The Falls golf course re-opens
ON THE
B EACH
AT HARRISON
‘Drastic’ changes to clubhouse Robert Freeman The Progress The Falls Golf Club got back into the swing with a “soft” opening of the hillside golf course Saturday. “We have built an incredible team to bring life back to the course and provide memorable golfing experiences,” Jamie Baxter, general manager at the Golden Eagle Golf Club in Pitt Meadows, said in a Thursday news release. Baxter, who spoke to The Progress on behalf of the Aquilini Investment Group, which now owns both the Falls and Golden Eagle, said golfers would find the same 18-hole championship course “in excellent shape” with the most “drastic” changes seen in the clubhouse fixtures and updated kitchen. The golf course had fallen into disrepair after former owner Rick Wellsby at Blackburn Developments started bankruptcy proceedings in early 2011 when a $75-million debt threatened to swallow the course and the residential resort built around it. There had been talk that the Aquilini Investment Group, which now holds controlling interest in the golf course, wanted to “reconfigure” some of the holes for residential development to make the course economically viable. Some homeowners feared reconfiguration could lead to some homes without a view of the golf course. But city officials made it a “principle” of a new comprehensive development plan for the eastern hillsides to protect homeowners who had purchased homes whose value relied, in part, on golf course views. Baxter said golfers registered for the Saturday “tee time” at The Falls would find “the same layout” as the original 18-hole course. A more formal re-opening of the golf course will be held “down the road,” he said. Aquilini officials could not be reached for comment on the re-opening and its residential development plans, but last month the company stated in a letter to city council its “full and Continued: FALLS/ p6

Cleanup overdue at Foley Lake Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Once pristine areas around Foley Lake up Chilliwack Lake Road were littered with shotgun shells, diapers, mattresses and camping equipment. Three truckloads of trash were removed from that hardhit area, as part of the 36th Annual Chilliwack-Vedder River Cleanup event on Saturday. They made the trip and tackled the area up the valley because it was such a mess this spring, said organizers. A decent turnout of 104 peo-
ple from Chilliwack and other parts of the Lower Mainland, showed up Saturday morning to don work gloves, and pick up garbage up and down the world-class river system. The number of volunteers was up by 25 from the last time, said organizers with the cleanup society. “It’s one of the best things I’ve done in a long time,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz, who was helping out at the cleanup. “It’s so rewarding.” Chilliwack MLA Gwen O’Mahony was spotted pitching in as well. Mayor Gaetz was happy to
hand out garbage bags to a family camping nearby, and found they were eager to pitch in once asked. “Part of the problem is educating visitors from the city who don’t realize that what they bring in, they should take back with them when they leave.” The most common item was carelessly dumped empty beer cans — everywhere you looked. “They just toss them out of the cars,” she said. Although the collected garbage totals were less than past events, there was a solid turn-
out by dedicated river stewards. One of the large items was a discarded pool table, along with an old television and lots of tires. Since the first cleanup about 10 years ago, about 80,000 tonnes have been taken off the riparian zones of the VedderChilliwack system. Plans are under way for the group’s BC Rivers’ Day celebration on Sept. 30 with registration at the Chilliwack Fish and Game club house. More at www.cleanrivers.ca.

