Boosting Chilliwack’s voter turnout in the next municipal election is the aim of an interactive website recently launched by the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board.

The initiative may be the first by a real estate organization in B.C.

Chilliwack ranked ninth from the bot-tom of the list of B.C. municipalities for voter turnout in the last municipal elec-tion held in November, 2008.

Mark Andersen, president of the real estate board and a former city council-lor, said in light of that dismal record, the board decided to launch a website instead of holding an all-candidates meet-

ing like other community organizations.The website at www.thevalleyvotes.

ca will feature “man-on-the-street” inter-views asking Chilliwack people for their views on local issues, and give election candidates a platform to present their positions to voters.

A vote in municipal elections may be the most important ballot a resident can cast, although federal and provincial elec-tions get the lion’s share of media and public attention.

“Many people are not aware of how much power the municipal government has on out tax dollars,” Andersen said.

Local councils also decide everything from how much noise you can make at night to approving highrise develop-ments next door to your dream home.

Only 12,633 ballots were cast in the last municipal election in 2008, and a paltry 7,406 in 2005 - although there were no challengers for the mayor’s seat that year, which usually draws more voters to the polls.

Municipal elections in B.C. are held on the same date every three years.

This year, the election date is Nov. 19, and several candidates have already announced their intention to run for one of the six seats on Chilliwack city council.

Municipal elections in B.C. include voting for school board trustees, Fraser Valley Regional District directors and Cultus Lake park commissioners.

Senior charged after slow police chaseRobert FreemanThe Progress

Chilliwack resident Paul Murray couldn’t believe his eyes.

First, there was the sight in his rearview mirror of a car racing up behind him as he waited patiently for a train to pass at the Young Street railway cross-ing Thursday night.

Then, after he was briefly knocked unconscious by the crash when his car was rammed by a vehicle that had been waiting behind him, it was the sight of the man being arrested by police.

“The guy was wearing a red miniskirt, cowboy boots, and he had blonde wig on,” Murray said.

“I thought, ‘What’s going on here?’” Murray told The Progress Friday.

“The cops said they were chasing this guy, and they knew him very well because this kind of thing had happened before,” he said.

“I wondered, in that case, why does this guy even have a driver’s licence?”

RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said she couldn’t confirm the 72-year-old suspect’s attire that night - it had nothing to do with the charges against him, she said - but the suspect had a driver’s licence “because the (past) offences he has committed were not driving-related.”

Police said they had tried to stop the vehicle at about 8 p.m. as they suspected the driver was impaired.

“The general duty police officer activated (his) emergency lights and sirens in an attempt to pull the vehicle over,” Hollingsworth said in a news release.

But the lone male suspect continued driving, doing the speed limit, along Fletcher Street to Nowell Street, then onto Cheam Avenue and even-tually south on Young Road towards the CN railway crossing.

“The suspect vehicle collided with a stopped vehicle waiting for the train,” Hollingsworth said, which caused it to then ram into Murray’s vehicle.

She said the suspect reversed his vehicle “in an effort to leave the scene,” ramming into one of the RCMP cruisers that had pulled up to block him in.

“This was a short, low-speed pursuit that thank-fully ended without any major injuries or major damage to vehicles or property,” Hollingsworth said.

NewsComplaints commission completes Knipstrom reviewRobert FreemanThe Progress

A final report by the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC) finds no fault with the way Chilliwack officers respond-ed to and eventually Tasered a Chilliwack man who died following the 2007 incident.

But the CPC criticized the 21 months it took the RCMP to respond to its Nov. 25, 2009 interim report.

“In the view of the CPC, that delay was neither appropriate nor necessary, nor has it been explained,” the authors of the

report said in a statement released last week.

“Historically, there have been lengthy delays in the provision of the (RCMP) Commissioner’s response to the CPC’s interim reports,” a CPC spokesman told The Progress.

“At the end of August, the Commission was awaiting 48 responses from the RCMP Commissioner, 31 of which had been outstanding for more than six months,” he said.

A coroner’s inquest in 2009 found that the use of Tasers had little, if anything, to do with the

death of Robert Knipstrom, who was in the throes of “excited delir-ium” brought on by the use of Ecstasy resulting in a psychotic state characterized by extra-ordi-nary strength and resistance to pain.

Knipstrom, 36, died in hospital five days after the violent confron-tation with RCMP officers in which he was Tasered at least five times, pepper-sprayed and struck with a metal baton on Nov. 19, 2007.

The police use of Tasers, in light of the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski a month earlier at Vancouver International Airport,

raised immediate questions about Knipstrom’s death.

But the CPC found the use of Taser’s in Knipstrom’s case was “reasonable in the circumstances” and made 27 additional findings and four recommendations in its final report.

The RCMP accepted all but two of the CPC’s findings and agreed with all but one of the CPC’s rec-ommendations.

The RCMP Commissioner did not agree with the finding that it was “inappropriate” for officers involved in an incident to be inter-viewed by members of the same

or lower rank, or with the recom-mendation that a staff relations representative should officially attend such incidents to protect members’ “welfare, dignity and operational effectiveness.”

