Chilliwack should have a say in Cultus Lake Park: officials

A petition to alter the rules about who can vote in Cultus Lake Park Board elections received 925 signatures. The longstanding voting structure has created an unfair situation in Cultus Lake Park for residents, stated Sue Lister. She and husband Gary Lister have been circulating the petition over the past two weeks. The way it works now, two of the seven-member board are elected by Cultus Lake residents, with the other five commissioners voted in by Chilliwack residents. The petition seeks to have the Cultus Lake Park Act amended to make it only Cultus Lakers who can elect park board commissioners. It also requests that the total number of elected commissioners be reduced from seven to five. But the management and administration of the Cultus Lake Park Board isn’t a one way street, cautioned board chair Sacha Peter. He was reacting to the demand by the petitioners that the province make it only Cultus Lake residents who can vote for park board commissioners. “On its face, it seems like a onesided transaction; all upside and no downside,” he said. “But we need to take into consideration the fact that the lands of Cultus Lake Park have the name of ‘City of Chilliwack’ on title.” In exchange for the park land that Chilliwack gave to the Cultus Lake Park Board in trust, the people, the electorate of Chilliwack in other words, get to elect a sizable proportion of the park board every three years.

Home owner given a month to clean up Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
City officials have finally dealt with a severe hoarding situation involving an elderly home owner near downtown Chilliwack. Unsightly as well as unsafe conditions were cited in a city staff report about the ongoing challenges at 46493 Mayfair Avenue. Some at city hall are hoping the situation becomes a catalyst of sorts that would see a dedicated task force created to tackle growing numbers of hoarding cases in Chilliwack. “The City is doing everything in our power to deal with this,”
said Mayor Sharon Gaetz recently, posting on a local Facebook page. Complaints have come in about rats nesting in the piled garbage, and there were unlicensed vehicles and overgrown bushes displayed in staff report photos. The property owner is now required to clean up the mess, or the city will take action, and the costs will be added to the tax bill. Council passed a remedial order requiring the removal of garbage and debris from around the exterior of the dilapidated home, and another for the interior to enforce city bylaws and get help for the occupants. The property in question, with
its overgrown bushes, weeds, and garbage, has been declared a nuisance, and said to be creating a health and safety risk to the occupants and their neighbours. Council moved ahead July 16 on the file, approving a ‘Request for Remedial Action’ under Section 72 of the Community Charter. If the owner wants to contest the order, the issue will go to a show cause hearing, which is like the city’s version of court. The owner was given 30 days to appeal. Coun. Chuck Stam asked at the council meeting about the possibility of asking for specialized help from health and social service experts, required when

dealing with mental health issues as mitigating factors. The matter was also referred to the public safety committee. Although a two-person Hoarding Response Team is in place serving those in the Vancouver area, there is no similar service available for Chilliwack. The staff report documented how all the ongoing and extensive efforts to gain voluntary compliance from the aged home owner have ultimately failed. As conditions on the property continue to deteriorate, bylaw enforcement staff have fielded several complaints. Continued: CITY/ p12

Fire sends one man to hospital One person was air-lifted to hospital after escaping a house fire Sunday morning. Firefighters were called out at 8 a.m. to a singlefamily home in the 45000-block of Trethewey Avenue. Smoke and fire were visible when they arrived, and they were told there was still someone inside. Firefighters quickly broke in, got the man out and treated him at the scene before sending him to the hospital. It took 20 firefighters from two halls to eventually extinguish the blaze. They were at it for nearly three hours, and they weren’t able to save the house from heavy fire and smoke damage. The fire started in the kitchen and an investigation has determined it to be accidental.

Thinking Differently Yields Rewards Market Commentary (July 11, 2013) 7/13h LH18
By Murray Leith, Odlum Brown Vice President and Director, Investment Research
Investment strategists are busy promoting the virtues of U.S. equities and warning that both the Canadian economy and stock market will struggle due to weaker economic growth in China. We agree with these common themes, and believe that U.S. stocks will outshine Canadian equities for several years. Still, it is often better to think differently and be ahead of the crowd. We have been talking about today’s popular themes for some time.

