Cummins shrugs off Martin defection Robert Freeman The Progress

The BC Conservative Party is alive and well in Chilliwack, despite the defection of its only MLA and its star candidate in the recent byelection here, says party leader John Cummins. Cummins also sur vived an attack on his leadership Saturday that had its roots here in Chilliwack as party vicepresident Ben Besler had urged members to vote for a review in the weeks leading up to the party’s annual general meeting in Langley. Besler was seeking the presidency of the party, while other dissidents were eyeing executive positions on a new board of directors. Besler was also a former election candidate for the BC Conservatives and an organizer of the anti-HST vote in Chilliwack. But Cummins told The Progress on Monday that “the people who were pushing for the review didn’t fare well” and neither Besler nor the other members of the dissident faction were elected to board positions. Over 70 per cent of the membership voted against holding a leadership review, indicating a solid base of support for Cummins’ leadership. Besler did not return a call from The Progress for comment. Before the Saturday vote, John Martin, the Conservative candidate in the April byelection in Chilliwack announced he was leaving the party to join the BC Liberals. Continued: CONFIDENT/ p7

Martin joins B.C. Liberals in Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

UFV criminologist John Martin is “ecstatic” to be welcomed into the B.C. Liberal party and hopes to be given the nod in Chilliwack during the next provincial election. He resigned from the B.C. Conservatives at a press conference at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel Friday, flanked by former B.C. Liberals candidate Laurie Throness and retiring MLA John Les. Martin was peppered with questions about his role as onetime rival and vociferous critic of the B.C. Liberals, while running in Chilliwack-Hope last spring for the B.C. Conservatives. He was ready with answers. “Simply put, I believe there is more that unites us than divides

us,” he said, adding he thinks he can work better from within. Martin cast aside suggestions he was flip-flopping by defecting. He smiled and posed while signing his B.C. Liberals membership card on-camera. He called the Liberals’ “a big tent” where there’s ample room for a broad spectrum of opinions from free-enterprisers like himself. The real aim is preventing “another disastrous NDP government,” he said. “We have to be big enough to show that we can unite and put the interests of British Columbia ahead of parties.” He decided recently the B.C. Conservatives party was “no longer” for him upon careful reflection. “I knew change was in the air shortly after the byelection,” he

said, when the BC Conservatives were experiencing a profound sense of demoralization. A mutual friend of his and some B.C. Liberals initiated discussions about his joining the other party. “This has not been underway for a long time.” It was suggested last Friday’s announcement was timed to upstage the B.C. Conservatives’ annual meeting. But Martin said it was the ability of people like Les and Throness to map out a different perspective on the party and its leader. “I liked what I heard.” “Obviously this is an imperfect party, they all are. However this administration has done a lot of good things,” he said. He has made clear his opposition of the B.C. carbon tax and the incineration option for the region. But in general he likes what he

sees. “They’re going in the right direction and they’re in the process of renewal. “And again I am thrilled and excited to be part of that process of renewal.” But the provincial media continued to press him about the barrage of criticism he leveled at the B.C. Liberals, and whether it will come back to haunt him. Martin is a competitive barbecue pit master, so he threw out a joke with a culinary twist: “If anyone can make eating crow taste good, It’s me.” But the byelection campaign was “tense” and “emotional” but not personal in any way. “I think this shows people change, times change and most important for me the B.C. Liberals are showing change by welcoming me.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Decriminalizing pot on UBCM pre-conference agenda

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The idea of decriminalizing marijuana was tossed around Monday by some of the 1,500 municipal reps from across B.C. converging in Victoria. As chair of the UBCM Resolutions Committee, Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz confirmed it was up for discussion Monday in a pre-conference session at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities annual convention. “It’s going to be an incredibly

exciting and busy week with a total of over 200 resolutions coming forth,” she said. “Monday will see discussion about decriminalization, as well as tanker traffic and pipelines.” Former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant was set to weigh in as a member of Stop the Violence coalition of experts calling for an end to criminalization of marijuana. The proposed resolution, which calls for the regulation and taxation of pot, from the District of Metchosin is: “Whereas marijuana prohibition

is a failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs; and whereas the decriminalization and regulation of marijuana would provide tax revenue, therefore be it resolved that UBCM call on the appropriate government to decriminalize marijuana and research the regulation and taxation of marijuana.” Gaetz said it’s the first time the UBCM membership has been asked to consider a resolution calling for decriminalization of pot specifically. Wednesday will see the actual

vote of membership take place on that same issue. Chilliwack councillors, Jason Lum, Ken Popove, Susan Attrill and Stewart McLean will be in attendance, along with Mayor Gaetz, in various roles and times during the week-long conference. The whole debate over decriminalization comes as UBCM is also set to consider another cannabisrelated resolution, to ensure medical marijuana production requires a permit, and is in compliance with all municipal safety and building regulations.

It originally was submitted in 2011 as a late resolution, “but did not meet the criteria to be admitted for debate as an emergency resolution,” according to 2012 UBCB Conference documents, and now it’s being proposed amidst the federal proposals to overhaul the Medical Marijuana Access Regulations. A resolution tackling the scourge of contaminated sites, or “brownfields” is being offered by the communities of Vanderhoof,

The Progress At precisely 3:32 Wednesday afternoon, Jordan Breuker’s right foot connected with the football, kicking off the first regular season game in GW Graham Grizzly history. The local lads played the secondranked team in the province, the Mission Roadrunners and the final score was 24-0. Twenty years from now, no one’s likely to remember that. What they’re more likely to remember is the names and faces of the pigskin pioneers who brought the high school game back to Chilliwack for the first time in three decades. They’ll remember Breuker, the 14-year-old quarterback who proved impossible to be brought down by any less than three Mission tacklers. They’ll see No. 14 in white, Billy Hansen, plowing through Mission defenders with his humpback Christian-Okoye style shoulder pads. They’ll see No. 34 in white, Tristan Davis, paving the way for Breuker and Hansen with devastating lead blocks. On the defensive side, the players and coaches and parents who saw the game will recall the thundering hits thrown by linebacker Kirkland Kennedy and talk about the way outside linebacker Cyrus Tommy three times tracked down and dropped Mission running backs behind the line of scrimmage. They’ll wince when they remember cornerback Ryan Trottier’s bonejarring hit on a Mission receiver, perfectly, and I mean perfectly, timed just as the ball arrived. It drew a 15-yard pass interference penalty. “Lousy call,” they’ll justifiably say. “He couldn’t have timed it any better!” These and future Grizzlies will go on to play many football games. They will win thrillers and lose heartbreakers and probably claim a championship or thirteen along the way. But the guys who went to war on that beaten up field in Mission on Sept. 19, 2012 will always be special. They were the first.

