Aconvicted fraudster’s deci-sion to skip his sentencinghearing and leave British

Columbia backfired last Fridaywhen he was handed a one-yearjail sentence in Supreme Court.

Last June, a jury found MarcColman guilty of defrauding theCFB Chilliwack Historical Soci-ety and two banks out of a total ofmore than $38,000 by writing badcheques.

As a first-time offender whosecrime didn’t include violence, Col-man would likely have been eligi-ble for house arrest. But he left the

province prior tohis sentencinglast October andmissed his ensu-ing court dates.Colman was onlyrecently foundand arrested inNorth Bay, Ont.

Crown counsel Paul Blessinsaid Colman’s decision to skip hissentencing hearing raised doubtsabout whether he would complywith a conditional sentence order.

“Mr. Colman, I submit, hasshown a complete disregard for thecourts,” Blessin told Justice Wil-liam Grist. “He has shown he willnot comply with directions fromthis court.”

Colman served as treasurer forthe historical society. (Colman alsoheld that position with the Chilli-wack Métis Association; a smallclaims court has since ordered himto pay back $25,000 to that non-profit.)

“Mr. Colman’s actions in this casewere reprehensible,” Blessin said.

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

BY CORNELIA [email protected]

For Chilliwack cleaning compa-ny owner Lisa Riobo, donatingfree house cleaning to womenbattling cancer just seemed

like the right thing to do.So after getting her franchise, the

Cleaning Authority, up and running inNovember, she signed on to CleaningFor A Reason, an international non-profit dedicated to giving women laidlow by chemotherapy treatments andcancer surgery a helping hand aroundthe house.

“We’re cleaning already, so whywouldn’t we do it for the people whoreally need it right now?” Riobo said.

What she didn’t count on was howhard it would be to convince womento take the help.

She registered one month ago withCleaning For A Reason, which providesfour free cleanings over four months.

Since then, the husband of onewoman undergoing cancer treatmentsigned up only to have the woman callback and say the free cleanings weren’tneeded.

But Riobo suspects it might just behard for women to admit they needhelp.

Local cancer survivor Bev Mac-Gregor, a single mother and grand-mother who recently finished her finalround of chemotherapy for breastcancer, knows what that’s like.

Cancer treatments wiped her outand interfered with her ability to con-centrate and focus, she said.

It took her until February, for exam-

ple, to muster enough energy to takedown her Christmas decorations.

“I can’t even do justice to how hor-rible it makes you feel,” she said.

But it was still hard to accept helparound the house even from her sis-ters.

“They did everything, and that mademe feel so loved, but also it made mefeel useless,” she said. “I’m very inde-pendent and I’ve always taken care ofmyself.”

What she has learned from her expe-rience, though, is that it’s important

for women battling cancer to accepthelp, not just for their own wellbeingbut for other’s as well.

“What I’ve learned is people wantto help and people want to do some-thing for you,” MacGregor said. “Theycan’t take away the cancer, they can’ttake away your chemo, they can’ttake away your pain or your anxietiesor your fears, but people want to dosomething to help.”

And help is just what Riobo, whosefamily has been fortunate enough notto be touched by cancer, wants to do.

Her company is the first in Chilli-wack to sign on with Cleaning For AReason, and she hopes other localbusinesses follow suit, since smallbusinesses like hers can only take onabout two clients at a time.

“It would be really cool if morecleaning companies in the area wouldsign up for it because there’s no waythere’s only two women out there bat-tling cancer right now,” Riobo said.

Why would someone want torun in an election they haveno hope of winning?

The reasons are many: Frustrationwith party politics, motivation to pro-mote an extreme ideology, or a fixa-tion on one particular issue.

So-called fringe candidates havebeen around since democracyemerged. In the 2013 provincial elec-tion we have independent Ryan McK-innon running in Chilliwack-Hopewhile in Chilliwack, Michael Hallidayis running as the leader of a party hecreated, the BC Excalibur Party.

The former will be lucky to get 100votes and the latter should find suc-

cess if he attains three per cent.But winning is rarely the motivation

for fringe candidates, according toUniversity of the Fraser Valley politicalscientist Hamish Telford.

“They know they aren’t going towin,” he told the Times in an inter-view. “They know they aren’t going toget a lot of votes.”

Telford said motives range fromattention-seeking on one particularissue or ideology to a feeling of havingalready invested a lot by those turfedfrom parties.

Halliday says his motivation isbased on the fact that he asked people(how many is unclear) who they weregoing to vote for and 85 per cent saidthey had no idea. This led him to cre-ate Excalibur, a party based on the leg-endary King Arthurian ideals of truth,honour and justice.

As for where on the political spec-trum he lies, Halliday said the “centre”with some ideas that “will benefit thewealthier and bigger business” andsome “that will benefit labour unions.”

McKinnon, on the other hand, hasa passionate and personal beef with

the Ministry of Children and FamilyDevelopment (MCFD), specifically thefoster children program. He has talkedat all-candidates meetings abouthow MCFD “maliciously” puts kidsin foster care. He has even referred toextreme cases of rape and abuse inthe system.

This is an example of the one-issue candidate, according to Telford:“Somebody who is personally a victimof what he perceives to be egregiousbureaucracy and he wants to exercisehis democratic voice. It may makesense. It may not.”