In a speech delivered in early 2011 titled “Back to the Past to Learn *As of July 11, 2013. From Stories That Were Oversold” we outlined the reasons to favour U.S. stocks. Our contrarian perspective has yielded pleasing rewards. Since the end of 2010, U.S. stocks have produced a total return of close to 50 per cent versus zero return from Canadian stocks. Over the same period, the Odlum Brown Model Portfolio1 has appreciated by about 40 per cent, due to significant positions in a number of high quality U.S. companies and limited exposure to resource stocks.

VICTORIA – People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Thursday. Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Measurement Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates, the ministry said in a statement. The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with BC Hydro customers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and status via radio signals.

Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having the meter read manually. Bennett said the cost of meter reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted. The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher, because it will require a separate system to manually record and bill for power consumption, Bennett said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission before being implemented. The opt-out provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial

deadline to install smart meters, Horgan said. BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to customer request, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have a functioning smart meter. Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call. Bennett said mechanical meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it transmits or not. “When somebody’s analog meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no analog meters to reinstall,” Bennett said. “You can’t buy them anywhere.”

Crash leaves scars that will take time to heal
There is no question that the crash at Harrison Hot Springs recently was a traumatic event to witness. The sight of three people, including a child, being run down by a vehicle is one that will likely live on in the minds of the many witnesses forever. Just as the victims will need time to recover, so will those who saw the crash unfold before their eyes. Within hours, there were stories being shared with friends and strangers — in the streets, in restaurants, on the beach and even online. Some said they were left feeling helpless, and others were visibly upset and crying. There were many who chose not to get involved, deciding quite rightly that a crowd around an accident scene helps nobody, and that they did not wish to witness whatever horrors were awaiting. There are also reports of witnesses who became hostile. Some were angry with photographers trying to take capture the news as it happened, and others were furious with the driver of the SUV. That man was arrested on scene, and most who were on scene have suggested there was something impairing him. But this is Canada, after all, and we have a justice system that needs to slowly churn its wheels. So only time will tell what will come of this horrible scene. This newspaper will be following this story as the accused faces his charge of impaired driving. In the meantime, those who witnessed the accident could have a long road ahead as they try to forget what they saw. Hopefully, though, not before they are asked to recall the event to help Madame Justice close the case. ~ Black Press

Royal baby will be third in line to the throne Due dates are elusive things when it comes to babies. As the Great Kate Wait dragged on in London and bored media reporters clung to their 100 plus ladders outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital, the Duchess of Cambridge went to her mom and dad’s house last week in Buckleberry to sit out the last days of her pregnancy in some level of seclusion. Royal births have always been a media message of note, especially when the baby bumps the line of succession. The Queen was born in 1926 by caesarean section in her maternal grandparents’ house in London where a plaque marks the spot at 17 Bruton Street. Her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, was born on a kitchen table in a villa in Corfu in 1921. When Prince Charles was