“It’s the faces I’ll remember,” mused head coach Laurie Smith. “I talked to the coach of Vancouver College not too long ago, and that’s a program that’s almost 100 years old. And here we are, standing at the very beginning of something. The legacy and traditions we’re starting now, in 20 or 50 or 100 years they’ll look back at us as the guys who started it all.” They’ve been told about it over and over. The players have heard from Smith about how they are the trail blazers, how they’ll make history every time they set foot on the field. Chances are they don’t truly appreciate it now. When faced with girls and homework and video games, what live-inthe-moment teenager is going to stop to ponder the historical significance of this football rebirth? “To the 14-year-old mind, I don’t think the history of football in Chilliwack is a dominant factor,” Smith conceded. “And that’s fine. Right now we’re absorbed in just getting into

football, focusing on the fundamentals and the task at hand.” Spoken like a coach who wasn’t overly pleased with his team’s performance in Mission. Spoken like a coach who knows there’s a second act to come. On Thursday, his team will make their home-field debut at Exhibition Stadium. There will be more than just a handful of friends and family at this one. The stands, Smith hopes, will be packed to the rafters as his Grizzlies take on the Robert Bateman Timberwolves. They’ll have a band and a cheer squad. It won’t just be a football game. It will be an event. It is this game, not the Mission one, that most of us will remember when we reminisce. “The atmosphere in Mission, it was just a collection of parents plus some kids who were hanging around and thought they’d see what was happening,” Smith said. “But we’ve been to games in the United States, and that’s what we want. In Lynden, which is

not very big, they get 2,500 to 3,000 people out for high school games. It’s electric. They’ve got a tradition where high school football games are the place to be. It’ll take time for us to create a tradition that way, but that is one of our goals.” The Grizzlies may never reach the football-as-religion status depicted on Friday Night Lights. No one will ever spend $60,000,000 to build an 18,000 seat stadium like the Texas-based Allen Eagles enjoy. But when Smith talks about the start of something special, he means it. “In the U-S, being on the high school football team is a huge honour and privilege, a point of pride,” he said. “It’s something special to be a part of, and creating that tradition increases the likelihood that more kids will want to be a part of it. I read recently that high school kids never rally around their math team. But they will rally around their football team.” Kick off is at 6 p.m.

A mobile business licence pilot program approved by Chilliwack city council last week will make life easier for merchants and shoppers alike, says Patti MacAhonic at the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce. “It streamlines everything,” she said. If an Inter-Municipal Business Licence bylaw is approved at the end of the pilot program, eligible mobile businesses like roofers and caterers will be able to purchase a licence to operate anywhere in the nine Fraser Valley municipalities in the program. Shoppers in Chilliwack would have more access to services not available here, and increased competition would tend to drive down consumer prices, said MacAhonic, executive director of the Chilliwack Chamber. She said it was decided that no special provision is needed in the bylaw to ensure businesses are aware of different bylaw regulations that may exist in each municipality, which would be the normal responsibility of any business.

Paraglider spends cold night alone after crash near Agassiz A 20-year-old paraglider was airlifted to safety after spending a cold night alone on Mt. Cheam. The man reportedly crashed at about 3,500 feet up the mountainside sometime Saturday evening, but rescuers could not reach him before night fell and temperatures dropped. He was reportedly in serious condition when a military search and rescue helicopter was finally able to reach him at about 8 a.m. Sunday. RCAF Search and Rescue Technicians (SAR Techs) were hoisted almost 300 feet from a hovering Cormorant helicopter to the injured paraglider early morning on Sunday. The incident took place at a height of 4900 feet, with steep terrain complicating the rescue. “We were pulling a lot of torque, using all the power our three engines could give us to maintain the hover, allowing our SAR Techs to descend with the

rescue basket,” said Capt. Pete Wright, pilot. “Because the terrain was steep, we didn’t have a lot of room to maneuver the helicopter and we had to be careful the downwash from our rotors didn’t blow debris onto the patient.” “We got on scene, assessed his injuries and stabilized him,”

said Sgt. Steph Clavette, SAR Tech. “He was cold with serious injuries so we had to be very careful.” Once onboard the helicopter, the patient was flown to Abbotsford where he was transferred into the care of BC Ambulance. His present condition is unknown. The rescue came

after earlier attempts by another Cormorant helicopter Saturday night had been frustrated by clouds and difficulties in determining the location of the downed paraglider, that helicopter suffered a mechanical difficulty later that night. The cause of the crash is not known at this time.

Shari Greer is a woman who is too familiar with grief. For helping others cope with the death of their loved ones, she was honoured by the group Canadian Parents of Murdered Children and Survivors of Homicide on Thursday. Greer is the mother of Kathryn-Mary Herbert, an 11-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered while walking to her home on Ross Road in 1975. The case was never solved. It has been high profile over the years, and highlighted in many cold case media reports and documentaries over the years. Less well known is that Greer lost two other children – her son Donnie had drowned in a gravel pit near the Abbotsford Airport a year before KathrynMary was taken. Her son William, or Butch, died by suicide. He had feelings of guilt for not driving his sister home the night she was abducted, and felt he failed her by not solving her murder. C h r i s t o p h e r Ducharme, founder of the B.C. Victims of Homicide, presented Greer with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award, on behalf of the group Canadian Parents of Murdered Children and Survivors of Homicide.

Shari Greer, left, was honoured last week by the Canadian Parents of Murdered Children and Survivors of Homicide. Her daughter, KathrynMary Herbert, was abducted and murdered while walking to her home in 1975.

She was nominated for the award by a retired police officer who worked on KathrynMary’s case. He became familiar with her cause – justice for her daughter, and creating a safe and supportive environment for anyone who is bereaved by the loss of a loved one. His nomination says she displayed limitless courage in challenging the police to pursue the 1975 murder investigation and hold them accountable. She has also hosted grief support retreats for the last decade at her home in Chilliwack. Ducharme said these retreats show Greer’s understanding of the unique suffering of people who lose a loved one to homicide. He also networks with hundred of these people. “When people speak

out about their story, sharing and talking, that is the most healing process.” Greer helps people share their suffering. “I am available to anyone,” she said. “I try. I don’t have all the answers.” Greer explained that her summer grief retreats see people camp on her property beside the Chilliwack River, or stay in a hotel. Last year she had 15 visitors, but in the past there has been over 100. “Ever yone knows they can come and talk about their loss and longing and aching, and not worry about someone turning away or trying to shut them down.” She said many people will tell bereaved friends and family members to put their loss in their past, and get on with life. She said the family

of homicide victims can find that impossible. “There’s not such thing as closure – closure does not exist. But over the years, you develop coping skills,” she said. “You never let go of it.” There are also good times over the weekend retreats, Greer noted. Ducharme said the award was to “commend her for her support for other families that are bereaved.” He found Greer very emotional in receiving the Queen’s award. “She was very appreciative and humbled.”