Candidates in the BC Conservativesand the Green Party—two establishedparties that are closer to fringe parties

Araging fire destroyed a Rosedalehome late Sunday night.

Firefighters arrived at the house, inthe 51000 block of Old Yale Road, tofind flames consuming both floors of atwo-storey 1970s-era home.

Firefighters worked to control theblaze and stop it from spreading tostructures on neighbouring properties.

“The fire was so intense that it con-

sumed the gas meter, producing asmall gas leak that required Fortis todisconnect services at the road,” assis-tant fire chief Jeff Ullyot said in a newsrelease.

The fire completely destroyed thehome, but no one was injured.

Assistant fire chief Ian Josephson toldthe Times that animals that would nor-mally have been at the home had been

recently placed in an off-site kennel.He said the occupant and her daugh-

ter and son-in-law had left to see amovie shortly before the fire broke out.

Josephson said the family has insur-ance on the home.

The cause is still under investigation,but so far no signs of suspicious activ-ity have been found.

Fire destroys Chilliwack homeWilliam Snow photo

A Rosedale home was lost to flames Sunday night. Nobody was home at the time of the blaze.

“He acted from a positionof trust in a charitable orga-nization.”

While Colman reaped tensof thousands of dollars bywriting bad cheques, Bles-sin said Colman attempt-ed—but failed—to pass badcheques totalling $155,900between September 2009and January 2010.

“This shows that this wasnot some one-time errormade by Mr. Colman,” saidBlessin, who asked for aone-year jail term, plus pro-bation.

Grist agreed, noting thatColman has shown an inabil-ity or unwillingness to com-ply with court directions.

Bizarre start to trialColman’s sentencing began

in strange fashion Friday.Pleading poverty, Colman

had represented himself attrial. At the start of the sen-tencing hearing, when Gristasked him about whether hewas planning to obtain coun-sel, Colman looked down athis feet and seemed to shakehis head.

As Grist tried to extract aresponse, Colman remainedmute.

“I’m not hearing anythingfrom you. Is there any-thing you would like to sayin response to these ques-tions?” Grist said.

Silence.

“Mr. Blessin, I’m some-what concerned by Mr. Col-man’s non-responsivenesshere this morning.”

But when Blessin pro-posed adjourning the hear-ing to allow for a doctor tosee the defendant, Colmansuddenly came alive.

“What I would like,” hesaid in an annoyed voice,“would be for you to get onwith it so I can go back.”

Colman said he hadn’t fledthe province and that he hadsimply headed east in pur-suit of food and shelter.

“No I’m back here. Just geton with it please.”

They did.After the Crown presented

its case, Colman declineda chance to offer up argu-ments in favour of a morelenient sentence.

“It doesn’t really matterwhat I have to say,” he said.“I didn’t flee anything. . . .Find food, find shelter, that’sall I do.”

He added that during histrip east, he spoke to manypolice officers who didn’tarrest him.

“In fact, some of themgave me a ride,” he said.

But as for everything else,he said: “It’s done. You peo-ple are doing your thing.Please get on with it.”

Cheam elementary likely home forearly French immersion programBY CORNELIA [email protected]

Most early French immersion(EFI) parents are in for a longdrive if the Chilliwack school

board decides to launch an EFI pro-gram in 2014.

The board was scheduled to voteon what to do with the program Tues-day, and superintendent Evelyn Novakis recommending EFI be housed atCheam elementary if the board decidesto go ahead with it in 2014.

But, according to a survey in Decem-ber, more than 60 per cent of parentswho want their kids in the program,live on the south side of Hwy. 1.

The problem is a shortage of spaceat southside schools combined withprojected enrolment increases for that

part of the city.“There are no locations in schools

on the south side of Chilliwack SchoolDistrict to add an Early French Immer-sion Program,” Novak states in a reportin Tuesday’s school board meetingagenda.

Besides Cheam, the report outlinesA.D. Rundle middle school and theold Rosedale elementary school site aspossibilities.

A fourth option could see the districtdesignate one of the brand new schoolsproposed in its five-year Long RangeFacilities Plan as a dual-track school.

That option would also give the dis-trict time to put aside funds each yearin an EFI reserve to soften the financialimpact of launching the new program,according to the report.

But local parents who have lobbied

for an EFI program for well over a yearsay that would take too long.

“They would lose the momentumthat we have created for the 2014, kin-dergarten and Grade 1 enrolment,”said Canadian Parents for French (CPF)Chilliwack president Jocelyn Thomas,“and it would be harder to find anoth-er group of parents three to four yearsdown the road willing to be the firstclass of kindergarteners. It’s easier tostart now because there are so many ofus committed to helping create a suc-cessful EFI program in Chilliwack andwould want to see its continued suc-cess in the future.”

None of the options proposed inNovak’s report are ideal for southsideparents, but Thomas hopes they will

Don't like the taste or smell of your water?Here's what you can do about chlorination.

Q.Q.A.A.

AndyAJ Pumps

How can I get rid of it?Chlorine can be removed several ways....boiling the water is one way buttedious. Evaporation works but takes time, distillation is another method.The easiest way is with filtration.

Can I just put a filter on my tap?The filter can go on your whole house or individual taps or on your jugof water

But don't I have to change filters all the time?Filters only absorb so much then they have to be changed. With our systems the averagehome changes once a year.(depending on chlorine concentration and amount of water used)

What about a permanent set-up under my sink. Is it expensive?Filtration can be installed at point of use under the sink with a separate tap or can be

connected to your existing tap. Do-it-yourself kits are about $125. Installed its about $225.