born, the water in Trafalgar Square was coloured blue. Even two weeks later, the Queen still couldn’t believe she had a baby of her own. Her ancestors, though, weren’t quite so appreciative of the patter of little feet. When King Henr y VIII was born, he had two Margaret of ficial cradle rockers and a wet EVANS nurse. Likely his mom Elizabeth of York didn’t care for that stuff. He had a daughter in 1533 with Anne Boleyn and, despite all odds, she became the well-educated Queen Elizabeth 1 who could speak 11 languages. Her christening, which Henry didn’t attend, was quite the party. In 2007 her 500-year-old
christening gown was rediscovered in the back of a cupboard in Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire. I guess they don’t do clear-outs too often. Even though Queen Victoria had nine children, she sure wasn’t doe-eyed over newborns. No surprise that she didn’t take time out for breast feeding. Princess Diana was 16 hours in labour with William, craved bacon sandwiches, refused pain killers and sucked on ice cubes to keep hydrated. She re-wrote the royal baby-raising book and took Wills and Harry on royal tours, ate at McDonald’s, and exposed them to some of the more challenging sides of life, a grounding that sparked their commitment to helping others through their Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and
Prince Harry. The birth of Will and Kate’s baby will be an event calculated to bolster Britain’s economy with union jack bibs, booties, and baby books for the trinket crowd. Then there’s stuff like baby furniture and strollers. The $380 million baby bump will uncork itself with an estimated three million bottles of champagne and sparkling wine as pub goers raise glasses. Every little outfit the royals dress their child in will spark a fashion frenzy. Kate is already a fashion statement and knock-offs of what she wears in public fly off the shelves of high street stores in seconds. Their wedding two years ago poured 500 million pounds into the U.K. economy generated by tourism, merchandise, and pub sales. No surprise there The Brits have a long track record of cel-

ebrating at the local pub and a new royal is a perfect excuse to toast it with a pint or two. Even the Royals themselves are cashing in. Prince Charles is selling handmade baby shoes through his shop on his Highgrove estate; Kate’s parents are selling a range of baby goods through their online party goods website. Prince or princess, this baby will be third in line to the throne, a ground shifting change from tradition when only males had succession rights and, in their absence, females took the crown. But a bill to change the centuriesold law was fast-tracked through Parliament this spring. The long awaited birth, when it finally comes, will be announced on a sheet of paper attached to a simple easel.

Gravel removal ‘a win-win’ cubic meters of gravel from an inexhaustible supply on the Valley riverbed from Hope to Chilliwack. Thus each year the riverbed rises about four cenitmetres which does not seem like a lot, but since the last serious flood in 1948 the river has effectively risen two metres. It behooves me to suggest that if three or four of million cubic metres of gravel a year is not removed from the bars, a time will come when no amount of diking will suffice.

Family grateful for the kindness of strangers My family and I need to express our gratitude to some amazing people. The problem is that we do not know who they are. On Friday, July 5 I lost my wallet at Superstore. But a kind soul handed my wallet into the store, with all of the money still inside. On Sunday, July 7 our family was at the Sunnyside Campground on Cultus Lake with some friends. In that one
moment when we turned away from the water, our four and half year old daughter fell off of her floatie in water that was too deep for her. A woman (an angel!) who was swimming nearby scooped up our daughter and saved her. Our family is so very grateful to both of these amazing people.

in contrast to gravel removal which is a win-win solution. The contractors can sell the material to cover the cost of the extraction. We only have to look at the catastrophic levee failures in China, which seem to be a bi-annual event, to see that once a dike is breached it becomes an impossible problem as the in-rushing water rips more and more material from the dike.Â

In response to Mr. Astie’s letter to The Progress on Thursday July 11 regarding diking in the Fraser Valley, I have some cogent responses. Mr. Astie is of the opinion that raising the dikes to prevent further flooding is a rational approach to prevent a catastrophic flood at some point in the future. While I agree that the dikes are in need of upgrading in many places, the removal of gravel should not be discounted. Each year the Fraser River dumps about 800,000