RCMP officers interviewing members involved in the Knipstrom incident were not always superior in rank, and in some cases con-ducted interviews alone, instead of by a two-member team.

But the CPC spokesman said those areas of disagreement have since been addressed by new RCMP policies.

Soca is not a cat that would easily go unnoticed.She has the stature of a medium-sized dog, the coat of a chee-

tah, oversized perky ears, and a high-pitched meow that sounds more like the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park than a cat.

And yet, for more than a week, no one has seen hide nor hair of her.

Dianne Wolff’s one-year-old female cat Soca, a domesticated African serval, went missing on Sept. 10.

“She’s never ever, ever left, never,” said Wolff, having to choke back tears. “I don’t know what happened. The windows and doors were shut. She might have slipped out when the kids were in and out, I don’t know.”

Soca is approxi-mately one metre in length, 24 inches to her shoulder and about 20 pounds. She has a lank, lean body with black spots, a black striped tail, and tawny coloured fur. She also has long legs. In fact, servals have the longest legs of all cats, domesticated and wild. And because of that, they can travel great distances in a short amount of time.

“I’m hoping she’s hiding out in the bushes nearby, but she could be in the cornfields, or gosh she could even be in Abbotsford by now,” said Wolff.

The family is feeling her loss.“She curls up next to me in bed, follows me around the

house... it’s weird not having her here,” said Wolff. “I really miss her. It feels like someone is missing from our house for sure.”

For two years, Wolff researched servals to make sure it was an animal that would fit with the dynamics of her family before committing. When Soca arrived, she immediately fell in love.

“Servals are like a cat and dog put together in one,” said Wolff.

While they have the appearance and intelligence of cats, they have the size and temperament of dogs.

“She plays fetch and brings the ball back, we play tag together in the house, I take her for walks on a leash, I even toilet trained her,” said Wolff.

“Servals are very, very intelligent, more so than a house cat. And they bond. She will not leave my side. When I leave the house and come back, she’s at the front door waiting for me.”

Students at Yarrow elementary are having to wait longer than expected to move into their new school.

The new school was projected to be up and running, with students in classrooms, this January, but due to construction delays, the schools won’t switch over until spring break.

Earlier this month, district officials met with Yellowridge Construction Ltd., the company in charge of con-struction at Yarrow elementary, and decided that even though construc-tion on the school will be complete

sometime in January, it would be best to delay the move-in a couple of months.

The reason for the delay is so school staff can be trained in the operations of the new heating and ventilation system, which is different than the one used in the old school facility.

“It’s going to take a little bit of time to make sure all the deficien-cies are taken care of and that we have trained staff to operate the heating and ventilation of the build-ing before we bring the kids in,” said superintendent Michael Audet.

“We wanted to make sure all the

new equipment is up and running and functioning well, and that all the deficiencies are taken care of. And probably the most important thing is, when the kids move in there will be no tradesmen on site. There will be nobody with tools, no more jackhammer, no more power tools. That’s done.”

The school district also did not want to be rushed with the move, and decided spring break – from March 19-25 – would be the next best opportunity to move in, rather than on a weekend.

Students will be in the new school on March 26.

Yarrow school construction facing delays

David Coon, executive vice-president of the Property Development Group, talks to real estate and business professionals about the Eagle Landing development during the Chilliwack and Area Real Estate Board’s annual commercial real estate tour on Friday. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS

Greg KnillThe Progress

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz promised “bold” action for the city’s downtown to a group of real estate and investment professionals during a tour of commercial properties on Friday.

Gaetz, keynote speaker at ninth annual Chilliwack Commercial Real Estate Tour, said the city’s Downtown Revitalization Strategy is almost ready for release. And while not willing to disclose details prematurely, she said with enthusiasm: “I got to tell you, it’s bold.”

The tour was organized by the Chilliwack and Area Real Estate Board, with assistance from Chilliwack Economic Partners (CEPCO). It drew real estate and business professionals from throughout the region and as far away as Whistler.

The intent of the tour is to show-case investment opportunities in Chilliwack.

And there are plenty, said Gaetz.

Significantly, the group boarded two large tour buses at the former site of the Empress Hotel. The land is one of several properties in the down-town owned by the city that CEPCO wants to see developed. But there are other private opportunities, like the former Safeway site on Main Street, and the former courthouse site on College Street.

The Downtown Revitalization Strategy is the latest attempt to spur redevelopment in the downtown. Earlier studies estimated it would take 30 years for revitalization plans to come to fruition, Gaetz said. But that would take too long.

“We want to see something in our lifetime,” she said.

Chilliwack remains a good place to invest and do business, Gaetz told the group while it stopped briefly dur-ing a tour of the auction facilities at Ritchie Brothers. The city’s low tax rate and pay-as-you-go philosophy has brought significant amenities, but no debt. Meanwhile, incentives like the

Tuesday is the last day of a recruitment drive for paid-on-call firefighters in the Chilliwack area.