• An autopsy revealed she had been killed by a skull fracture, and that she also had a broken jaw. • The case was linked to similar cases, the 1976 murder of 15-year-old Theresa Hildebrandt, and the 1978 death of Monica Jack in Merritt. • Police had a person of interest in the case – a convicted sex offender who did jail time both before and after the murder of Kathryn-Mary. He dated a girl who had been living with the Herberts, had visited the house, and knew Kathryn-Mary. He was circumstantially linked to the murders of Hildebrant and Jack. • In August, 1996, at the urging of Kathryn-Mary’s mother, the body was exhumed for a more detailed autopsy, using more modern forensic methods. • In the early 1990s files for the case went missing, possibly due to the amalgamation of the Matsqui Police Department and the Abbotsford RCMP. Two letters that were sent to Kathryn Mary in the early 1980s, after her death, and which had been sent for handwriting analysis, were lost.

CONFIDENT from Front After the Saturday vote, MLA John van Dongen, who had left the BC Liberals and joined the Conservative Party during the byelection campaign, announced he was also leaving the party to sit as an independent in the B.C. Legislature. Cummins said he was “disappointed on a personal level” with Martin’s decision — “I quite liked the man,” he said — but befuddled on a political level. “I don’t quite understand it.” He said Martin, a criminology professor at UFV, was “adamant during the byelection that the Liberals weren’t doing the job when it came to the criminal justice system.” “Half a billion in spending cutbacks on crime was a real concern for him,” Cummins said. Both small-c conservative parties are trying to woo voters with a get-tough-on-crime stance. Cummins said a number of possible replacements for Martin have come forward, and he’s “confident” the party will run a candidate here in the May 14, 2013 provincial election. “We’re quite confident we’ll be able to do quite well,” he said. But Dennis Adamson, who’s running for the NDP nomination in the Chilliwack riding, says he’s not so sure given the hypocrisy both parties have shown in light of the defections. “I’m totally amazed all the time at what these parties will do,” he said. “There is no integrity.” He said Martin “defected to the BC Liberals ... after he said all those things about them in the byelection ... how could a person condemn a party, and then join it?” “These guys are so afraid of the NDP, they’re trying to do anything they can to stop the NDP - that’s what it’s all about,” Adamson said. Kirsten Hauge, president of the NDP constituency association in Chilliwack, declined to comment publicly on the Tories’ Troubles.

• On Sept. 24, 197, KathrynMary went to the home of her friend, Corrie Premack, at 2089 Peardonville Road, and stayed for spaghetti dinner. The house has since burned down. • Corrie and her sister Connie walked Kathryn-Mary home, accompanied by Bradley McCullough. At the junction of Townline and Peardonville, the sisters turned back. Bradley doubled Kathryn-Mary on his bike to the corner of Townline and Marshall, and then left her to walk approximately 300m to her house at 31215 King Road. • A couple driving past saw the pair talking, and as they continued they saw a parked older-model white vehicle with a lone male occupant. They took notice of the car, because there had been gas thefts in the neighbourhood. It was parked on the route between Kathryn-Mary’s last known location and her home. • Kathr yn-Mar y never made it home, and at 10:52 p.m. her mother reported her missing to police. • Two months later her body was discovered under a pile of old plywood and boards on Matsqui First Nations land.

Remember the rivers

The Chilliwack

R AESIDE

Creeks and rivers support an interdependent web of life and we damage them at our peril. For much of the last century, we have done everything imaginable to destroy these critical waterways — covering them over, altering their course, polluting them, diminishing their capacity to support life. It’s a wonder we still have functioning creeks and rivers and to which exhausted salmon still return to spawn. Nature’s resilience can, in large part, explain why our creeks and rivers still teem with life. But there have been efforts made over the years to improve things and some humans deserve credit. Thanks to streamkeepers and groups like Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup Society, there are more kilometres of life-supporting habitat along these waterways and more fish in the once sterile creeks. Thanks to wise lawmakers, there are more regulations requiring industry to minimize the impact of development and resource extraction on waterways, and cities are taking more responsibility and using best practices to protect waterways in their jurisdictions, too. Even the public is getting involved by cleaning up the garbage. Over the years, the Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup Society has held 36 cleanups, and more than 5,000 volunteers have rolled up their sleeves to help, donating 20,952 volunteer hours to collect a 76.75 tonnes of trash. This Sunday the Society will be at it again. At the last cleanup in July, 580 kilograms of garbage was collected at the Fish and Game site, while 400 kg came from the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, with 230 kg of wood waste. This week, as World Rivers Day approaches, we should make time to learn about our nearest creeks and rivers and take a walk along them. True, they are under threat day by day, but if each of us becomes a responsible steward, they have a greater chance of surviving into the next century. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. at the Fish and Game site, with doughnuts and coffee for volunteers. A barbecue lunch is at noon, followed by a few speakers and draw prizes. Don’t forget your gloves and boots. The meeting place is Chilliwack Fish and Game Protective Association club house (48685 Chilliwack Lake Road). More at www.cleanrivers.ca/ events.html

Urgent action needed to save wild bird habitats

It seemed that this spring the skies were unusually quiet of birdsong. April, May and June is usually a noisy – and lovely – nesting time. But where were all the colourful migratory birds that herald the arrival of spring, the nest building activity, and the thrill of their ancient songs? Where were the barn swallows, grosbeaks, flickers, wild pigeons, and hummingbirds? Song birds usually fill the trees in spring and there are usually hummingbird line-ups at the feeders from the end of March onwards as dozens of them hover, pushing for their turn. But this spring, we only saw two. Raptors – eagles, hawks, owls, and turkey vultures – seemed to be relatively plentiful but something was amiss. I thought of Rachel Carson’s prophetic classic book ‘Silent Spring’ which, this year, celebrates its 50th anniversary since its release.

Has the wisdom of her words that warned of birds’ demise because of pesticides and habitat loss come back to roost? Possibly yes. This summer, the first ever report State of Canada’s Birds 2012 was released by the North American Bird Conser vation Initiative, Canada. The report, which draws on 40 years Margaret of data, found that, overall, Canada’s EVANS bird species have declined by 12 per cent since 1970. Some 44 per cent of species have declined, 33 per cent have increased and 23 per cent are holding their own. While raptor populations (i.e., eagles, hawks, owls, falcons) have increased due to direct conser-

vation work, especially in pesticide control, grassland birds are in decline due to habitat loss while shorebirds have declined by almost half. Aerial insectivores – birds that feed on insects on the wing such as swallows and flycatchers – have declined the most but the reasons are still unclear. Some waterfowl populations such as the Canada goose have doubled yet the great blue heron is strongly decreasing “Overall, more species are decreasing (44 per cent of species in Canada) than increasing (33 per cent),” the report stated. “Some groups have severely declined, including grassland birds, migratory shorebirds, and aerial insectivores. These groups have all decreased by more than 40 per cent, on average, and some individual species in these groups have decreased by more than 90 per cent.”