Careful what you wish for, officials tell Cultus Lake petitioners Chilliwack doesn’t directly support Cultus Lake Park financially, they still have a relationship. “It started in 1932 when they contributed the land,” he said. The mayor of Chilliwack agreed about the need to give Chilliwack its say. “It is a very complex issue and the legislation ties the ownership of the land to the makeup of the board,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz, in an emailed statement. “As the land is owned by the residents of Chilliwack, it is their right to have a say in who runs the Park. I would think any legislation that changes the election of commissioners should also address the tenure of the land.” The other risk, Peter stated not being addressed by petitioners, is if the composition changes to five commissioners elected by lake residents exclusively, “it would likely trigger consultation requirements by local First Nations over the lands of Cultus Lake Park. That would result in a costly and complex process, and greatly increase the risk for leaseholders to see an undesirable outcome for them.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno
City seeks solutions to hoarders
CITY from Front
“Namely, the overgrown brushes and garbage are now attracting and providing shelter for vermin which is causing considerable concerns as to the health and safety of those living in the neighborhood and for the elderly property owner and her son,” reads the report. The registered owner will be provided with the opportunity to make representation to Council to plea for additional time to complete the remedial action or for reconsideration of the remedial action. Coun. Stam said they were forced to “turn up the heat” on agencies like Fraser Health to provide assistance for cases like this. “This is a public safety issue,” he said Monday. A specialized team to deal with hoarders in Chilliwack on a part-time basis would be ideal, since they’ve notice an increase in the awareness of, and of hoarding cases themselves, said Stam. “We’re not trying to create a different level of bureaucracy with this, but we need some help to get a fully triangulated solution, and provide sanity and security for the neighbours and owners alike.”

Samantha Brown is part of a milk sharing program because she cannot produce breast milk for her seven-month-old daughter, Kianna. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Milk sharing helps babies grow strong Alina Konevski The Progress
When young Chilliwack mom Samantha Brown gave birth seven months ago, she developed a uterus infection, had to be induced into a coma, and was hospitalized for two weeks. She couldn’t produce breast milk after that. For the first few months of daughter Kianna’s life, Brown fed her formula. But Kianna developed an intolerance for it. Ever since, Brown has been on the hunt for breast milk. She frequently posts on a Facebook group called “Human Milk 4 Human Babies,” requesting donations from moms in the Lower Mainland. The group is part of a global mom-to-mom movement of milk sharing. A mom who has an oversupply of milk will fill up as many bottles as she can, and give them for free to another mom who can’t produce milk. This keeps babies feeding on highly nutritious natural milk,
which acts as a “primer” for babies. “It’s like a thick coat of latex paint that coats the baby’s gut, and makes it less permeable to disease organisms, bacteria, viruses,” said Sidney Harper, project development nurse for the Baby Friendly Initiative at Fraser Health. This makes the child stronger in the long run, and less prone to illness. Fraser Health does not recommend using formula, except when breast milk is not available. “We know that giving these babies donor milk instead of formula will actually be life-saving,” said Harper. But for moms who can’t breastfeed, regulated donor milk is usually not freely available because of very low supply at the government milk bank, B.C. Women’s Milk Bank. The milk is reserved for the most vulnerable newborns, and only provided for the first few days of life. This year, the bank has distrib-
uted 1,400 ounces in Chilliwack to date, thanks to donations from depots across the province, include one locally. Last year, it was only 400 ounces. The year before, because of media attention, the bank distributed 4,000 ounces. Another option for a mom in Brown’s situation is milk sharing, but supply is also low among the social networks. Brown received donations from about three different women, but all of it added up to only a couple of weeks worth of food for baby Kianna. “There’s not a lot of people donating,” she said. Occasionally, milk is available for purchase from the government bank, at a cost of $1.25 per ounce. That’s a high cost when Kianna is at the point where she needs 24-30 ounces daily. A while back, Brown visited a milk bank in Oak Harbour, Washington, where she purchased several months’ worth of breast milk at one-fifth the B.C. price.
As that supply runs low, Brown is again requesting donations on Facebook. Kianna is only seven months old, and will need breast milk for a few months longer. The government recommendation is that moms breastfeed exclusively for a minimum of six months. But the big difference between an informal network and a regulated milk bank are the health risks. Fraser Health sends all donated milk to a testing facility to check for diseases, such as HIV and syphilis, and the milk gets pasteurized before it is released. “We would never want to share unpasteurized milk, nor milk that hasn’t been screened,” said Harper. “It would be like giving unscreened blood.” Brown ensures that her baby drinks safe milk by checking the health history certificate of any mom from whom she accepts milk, a document provided at hospitals to moms who recently had a child.
“That’s the only way I’ll take milk from them,” said Brown. Milk sharing is not a new idea. People have been doing it through parenting groups, and private social networks, probably for as long as moms have given birth. With social media, there is surge in milk sharing as it becomes easier for people to connect. The B.C. chapter of Human Milk 4 Human Babies launched in September 2010, and has no way to track how many moms have connected, or how much milk they have exchanged. The group does not screen moms on the site, but advocates for informed milk sharing. This includes educating about safety techniques, such as flash pasteurization at home. Volunteer page administrator Alicia Hurd has not heard of a case of someone becoming ill as a result of an exchange through the Facebook group. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