Some who answer the call are looking for a career in fighting fires, but others are just looking for a challeng-ing way to give back to their community.

Take Paul Liddle, for instance, a 53-year-old Ryder Lake resident who drives a school bus.

Three years ago he decided to become a paid-on-call firefighter to protect lives and property in the Ryder Lake area.

Why?When he turned 50,

he said, he was struck by the thought that “so many of our community services are dependent on volunteers.”

“But, so far, my life had been all about me,” he said. “If every-body was like me, we wouldn’t have commu-nity services ... not even an effective firefighting force.”

“It was about time I did something about it,” he decided.

Liddle knew Ryder Lake needed firefight-ers, and when he saw a recruitment sign, he knew what that “some-

thing” was.But would they want a

50-year-old guy, in good physical condition, but not one of those mus-cular young men he’d seen on firefighter cal-endars?

“I was 50 years old,” Liddle said. “I might be in good shape for a 50-year-old, but I couldn’t compete with that.”

Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Ullyot said the fire department can “train anybody with a good attitude” and the recruit-ment drive is on for men and women 19 years or older to become paid-on-call firefighters.

There is a fitness test that includes a two-mile run.

Industrial Revitalization Strategy – which provides a tax exemptions for developers willing to commit more than a $1 million – are encouraging invest-ment.

The scale of business investment in the com-munity was evident at the first stop on the tour, Eagle Landing. Because of construction last year the tour buses stopped on the roadside. This year, with construction complete at Walmart and Home Depot, they pulled into the parking lot of the 30,000 square-foot Galaxy Cineplex Theatre. There, David Coon, executive vice-president of the Property Development Group, announced a few new ten-ants for the 650,000 square-foot development, like the Bank of Montreal, a Carl’s Jr. restaurant, and a Visions Electronics store.

Change was also evident farther south as the tour passed the future site of the city’s southside library. It stopped at Garrison Crossing, were the group was told about the remaining properties Canada Lands’ hopes to develop as it completes the sale of land formerly held by Canada’s military.

The tour concluded back downtown with a tour of the $5 million renovation of the Coast Hotel.

This Friday the tour buses will roll again. But this time it will be the Chilliwack Agricultural Commission partnering with CEPCO to highlight the city’s agriculture sector.

“You don’t have to sprint - but you do have to finish it,” Liddle said.

He recalled his run, and anoth-er older recruit who was over-taken and passed - twice - by a younger recruit.

“He must have set a record,” Liddle said, but after complet-ing the run the young recruit teamed up with the slowest guy struggling around the track and

started running alongside him to encourage him on.

“This young guy now is on the career staff - that’s the kind of people the fire department wants,” he said.

In fact, team spirit is the most remarkable thing Liddle has seen in his three years with the fire department.

“I can’t emphasize that enough,” he said. “I’m just amazed by the amount of team spirit. Everybody cares about

everybody else.”You don’t have to give up

your day-job to be a paid-on-call firefighter - but you do need to respond to a fire call “when you reasonably can,” he said.

Like anyone would if they saw a neighbour’s house on fire.

“The fire department is all about community,” he said.

Wolff has toured the areas around her neighbourhood, and has contact-ed the SPCA and animal control. One person told her they had seen Soca early Sunday morning in Mountview Park, just off Stevenson. Wolff’s property backs onto the park.

That was the last time she was seen.

“That was a week ago, she could be anywhere by now,” said Wolff.

Soca is wearing a pink collar with a heart-shaped ID tag that has her

name and Wolff’s phone number on it.

“If you see her, you might think she’s a baby cougar or a baby chee-tah, or something because she is a large cat,” said Wolff. “But she’s not a wild animal. She’s from a domesti-cated line of servals going back 10 generations. She doesn’t know how to take care of herself in the wild. She needs her mama.”

Anyone with information on Soca’s whereabouts is asked to contact Wolff at 604-793-5282.

But Murray said he was hit hard enough to briefly knock him unconscious and to dis-locate his shoulder.

“I was in the hospital until 3 a.m.,” he said, and he was going to another doctor Friday to determine if he had suffered a concussion.

Murray also believed the suspect’s late-mod-el Toyota Prius was totalled in the crash.

He is being held in custody pending a court appearance Monday.

PointsProgressThe ChilliwackThe Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Tuesday and

Thursday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Circulation’s Audit Board, Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.

Environment Canada’s decision to cancel vital research programs and axe some 700 jobs is wrong thinking.

The reasoning may be budget austerity measures – Treasury Board Chair Tony Clement wants to slash $4 billion from govern-ment programs - but beware being penny wise and pound foolish.

Some of the axed programs include ozone research, the air-craft measurements program, and research on solar radiation. Others receiving major cuts include cli-mate adaptation, air toxicity and air quality research.

“(These cuts) really cripple Environment Canada’s ability to monitor our environment,” said Thomas Duck, atmospheric researcher and associate profes-sor at Dalhousie University in Halifax. “People around the world are dumbfounded by what Canada is doing.”