Arson near Agassiz valued at almost one million dollars Jessica Peters Black Press Five employees at Tamihi Logging have had to be laid off after a massive arson destroyed several pieces of heavy duty equipment. RCMP say they are thoroughly investigating the incident, which happened about 11.5 km up the Mount Woodside Forest Service Road earlier this month. The arson was reported by the company when they found their equipment destroyed on the morning of July 3. The incident could have happened anytime between then, and June 28 at 3 p.m. Tamihi owner Brian Dorman said it’s going to take some time to recoup from the damage, which he estimates to be about $900,000. Some of the equipment is irreplaceable, Dorman said, because it’s not even
made anymore. Because of the machinery’s size, it will have to be deconstructed to be removed from the site. A 1997 Volvo A25-C rock truck (dump truck), a 2004 John Deere 2554 Excavator, and a Finning M32 Rock Dill were destroyed by fire. “New replacement value is a $1.5 million,” Dorman said. This isn’t the first time the company has been hit by vandals. Dorman said it’s a “chronic problem” and they’re determined to find out who is behind it. They previously offered a $5,000 reward for other damages, but have now increased that reward to $20,000. “They’re going to put us out of business otherwise,” Dorman said. “This is really serious. I’ve had to lay off five guys for the short term. Those are five people that aren’t able to feed their families.”
RCMP confirm they are treating the case very seriously. “At this point, this investigation is being investigated as an arson,” said Corporal Tammy Hollingsworth. “Tamihi Logging Company has suffered a significant loss and would like the person or persons responsible to come forward and be held accountable.” Anyone with information regarding this intentional destruction of equipment is asked to call the Agassiz RCMP at 604-796-2211 or leave an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). A 2004 John Deere 2554 Excavator is just one of the pieces of heavy equipment destroyed by fire earlier this summer. Police are investigating and Tamihi Logging Company is offering a reward.

Air quality values improve Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Alanna Clempson and 10-year-old daughter Maddy wash beets during the first drop-off for Plant a Row/ Grow a Row at the Sunshine Community Garden behind the Mathieson Centre on Wells Road Saturday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
A good start to veggie drop-offs Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack gardening enthusiasts proudly handed in their shiny, new potatoes, blood-red beets, and wellformed turnips. It was all destined for the local soup kitchen, as 53 pounds (24 kilograms), of locally grown produce was donated to the Chilliwack Salvation Army on Saturday. “For this early in the season, it was a good start,” said PARGAR coordinator Alanna Clempson. The totals were weighed, washed, and recorded by volunteers, and it was mostly
cool weather crops ready first like a variety of greens, root veggies, as well as some early, dark-green broccoli. It was the first event of the summer for Food Matters Chilliwack’s Plant A Row/ Grow A Row program. A handful of growers came by Saturday to chat with other gardeners, swap or donate extra produce, or pick up some squash, tomato, or cucumber plants for an empty corner in the garden. “Way to go, you guys,” Clempson told participants on the PARGAR Facebook page. “Looking forward to seeing more of you at the next swap.”
The next drop-off and harvest swap for anyone with extra produce, is on July 28, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Sunshine Community Garden, behind the Mathieson Centre at 45195 Wells Road. Then again on Aug. 11 and Aug. 25. There are still donated seed potatoes available for growers near the shaded side of the woodshed onsite at the community garden for anyone who wants to plant another round of spuds, say organizers.

The Fraser Valley air shed cleared up this week with cooler temperatures. Drifting smoke from Siberian wildfires wasn’t even much of a factor last week, according to air quality watchers with the Fraser Valley Regional District, but that ended last week. Air quality values have been in the “low” side the past few days and no AQ advisories have gone out despite warm temperatures. There were however elevated ozone levels in Chilliwack last week, and smoke from those Russian fires were like-
ly more of an influence then. Readings for Chilliwack have been in the “low” to “moderate” categories, usually at an air quality health index (AQHI) of 2 or 3 during the day, but it reached as high as 5 on July 8, which is still considered moderate. Air is monitored by FVRD officials at four stations in the Eastern Fraser Valley, including Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Hope. Two more are coming online in Mission and District of Kent. The air quality health index (AQHI) for the region is online at www.bcairquality. ca/readings/easternfraser-valley.xml.
Agassiz man brutally beaten A 27-year-old Agassiz man was assaulted outside the former Paramount Theatre in downtown Chilliwack early Saturday morning. Police said the man suffered “significant head injuries” in the 2 a.m. attack and was unable to provide police investigators with many details. “The motivation behind the incident is unclear at this time, and we would like to speak to anyone who may have any information,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said in a news release. Police hope the victim will be able to provide more details as he recovers, but Wolbeck said it’s “difficult to determine” at this stage how badly his memory may be affected by the head injuries. Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crimes Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

both companies and with individual stakeholders about adjusting development proposals to fit the amended development plan. The plan was revised by city staff after the area’s total buildout population potential was chopped to 6,000 from the original 17,000 people. The issue now is whether the competing interests — golf course operator, existing homeowners and potential new housing developers — can live within the limits set out by the city’s development plan.