Getting in tune with Long & McQuade Abbotsford or Langley, which is a huge pain for everybody. Now we can facilitate really everything through the store,” said Fry. And it isn’t just professionals renting instruments in Chilliwack. They’re five-yearolds who are just starting out, as well as people who have been playing for fifty years. Chilliwack’s musical instruments scene is hanging
strong, despite the fact that fewer venues are making space for local artists than before. “There’s definitely a lot of bands, and not enough places to play. We need more venues,” said Fry. The local music store has grown quickly ever since Toronto-based Long & McQuade, Canada’s largest chain of musical instru-
ment retailers, purchased Toews Music and Sewing in 2008. Toews had been in Chilliwack since the 1950s, selling instruments on a smaller scale. Now, Long & McQuade stocks the full range of guitars, keyboards, drums, amps, and anything else that a music lover might need. With the rentals, locals have access to instruments right in their hometown.

The new location, at 45860 Cheam Avenue, has more staff and is four times the size of the previous one, which was across from Cottonwood Mall. The shop has made full use of the larger space by filling the back room with
instruments and gear to be rented out, which includes “pretty much everything” from drum kits, to digital pianos, to band instruments, to amplifiers. Long & McQuade in Chilliwack used to have to send customers to their other stores on a daily basis for rentals, but no more. “For a bunch of stuff, we’d have to send them out to

Ryan will run the Bedroom Gallery while his father oversees J. Ballam Furniture, the original location just up the street. “My father passed away three years ago, but I know he’d be just thrilled to see Ryan working here, where he started as a teenager,” Jim said. The new location allows the Ballams to expand their categories. Where they were only able to offer three or four sets in their other location, here the bedroom is king.

Chilliwack, The Great Outside, has everything you need for a great staycation, from the excitement of water sports or paintball to enjoying a good family movie or theatre production. Online dictionaries offer a range of definitions for ‘staycation’ that all point to the same basic principles of spending a vacation at or near home, participating in leisure activities or visiting local attractions. Staycations often include time spent with friends or family, not to mention increased outings to local shops and dining establishments. Chilliwack is made up of small communities, each with their own identity, though many locals do little to experience their individual qualities and unique businesses for themselves. Greendale is home to a number of unique agricultural tourism businesses, craft shops and art studios, while Yarrow offers a vibrant mix of older and newer businesses with an eclectic twist. Rosedale has heritage buildings dating back to before the turn of the last century, not to mention spectacular Minter Gardens, which will be closing in a few months. While you’re there, Bridal Falls offers some great recreation activities as well. Planning a day trip to any of these smaller communities could be as easy as packing the family into the vehicle and driving. An effective staycation involves a combination of leisure, recreation and entertainment. Perhaps a day of water sports at Cultus Lake followed by some

local dining, wrapping things up with an evening walk on the beach. The next day could consist of a round of golf, an afternoon stroll through the boutique shops in downtown Chilliwack, capping it off with a relaxing dinner and a late show at the theatre. Throw in some hikes, fishing, local sporting events, and maybe even a spa day and you’ve got yourself a nice little holiday close to home. Don’t forget about the many community events Chilliwack has to offer. Party in the Park runs every Friday night until August 23, the Chilliwack Fair is August 9-11, and Chilliwack Flight Fest is August 17&18. The City of Chilliwack’s website, www. chilliwack.com, offers information on events and leisure activities, and be sure to check out www. tourismchilliwack.com for other great staycation ideas.