The cuts are deep and brutal and the elimination of the ozone research program could be felt globally. A national network of 17 ozone monitoring stations

will be shut down along with the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre. The mon-itoring stations take balloon-based meas-urements of the atmosphere while the data centre is an international data-base that provides

archived ozone material available to scientists internationally.

This core information assesses the ozone layer that protects the planet from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Canada’s ozone monitor-ing data is so long-running that it is, as one scientist at the University

of Maryland put it, “...the glue that holds the satellite record togeth-er.”

The loss of data means scientists won’t be able to track ozone loss as air masses moves across countries, monitor changes in recovery and assess the impacts. Cancelling the program may be in violation of the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty ratified by 196 countries and states committed to protecting and monitoring the ozone layer.

Ironically, the cuts are coming at a time when, this past spring, research showed a record ozone hole over the Arctic, possibly as a result of climate change.

Arctic research is absolutely critical to our safety and security and the decision to shelve the air-craft measurements program could put travellers’ safety in jeopardy.

“The guys in this program are some of the foremost guys in air-craft icing issues,” stressed Duck.

“It’s important to understand how your aircraft interacts with the environment. It’s still not entirely understood. These guys are world renowned for their work and they fly in the Arctic to do measure-ments of the atmosphere. Yet they are cancelling the program.”

Duck is involved in the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory and its pri-mary funding source comes from the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences which, he said, has not received any new funding since 2003. Funding comes from the federal govern-ment and partner organizations yet the federal budget 2011 provided only $35 million over five years, less than half of what is needed to sustain their level of research.

“For the last decade they have been the primary supporter of atmospheric research at universi-ties in Canada,” he said. “All that

research is now without funding and we are seeing a tremendous brain drain from Canada as those people who have been supported by CFCAS leave. It’s decimating research groups across Canada.”

The Harper government has put a lot of emphasis on Arctic sover-eignty. But you can’t achieve that without understanding the physics of the region. Slashing environ-mental research is plain foolhardy.

“In the long run this approach is costly,” said Duck. “You can’t iden-tify problems in time to head them off. When you get a catastrophe, it’s much more costly to fix. Countries that understand (environmental or climate) problems and correct them or adapt to them quickly will be at a competitive economic advantage. Those who don’t will be disadvantaged. It’s wrong thinking to say cuts save money. They will (ultimately) cost a lot.”

Research cuts show government’s lack of visionLOCALLY GLOBAL

Get out the voteIt’s the level of government that touches us the most. And yet, it is

often the least popular when it comes time to vote.Municipal elections are the ultimate in grassroots politics. Decisions

made here can affect our neighbourhoods and the city for years to come. However, they often lack the same draw as a federal or provincial campaign. Voter turnout can be as low as 30 per cent.

That’s why an initiative by the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board is so welcome.

The board is unveiling this week a website aimed at stirring up inter-est in the municipal campaign. The website at www.thevalleyvotes.ca will feature items that will interest both voters and those seeking public office. (See story, front page.)

For the voters, the site will include candidate profiles and submis-sions, giving them a chance to get to know the people seeking their vote.

Candidates, meanwhile, can draw from public submissions to deter-mine the issues that are generating interest in Chilliwack.

The overall intent of the website, says CADREB president Mark Andersen, is to generate a public dialogue that will hopefully translate into greater voter participation.

And we have lots of room for improvement. According to CADREB, Chilliwack had the ninth worst voter turnout in the province during the last election.

Andersen, a former city councillor, certainly knows the important role civic politics plays in shaping a community.

However, for grassroots democracy to really function it needs the full participation from those who have the opportunity to vote.

Local Realtors are making it easier for us to learn more about the candidates before we cast our ballots.

But they can’t do it all. It’s still up to us to exercise our responsibility and vote.

■ GARLIC GREATNESS

Donna Dove (left) and Jennifer Enns taste a sample of raw garlic given to them by grower Peter Helmer of Skye Farm in Grindrod, B.C. during the first ever Chilliwack Garlic Festival at Fantasy Farms on Gibson Road on the weekend. The two-day event featured more than 20 vendors plus a variety of entertainment. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Getting to the truth about farmed salmonAt the Cohen Commission hear-

ings, lawyers for BC, Canada and the fish farm industry were effec-tive in diverting attention away from the truth, and this may com-promise Justice Bruce Cohen in making final recommendations based on the truth. Well-respected Dr. Alexandra Morton, marine biol-ogist, points out the truth:

• Only the sockeye runs that closely passed by salmon farms collapsed.

• The clinical condition and genomic evidence point to a mystery sickness that began in Chinook salmon farms on the Fraser sockeye route in the early 1990s, exactly when the sockeye began to collapse. The pale gills, swollen kidneys and tumor-like lesions were found in both the farm Chinook salmon and the sockeye. DFO scientist Dr. Kristi Miller needs to be free from politi-cal interference, restrictive bureau-cratic policies, and most important-ly, she needs sufficient funding to complete her research on the new genomic evidence she discovered before Justice Cohen presents his report to Prime Minister Harper.