INSTANT RESULTS! Having your roof cleaned, actually makes sense! $ Starting from
599
And here are 10 reasons why...
1. The dirt isn’t just dirt-it’s alive. 2. Black Stains (Algae are micro organisms) are actually harmful molds and fungi. 3. Shingle life decrease’s by up to 50% of the life cycle of the shingle because of Algae. 4. Algae feeds off the limestone fillers in the shingle causing premature breakdown. 5. Dark algae stains on a roof act as a sponge to absorb the sun’s heat, which may cause a rise in temperature inside the attic causing shingles to curl and crack. 6. Cleaning your roof is a fraction of the replacement cost. 7. Curb appeal. When selling your home you may lose a sale because of an unsightly roof with buyers thinking it needs replacement. 8. Excessive mold growth can lead to increased allergies. 9. Leaving your windows open for fresh air can bring in mold and fungi blowing off the roof. 10. Take care of your biggest investment! Make your home look great with a clean roof.

Over the next few weeks, Harrison Hot Springs council has a tough decision in front of them. They’ll vote whether to allow a change to the Official Community Plan that could help pave the way for the Kingma brothers to build a 26-unit townhouse complex in the green space along Hot Springs Road. Tough call, and the intense discussion across the council table last week showed that at least they’re putting some heavy thought into the pros and cons of such a development. On one hand, there is green space to protect. On the other hand, development is a necessary side of municipal business. Without it, tax rates will rise to feed the coffers. And at the end of the day, it always comes down to dollars. So why close the doors to new housing choices? Is it to keep families out and maintain a retirement community? Let’s face it. People want to live there. The view is divine, the neighbourhoods impeccable, and the atmosphere — somewhat sophisticated. Hundreds of thousands of people visit the tiny community every year, and whether they’re walking the streets, pedaling around or driving their cars, they are surely seeing the For Sale signs on virtually every street. With views like that, it’s hard not to daydream about a carefree lifestyle. And for years, that daydream included phrases like “when we retire...” But times are changing. Services are expanding, the world has gone wireless, and living outside of a city centre is becoming less challenging. And yes, that means more and more people are going to be eyeing up small towns like Harrison — not just for retirement living, but for their young and growing families, as outposts for their home-based businesses, or even as secondary homes. To have an option that’s larger than a bread box and smaller than a ‘B.C. Box’ is going to be desirable to many of those buyers. Some will have children. Some won’t. Some will be well off, others will be working toward that goal. Some will be retired. Some will commute. Some may even bring their businesses. Just like the current mix of residents today. ~ Black Press

Continental decline of sockeye stocks continues According to recent research, Fraser River sockeye salmon have been producing fewer adults returning to their spawning streams since the early 1990s. In dramatic form, we’ve seen plummeting numbers of returning sockeye with the exception of that spectacular run two years ago when some 30 million fish returned. But the stubborn downward trend in numbers has shown up in a very wide geographic range from Washington State, through British Columbia to as far north as southeastern Alaska into the Yakutat Peninsula. The trend, though, doesn’t seem to have touched the sockeye populations in western and central Alaska. According to studies conducted by Dr. Randall Peterman, Canada Research Chair in Fisheries with Simon Fraser University, the causes for a productivity drop are complex.