The Rufus hummingbird, once so frequent at our feeders, has declined 63 per cent since 1966. The reasons are many and varied. Loss of forests, wetlands, breeding grounds, and southern wintering habitat, pesticides, acid rain, and migration dangers are all factors in the mix. Here on the west coast, many species have declined by 10 per cent and, in regions throughout the province, forestry, agriculture, resource extraction, and urban and industrial spread all put pressures on bird habitat. Climate change has influenced the spread of the mountain pine beetle and the report indicates that the reduction of the mature pine forest will be over 90 per cent by 2015. Fixing the problem will take the willpower of everyone from homeowners with backyards planted with fruit bushes, nesting trees and feeders to conservation proj-

ects to restore and protect riparian, woodland and grassland habitat, foster nesting areas and support environmental policies that are bird friendly. We could take a cue from Europe too. Conservation grazing programs use large grazers such as horses to graze wetlands back to health. The program has been successful in the U.K where horses’ eating habits leave stands of grasses at various heights and thicknesses, allowing sunlight to reach the soil and trigger seed germination. The mix of grasses, sedges and reed heights creates a diversity of ecological niches, providing food for other animals and enticing rare birds to return. Conservation programs work but clearly there’s an urgent need for much more to be done to protect bird habitats.

Downtown plan leaves too many questions We have lost the Empress Hotel, and are about to lose the Paramount Theatre. The newest concept plan from the City depicts a development that means we will lose the remaining heritage buildings at Five Corners including The Hipwell Building, all the way up to and including the Stacey Block. No one at City Hall deserves a pat on the back for planning to demolish every single significant heritage building left on the Yale Road corridor in advance of a concrete plan that they can actually communicate to us as more than a concept drawing. Why is Chilliwack one of the only municipalities between Hope and Whistler without a council -appointed Heritage Advisory Committee? Just google it, I did. Why has the Museum and Archives been relegated to a role that seems to involve salvaging artifacts from our heritage buildings before they are demolished? I would like to hear publicly from the experts at the Museum and Archives as to how they feel about the Downtown

Plan. There are so many other voices in this community that are conspicuously absent, such as the voice of the BIA. Maybe it’s because CEPCO, the BIA, the Downtown Implementation Committee, and the City ,all share board members and staff...you can google that too. This whole Downtown Plan and all the shenanigans at the City and CEPCO reminds me a little of the HST fiasco…sometimes the “process” is equally as important as the “outcome” trying to be achieved. When people feel that they have not been consulted properly, and that their voices have not been heard, they are going to let the people in power know about it… first on principle, and then because they want answers and will find a way to get them. Last week, I got a call from a friend of mine who happened to be driving by the Paramount just after 6 a.m. Knowing I am passionate about the state of heritage buildings downtown, he called me, and I threw on a jacket, grabbed my camera and walked the 2 minutes up to

the Paramount to see for myself. Sure enough, by 6:20 a.m., contents of the Paramount had been loaded into a large private construction trailer and off they drove, in the company of three or four other pickup trucks. Maybe the light of pre-dawn is when CEPCO and the City do their best work, or maybe they would like demolition to proceed as quickly and quietly as possible to avoid too many curious eyes and any more questions. I personally feel they should go back to the drawing board totally on the Downtown Plan, some will disagree with me and that’s OK. What’s not OK is a Downtown Plan built on misinformation, lack of transparency and an improper consultation process. Other communities all across Canada have successfully rebuilt their historic downtowns without ripping out the roots of the community and without alienating their citizens…just google it.

‘Sense of doom’ over Chilliwack Mountain plans I moved to Chilliwack about 14 years ago to raise my children out of the city. I wanted a more natural and rural lifestyle for them. They are now young women and they got that lifestyle. I am not convinced that it would be the case if I was making that decision today. I have watched with a heavy and confused heart as Chilliwack has matured along with my children. I traveled to other countries to work for many years before I had my children and all over the world, people knew of the Fraser Valley and spoke of it with awe for the reputation it had as an incredible farming area and it’s natural

beauty. It made me feel thankful that Canada was so blessed to have such a gift as I watched sheep in Australia being euthanised because of drought and a crashing wool market. Thousands and thousands of carcasses were bulldozed into pits. It was a heartbreaking time. Other places such as Africa have certainly suffered from not only natural disasters, but man made ones as well. Chilliwack is a place of natural beauty and abundance, yet I watch as that is rapidly being eradicated by concrete buildings and yet more housing developments that are there seemingly overnight. I watched as the

Port Moody/Coquitlam area developed over the years and it is hideous in many aspects. Some of it is lovely but the traffic and congestion is not, the site of one house after another over every last bit of what was once had the natural beauty of this area is not. I feel a sense of doom as I read about the Chilliwack Mountain Issues and all the proposals and what developers have in mind for our lovely little mountain. I am happy Sharon Gaetz is standing up and saying that it is not going to fly. Will it last though? I fully support re-development of the downtown and although the casino

does not thrill me, at least it is not taking another chunk of the natural beauty and habitats of creatures that have been part of the ecosystem here long before the developers hit town. The Paramount could of been awesome, but the truth is that in the end, no one has come up with a good enough plan. Replace it with something that will make sense, but for God’s sake and all the rest of us here in Chilliwack and surrounding areas, stop the destruction before you can’t. The line may already have been crossed. SandraWright

Traffic light needed at Keith Wilson and Tyson Why is there no light at the intersection of Keith Wilson and Tyson? There was a bad accident there [Tuesday]. I was driving along Tyson and came to the stop sign to see a serious accident. It made my heart stop, thinking of the poor people involved hoping no one was seriously hurt. Imagine my feeling of sheer terror to see my brother’s vehicle in the midst of the wreckage and my dad, brother and two-year-old nephew being checked over by paramedics. I pulled over and ran to check if they were OK, they were, just bumps and bruises. The other car and driver were not so

lucky. She was not dead but hurt bad as far as we could see. It turns out she thought the intersection was a 4-way stop and cut out in front of my brother as he was coming down Keith Wilson towards Vedder rd. He had zero time to stop. She was attempting to go across the road to the university. If there had been a passenger in her car... I don’t even want to say it. I think it’s about time to put a light there, especially with the new university campus there. Come on city council, Mayor Sharon Gaetz, whoever the powers to be are... do something. Does someone have to die here to get a light in?

Thanks to all the wonderful police and paramedics who were on scene, everyone was treated with respect and compassion, they even took extra time to check over my little nephew. One of the police officers helped me root through my groceries to find cookies for my nephew. So thank you to everyone who stopped to help. I was told that the only way to get a light there is by having the public write letters to the City and Mayor, so if you want to see this intersection get a light or at the very least a 4-way stop put in. Please write to the city.