• When the Norwegian compa-

nies quietly removed the Chinook farms mid-2007, the first sockeye generation that went to sea since 1992 without being exposed to fish farms returned in historic numbers in 2010.

• In 1988, the provincial gov-ernment went to the Broughton Archipelago and asked the locals where they should not put salmon farms. They took that information, painted red on a map the prime habitat for wild salmon, cod, whales and other marine life. The govern-ment said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms in these red zones. The truth is they put 14 open-net salmon farms exactly in those red zones. Fish farmers like those ?red-zone? areas because lights used on these farms attract wild fish into the open-net pens. Since the farms are placed where wild fish congregate, these fish farms should be checked for unregulated capture and consump-tion of wild fish such as herring and migrating juvenile salmon.

The truth is that fish farms placed on wild salmon migration routes pose real threats to the sur-vival of wild salmon because they create harmful sea lice amplifica-

tion, they attempt to prevent viral infections of farmed fish with anti-biotics, and control sea lice with chemicals. Viruses and bacteria are extremely adaptable. Some bacteria can now live in bleach. The stronger these enemies become, the stronger, more complicated and costly antibiotics need to be to eliminate them. Don’t let the Norwegian fish farm industry fool you with their expensive advertis-ing assuring you they are doing no harm. This unsustainable industry wants to expand, increasing the risks that could very well bring wild salmon to extinction.

Business cannot continue as usual. The weight of evidence is enough to justify removal of open-net farms, starting with the 14 fish farms in the red zones where the province said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms. A co-management regime needs to be established to include First Nations people along the Fraser River to govern the aquacul-ture industry to protect aboriginal rights to harvest wild salmon we have depended upon since time immemorial.

The cemetery at Carman United Church is not your typical, manicured cemetery.

The plots are misaligned, the lawn is pocked with divots and ridges, and the stones are mismatched, faded, some have corroded rust, some have become moss habitats.

After 100 years, this cemetery is oozing character.

On Sept. 25, Carman United Church is celebrating its cemetery’s centen-nial anniversary.

The hole-in-the-wall cemetery on the south side of Promontory Road was opened in 1911; two decades after Carman United Church (then a meth-odist church) was established.

“Some people call it a pauper’s cem-etery,” says Shirley Dargatz, whose grandfather George Israel Thornton was one of the founding fathers of the church. “We call it a pioneer’s cemetery.”

When the cemetery was started back in 1911, it featured 12 acres of plot land. But over the years, the church has gradually sold off pieces in an effort to keep the land maintained.

St. Mary’s Catholic Church pur-chased one of the last parcels sold in the 1950s, and built a cemetery of their own right next door.

Even though the two cemeteries are separated only by three towering hemlock trees, their appearances are vastly different.

While St. Mary’s is almost perfect-ly symmetrical featuring clean rows and proportionate, ground-level head-stones, Carman’s is more like your grandparent’s attic – with well-trudged grass, headstone blemishes, and hid-den treasures stashed every which way you turn.

It has upright square stones, obe-lisk stones, ground-level stones, and stones that go the length of the coffin; a practice common in the 1930s. It has modern stones, handmade stones, brass-trimmed stones, broken stones, and one – Jaime L. Jukes, 1934-2009 – covered in happy face stickers.

Happy in life. Peaceful in death, it reads.

One stone has a wooden cross plant-ed next to it, another a cement bench, and another – Mike Allan, 1966-2000 – a mountain bike tire with a piece of card stock that reads: Ride in Peace.

Many are so faded, the only way of determining who the deceased were is by outlining the indented letters with your index finger.

The stories on the headstones, some explicitly told, some left to the imagination, are an education in the history of Chilliwack.

Walking through the grounds, you will pass names like Thornton, Watson, Wells, Bailey, Pearson, Newby – all old-time Chilliwack names, many now street names.

“Many of the people buried here were loyalist descendants,” says Dargatz.

Kids aren’t the only ones going back to school, seniors are too.

ElderCollege is hold-ing registration for its fall classes today (Tuesday, Sept. 20) at the Landing Sports Centre from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Coordinator Judy Becker expects at least 200 seniors signing up, many of who will start lining up two hours prior to the doors opening.

“Our community has a lot of vibrant seniors who are still really inter-ested in learning and growing,” said Becker. “I think ElderCollege fills that need.”

ElderCollege is a non-profit society that offers non-credit courses to people 50 years and older in partnership with the University of the Fraser Valley.

While the courses are designed for learning, there are no tests, no homework, no pressure.

“It’s purely for the joy of learning,” said Becker.

The fall program has 23 courses, most of which are six weeks in length. Some of the courses, including cell phone tutorials, the sci-ence of health advice, and managing hearing loss, are specifically geared for the aging population. Others are more broad based.

This year’s selection of courses include medias such as writing non-fic-tion, drawing, calligraphy, water colour painting, and a hitchhiker’s guide to 20th century music.