The Chilliwack

“It is possible that the downward trends in productivity across the sockeye stocks south of central Alaska result from a variety of causes, such as freshwater habitat degradation or contaminants that have each independently affected many small regions,” said Peterman. “However, the large spatial extent of Margaret similar time trends EVANS in productivity for over 25 stocks has occurred in both relatively pristine and heavily disturbed habitats. This suggests that shared mechanisms are a more likely explanation, for example, high mortality owing to predators, pathogens, or poor food supply.” The results of his study which was conducted with post-doctor-
al fellow Brigitte Dorner were based on analyzing the productivity of 64 sockeye salmon populations. Their paper, ‘A widespread decrease in productivity of sockeye salmon populations in western North America’ was published this month in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. As much as the Fraser River runs had shown dramatic declines, the trend is not unique to this river system but widespread in many other rivers. It indicates the problem could be consistent with largescale changes in climate-driven oceanographic patterns. The problem, apparently, was evident half a century ago. Peterman wrote in their report that the declining trends in the southern stocks compared to the stable stocks of western Alaska were evident from 1950-1985 but have since intensified, especially in the most recent years.
And the trend continues. This year’s Fraser River sockeye run (including the endangered Cultus Lake sockeye) is the result of a four-year cycle when female spawners in the 2008 brood were the lowest since 1968. According to the Pacific Salmon Commission, the sockeye run size forecast, highly uncertain and variable at best, gives a one-in-four chance the number of returning sockeye will be at or below l,203,000 (25 per cent probability) and a threein-four chance the number could be at or below 3,763,000 (75 per cent probability level forecast). The Panel used the 50 per cent level forecast (an equal chance of a higher or lower return) to forecast 2012 returns at 2,119,000 fish. So many people rely on the sockeye for their livelihoods. First Nations people depend on them for cultural and social purposes. But greater and more complex

things seem to be happening in the marine ecosystem. A number of sockeye populations are endangered and steady declines are widespread regardless of whether their habitat is pristine or influenced by human activity. Something is going on in the ocean. According to Peterman’s report, declines seem to be associated in the salmon’s juvenileto-adult productivity time when they are in the ocean rather than during their spawner-to-juvenile stage. Maybe, he suggests as an example, pathogens non-lethal in fresh water are causing mortality in marine waters. Truth is, we know very little about what happens to the sockeye in the ocean. To manage them sustainably, a lot more research must be done to get a thorough understanding of what is really happening and how to conserve this amazing fish.

principles and deserve to be voted out of office. Premier Clark’s recent statement that the only real free enterprisers to be found are in the rightwing parties is next to an insult. We are all free enterprisers, from the ordinary housewife, to labourers, to large and small business owners. All have a “ship” to run, must be prudent and watch their bottom line. Premier Clark is desperate, but it is too late to save her party with her comments. She underestimates the intelligence of our B.C.
citizens. Many Canadians are waiting for the NDP party to make a name change to the “Democratic Party of Canada”. This would bring into the party the centre-right voters and create a party equivalent to their namesake in the United States. We would then have a strong twoparty system, Conservatives and Democrats, and thus would have no need for a third party. This coming May election should herald in an exciting and positive new era in provincial politics.

Solar panels not best option here In reference to Darryl Saundry’s interesting letter (Chilliwack Progress, July 12) regarding the possible introduction of solar panels to provide electricity in Chilliwack, there are a few aspects which make the concept a financial challenge. In a best case scenario solar panels cost about $2,000 per kilowatt but the peripherals like inverters, wiring, batteries and related hardware bring the cost up to over $4,000 per kilowatt.

first went to Camp Sunrise at eight years old, she was timid and scared to leave her mom’s side, but after just a week she came home with a boost of self confidence. “She believed in herself and her studies, and every year since she’s counted down the days to camp,” said Tricia, who has a drawer full of camp shirts, some that have faded and become more of tattered rags than T-shirts, but that her kids refuse to let her throw away “Those shirts and those memories mean so much to them. At camp, everyone is accepted no matter who they are or where they come from – they’re all equals.” This year’s camp runs from July 23-28.

exist for me there.” Now, years later, her own children are experiencing those same joys. While Tricia tries to do everything she can to provide for her children, she still falls under the “working poor” classification despite having full-time employment. Her income just doesn’t allow for extras like camp. “There’s no way I could do it,” she said. “They wouldn’t be able to go.” Which she believes would be a shame. Camp Sunrise isn’t just about the camp experience, it’s about giving young children respite from the stresses, struggles, obstacles, and fears crowding their lives. Situated on Vancouver Island, it encourages emotional, social, physical and spiritual growth, with the intent of instilling in a child a stronger sense of self, individual worth, personal effectiveness and responsibility.