2012

Seven years ago Jeremy Frayn began driving delivery trucks for Valley Water. It’s a local company, started 23 years ago to bring quality water products to residents of the Fraser Valley. He worked hard, learned the ropes and enjoyed providing friendly and reliable customer service. A few months back, when the owners decided to sell, Jeremy decided it was an chance he couldn’t let slip past. “I had the opportunity to take over,” he says, “so I took it.” Jeremy and his wife, Jenn are the new owners of the company, maintaining the family tradition and keeping the company local. Water may be one of the staples of life, but not all waters are equal, Jeremy insists. Valley Water offers three types of water. The most popular is the demineralized water that is created using a multistage process that removes impurities, and enhances taste. It begins with a multi-media processor that takes out any particles or sediment. The water is then processed through activated charcoal, then an ion exchange process. It’s filtered again, then forced through reverse osmosis membranes that remove any remaining impurities. As a final step, the water is injected with ozone to keep it free of any harmful microbes. Valley Water also offers distilled water – water that is used primarily for the sterilization of medical equipment.

Down flavour Corner Taking radiohome controlled hobbiesat to the ‘X-Treme’Nook Cafe When Kelly Tattersall decided to hang up his welding gloves and change careers, he was reminded of a dream he once had of opening a restaurant. He had forgotten that dream, until a Facebook friend reminded him so many years later. Kelly had worked in the hospitality industry for years, mostly in high-end hotels in Edmonton and Vancouver. He didn’t work in the kitchen, but was always nearby – close enough to gain an appreciation for the work and a desire to do it on his own one day. Years later, Kelly now has his chance. “Time to put your money where you mouth is,” he says with a laugh. His approach is a decided step away from the formal dinning rooms of his youth. A few weeks ago Kelly took over ownership of the Corner Nook Cafe on Young Street. Open every day for breakfast and lunch, it’s a perfect fit for his goal to serve good, honest food at affordable prices. Kelly is still in the process

Always impressive are the stunning ice sculptures that will be on display, and staff will be pouring streams of ice wine and champagne through them. Organizers have asked the wine reps to bring “the very best of their portfolios” to showcase at the festival. This year that means tasting B.C.

Johnston is looking for ward to seeing the reaction to a unique Italian grape called Bonarda, being grown in Argentina by a special family of vintners.

Small business left out of downtown plan? Re: Council approves downtown development concept for Young and Yale lands As a business owner impacted by this decision I’m left wondering about what type of leadership we have in this community. My wife has operated her photography business out of one the older buildings in this section of town for the past three years. It’s a charming building with a great history in the downtown core. You can see its picture in many of the museum archive photos and the interior of the building still has its original wood floors and tin ceilings. We take a lot of pride maintaining its appearance and have made it our priority to actively be involved in the betterment of the downtown core; whether that be from attending downtown events, engaging with the citizens who live in the area, or supporting our fellow business owners. I’m very proud of what Kim is doing down there. We came to learn about the city’s “assemble land, demolish buildings, hope for a developer to walk in with a pocket full of money” plan as part of the Save the Chilliwack Paramount efforts. Although the

Concept drawing for part of Chilliwack’s downtown.

details of the greater plan were vague, we were left with some level of comfort thinking that there would be further public discussion and debate about specific properties the city would consider acquiring. Sadly, however not surprising, such was not the case.

No right to bark Re: The Right to Bark (Readers Write, Progress, Sept. 20). I think you are a little misguided in thinking your dog is protecting your property. Since when did the alley become your property? People are allowed to walk our streets and our alleyways as they are not private property. Your dog is not protecting you or your property. You sir, just have a barking dog. Train it properly. Janet Chibanoff

CGH staff earn praise Thank you, to the doctors and nurses and other staff at Chilliwack General for the care given on Saturday evening to our not quite one-year-old granddaughter Averie. She had burned herself with the contents of a crock pot, and was taken care of with amazing patience and compassion by everyone present. She is now in the care of Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and is doing well. Once again, we, the family, can’t say thank you enough! Don Edwards

Although I understand that city council makes difficult decisions at times and that not everyone will be in agreement, my bone of contention here is about where the decency has gone towards the small business owners and citizens of the community?

We’re not a big corporation or developer but rather decent citizens just trying to make a living. We’ve been passionate about what we’re doing downtown and today we’re left dealing with the fallout of the public announcement made by the city. There’s

been no “head’s up” or discussions whatsoever with us about this decision and on how it will impact our livelihood. I would have hoped that someone from the city could have contacted us in advance to let us know that they were in effect closing us down … really, there’s only just a handful of small business owners on that street. Where’s the compassion gone towards the little guy and the idea of doing the right thing? So today we are left with an illustration of the downtown that does not include us. Only a few hours after the announcement we are left fielding calls about the uncertainty of our business moving forward and dealing with the negative impact this is having on our business prospects… so much for supporting local business by treating us with such disregard City Council. I think we need some real changes at city hall. Another no surprise was when I called the city this morning and found out that there are no plans in place to deal with the business owners impacted by the council announcement. Clarke Mallory Chilliwack

Women’s roller derby catching like wildfire Have you watched me leave my house wearing my long, funky socks and wonder where I’m going? Betcha there’s lots of neighbours wondering this. And soon, there will be even more neighbours wondering where we’re going. Why? Because women’s roller derby is growing like a wild fire! And it’s here in Chilliwack. Yes, we have two women’s leagues here. And further on down the Valley, team after team is forming. So where is all the newspaper coverage? I mean, we have public bouts where we try so hard sometimes it hurts. In fact, as I write this letter, I have to put my leg up because I broke it. Oh, and the ankle too.

On one of the other teams, one of the girls broke both of her legs. In the same year. And yes, she’s going back to derby. Is she crazy? Yup. Derby crazy. We all are. So come watch us. And let’s see some coverage. After all, we are your neighbours and when you see us in the drugstore, smile at our crazy outfit, and ask us when our next bout is. We will gladly share with you everything there is to know about derby. Why? We love it, and we want to share it with you. We can be found on on facebook or at www. voodooderbydollz.com.

Family movie times appreciated

I just want to commend Cottonwood 4 Cinemas for trying a Moms and Tots movie day. Wednesday’s 3 p.m. shows will accommodate parents with their little ones with brighter lit theatres and lower volume movies to be more childfriendly.