There are two “class-on-a-bus” field trips this semester, one will tour the CBC newsroom, and

the other the Vancouver School of Music.

ElderCollege favou-rites, Travel With Me and Tapestry for Thought, which both bring in a range of presenters, are also back again this semester.

Most classes begin in the middle of October.

Pat Emerson (right), manager of Craftsman Collision on Yale Road, shows volunteers with St. John Ambulance, Tina Murray, Ria Geluk and Richard Miller, the work that was done on their primary emergency vehicle. Craftsman donated its time and labour to refurbish and repair the vehicle, approximately an $8,000 job. The vehicle was completely repainted, body damage was repaired, and the undercarriage was reinforced. Prime Signs also helped out by donating the graphics. The Chilliwack branch of St. John Ambulance currently has 18 volunteer members. They are first-aid responders who attend events on a by-donation basic.

Job fair for youth

You will see intricate stones, like those of Sui Lim (1918-1962) and Mary Chan Yee (1927-2004) that have brass trim around them and a picture of the deceased imprinted on them. Similar stones lay near-

by; all the deceased of Chinese descent.

“There used to be a Chinatown coming into Chilliwack ... from the Esso on Yale Road to where UFV is on Airport Road,” explains Dargatz. “When I was a kid, it was quite evi-dent you were driving

through Chinatown.”The obelisk head-

stone of Reverend Thomas Wellington Hall, who passed away on Nov. 18, 1911, is the oldest headstone in the graveyard. Hall was one of the first rev-erends of the church, and the cemetery’s first interred.

After so many years, though, his tall, rose-speckled granite head-stone had sunk down more than a foot into the soil. The stone was only recently pulled back above ground by Peter Van Der Maden, whose first wife Anne Marie is buried next to the reverend, and who has an “affinity” for the Carman cemetery.

“Every one of these stones has a story and you wonder what their story was all about,” says manager John Sugden, who often tours the grounds with a broom in hand, sweep-ing the stones clean as he tries to piece each story together.

He points to one of the stones with three names: Maisie Walters, who died in 1922, fol-lowed by “Dick and Ewie” who were killed

in action in France. No other information is provided.

“My guess is the bod-ies of those men are not here, but someone cared about them so much, they wanted to memorialize their bod-ies with a stone, but I don’t really know,” says Sugden.

“Even the graves with no markers have a story. Did they not want to be remembered? Did they not have enough money for a marker? Did they have a wooden marker that deteriorat-ed. Or were they just forgotten?”

With over 900 buried, plus an undetermined number of cremated ashes, and available plot land that has not yet been developed, Sugden says his imagi-nation will be busy for many years to come.

The Carman United Church Cemetery 100-year celebration is on Sept. 25 at 10:30 a.m. at the church located at 7258 Vedder Road.

Regular season starts as Vees visit Chiefs

Eric J. Welsh,The Progress

If Chilliwack Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl wants to know where his crews stands in the BCHL, he’ll get no better test than Saturday night’s visit by the Penticton Vees.

An early favourite to hoist the Fred Page Cup next spring, the vaunted Vees bring their stacked roster to Prospera Centre for the season opener.

Smyl has to figure out a way to beat a junior A team that resem-bles a Western Hockey League team in the num-ber of NHL draft picks it can claim.

Penticton’s ros-ter figures to include Minnesota Wild pros-pect Mario Lucia (60th overall, 2011).

Steven Fogarty, a for-ward, was picked in the third round pick (72nd ova) by the New York Rangers.

Defenceman Mike Reilly was chosen in the fourth round (98th ova) by the Columbus Blue Jackets, and he’ll play alongside brothers Connor and Ryan.

The supporting

cast includes return-ing 30-goal man Joey Benik, just named one of the team’s alternate captains.

“There is a lot of lead-ership throughout the whole group of guys,” Benik said after being handed the A. “It’s a great feeling obvious-ly to be wearing one of the letters here in Penticton.”

Penticton’s captain is hometown boy Logan Johnston, a 20-year-old who had 11 goals and 32 points in 56 regular season games last year. Johnston had six goals in nine playoff games last spring.

As loaded as the Vees are up front, their

strength might be in net.

Head coach and GM Fred H a r b i n s o n acquired reign-ing BCHL goal-tender of the year Michael Garteig from the Powell River Kings in August, giving Penticton the

best last-line-of-defence in the league.

Garteig, a Prince George minor hockey product, appeared in 48 games for the Kings in 2010-11, compiling a 36-8-3 record and tying the BCHL single sea-son shutout record at seven.

“Garteig demon-strated that he was the best goalie in the BCHL last year,” said Vees coach and GM Fred Harbinson. “Michael’s addition to our ros-ter is significant and is another step in our drive towards a champi-

onship.”The Vees went 38-17-

3-2 last year, placing second to Vernon in the Interior conference. Penticton bombed the Quesnel-now-Chilliwack Millionaires in the first round, bouncing them in four games.