My whole house smells of chlorine, especially after showering?If you don't like showering or brushing your teeth with chlorine a whole house filter can beinstalled. Surprisingly this does not cost much more than filtering just your sink. Anotheradvantage to this is that if your house is on a septic field you do not neutralize the bacteriain the field. We find the average home is only about $500 installed.

Chlorine is here to stay... you do not have to get used to it or learn to live with it.It can be effectively removed at a relatively low cost. -Andy.We educate We sell We install We service.... ajpumps.comWe educate We sell We install We service.... ajpumps.com

Asearch was launched Saturday aftera body found by a fisherman slippedback into the Fraser River before it

could be brought to shore.Mounties say a local First Nations fisher-

man set his net in the Fraser Friday nightnear Cannor Road, between Chilliwack andSumas mountains. When he returned thenext morning to bring in his net, he found itwas abnormally heavy. As he drew it closerto the shore, Mounties say he saw “a partial-ly submerged body surface.”

The net was only 12 feet away, but thebody broke free of the net and rolled backinto the river, according to RCMP spokes-person Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen.

Chilliwack Search and Rescue attendedthe scene and began searching the river asdid search agencies downstream in Abbots-ford and Mission. But neither of thosepatrols nor an aerial search by a police heli-copter turned up anything.

Police around the province have beenasked about any missing persons thatmatched the description.

The fisherman reported the body as beingof small build and about 180 pounds. Butthe sex and ethnicity of the body were notclear. A black jacket with a zipper up thewrist area was visible.◗ As well, the RCMP are asking for the pub-lic’s help. Anyone with more information isasked to contact police at 604-792-4611 orCrime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Those living with devel-opmental disabilities inChilliwack face enormous

challenges that are often over-looked.

That was what six of the ninelocal provincial election candi-dates heard at an all-candidatesmeeting last Wednesday hostedby Pacific Developmental Path-ways.

A few dozen individuals withspecial needs who attendPathways and other localprograms were at theunique meeting at Cen-tral elementary.

All candidates told thegroup they would workto make life easier.

“We have invited outall the local day pro-grams and groups homes, andare excited at giving individualswho are often not encouragedto vote, the chance to get moreinformed,” said Carolyn Putt ofPathways.

The candidates were asked toanswer three previously submit-ted questions about transporta-tion, jobsforthosewithdisabilitiesand supportive housing.

On the jobs question, Chilli-wack-HopeNDPcandidateGwenO’Mahony said she thought rais-ing awareness was really impor-tant.

“Whenever there is an oppor-tunity for me to include peoplewith disabilities, I do it,” she said.

Chilliwack-Hope BC Liberalcandidate Laurie Throness saidthat, if elected, he committed tospending some of the advertis-ing budget allocated to MLAs topromote a government website(workablesolutionsbc.ca) thatconnects people with disabilities

with employers.“I would like to be use-

ful to you in that regard,”Throness said.

Chilliwack BC Conser-vative candidate ChadEros said for disabilityissues he was relying onthe advice of one his

campaign volunteers who hasmultiple sclerosis.

“We need to do a better job ofhelping you work from home,”he said.

Chilliwack Green Party candi-date Kim Reimer said simply: “Iwill fight to make sure there aremore jobs for everybody includ-ing those with special needs.”

Also in attendance at the

meeting was Chilliwack-Hopeindependent candidate RyanMcKinnon and Chilliwack BCExcalibur candidate Michael Hal-liday.

Michael Henshall said he didnot attend because he was sick.And Chilliwack riding Liberaland NDP candidates, John Mar-tin and Patti MacAhonic, wereat a private Rotary Club lunchmeeting.

After the set questions, a num-ber of those in attendance got upto ask the candidates about vari-ous topics.

Pathways attendee JasonLabrash asked those running foroffice when they would providemore funding for programs.

Both Eros and Halliday saidcurrent funding is not used prop-erly.

O’Mahony said the NDP woulddo a review of Community LivingBC and “see where the moneyshould be spent.”

Throness pointed to fundingthe BC Liberal government hasprovided in recent years.

“We are doing exactly what yousaid we should do,” Throness toldLabrash.

Reimer said funding for pro-grams such as Pathways shouldbe increased because that inturn helped maintain health andreduce other spending on health-care.

The candidates were alsoasked what they knew aboutsign language given some of thechallenges facing the hearingimpaired.

Only O’Mahony stood up toshow off a few signs she knows.

Local kayakers say they are opposed to

a plan to install a run-of-river power

project on a Chilliwack River Valley

creek.Tamihi Creek, which enters the Chilli-

wack River just west of the Tamihi Rapids,

is popular with kayakers, who say an eight-

kilometre stretch provides a diverse range of

whitewaters that attracts users from around

the world.

But kayakers fear they won’t be able to use

the creek if a run-of-river power project pro-

posed for the creek goes ahead.

During BC Hydro’s 2006 call for tenders for

independent power

projects, KMC Energy,

a subsidiary of Win-

dRiver Power Corp.,

successfully bid for the

right to install a run-

of-river project on the

creek.