As a mother of a breastfeeding 7 month old and an active 3 year old I feel like my needs and those of my children are being taken into consideration. It will be nice to treat my child to a movie without getting dirty looks from other movie goers or not-so-discreet

whispers about bringing along a baby. My children are human beings with the same rights as others. So, thank you Cottonwood 4 Cinemas for thinking about our children as well!! Shauna Jimmie

Core vision should include Paramount Re: ‘Core Vision much clearer’ I find it interesting that the vision does not even include the land that the Paramount theatre sits on and yet it needs to be demolished to allow for development? It seems to me that if you want people to live in a downtown you will need entertainment to interest them where they live. Does it not make sense to keep the theatre and make it a drawing card rather than the empty lot that may sit that way for years after the proposed development is built? I understand old buildings are a lot of work to restore but they have character you could never build into a new structure. Gary Bartsch

Where is the BIA? Where has the voice of the BIA, the Business “Improvement” Association been as the Mayor and council set out to destroy the downtown’s heritage one building at a time. Do they not have a mandate to attract and retain businesses in the downtown core? Surely the short-sighted decision of council to demolish one of the downtown’s most visible buildings, The Paramount Theatre will have a negative impact on existing businesses. Clearly the evidence shows having a restored theatre downtown attracts new businesses. As a student of UVIC in Cultural Resource Management, my current course in Heritage Resource Management covers a section on downtown revitalization and theatres as an important part in urban revitalization. One does not have to look very far to find examples; the Rose Theatre in nearby Washington is just one example of hundreds of restored theatres that are part of a healthy downtown. This is in addition to case studies of theatres included in my course material. Surely the BIA cannot believe that empty lots, empty storefronts and the continued loss of heritage buildings will do anything to create a healthy, vibrant downtown Chilliwack. Looks like now you’ll have to spend additional money re-printing your banners to remove the Paramount. Shame on you for your silence! Laura Reid

Members of the Chilliwack Common Threads Knitting Circle are inviting the community to join them in making scarves for the Salvation Army. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Warm hearts knit warm scarves for those in need Jenna Hauck The Progress

It’s a warm, late-summer night and people outside are in shorts and T-shirts. Inside a coffee shop, a group of women are already thinking about winter. In fact, they’re been thinking about it all year, since January. Members of the Chilliwack Common Threads Knitting Circle are knitting and crocheting up a storm. Their hands and fingers are a blur as they hook and wrap yarn around needles. Sally Jones is straight knitting four rows, then on the fifth row she wraps the yarn around the needle twice to make the piece look fluffier. Sheila Hershey is doing a garter stitch on a bias.

Sarah Beaton’s pattern is knit two, knit one back, purl one. Jeanine D’Addario is crocheting hers. And Angie McDermid is knitting something called a ‘waffle’ scarf. Each item is different, and that’s one of the goals of the project. The women are knitting scarves for the Salvation Army. The project is called Green Heart Warm Heart and the scarves will be given out to those in need during the annual Christmas dinner hosted by the local Sally Ann. “We want to share our craft, and it’s how we show we care — through our knitting,” says McDermid. They chose to focus on making scarves because it’s the one of the most basic and easiest articles of clothing to knit. They also want other people in the community to

make scarves and donate as well. “It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it does have to be handmade,” says McDermid, adding that they welcome knitters and crocheters of all abilities to join them. Even Mayor Sharon Gaetz is making one, she adds.

So far, they’ve made and collected about 60 scarves. Ten of those were brought in that evening by one member who says that the woman who made them is visually impaired. She knit all ten scarves in just one month. The club’s goal is to donate 150 to 160 scarves to the Salvation Army. “At Christmas, there may be people who are forgotten and we want them to know that they are not forgotten,” says McDermid. A large, green tub sits on the floor beside the group, overflowing with scarves. They are a rainbow of colours. Some are bright and fluorescent, some are fluffy and soft, others are thick and chunky. The knitters use words to describe them, Continued: KNITTING/ p22

As Jeff Engelbrecht pulls open the steel door leading to the back shop at West End Autobody, there is pride in his voice. It’s the kind of humble satisfaction that comes from someone who respects his past, but looks forward to the future. At 34 years old, Engelbrecht is the third generation in the family-owned business. His Grandfathers cousin was one of the original owners back when the company operated out of a former roller rink on Yale Road. In 1973 his father bought the company. Then, three years ago the elder Engelbrecht chose to retire and Jeff Engelbrecht had an opportunity to carry on that tradition.... It all started with three young men, Alfred Prachnau, Ken Dargatz and Emil Gaudet. The three friends decided to open their own business and work for themselves. 1952 was the opening year and they named it “Westend Autobody” because of the location on Yale Rd, the west side of Chilliwack, on the old roller rink cement pad, called “Joe’s Rollerrink”. The humble building was erected in a week, 4 sides a window and a door. That started the history of Westend. In 1969, Westend expanded and moved

locations, it was the first business on Airport Road, and that is where it sits today. Harry Engelbrecht, President at Westend, started working with the collision repair shop in the summer of ‘71 as an apprentice technician, right out of high school, not knowing in a few years he would become an owner of a thriving business. He had many relatives work with him over the decades, making Westend a true family owned and operated business. Harry instilled integrity within his staff, making Westend what it is today. When it came time to decide a direction for Jeff ’s life, the elder of Harry and Darlene’s children, he veered away from the autobody industry and studied business at Simon Fraser University instead. But the door was always left open for him to return, Engelbrecht said. His father always made it clear that he was always welcome. Chilliwack did have a pull on Engelbrecht. Not only was he born and raised here, but so were his parents; his grand-parents moved to Chilliwack after the Second World War. So move back to Chilliwack he did, and 11 years ago Engelbrecht began putting the business skills he gained at university to work at home. The auto repair

industry has changed much since those early years at the roller rink. Today, computers, and lazer-assisted electronics are as much a part of the business as a cutting torch was years ago. Something that hasn’t changed, says Engelbrecht, is the need to provide outstanding customer service. “Our reputation in the community is way more valuable to us than any advertising,” he says. “We really think of the customer as our boss.” Ninety per cent of West End’s business comes from repeat customers or referrals. They are continuously updating their equipment and ongoing training for their staff. The equipment that they use is state of the art, and the leader in repair technology. Engelbrecht also believes in giving back to the community that supports him by offering school bursaries, apprenticeship opportunities, and ongoing support for Chilliwack’s Restorative Justice program, Huskers football, Salmon society, local hockey, and the arts to name a few. Engelbrecht and wife, Lena have two little girls, aged three and five. And while it’s still too soon to know if they represent another generation at West End Autobody, “They love to play with cars,” Engelbrecht says with a laugh. “So who knows? Maybe one day, right?” This Saturday September 29th will be an open house BBQ at Westend, celebrating it’s 60 years of business.

In what was described as a cross between a blind date and speed dating, UFV benefactors and the recipients of their generosity got together recently to meet, greet, thank, and celebrate philanthropy. The university held its annual Changing Lives awards ceremony at the Ramada Inn recently. The casual meet-and-greet format groups donors and recipients together, giving donors the chance to see who their scholarship or bursary benefits and students the opportunity to say thanks. “I hope that you get the chance to meet the student you’ve helped tonight,” said UFV executive director of advancement services Madeleine Hardin. “But if you don’t, just grab any student and chat… their stories are all wonderful.” Hardin related how criminology student Nikki Dionne had wowed the crowd at a University Women’s Club meeting earlier that week by sharing her story of how a scholarship had helped her. “It meant the difference between working 50 hours a week and 30 hours a week,” said Hardin. “Your gifts help our students in profound ways. We do change lives at UFV, and your generosity helps us to do so.” President Mark Evered also addressed the gathering, saying that the support of community partners helped UFV evolve from the “college that could” to the “university that did.”