Camp Sunrise is like any other sleep-away camp – kids running around from dawn to dusk, screaming with glee at the different crafts, sports, and activities filling their days, singing ‘til their lungs go dry, and forming lifelong friendships – but with one difference. For the kids at Camp Sunrise, their families don’t have the means to send them there. Enter the Salvation Army. For several decades, the Christian organization has been sending underprivileged children to camps across Canada to experience a week of carefree activities with no worries, no fears, no judgements – a week of what being a child should be. In Chilliwack, that means 30-35 children between the ages of 7 and 12, who otherwise wouldn’t have this opportunity, get to go to camp. “These kids are worth
investing in,” said Chilliwack summer camps’ coordinator Chrisandra Nagel. “Every child deserves a chance. And the need is very real. We have a waiting list, but we can only afford to take so many.” At a cost of $300 per child, plus the cost of a bus rental, the Chilliwack charity is looking at $11,500 to send this year’s group of kids. So far, it’s raised $5,000. “If we could send every child, we would,” said Nagel. “Parents can’t always do it on their own. It takes a community to raise a child and this is one way of doing that.” For Tricia, a Chilliwack mom of six children, the Salvation Army’s summer camps have been a godsend not only for her children, but for her as well. When Tricia was a child in foster care, happy moments were few and far between. That is, until she boarded the bus for camp. “That was my escape,” she said. “I was safe there.

Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Karate masters meet in Chilliwack Eric J. Welsh, The Progress It seems strange that anybody could make Don Sharp feel like a kid. Here he is, a former world champion in karate and one of the highest ranking black belts (sixth-Dan) on the planet. Wherever he is, he should be the most self-assured guy in the room. And yet, put the Valley Shidokan Sensei in the same place as his Japanese mentor, Sakuri Sensei, and it’s like the clock is rolled back. “I very much feel like a kid, like a 15-year-old green belt,” Sharp laughed. Sakuri Sensei, a seventhDan (or degree) black belt, visited Chilliwack in late May for Gasshuku 2012, a high level karate training seminar that spanned several days. Sakuri Sensei was joined in Chilliwack by his own mentor, Oishi Sensei, an eighth-Dan black belt. “Karate is almost like family, so even though I only trained under Oishi Sensei a half-dozen times prior to this, he’s my sensei’s sensei, which makes him my karate grandfather,” Sharp explained. “Sakuri Sensei was right beside me as we lined up, and he was making little comments to me. ‘Watch your knee position! Be careful!’ He was nervous like a kid too, because his sensei was there too.” From May 23-27 Sharp and the two super-senseis trained and tested some of the best of the best from the Japanese Karate Association. “Even though I was one of the examiners and instructors, even though I wasn’t testing for anything myself, I felt a couple times that I had to impress Oishi Sensei, and I was responsible to not embarrass Sakuri Sensei,” Sharp chuckled. “I had to make sure my technique was 100 per cent, make sure all my announcements were clear. Etiquette is the toughest because some senseis are a lot stricter than others. I was expected to remember everything I learned in Japan, from how to serve tea to how to serve beer. All the little intricacies.” Having Sharp, Sakuri Sensei and Oishi Sensei in one spot allowed for some high-level work. They were able to test up to fourth-Dan black belt, and they oversaw
Valley Shidokan Sensei Don Sharp (right) and Oishi Sensei (left) demonstrate proper technique while Sakuri Sensei (center) looks on. The two high-ranking Japanese senseis visited Chilliwack in late May for a Gasshuku seminar. SUBMITTED PHOTO
JKA International Instructor qualifications. “I’ve been on panels to grade people for their next belt, but I’ve never been on a qualifications panel,” Sharp said. “It was very different. They look for a completely different set of skills.” To be a JKA instructor anywhere in the world, one must be a minimum thirdDan black belt and pass the qualifications course. “On a third-Dan black belt test, someone might be talented and train hard and sweat well and have good technique,” Sharp said. “But just because you can do something well doesn’t mean you can teach it. They ask more questions. ‘You can do a front kick, but explain how you would teach it correctly to a seven-year-old kid?’” Sharp remembers travelling to Japan to do his sixthDan black belt, and how nerve-wracking it was to be examined by Oishi Sensei, known to be one of the strictest testers.
“The entire legends panel tests for fifth-Dan and above, and I had to go through four tables and 17 or 18 examiners,” Sharp said. “I’d seen these guys in the textbooks and movies since I was eight years old, and there they were.” Twenty-eight people tested that day, and only four passed. “And Oishi Sensei, as one of the seniors there, would have been a guy to put the rubber stamp on the four that passed, and the thumbs down to the 24 that didn’t,” Sharp said. Several of Sharp’s Valley Shidokan students tested for qualifications and passed Oishi Sensei’s critical eye. Sensei Salvina Sharp moved to B level instructor and C level judge. Larry Hrusik, Tammy Miller, Tania Zink and Sorin Lemnariu all received D level instructor and judge qualifications. Several Valley Shidokan students also tested for higher belts.
Miller and Louise Scott attained their third degree (Sandan) black belts. Clint McCarthy achieved second degree (Nidan) black belt and Ian Robertson and Jacob Maud moved up to first degree (Shodan) black belt. Valley Shidokan hosted between 50-60 high-level senseis from across North America (plus two from South America). The scope of the seminar was unheard of for a community the size of Chilliwack. “A Gasshuku or anything of this magnitude is usually done in Paris or New York or Los Angeles,” Sharp noted. “Our visitors were very impressed with the mountains. They were just stunned by the scenery and how green it was here. And they were really impressed with the Chilliwack people, and how friendly they were.” Getting permission to hold the Gasshuku in Chilliwack was a tall enough task.
Organizing it turned out to be an epic adventure. Take whatever you know about organizing seminars, and throw a whole bunch of Japanese cultural expectations into the mix. Result? Far more than Sharp expected. “There’s a huge number of formal letters that have to go out, and they all have to go out in order at the right time,” he said. “The Pan American Japanese instructor has to be sent a letter. You wait four days, then you send a letter to JKA headquarters. You’ve got to be careful with your wording, simple enough so they can read it, yet still eloquent and polite. That was the hardest part for me.” From the initiation of the idea two years ago to the completion of the seminar, Sharp had to pull together the big details (venues, hotels, travel) and small details (t-shirts). With plenty of help, he
succeeded. “Everything went smoothly, but I didn’t want to say anything because, you know, Murphy’s Law,” he said. “Once both Sakuri Sensei and Oishi Sensei were away, it was a huge sigh of relief and a feeling of accomplishment. We did it.” Of course, doing it once means they can do it again. In the immediate aftermath, Sharp’s wife, Salvina, said no to a repeat performance. She’s since softened her stance. “She said, ‘No one in our dojo is allowed to talk about another seminar for at least three months!’” Sharp laughed. “And she was quite serious about it. But I think the plan will be to do something of this magnitude in Chilliwack once a year around the same time every year. She’s OK with that plan.” Get Valley Shidokan info online at valleyshidokan. com