The Vees fell short in round two, losing in five games to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

“They are probably

one of the favorites to win the BCHL title, so that means they are one of the favorites to win the Royal Bank Cup,” Smyl said of the daunt-ing task ahead. “They’re a very good team with high-end skill, and they have depth with very experienced goaltend-ing in Garteig.”

The plan of attack will be simple to say but dif-ficult to execute for the Chiefs, who must stay

out of the penalty box.“We’ve got to elimi-

nate turnovers, play solid team defense and make sure we don’t take bad penalties, because they will have a great power play,” Smyl cau-tioned.

This is the first of seven meetings between these two teams this season, as the Chiefs rejoin the BCHL play-ing in the Interior con-ference.

Chilliwack will move to the Coastal confer-ence after this season. Find a BCHL season preview in the Thursday Progress.

● Sports & Stuff in the Chilliwack Mall will be hosting a ‘Meet the Chiefs’ night Thursday (Sept. 22), starting at 6:30 p.m.

That’s two days before the home and regular season opener

versus Penticton, giving fans a chance to inter-act with the players and coaches.

Sports & Stuff is the official distributor of Chiefs merchandise, offering gear in the store and running the Prospera Centre con-course store as well.

Huskers better but still winless

If you’re looking for moral victories, then Chilliwack’s 20-7 loss to the Langley Rams on Saturday night was a step in the right direc-tion.

If you’re looking for actual victories, then the local B.C. Football Conference team is still looking for a win, sport-ing a record of 0-7 with three games to go.

The Huskers were better on the scoreboard

at Exhibition Stadium, giving the coaching staff some positives to build on.

Quarterback Adann Hendrickson had one of his better games of the year, going 16-of-37 passing for 208 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Hendrickson added another 52 yards on seven carries, finishing as Chilliwack’s leading rusher. Receiver Adam Leggott had perhaps his best game of the year, catching three balls for 72 yards.

The Chilliwack D had unquestionably its best

game of the year, yield-ing 307 net yards while only allowing Langley into the endzone twice. The Rams only had 67 yards of offence in the first half, and led 6-0 at the break on two field goals by Nick Taylor.

Langley’s O moved the ball more effective-ly in the second half. Quarterback Brandon Leyh scored one Ram major on the ground.

He hooked up with receiver Nick Downey for the other, going six of 13 passing for 93 yards on the day.

Chilliwack’s lone touchdown came in the

fourth quarter, with Peter Johns snagging a Hendrickson pass.

The Huskers hit the road this weekend, travelling to the Island to face the unbeaten defending BCFC cham-pion Nanaimo Raiders.

The last home game is Oct. 1 at Exhibition Stadium versus the Okanagan Sun before the Huskers finish on the road, visiting Kamloops Oct. 8.

The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s golf team won the

first 2011 PACWest reg-ular season tournament, taking a six stroke win over Camosun College.

UFV’s crew recorded a two day score of 574 at The Dunes at Kamloops, home of the Thompson Rivers University Wolf Pack.

The Cascades were led by veteran Aaron Pauls, a Chilliwack

native, who carded a two day score of 140, good for second overall on the weekend.

Mission’s Mitch Lock found his way into the PACWest top 10, finish-ing third with a two day total of 144.

Langley’s Darren Whitehouse placed sixth with a score of 145.

47 golfers from eight teams participated in the tournament, hosted by TRU.

The Cascades travel to the Okanagan this weekend to participate in PACWest tournament number two, hosted by the University of British Columbia-Okanagan at the Okanagan Golf Resort in Kelowna.

Chilliwack’s Pauls leads Cascade golfers

The Chilliwack Lunachicks raised their early-season record to 2–0 with a win over vis-iting Langley United on Sunday at the Tzeachten Sports Field.

The Lunachicks opened the scoring seven minutes into the game when Kelly Willmets took a center-ing pass from Michele Julian and popped a quick shot into the lower corner of the Langley net.

Willmets struck again 10 minutes later when she headed in a perfect Tamara Soeliner corner kick.

Chilliwack’s third goal came when Soeliner made a run down the wing and crossed a beauty to Andrea Feaver, who headed it past the Langley keeper at the 15 minute mark of the second half.

Langley United broke Chilliwack’s shutout bid at the 28 minute mark, but Janelle Cavanaugh replied with the final goal of the match, vol-leying in another cross from Feaver.

Still unbeaten

POUCHERH. Keith1931 – 2011

With our hearts full of sorrow we an-nounce the passing of H. Keith Poucher on September 14, 2011. Keith was born April 3, 1931 in Not-tingham, England and upon completion of his military service, apprenticed in the lumber industry. After a brief stint in West Africa, Keith and his wife, Jacqueline, decided to immigrate to Canada and eventually settled in Vancou-ver. He started his own com-pany in the lumber whole-saling business and was one of the early recipients, in the 1970’s, of a hardwood timber license.