“I see passion, commitment, and talent in this room. I also see our future. Together we are truly changing lives and building communities.” Two students illustrated how important the support of the university and its donors had been to them.

UFV basketball star Nicole Wierks of Chilliwack, who is majoring in biology, minoring in kinesiology, and hoping to attend medical school, recalled

the “sticker shock” of finding out that one textbook could cost $200. “It’s difficult to be successful without the support of people who

want you to be,” she said. “Not just family and friends, but donors too. You are investing in the growth and betterment of our community, Continued: UFV/ p28

But, as he related at the ceremony, he almost didn’t make it through university. “I had my choice of universities when I graduated high school and went off to one of the larger ones. But I tripped on the threshold, and was given a swift kick back out. UFV gave me a second chance. There will always be a place in my heart for this university and what it stands for. UFV has an amazing culture of being real. You’ll find real human beings here, with real problems, who find the courage to stand out on a limb and rise above them. It truly is the best university in Canada. Through your generosity, please know that you are deeply and profoundly changing lives, mine included.” Satwinder Bains, the director of the Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies and a key player in the fundraising campaign that launched the centre, spoke from the donor’s perspective. “When we were fundraising for our centre, we knocked on doors the old-fashioned way with a theme of ‘higher education for a future generation.’ It was based on a dream, and our donors’ dream was that what they didn’t know, their children would know. While money talks, philanthropy has an echo.”

Chiefs doubled up by Victoria visitors Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Can too much time off be a bad thing? If we were farther into the 201213 BCHL season, say January or February, Chilliwack Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl might say, ‘No, silly reporter. Stop saying such silly things.’ But early in the season, when injuries and fatigue aren’t such a factor, there’s a certain logic to it. The team is still coming together. They’re still trying to figure out the systems and what their teammates are doing, and the best way to do that is by facing live bullets. Practice is nice, but there’s no substitute for game speed. And so, minutes after a disappointing 4-2 home-ice loss to the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday night, Smyl was willing to entertain the notion that six-day layoffs and onegame weekends aren’t always a good thing. “I certainly think we had more passengers than warriors tonight, and it’s not something we want to have happening every night,” the coach acknowledged. “I thought the fact we hadn’t played in a while, the guys had forgotten the level of compete they need to be successful. It happens sometimes that you get rusty and you do things you wouldn’t normally do.” Smyl’s troops actually came flying out of the gate against the Grizzlies, tilting the ice in the first five minutes. They opened the scoring just 2:50 in on a power play goal by Josh Hansen. The Chilliwack kid benefitted from hard work by linemate Austin Plevy, whose aggressive forecheck created a turnover behind the net. Hansen nabbed the puck and beat Victoria keeper Michael Stiliadis on the wraparound for his third goal of the young season. Everything looked rosy at that point. “That’s the style we want to play,” Smyl said. “You want to be aggressive and get after it, and that was a nice play.” But for the remaining 55 minutes, the ice tilted in the other direction. “We came up with all kinds of jump, then we ran into a little adversity that we couldn’t fight through,” Smyl said. Victoria spent the rest of the first period peppering the Chiefs net with shots, 18 in all. Chilliwack netminder Mitch Gillam did what he could, making several big saves. His best came on a Grizzly power play. From the right wing boards, Victoria D-man Nolan DeJong fed a cross-ice pass to Gerry Fitzgerald, who leaned into a perfect one-

timer. Gillam took it away, darting post-to-post to smother the puck and preserve the 1-0 lead. The Grizzlies kept coming in the second period, and Chilliwack’s goaltender made another eye-popping save eight minutes into the middle frame. DeJong was again the playmaker, threading a pass through traffic to Chase Kaiser. Kaiser cut left to right across the top of the crease, and looked to have an easy goal on the backhand. But Gillam reached back with his glove, sweeping the puck off the goal-line. It took 25 shots, but Victoria finally found a way past the Gillam at 10:11. Fitzgerald pulled the trigger with a perfectly-placed shot that went under the goalie’s glove and just inside the left post. The Chiefs briefly regained the lead on a power play goal by Cooper Rush, with the big blueliner beating Stiliadis with a wrist shot from the point for his second of the year. But the Grizzlies had the last laugh in the second period. With Chilliwack’s Ben Israel

in the box for holding, Stefan Nicholishen got his stick on a DJ Jones point shot, tipping the puck past Gillam for his first of the year. Jones scored one of his own 2:19 into period three, and the Grizzlies had a lead they would not relinquish. That was pretty much it. The Chiefs were oddly hesitant to go to the front of the net, settling for shots from the outside. Whether it was the work of the Victoria D or a lack of willingness, they couldn’t get to those prime scoring spots. As a result, no more pucks

found their way past Stiliadis, who barely broke a sweat earning his third win in four starts. “Five on five, I thought we had a hard time maintaining pressure,” Smyl said. “They (Victoria) broke up a lot of plays and were able to clear the zone quite easily. We needed to be working smarter and better as a group.” Victoria’s Reid Jackman sealed Chilliwack’s fate with 30.5 seconds left, putting the puck into an empty net. If there was a positive to be gleaned, it was the performance of the power play, which went two for

four and looked dangerous every time. “I thought we had some good movement and chances, and I’ve liked our power play so far this season,” Smyl said. The three stars were Jones (first), Hansen (second) and Fitzgerald (third). The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Hansen. Announced attendance was 1,877 Chilliwack hosts the Powell River Kings Friday night at Prospera Centre with a 7 p.m. puck drop.

Johnson tops Toth for triathlon title Robert Johnson finished first overall at the Chilliwack Triathlon, held Sept. 9 at Cultus Lake. Johnson out-duelled fellow Chilliwackian Anthony Toth to take the title, finishing with a time of 1:53:09. Toth finished just over two minutes back at 1:55:45.

They were the clear trend setters in the field. Richmond’s James Mutter finished third, but he was well back with a time of 2:06:37. The next highest Chilliwack competitor was Angela Froese. She was the second fastest woman in the field, clocking in at 2:18:56.

Victoria’s Brittany Cooper was the fastest female with a time of 2:13:25. One hundred and forty eight competitors appeared on the final results sheet, which can be found online at www.raceheadquar ters.com/results/2012/ multi/CultusLake2012Olympic. html

Attack set back by Synergy The Chilliwack Attack suffered a 2-1 loss on Sunday to the WCAGFC Synergy in gold division women’s soccer. The Pitt Meadows visitors opened the scoring 16 minutes into the game, but Andrea Feaver knotted things at 1-1 with a long shot that eluded the Synergy keeper.