While the Tamihi remains undeveloped,

kayaker Adam Frey was spooked when he

recently visited and found pink flagging tape

lining the entire run.

When contacted by the Times, WindRiver

chief development officer Greg Trainor con-

firmed the project is “in the pre-consultation

planning stages.”

Trainor said that while the company is not

saying much publicly about the project at

this time, “there will be ample opportunity

to discuss the project during the public con-

sultation process at which time better infor-

mation will be available.”

If and when the project gets to that point,

WindRiver will face opposition to their

plans.Frey, who represents the Vancouver Kay-

ak Club (VKC) on the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of BC, said the creek is a local

treasure that provides an economic benefit

to the Chilliwack area.

Aformer firefighter dismissed

because of his age says a lack

of manpower often makes it

impossible for the Chilliwack Fire

Department (CFD) to adhere to

operational guidelines meant to

reduce health and safety risks.

Russell Shellard has asked the BC

Human Rights Tribunal to rule that

the City of Chilliwack’s mandatory

retirement age of 60 for firefighters is

discriminatory. On Friday, the tribu-

nal declined to throw out Shellard’s

complaint.

Shellard, formerly a paid-on-call

firefighter, was forced out of the

department at the start of 2012.

In his submission to the tribunal,

Shellard argued“it is not uncommon

with CFD fire ground scenes to be

lacking sufficient manpower in order

to follow operational guidelines set

out to reduce health and safety risks

for firefighters. . . . The older per-

sonnel, because of life experiences,

are vital and help reduce the risk of

health and safety on all emergency

scenes.”The city says the age requirement

is needed because the job’s physical

demands put older firefighters more

at risk of deadly on-the-job heart

attacks.According to the tribunal’s ruling,

Fire Chief Rick Ryall suggested “the

T U E S D A YINSIDE: Visit to cancer camp inspires four years of hair growing Pg. 4

April 9, 2013

Cassidy Ediger’s bedroom in her Chilliwack

home is filled with flower-shaped lights, and

the walls are painted blue.

“Same colour as a Tiffany box,”

said her mom, Carolyn Ediger. “When we head

home, she starts to laugh and giggle. It’s like

heaven to her—it’s where she wants to be.”

The Ediger family’s 12-year-long fight for jus-

tice after their daughter Cassidy was left with

severe brain damage due to a botched delivery has final-

ly come to a close.

Cassidy, now 15, lives with spastic quadriplegia and

cerebral palsy. She and her family will be awarded $3.2

million in damages after the Supreme Court of Canada

unanimously restored a decision this month against

obstetrician and gynecologist William G. Johnston for

breaching the standard of care during her birth in 1998.

The initial 2009 trial decision found he had failed to

ensure a backup surgical staff was readily available to

help deliver the child by caesarean section when a for-

ceps procedure failed.

Johnston successfully appealed that decision in 2011,

before the family pushed to have the case heard in Can-

ada’s top court.

“We’re really overjoyed and just completely over-

whelmed,” said Ediger, who launched the court action

in 2008 on behalf of her daughter, and had even begun

discussing legal action when Cassidy was only

three.“It’s a huge burden lifted off our shoulders

and it’s just complete peace of mind, knowing

we’ll be able to provide for her (financially) for

the rest of her life.”

In January 1998, Johnston induced labour early

at 38 weeks after determining Ediger’s pregnancy was high

risk. After running into complications part way through

the delivery, he decided to switch to a caesarean proce-

dure instead, and left the room to make arrangements.

It has been a long fight for Cassidy Ediger’s family with her mother Carolyn Ediger seen here at their home in Chilli-

Aboriginal elders will rally at

the Sto:lo Nation grounds

Wednesday to protest a

“moral injustice” they say they

have suffered at the hands of the

Coqualeetza Cultural Education

Centre (CCEC) board of directors.

The Coqualeetza Elders Group

(CEG) has been a part of CCEC

for almost 40 years, but in Janu-

ary, members say the CCEC board

suddenly and without consulta-

tion announced it was dissolv-

ing the program and, further, that

any group that remained would

be forbidden to use the name

“Coqualeetza.”

Members of the group, which

meets weekly for luncheons and

engages in cultural activities in the

community, said they have tried

unsuccessfully to meet with the

board to resolve the issue and now

have no choice but to make their

grievance public.

“What they’re doing is totally dis-

respectful,” CEG president Virginia

Joe said of the board, “and in our

culture respect is one of the biggest

things that we talk about.”

The Jan. 30 letter announcing

the dissolution of the group pro-

vides no rationale for the board’s

decision, stating only that the

board had “reviewed [its] mandate

regarding program funding and

service delivery” and was dissolv-

ing the group “following the CCEC

mandate and policies, the voices of

Tamihi Creek has become

a “poster child” for British

Columbia waterways endan-

gered by independent power proj-

ects (IPP), according to a provincial

recreation group.

The popular kayaking creek—

which feeds into the Chilliwack River

just below the Tamihi Rapids—has

been named one of two “rivers to

watch” by the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of British Colum-

bia, which released its annual Most

Endangered Rivers List Monday.

The Fraser River was also on the

list, having been named the second-

most endangered river in the prov-

ince, behind the Peace.

Tamihi Creek is the location of a

proposed 15-megawatt power proj-

ect by KMC Energy, a subsidiary of

WindRiver Power Corp. Last month

the Times reported that local kay-

aker Adam Frey recently found pink

flagging tape along the entire run,

leading to worries that work on the

project would soon begin.

