stampede—she finished in the top 10 in her first year. Sandy said this victory is special because it came with her daughter.

Larissa had ridden in two previous Stampedes, finishing in the top 20 one year and in the top 50 the other. The Prices ride at Fast Time Farms in Langley and Ron Platt’s spread in Yarrow with a pair of team penning groups. Sandy said that team support, and the ability to practice on cattle, is key to her success. “I just want to thank the team penners in the Lower Mainland,” she said.

Thanks Bruce, I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optical store. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to ﬁght for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

Chilliwack’s Scott Wallace lifts an atlas stone during last month’s Washington’s Strongest Apple strongman event.

Giant among men

Local corrections officer takes aim at North American Strongman title BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

fter claiming his first-ever strongman win last month in Washington, Chilliwack’s Scott Wallace is prepping for the provincial championships and looking ahead to an even larger event this fall. Wallace claimed top prize in the heavyweight division at Washington’s Strongest Apple in late June. It was a major accomplishment for the local corrections officer, who just picked up the sport last year on a half-dare from his wife Carrie. Strongman features events that test competitors’ strength in sometimes-awkward ways, such as by with lifting 300-pound stones, carrying kegs, or deadlifting axles. It’s not an endeavour for the casual sportsman, so, after a year of training and improving results, Wallace said the win in Washington seemed to justify the hundreds of hours of training he has invested. “It was kind of like, ‘Wow, it was all worth it,’” Wallace told the Times. “For it all to come together on Saturday, it was very, very rewarding.” A former football player, Wallace threw around the idea of taking up the sport last year after a visit to the Vancouver Men’s Show. His wife, on the other side of that conversation, threw the concept right back in his face. “She kind of challenged me on it and said, ‘You always say you’re going to do something, but you never do,’” Wallace remembered.

This time he did follow through; Wallace began training in May, and found himself in his first event last June. “It was pretty nerve-wracking,” he said. “You know going in that you’re strong. But you don’t know how strong.” Fortunately for him, Wallace acquitted himself well, placing fifth. Training with Langley’s Brian Way, Wallace continued to improve and followed his debut with a third-place finish at the provincial championships. (Way was one of the two stronger men.) He now finds himself hooked on the sport. “I love the fact that you’re doing something that only a few people can do,” he said. That there’s a little risk intrinsic on the sport only adds to its attraction. “Anybody can powerlift,” he said. “It takes something special to be a strongman.” It also likely takes a special wife to be married to such a man. Wallace trains five days a week, either with Way or with his power-lifting coach Barry Nelson. And grocery bills to replace all those burned calories don’t come cheap. After challenging her husband to take up the sport, Carrie has become Scott’s loudest fan. “She’s very supportive of it,” he said. The provincial strongman championships take place later this month in Kamloops. Wallace has another event planned for August, but his thoughts are already on the North American Strongman National Championships, for which he qualified by winning the Washington event. “I’m very excited and very nervous,” Wallace said. “I’ve only been at it a year and I know what I’m up against.” To help get him to the event, Wallace is raising money and looking for more sponsors. (Currently, his sole sponsor is Elite Nutrition, which pays for his supplements.) For more information, visit his Facebook page: “Scott Wallace - Strongman.”

rom the company that brought Chilliwack The Sound of Music in July 2012, Secondary Characters presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, by the renowned Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice, July 24 to Aug. 4. Joseph and his coat of many colours comes to vibrant life in this musical parable. When Joseph is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, he endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. BUY TICKETS WITH layar Thrown in jail, Joseph is later released by the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis) when he hears news of Joseph’s gift to interpret dreams. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless. ◗ Tickets are sold at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 604-391-SHOW (7469) or online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca. Tickets range from $12 to $20. And there will be a special Joseph Sing-Along on July 31, where all adults pay the student price.

One way of doing that is to look at the stories and scenes of Star Wars through the films’ main antagonist: Darth Vader. “This is art with a capital A and really looks at the darker elements of the series.” ◗ For details on the exhibition visit thereach.ca/exhibitions/currentexhibitions.