Red River winners Five GW Graham football players helped Team BC win its first ever U-16 inter-provincial tournament with a win at the Red River Cup tournament. The tourney was held July 6-13 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The local lads captured the title with a thrilling 34-21 win over Winnipeg West. Linebacker Jordon Breuker, offensive lineman Braydon Winger, defensive lineman Elijah Schellenberg, running back Billy
Hanson and receiver Emerson Smith played key roles for Team BC. Their crew struggled to find consistency through four round-robin games. They lost 21-16 to Winnipeg West in their opener, then blanked Saskatchewan North 21-0 in game two. They beat Winnipeg East 21-14 in game three, then lost 14-0 to Saskatchewan South to finish 2-2. In the final, Team BC built up a 27 point first half lead, then hung on for the win. The Grizzly five will join their teammates for the start of fall camp Aug. 19, with over 100 Grade 8, junior varsity and varsity players suiting up. The team’s next live action will be an exhibition game in
Colton, Oregon on Aug. 31. ● The GW Graham varsity and junior varsity football teams were in Oregon last week, joining 17 other high school teams at the Camp Rilea US Army base. The Grizzlies went through four days of practices and scrimmages against tough American competition. In their off time, they stayed in the army barracks and ate in the mess hall. They capped off the camp with games against Orcas Island (Washington State) and Salem Academy (Oregon). The Grizzlies lost the junior varsity game 12-0 and tied the varsity match 6-6.

Julia Cristea (No. 13) and Anya Soon-Kozak (No. 11) guide go-karts around the track last Thursday, taking part in a three-day kartSTART program at Chilliwack’s Greg Moore Raceway. Held Tuesday through Thursday and co-sponsored by Toyota Canada and Subway Canada, the event introduced go-kart driving to young riders 18-and-under. Instructors focused less on racing and more on safe operation of the vehicles, hoping the experience will make their students better drivers when they transition to larger vehicles on regular roads.

Lacrosse stars making move to Empire State Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
Two Chilliwack lacrosse stars are heading to New York State this fall, signing on with NCAA programs. Ashley Heisler committed to Buffalo-based Canisius College shortly after Easter. Just last week, Tanner Olsen got some good news of his own, officially signing on with the Dominican College Chargers. He’ll live and study in Orangeburg, just a 17 mile hop from downtown New York City. “It’s really cool and it’s actually been a pretty crazy process,” the Sardis secondary school grad said. “I think it’s going to be an amazing
thing to do, especially in the United States where sports are so much bigger.” Olsen has been playing lacrosse since he was four years old, rising through the ranks of the Chilliwack Mustangs program. In 2007 he played for Team BC at naionals, winning gold in Whitby, Ontario. In 2010 he won gold at the BC Summer Games, and most recently, he played for the junior Langley Thunder. His lacrosse resume sparkles, but until recently, he didn’t think it was going to be good enough to pay for school. “I visited Syracuse University last January, auditioning for a music scholar-
ship,” said Olsen, who was part of the Sardis drum line and concert band. “It was a really cool process, but it didn’t work out in the end, and I’d kind of given up on it. I was going to go to TRU (Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops) until all of this came together.” The Dominican College opportunity came out of the blue, through a contact in Langley. There’s no doubt the 18-year-old’s lacrosse skills were good enough, but Olsen had to jump through academic hoops aplenty to make it happen. “I had to fill out a player application for the lacrosse team, then a general admis-
sions application,” he said. “I had to send high school transcripts and SATs, and then I had to wait.” And wait. And wait. Finally, acceptance, and the knowledge that he’ll have, at minimum, his tuition paid for. That takes about $24,000 worth of financial worries off his plate, which makes the process well worth the wait. “I’m so happy for Tanner,” said Heisler, a good friend and fellow Sardis grad. “I’ve been friends with him since we were both little, and I’m so happy he’s able to go there.” Heisler, also 18 years old, is spending the summer pre-
paring for her own adventure. The Canisius College Griffins are an NCAA womens’ lacrosse powerhouse. “They’ve won their conference the last three years and I expect a really huge jump from what I’ve been doing to what I will be doing,” Heisler said. A standout at every level she’s played at, the Chilliwack teen will find herself in unfamiliar territory, having to prove herself on a veteran talent-laden squad. “I think it’ll actually be nice to be around people who are a lot better than me,” she said. “I’ll be able to learn a lot from them.
I’m going to have to work really hard to stay fit and keep pace with the other freshmen.” Olsen and Heisler will face the same challenge off the field, leaving home for the first time. “I think it will be difficult, not easy at all,” Heisler reasoned. “But I’m fortunate to have family (grandparents) in southern Ontario, and I think I’ll be so busy most of the time that I won’t have time to worry about it.” For info on the Canisius College program, see gogriffs.com. For info on the Dominican College program, see chargerathletics.com/spor ts/ mlax/index