A WindRiver official told the Times

the project is in the “pre-consulta-

tion planning stages.”

ORC executive director Jeremy

McCall said the Tamihi is a stand-

in for hundreds of creeks and rivers

around the province that are threat-

ened by such projects.

“They’re called run-of-river proj-

ects [but] that is almost a total mis-

nomer,” McCall said. Instead, he

says the projects siphon off much

of the water and divert it through

pipes, thereby affecting fish down-

stream and the humans who use

the waterways for recreational pur-

poses.“To many, Tamihi Creek is becom-

ing a poster child of sorts, empha-

sizing the need for better regional

planning when it comes to IPP devel-

opment; something that has been

Sky HighBY PAUL J. [email protected]

Ayear after reporting that Chill-iwack residents were threemore times likely than aver-age British Columbians to be

licensed medical marijuana growers,the Times has learned the number hastripled.

According to figures obtained throughan Access to Information request inJanuary 2012, 238 Chilliwackresidents were licensed topossess marijuana for medi-cal reasons and 193 werelicensed to produce marijua-na for medical purposes.

There were 4,608 licensedusers and 3,831 licensedgrowers in all of BritishColumbia 13 months ago. That trans-lated to about 85 growers and 102 usersper 100,000 people. But Chilliwack hadabout 280 growers and 344 users per100,000 residents.

Health Canada has told the Timesthere are now 666 persons in Chilliwackwho hold a licence to possess marijua-na for medical purposes.

That’s a 180 per cent increase in oneyear and mirrors provincial increases.As of Feb. 18, there were 13,362 peoplein B.C. authorized to possess, up 190per cent from a year ago, and account-

ing for nearly half of the 28,076 acrossCanada.

The number of those growing mari-juana increased even more.

As of last week, there were 513 indi-viduals in Chilliwack who hold personaluse production licences (PUPL) and 77who hold designated person produc-tion licences (DPPL). Assuming the 193number from a year ago included bothPUPLs and DPPLs (Health Canada wasunable to confirm this by press time)

that’s a three-fold, or 206per cent, increase in grow-ers in the city in one year.

Provincewide, the num-ber of growers rose from3,831 a year ago to 11,601(9,369 PUPLs and 2,232DPPLs) today. That com-pares to a total of 9,846

growers in the nine other provinces andthree territories combined.

In the past decade, Health Canadasays the medical marijuana programhas grown exponentially across thecountry, from under 500 authorizedpersons in 2002 to more than 28,000today.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz and several citycouncillors have made no secret of theirhealth and safety concerns regardingmedical marijuana licences.


More local students aregraduating within sixyears of starting Grade 8,

but the Chilliwack school districtstill lags almost seven per centbehind the provincial grad-rateaverage, according to 2011-12 sta-tistics released last week.

The district saw a 3.3 per centincrease in its six-year completionrate overall last year, with a 5.1 percent gain among girls and a 1.4 percent bump among boys.

Since grad rates in the provinceas a wholeimprovedb y l e s st h a n o n ep e r c e n t ,2 0 1 1 - 1 2saw Chilli-wack makethe biggestgains against the provincial aver-age in more than 10 years.

One important area where thisdidn’t apply, however, was amongaboriginal students.

While the provincial averagethere went up by 2.7 per cent, Chill-iwack saw a 2.7 per cent decline,putting its aboriginal rate 3.5 percent below the provincial average.

Before last year, grad rates inChilliwack had consistently comein about 10 per cent below theprovincial average for more than adecade.

But local officials now say thosefigures haven’t accurately reflect-ed the real picture in Chilliwackbecause the traditional six-year

Grad ratebetter,but stillbehindprovince

People often ask me, “Mat-thew, what is the best exoticpet, and where can I get

one?” Yes, maybe I prompt themextensively, or even slip them $5just for asking, but it is a goodquestion, and one I enjoy answer-ing.

Obviously, you don’t want to geta baby macaque in a shearlingcoat. For one thing, everyone hasone of those these days. On mydrive home last week, I passed twovans and a former fruit stand, allselling rhesus monkeys, mandrills,squirrel monkeys, and howlermonkeys. Most of them werewearing cheap nylon jackets, too.

Nor do you want to pick up apoisonous snake (bitey) a con-strictor (strangley) a large preda-tory cat (bitey again) or a memberof the crocodile family (spin youunderwater and hide your carcassunder a log until you rot-y).

Instead, you should get a timemachine. It’s not hard, just makea note in your diary that todayis the day you want your futureself to turn up with your new pet.Remember to have gas money foryour future self; time machinesare not that fuel efficient, evenafter the passage of the Chrono-catalytic Converter Act of 2034.

With all of time and space tosort through, I do have some spe-cial advice for a future exotic petowner.◗ Velociraptors - Yes, everyone hasseen Jurassic Park. No, that is notwhat you will get if you fill out an

order form for a raptor.First, real velociraptors are

about the size of a smallish coyote.(There is a long and boring expla-nation about why the ones in themovie were so big, but accordingto some pesky court order, I am nolonger allowed to ramble on aboutwhy this is so.)