The game was tied at halftime, but the Synergy surged ahead 10 minutes into the second half.

Chilliwack had several good scoring chances but came away empty. Kelly Willmets and Janelle Cavanaugh reg-

istered strong games for the home side. Chilliwack now travels to North Delta for a Friday night game.

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013.

Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

who made several stellar stops to earn his first clean sheet of the year. The match was clinched when fourth year midfielder Sasa Plavsic (Coquitlam) collected a pass from Cole Almond (Maple Ridge) and punched it in for his first goal of the season. Third-year defender Ravi Singh (Abbotsford) was named UFV’s player of the game for his role in helping keep

Calgary in check. “This was a great team effort today, a rewarding victory,” said UFV head coach Alan Errington. The Cascades improve their conference record to 1-2-1 for four points while the Dinos fell to 1-4-1. UFV returns home to host Saskatchewan and Alberta this weekend at Exhibition Stadium in Chilliwack.

Cascades tie Calgary The University of the Fraser Valley women’s soccer team capped off their Alberta road swing Sunday, battling the University of Calgary Dinos to a 2-2 draw. The Cascades started slow in this one, but picked up the pace late in the first half. Third-year midfielder Carly Neeson (Maple Ridge) led the charge, setting up UFV’s first goal. With seven minutes remaining in the first half, Neeson found Surrey native Danica Kump unchecked in front of the Dino net. Kump made no mistake, burying the ball behind Calgary keeper Kristen Barton. The Cascades doubled their lead four minutes later, with Kump converting another Neeson feed. The Dinos cut into

the lead midway through the second half, with Maddie Lee setting up Amy Hockings for a rocket that evaded UFV keeper Kayla Klim (Burnaby). With nine minutes remaining, Lee set up Lauren Vernon for the equalizer. “I am very proud of our young team because we earned four of the possible six points on the trip,” said UFV coach Rob Giesbrecht. The Cascades opened the road trip Saturday with a 2-1 win in Lethbridge, and their overall record now sits at 3-1-1. The Dinos slipped to 0-3-3. The Cascades host the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg, this weekend at Exhibition Stadium in Chilliwack. See ufv.ca/athletics.

Grizzlies blanked in regular season opener The GW Graham Grizzlies junior varsity fotoball team has a new rallying cry as they prepare for their Thursday night home opener. Find your Batman! It’s a phrase that first emerged on the bus trip to Mission, where the Grizzlies lost their season opener 24-0 last Wednesday. Head coach Laurie Smith was describing one of GWG’s Grade 8 players, Miguel Wood. “Miguel Wood is an excitable young guy who plays middle linebacker, and at a scrimmage on Tuesday he kept running up to the line, showing blitz and yelling, ‘I’m Batman! I’m Batman!” Smith explained. “When he got back to the sidelines I asked him, ‘Miguel. What are you doing?’ And he said, ‘Coach. I’m getting in their heads.’ And he did.” Wood played fast, physical and just a little bit crazy. Because of his antics, GWG’s rattled opponents couldn’t even get the snap from center to quarterback right. The Grade 8’s dominated. When the junior var-

sity squad faced the No. 2 ranked Mission Roadrunners, Smith was looking for the same passion and physicality from his older players. He didn’t get it. There were flashes, included some bonerattling knocks from linebacker Kirkland Kennedy. But overall, Smith’s Grizzlies played tentative football. “We need to find someone to lead with that type of excitement and enthusiasm, and I know we have the guys who can do it,” Smith said afterwards. “Maybe building things up the way we have has been difficult for them. They haven’t loosened up and played football yet. Maybe we just need to relax and enjoy the game.” Smith knew his team would be in tough against Mission, and the Roadrunners led 8-0 less than a minute in. Inderprett Herr took the opening kickoff well into GWG territory, and on the first offensive play from scrimmage, Herr reeled in a touchdown pass from Mission quarterback Jesse Walker. Walker was a oneman wrecking crew for the Roadrunners. No. 5 in green played a Michael Vick-style game, inflicting a ton of damage with his legs while doing just enough with his arm. Walker scored the

Signs of improvement The Chilliwack Huskers played their best game of the 2012 BC Football Conference season Saturday, but it wasn’t enough in a 33-3 loss to the visiting Westshore Rebels. Facing an offence that had put up 48 and 58 points in two previous games, the Chilliwack D did well to limit the damage. Rebels running back Greg Morris topped 100 yards (145) and had two touchdowns, but he was far more dominant in the two previous meetings. Victoria quarterbacks Mark Black and Jesse Herman combined to go 12 of 18 for 145 yards through the air. Fikreiwnet Yitna had three grabs for 77 yards and Eric Eggleston had

five for 57. They had one TD apiece. Jerry Sidhu led the Husker defence with seven tackles. The Husker offence actually moved the ball in this one, generating 180 yards of net offence. Most of the yardage came via the right arm of quarterback Brady Churly, who completed 15 of 33 passes for 151 yards. Josh Hayden led the pass catchers with six grabs and 67 yards. James Archer caught five balls for 50. Chilliwack’s ground game remained nonexistent, posting just 29 yards on 16 carries. Chilliwack is on the road this weekend, facing Kamloops.

second Mission touchdown, rolling right and bowling across from the five yard line. Whenver Mission needed a third down conversion, it was Walker making it happen. GWG quar terback Jordan Breuker was almost his equal. Running the spreadoption offence, the 14-year-old pivot had some big runs and made Mission defend-

ers pay the price to tackle him. Breuker got some breathers handing off to power backs Billy Hansen and Tristan Davis. GWG was missing a key part of the running game, with starting tailback Ryan Connelly sidelined by injury. That might have made a huge difference late in the game. GWG trailed 16-0 in the fourth quarter,

but had the ball fourthand-two at the Mission seven yard line. The offence was stuffed on the fourth down gamble, and the Roadrunners quickly added to their lead on a Joeda Cannon touchdown run. Had the Grizzlies converted and put the ball in the endzone, it might have been a onescore game. Who knows what might’ve happened.

But if nothing else, seeing his Grizzlies hang with a powerhouse team until late in the game had to give Smith some hope. “Those same guys we lost to were the same guys who played with the Mission minor football program, and we beat them badly every time we played them,” said Smith, who has a provincial title on his resume. “It’s not like they took a magic

potion, and I don’t think junior varsity is 10 steps up from bantam football.” The Grizzlies face the Robert Bateman Timber wolves Thursday night (6 p.m.) at Exhibition Stadium, with a number of pre-game festivities beforehand. Chilliwack football legend Rick Klassen will handle the pre-game coin toss. Get info online at grahamfootball.ca.

Upon retirement they built a house in Vernon, BC and joined the church family at Trinity United. George was predeceased by his wife and partner Bea in 2001 and is survived by his sister Eleanor (Nell) Rutley of Chilliwack, and numerous nieces and nephews in BC and the prairies.