NEWLOVE Harry Robert
July 15, 1948 - July 6, 2012 God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you And whispered come with me. So when we saw you sleeping So peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back To suffer that again. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Harry after a courageous battle NEWLOVE with Multi System Atrophy. He slipped away peacefully at home July 6 with Kelley by his side. His wish was to remain at home in his final days and with the help of family and close friends, that was made possible. He will forever be missed by his wife of 20 years Kelley and his sons, Dustin (Valerie) and Shane. Harry also leaves behind his two beautiful grandchildren, Charlee Marie, 19 months and Ryder Levi Harry, 6 months. Harry is also survived by his brother John. He was predeceased by his father Harry, mother Ethel and brother Don. Harry was a broker/ co-owner of Royal Lepage Wheeler Cheam Realty. He began his real estate career after his career in the banking business. Harry joined real estate in 1980 and was recently recognized by the Real Estate Institute of British Columbia for 30 years of active membership. In September of 2010 Harry was presented an honorary membership to the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board. He was well respected by his peers and will be missed by many. Harry was a long time member of The Chilliwack Mt. Cheam Rotary Club where he served as president in 1991/1992. He was always a leader of the pack when it came to volunteering. Harry loved golf, playing poker with his buddies and holidaying and camping with family and friends. Harry just loved his social life. The family would like to thank Dr. Bartell and his amazing staff for all their compassion and willingness to make Harry’s final months possible to remain at home. It also would not have been possible without help of homecare workers and nurses, especially that of Nurse Donna. Many thanks to all those who came to the house to share stories with Harry. A service for Harry will be held on July 20, 2012 at The Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould Street, Chilliwack at 1:00pm. A celebration of life will follow at 3:30pm at The Best Western Hotel.

ROBERTS William (Bill) Lawrence
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William (Bill) Lawrence Roberts, July 7, 2012, at the Cascade Hospice, Chilliwack. With family by at his side Bill peacefully joined his wife Marge. Born is Balgone, Saskatchewan December 23, 1921 to George and Margaret Roberts, Bill was the youngest of 9 children. He was predeceased by his wife Marjory (Marge) in 2003 and by his parents and siblings. Bill was a Korean veteran serving with the Canadian Army (RCE). Following his retirement from military service, in 1966, he enjoyed a career in Real Estate and owned and operated “Bill’s Sharp Shop”. Respected for his skill he was equally respected for his honesty and his integrity. After he retired he and his wife, Marge, and their dog Freeway, spent happy times exploring B.C. in their camper, their favourite spot being
Moncks Park at Nicola Lake. They enjoyed trips to Mexico, the Cooke Islands and travelled across Canada. Bill was a member of Chilliwack Kiwanis and served as President of Kiwanis Golden K. Always a collector, and lover of antiques, at the age of 80 Bill developed a love of small antique collectibles, in particular pocket watches. A life long learner, he became an expert on each watch in his collection and enjoyed sharing the stories of their acquisition and history. Bill was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was loved by all and his quick wit and gregarious nature will be missed. Left to mourn his passing, but celebrate his life are his daughters Joanne Roberts Gleig and Jan (Bob) Ranger of Chilliwack. grandchildren, Jeff (Tea) Ranger of Burnaby, Jason Gleig of Victoria and Jennifer (Chad) Anderson of New Westminster, great grandchildren Beth and Brodie Anderson, Genna Buechner and Margot Berner, and
good friend Delphine Benjamin. Honouring Bill’s request, there will be no service but private remembrance celebration will take place at a later date. Dr. Paul Basson was Dad’s physician for many years. The family extends heartfelt thanks and deep gratitude to Palliative Care Team members Kim Giesbrecht, R.N., C.R.N., and Dr. Ron Bull, Palliative Physician. Their quick and compassionate response to our call, will forever be appreciated. Dad’s timely admission to the Cascade Hospice assured that his last weeks were spent as he chose. Thanks also to the Nursing Staff, Support Staff and Volunteers of the Cascade Hospice. The kindness and compassion shown to Dad and to the family will long be remembered. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made, in Dad’s name, to the Cascade Hospice. “The art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on”. Breathe easy Dad. Good bye Cashew Grampa.