Second, do not under anycircumstances go to one of thecut-price raptor breeders. Some ofthem will pull out all the feathersto simulate a “Spielbergian” look.Their animals are also terriblyinbred, and are prone to colourblindness, gum disease, hip dys-plasia, sickle claw rot, and disem-boweling their owners.

Better to get one yourself, fromthe late Cretaceous. Remember, ifyou can catch a wild raptor withyour bare hands, without losingyour face to a single claw swipe,it’s yours to keep.◗ Big birds - If an aviary is moreyour style, try an argentavis. Thelargest bird ever, it had a 23-footwingspan, and will certainlyreduce the noise from your ruralneighbours’ sheep and cattle onceyou start letting your pet out fordaily flights. Or if you have a pool,

about 34 million years ago, therewas a penguin species that hit 6’6”tall. If you can teach it to balancea ball on its nose, you’ve got a pos-sible NBA player. (There is no rulein the NBA that says a penguincan’t join a team.)◗ Giant sloth - A favourite forthose who enjoy taking their ani-mals for leisurely walks. Reallyleisurely. Really, pack a book and acamp stool.

In addition, remember thatsloths like to dig a sort of latrineand defecate in the same placeevery day, so you may want to gowith the deep pile shag carpet ifyou’re going to have an “insidesloth.”◗ Megalodon - For someone witha good-sized aquarium, the larg-est shark ever known. Existed upto 1.5 million years ago, at whichpoint nature freaked out and real-ized it had created a 50’-60’ giantkilling machine, and promptlysnuffed it out.◗ Some random egg - Any timebetween 220 to 66 million yearsago, you can find nests full of eggs.What’s inside? Finding out willbe half the fun! Will it be a tiny,endearing sauropod that will growfour storeys tall and crush halfyour neighbourhood with swingsof its tail, or a ravenous carnivorewith teeth like daggers?

Either way, you’ll have hoursof excitement, possibly endingabruptly.◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporterwith the Langley Advance.

We owethem a bigthank you

Volunteers are—wait for it—important.OK. That’s not breaking news. In fact, it’s

pretty much the easiest, safest, least-con-troversial statement that we could writehere in this space.

That doesn’t make it false.In this paper (starting on page 13), we

honour eight sport heroes whose volun-teerism has gone above and beyond whatis expected of them.

The Chilliwack Community Sport HeroAward program began as a way to pro-mote an active lifestyle in Chilliwack. Itwas borne out of a realization that livingthat type of lifestyle becomes much moredifficult without a dedicated corps of vol-unteers.

Without them, many sports wouldbecome prohibitively expensive and/orcease to exist.

For children, especially, that would be aprofound tragedy. While for some, sportsis a fun way to spend a couple hours,for others, it provides a refuge from anunhappy life at school or at home.

When you’re an outcast at school, youcan make friends on your sports team.When your parents are absent, yourcoaches will be there.

But when the volunteers dry up, none ofthat is possible.

Other vital community groups, especial-ly those in the arts, are in similar positions.

It’s easy to take volunteers for granted.We figure that they’ll always be there or, ifthey’re not, some other superhero will beeager to step into their shoes.

It’s not that simple, of course. Volunteer-ism requires a great deal of dedication. Butthose volunteers also need support—fromtheir colleagues, from their families, andfrom their employers.

Have you let that employee leave workhalf an hour early to coach their kid’shockey team? Cooked dinner for a spouserushing to a board meeting? Praised thattimekeeper’s dedication? If so, give your-self a pat on the back.

After all, every superhero needs a side-kick. Or two.

Editor:I’m sharing this as a warn-

ing to others to be alert tothis kind of scam by smooth,sincere-sounding criminalswho catch you when youleast expect to be caught.I’ve had all kinds of scamcalls and e-mails in the pastthat I have not fallen for, butthis caller caught me at atime when I was very tired,and obviously not in alertmode. I understand thiskind of scheme has beenaround for some time butstill is being used to catchpeople in weak moments.

We love all our grand-children so much that myhusband and I actually“fell” for a scam artist pre-tending to be one of ourgrandchildren in troubleand needing financial assis-tance. We withdrew therequested money from oursavings account, went tothe Western Union serviceoutlet at Safeway, and sentthe money to the specifiedaddress. The wonderfulwoman, Ann, who served ustried to warn us by tellingus of an incident some timeago that was very similarto the scheme tried on us.At the time, we were notconvinced that our situa-tion was fraudulent, so weproceeded with the finan-cial transaction. Then, onour way home I said to myhusband, “That story shetold us sounded just like thesituation we are in,” and webegan to think, “Were wejust taken?”

We went over the entireconversation we’d had withthat young woman who waspretending to be our grand-daughter. She had not saidwho she was, just, “This isyour favourite granddaugh-ter.” I had then said, “I havesix favourite granddaugh-ters.” I don’t rememberwhat she said next, but Ithought the voice soundedlike one specific grand-daughter so I asked if shewas that one, naming hername. That’s where I madethe first mistake. I shouldhave made the caller tellme her name herself. Anearlier warning was thatmy husband answered thetelephone when she called,and the young womanimmediately asked to speakto Grandma. I suppose sheknew from experience thatgrandmothers are the softerones. Any of our grandchil-dren know that they cantalk just as freely to theirgrandfather as they canto me; and any one of ourgrandchildren would nothave immediately asked tospeak to their grandmother.They would have talked totheir grandfather since hewas the one who answeredthe telephone.