OBITUARIES a

Josephine Grace Voth-Doan (nee Goertzen)

MacIntosh, John Joseph a

It is with heartfelt sadness that we, his family, announce the passing of John Joseph MacIntosh of Vancouver, B.C. on July 7, 2013, at his home surrounded by his family, Lori, Lisa, and faithful canine buddy, Butler. He was 91. A proud Cape Bretoner, John was born on January 13, 1922 in Florence, Nova Scotia. A highly decorated Veteran, he joined the army in 1930, and barely old enough to shave he served as an airborne engineer with the Cape Breton Highlanders during World War II and the Royal Canadian Regiment during the Korean War. In 1964 John married the love of his life Marjorie Cooke and became father to Marjorie’s children Danny, Brian and Marilyn Steeves. And in 1966 became the proud father of Lori MacIntosh. John and Marjorie made their home in Oromocto, and later in Burton, New Brunswick. Upon retiring from the army John worked as a civilian carpenter in Camp Gagetown where he was known not only for his fine carpentry skills, but his generosity to friends, his quick wit and his penchant for practical jokes. If you asked John he would say his happiest days were spent working alongside his wife Marjorie in their small ceramics shop from 1980-1992 where he sang the days away, happily pouring greenware and chatting with neighbours and customers. He is a long-standing member of the Knights of Columbus, an active member of the Canadian Legion and the Chilliwack Branch of the Korean Veterans, Association. An all-star crib player and captivating storyteller John is known and beloved by many for his ever present smile, and his always cheery disposition, and his ability to make friends with just about anyone. Although he has lived outside of Cape Breton for many years he never lost his charming “twang” nor his affinity for his Cape Breton home. John is survived by his sister Annie Mae MacKinnon. Daughters Lori (Lisa) of Vancouver; Marilyn (John) of Mission; son Brian (Katherine) of Quesnel. John is grandfather (Bubba) to 8 Grandchildren Andrea, Brandon, Michael, Jonathan, Mandy, Bobby, Terry, and Katherine; and Great-grandfather to many both biological and chosen. John was predeceased by his wife, Marjorie and son Danny, his six brothers James, Lauchie, Allan, Hughie, William and Rod; nephew Joseph and niece Sr. Lorraine. A Funeral Service was held at Our Lady Of Sorrows Catholic Church on Wednesday, July 10 at 7:30pm. The family asks that in lieu of flowers memorial donations be m a d e i n J o h n ’s n a m e t o t h e J o h n J . M a c I n t o s h Memorial Fund: https://s.vancouverfoundation.ca/Macintosh

March 25th, 1939 - June 23rd, 2013

It is with great sadness that the family of Jo Voth-Doan announce the passing of our irrepressible and much beloved ‘Dragon Lady’. Born in Hepburn and raised in Laird Saskatchewan, Jo married Reuben Voth in 1955 and had 6 children. The family moved to Prince George in 1970 and left for Edmonton in 1977, moving back to BC (Ft St James) in 1979. Jo moved to Edmonton in 1992 where she obtained her Social Work Diploma and was remarried in 1999 to United Church Reverend Samuel “Curly” Doan. They moved to Chilliwack but lived in Dease Lake for a few years before returning to Chilliwack to enjoy their retirement. Jo is predeceased by her father and mother, David and Elvina Goertzen, her sister Doreen Friesen, her son Terry, and her late husband, Curly Voth-Doan. She is survived by her first husband, Reuben Voth and her children, Monty Voth, Julie (Hubert) Giese, Lori (Don) Ruggles, Rick Voth, and Corey Voth and by her beloved grandchildren, Eric, Kristin, Carmen, Evan, Tamara, Fraser, David, Shauna, Shem and Willow and by great grandchildren, Sierra, Chase, Aaralyn and Emily. She leaves behind a close companion in her life, Monty Marsden, whom she cared for very deeply, and her ‘adopted’ family Susan and Christopher Haworth. a

Jo was a life-long social justice advocate who was very involved in her church, the Canadian Airborne Association, the NDP, and several charities. She was a co-founder of the BC Patient’s Rights Association and a strong advocate for Grandparent’s Rights. She was employed as a Social Worker for many years, working for the BC Government and several different First Nations groups. She was a creative and articulate writer and wrote many articles for local newspapers, and for the CBC. A woman of many talents, Jo had a remarkable passion for life and will be terribly missed. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, July 20th at 11:00am at the United Church, 45835 Spading Avenue, Chilliwack BC. Following the service a luncheon will be served at the “Loft” in the Sports Landing Centre at 45530 Spadina Ave, in Chilliwack. Donations to the “Canadian Last Post Fund” in lieu of flowers would be appreciated. Donations can be sent to #401 - 505 Rene-Levesque Blvd. West, Montreal, QC , H2Z 1Y7