Sports Huskers lose to Langley in exhibition action The Valley Huskers saw their first live action of 2013, hosting the Langley Rams Saturday night in exhibition action at Townsend Park. The home team lost 28-6 to the defending Cullen Cup champions, getting their points on a pair of field goals by Dan Erickson and Leiland Kelodanski. Huskers head coach Tyson St. James was impressed with his team’s effort. “The team is looking good and I am very happy with their ability to stop the Rams from scoring in the second half,” he said. “The team is definitely ready for the start of the regular season.” The Huskers get rolling for real this Saturday, visiting the Okanagan Sun in a BC Football Conference clash at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl. The Husker home opener is Aug. 3 versus the Kamloops Broncos, with a 1 p.m. start at Townsend Park. The Huskers will be using that field until mid-September, with
Chilliwack’s Ty Derayos bulls through a Langley tackler during preseason action Saturday night. YVONNE CHURLY PHOTO

She was born in Ponteix, Saskatchewan on Nov 29, 1914 to Emile and Valerie Proust, and married Guy Reynaud on Aug 7, 1939 in Reynaud, Saskatchewan. They farmed near Reynaud until 1945 when they moved to Langley, BC with their 2 daughters Annette and Yvonne. They then lived in Surrey, and later North Vancouver where they ran a business for 11 years. They retired back in Surrey until 2002 to live with Annette. Mum’s angel in life was Lucille to whom she devoted 50 years of her life. Her passion was being a homemaker, sewing and knitting slippers. She leaves to mourn her children Annette and husband Bruce, Yvonne, Adrian (Sonny) and wife Edna; her grandchildren Mark (Joanne), Daniel, Philip (Angelica), Joanna (Paul), Douglas (Melody), Gordan (Margarite), Stacy (Brad), Michael, Martin, Misty, Daniel; Great grandchildren Ryan, Christopher, Sarah, Marcella, Aidan, Christen, Rebecca, Scott, Matthew. She was also survived by 3 sisters, many nieces and nephews and a lot of good and longtime friends. She was predeceased by her husband Guy in 1990, son Martin in 1984, daughter Lucille in 2008, son-in-law Neil in 2001 and babies Maurice and Adelle. Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, July 27th at 11:00 a.m. in Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Avenue, Chilliwack with burial to follow at Valley View Memorial Gardens, 14644 - 72nd Ave., Surrey at 1:30pm. Thank-you to the best health care workers ever. Paramedic attendees, E.R. Staff, staff on 3 North, 5 North, and all who made mom’s final days comfortable in the Path unit. Most of all, thanks to Dr. Ralph Jones, Dr. Rose and his staff for all the excellent care. Love to all of you and God Bless. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawnmtcheam.ca.