As soon as we were backat home, we called WesternUnion and asked to have

the transaction stoppedsince we thought it was afraud.

Fortunately, our requestwas granted and we wereable to get a full refund ofour money (including theservice charge we’d paid).

In making several tele-phone calls to familymembers afterwards, it wasconfirmed that this hadindeed been a scam.

Re: “We have no excusenot to vote,” Times, May 7.

While, personally, I shallvote in the forthcomingelection, it will be moreout of habit than belief inour democratic system. Nomatter whom I vote for Ishall have had absolutelyno say in, unless I am amember of a political party,who the candidates will be.

All of the various partieswill have decided who willrepresent them in the vari-ous ridings and will financetheir runs for those seats.As a consequence the can-didate will not owe his alle-giance to the voters of theriding, but to the party thatprovided the cash and sup-port for his or her run.

When the winning can-didate goes to Victoria hisloyalty must be to the party,as opposed to the voters inthe riding. After all, shouldthe winning candidatewish to run again in anyforthcoming election, orbe appointed to well-paidcommittees, or continuein office long enough toobtain the handsome pen-sion which accrues forMLAs, he will toe the partyline and when the leadersays, “jump” the MLA willjump; and may not believeit wise to ask when he/shecan come down. I believesuch a democracy offers avery effective reason not tovote.

I shall be astonished ifthis letter gets publishedsince the illusion of ourdemocracy must be main-tained at all cost.

Re: Mr. Baigent’s letterdated May 7, titled “Seperat-ing myths from facts.”

In his letter, Mr. Baigentexpresses annoyance withPastor Vandop’s faith thatJesus Christ was a real per-son sent by God, to redeemmankind of their sinfulways.

Mr. Baigent is wrong inthis that the church hasbeen trying to prove thatChrist is real for 2,000 years.

The church or the trueChristians have no doubtin their hearts that Christis real and alive, as He con-quered death for us, and willcome again, to judge theliving and the dead. As Godhas exalted Him above alland over all. And we havethe Holy Spirit as our wit-ness that Christ indeed didlive, died, was buried androse again on the third day.

Could I point out to Mr.Baigent that the athiest viewof evolution and Darwin’stheory, has not been proven,yet children are brain-washed with this notionin our public schools, andtaught that they are descen-dants of apes. And eventhough there is no proof, asthey have not establishedthe missing link yet this istaught as fact.

Yet the words Christ spokeresonates throughout theages. “I have come in theFather’s name but ye believeMe not, another shall comein his own name and himye shall believe,” still so truetoday isn’t it?

People in glass housesshould not throw stones.

Sylvia CommerfordChilliwack

You don’t haveto be a believerEditor:

It is amusing when anon-believer such as KenBaigent dogmatically takes abeliever (Pastor Vandop) totask for being dogmatic.

Unfortunately, Mr.Baigent’s assertion aboutthe non-existence of Jesusof Nazareth is not backed up

by ancient and current his-torians as he claims. Froma qualified historian’s pointof view, the Bible is not thedefinitive source of accurateinformation about the lifeand times of Jesus, but itcannot be completely reject-ed as at least one sourceof such information. In hiszeal to determine whetheror not Jesus of Nazareth, apurported charismatic Jew-ish rabbi of the first centuryC.E. existed, Mr. Baigentshould start by reading theworks of Josephus, a firstcentury Jewish historian,and those of Eusebius, the“Father of Church History,”a third and fourth centuryGreek historian who lived inthe former Palestine. Bothaccepted and recognizedthe existence and charismaof Jesus.

Next, Mr. Baigent shouldread books by E.P. Sand-ers, Barrie Wilson, MauriceCasey, and Geza Vermes, allcurrent or emeritus profes-sors and historians at pres-tigious universities, who allused not only Josephus andEusebius as sources, butalso as many of the ancientwritings about the time ofJesus as they could lay theirhands on. They too acceptthat Jesus of Nazareth livedand died much as the Bibledescribes. Mr. Baigent

should also bring himselfup to date on the most cur-rent findings of Holy Landarcheologists, who arecontinually verifying someof the locations and eventsas described in the Bible.One does not have to bea “believer” to accept thefindings of intelligent, quali-fied researchers and scien-tists. Jesus of Nazareth didindeed exist, according topeople who know what they

are talking about. I have noproblem with this, and I’m asecular humanist.

Chilliwack Community Sport Hero Awards

Dan Bibby has been coach-ing, organizing, network-ing and sporting anon-again-off-again Burt

Reynolds-Smokey and the Banditera moustache for Chilliwack MinorFastpitch (CMF) for 17 years.

Why has he stuck with it?“He’s quite proud of it,” says Steve

Henrotte who nominated Dan forthis year’s Sport Hero Award. “It’s notjust a Movember thing.”

But that, of course, just covers themoustache.

The reason Dan—who hasworked with the Ministry of Chil-dren and Family Development foralmost three decades—has contin-ued to pour countless hours of hisfree time not only into local fast-pitch, but soccer as well, is that it’sgood for community.

“I just know how important com-munity is from my job because I seethe other side—the disadvantagedand the vulnerable teenagers, wherethere isn’t anything, where they can’tget involved in anything,” Dan says.“That just motivates you that youwant to have as healthy a commu-nity as you can.”