Over the years he raised his family and continued working in the lumber busi-ness, owning and operating several sawmills around the province. Towards the end of his career he became a devel-oper and built fi ve industrial warehouses in Chilliwack, where he eventually moved to in 1987. He enjoyed sports and was an avid traveler; later in life he and Jacquie enjoyed many trips to Central America and the Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii and numerous coun-tries in Europe. His real pas-sion though was his garden and home; he designed and landscaped his last two homes in which he lived for the last 40 years.

Keith will be dearly missed by Jacqueline, his loving wife of 55 years, his children Fiona, Nicholas (Laura) and Julia; his fi ve grandchildren, Bar-rie, Andrew, Nicholas, Chris-topher and Chiara; his two brothers Ramsey and Derek and their families and many other friends and relatives both here and in the U.K. Many thanks to the doctors, nurses and volunteers at Ab-bottsford Regional Hospital and the Cascade Hospice for their kind and considerate at-tention. The family will hold a private service, in lieu of fl ow-ers donations can be made to the Cascade Hospice in Chilli-wack.

SCOTTStuart StanleyIt is with

great sadness that we an-nounce the passing of Stuart Stanley Scott, a long-time resident of Agassiz, on September 16, 2011, at the age of 84.

He spent the last afternoon of his life exchanging heart-felt messages with his loved ones, which in the days since have offered much comfort to his wife of 60 years, Rena; his sons Warren (Terrill) and Kelvin (Kathy) and daughter Jean (Gilles). He was much loved by his six grandchil-dren: Jeremy (Christa), Jesse (Lindsey), Candace (Mike), Kerri (Darrell), Alain and Eric (Janelle); and his fi ve great-grandchildren: Zoey, Emily, Quinton, Cohen and Aurora.Stuart also leaves to mourn his sister Fern, brother George and numerous nieces and nephews.

Stuart was born the sixth of nine children to James and Louise Scott in Melfort, Saskatchewan on March 21, 1927 and moved to Chilli-wack in 1934, with his parents and siblings, Lloyd, Zella, Fern, Chloe, and George. The youngest of the family, Jim, was born here. At age 21, Stu-art lost his father to a heart attack and being the oldest son still at home took on a lot of the duties as head of the household, including provid-ing guidance to his younger brothers. He maintained this role of patriarch throughout his life.

Stuart was introduced to Rena Morrow in May of 1950 at the Cherry Carnival in Chilliwack this was their fi rst meeting but they knew of each other through rela-tives who felt that they would make a good couple. This was indeed true as they married on November 4 of that same year and began their life to-gether in Chilliwack.

Warren was born in Feb-ruary of 1952, followed by Kelvin in August of ’54 and in 1957 Stuart decided to give up mink ranching and move to Agassiz to try his hand at owning and operating Scott’s Abattoir, to later be re-named Scott’s Meats Ltd. It is here in Agassiz, that daughter Jean was born in September of ’61. Stuart sold and retired from the business in 1986 and eventually moved from the farm on Scott Road into town, where he fi lled his days with gardening, model ship build-ing and numerous camping/fi shing trips. These trips often became family events from which many good memories were born.

Eventually Stuart became limited by his health and

many of the activities that he enjoyed became too diffi cult to do, however, he did con-tinue to share his wisdom and philosophies of life for which his family will always remem-ber and be grateful for.

The family would like to thank the staff of Chilliwack General Hospital, along with, Drs. Bull and Phimister who assisted us in giving this husband, Dad and Grandpa a peaceful and dignifi ed last day on this earth.

A Service of Remembrance for Stuart will be held at the Agassiz United Church on Thursday, September 22 at 2:00 p.m.

“God, grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change. The COURAGE to change the things I can. And the WISDOM to know the difference.”

THOMPSONMarjorie Christina

(nee York)Thompson

(Kucharsk i ) , Marjorie Chris-tina (nee York) (Feb 25, 1926 - Sept 15, 2011), passed away peacefully, sur-rounded by her family, after a courageous three-year battle with cancer.

Predeceased by her broth-er John, husband Walter, and second husband Robert Thompson.

Lovingly missed by her children Mike (Dale), Wendy (Carl), Gord (Deb), sister Bet-ty, and seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

Mom was born and raised in Montreal, where she mar-ried Dad shortly after WWII, and spent her early years rais-ing a family in Aylmer, Que-bec.

At the end of the ‘50s, Mom, Dad and we three children moved west to BC, settling in Richmond, where Mom worked at Sears for many years. She retired to Cultus Lake in the early ‘80s, and enjoyed local life as well as many miles spent as a trav-eler and RV enthusiast. Fam-ily, community and church were the cornerstones of Mom’s life. A true matriarch, she presided lovingly over her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She played an integral part in all of their lives, and will continue to live on through them.

Mom will be missed by her family and many friends from

all over, and we would like to acknowledge those whose friendship with Mom has en-dured throughout the years.

We would like to give a heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ross and the staff at Chilliwack Hospital Emergency for their unwavering support during the diffi cult times.

A celebration of Mom’s life will be held at Cultus Lake Memorial Church on Satur-day, Sept 24, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of fl owers, please make a donation to World Vision, Salvation Army or Cultus Lake Memorial Church, if you wish.