AWilliams Lake native whomoved to the Chilliwack area 25years ago, Dan grew up playingmostly hockey and still plays rectoday, but his son, Taylor, didn’t taketo the sport 17 years ago.

“He said, ‘No, dad, I don’t wantto play,’ and I told him I was going

to put him in foster care,” Dan sayswith the laugh.

Soon, however, his son was regis-tered in fastpitch and, like many aparent before him, Dan was ropedinto coaching.

All told, he coached his son for 12

years in the sport and 10 years insoccer, and he coached his daughterStacia for five years in ball and threein soccer.

Neither fastpitch nor soccer weresports Dan had played himself, andduring the course of his work with

the CMF board, he put together acomprehensive coach’s handbookfor parents, like him, who mightneed a little extra help gettingstarted.

“He’s always bringing up thehandbook,” Henrotte says with a

laugh, “so we’ve kind of made it athing where it’s Dan Bibby’s hand-book. It’s got all the things a coachwould need to know, right fromrules to how to set up the field towhat to do at a practice.”

After his first year of coachingfastpitch, Dan joined the CMF boardand has brought all his skills as asenior MCFD manager to bear forthe organization ever since.

He has served as both the vice-president of the girl’s program andas CMFA president, and in 2011 heorganized a provincial champion-ship tournament at Townsend Parkthat many considered the mostsuccessful in years, according toHenrotte.

Dan is at it again this year, head-ing up the committee to organizethe 2013 Bantam Provincial Cham-pionships this summer. It will takeorganizers about three months andhundreds of hours to plan the event.

Whether it’s organizing a bigtournament or just keeping CMFrunning smoothly, the toughest partis usually trying to convince already-busy adults to get involved and vol-unteer their time, Bibby says.

Luckily for CMF, they have a SportHero on board who’s willing to leadby example.

“Dan is just as busy as everybodyelse,” Henrotte said, “but he takesthe extra time and stays up late tomake sure that it gets done prop-erly.”


Dan Bibby was honoured at the 2013 Sport Heroes banquet last Wednesday night.

DAN BIBBY

David Soltys often viewsvolunteering throughthe prism of his travelsaround the world. This

larger-lens approach lends perspec-tive to the bounty we enjoy here in afirst-world country.

“I don’t want the next genera-tion to take for granted how gooda country we live in,” he explains.“I believe in setting the example ofservice to the next generation com-ing up. I see it as my civic duty andit also gives me a great feeling of sat-isfaction knowing that I’m making acontribution to my community.

“I think it’s important that peoplewho are considering taking on avolunteer role realize that there isa lot of room for skill building andself-improvement along the way. Itcan be a very rewarding experience.I know it has been for me.”

A two-term president of theChilliwack Minor Hockey Associa-tion (CMHA), David’s volunteerismhasn’t been confined to just theexecutive level. His many yearsbehind the bench coaching son Kaiand daughter Jasmine have givenhim a grassroots view of what isinvolved in running a large, all-vol-unteer sports organization.

Like most parent-coaches whoascend to the executive level,David was approached by friendsalready on the CMHA board whoasked him to join as a director. Hequickly discovered that runningan organization boasting 3,000members—including coaches,

parents, volunteers and 900 play-ers—requires a dedicated team.

David didn’t have to look farfor inspiration as past boardmembers continued to providesupport to the CMHA during histerms. People like Mel Voth andLawrence Kinch, who spent sixyears at the helm of the CMHA and

was a 2007 recipient of the Com-munity Sport Heroes award, wereinvaluable resources.

Among his contemporaries, Davidcites the work of colleagues likeJames Dick, Tracy Robertson andJanelle Rychtoswski as examples ofvolunteers who have provided par-ticularly long-term and outstanding

contributions.“I’m proud of the team I’ve been

a part of on the board,” he says. “Wemade some good improvementsfor minor hockey over the last fewyears.”

During his tenure, CMHA addedmore members to the board byupdating the constitution and

bylaws. A big focus has been onproviding more resources to edu-cate volunteers. They’ve created,revised and updated all the CMHAjob descriptions and volunteerhandbooks. They’ve also revisedand updated the policy manual,an undertaking David described asa “huge job” and one that first vice-president Tonya was instrumental inseeing through to completion.

CMHA also made big chang-es to its website, brought inonline registration and made greateruse of email and website stories toget information out to members.

“We have the very best volunteerbase in CMHA,” he is proud to say.

David’s volunteering hasn’t beenlimited to just minor hockey; hehas also spent many years coach-ing both his children in Chilliwack’sminor baseball system. As well,David served on the board for theHope Classic walk, jog and runevent for spina bifida for five years.

Maintaining a high level of volun-teerism means finding a source ofstrength and encouragement andthat’s something David doesn’t haveto look far to find.

“You do it for your kids, but yourfamily has to support you,” he says.

The CMHA member that sub-mitted David’s name for the SportHeroes Award says, “He has apositive attitude and a real pas-sion for development and fun insports. His motto is, ‘It’s all aboutthe kids’ and every decision hemakes is centred around this.”

With a name like his, it’sa given Ryan Mulli-gan’s favourite sportwould be golf, but it’s

his 19 years of service to the Chilli-wack Minor Lacrosse Association(CMLA) that has set him apart as aSport Hero.

Growing up in Hope, Ryanplayed every sport he could get hishands on, with golf taking up mostof his summers.

He didn’t know much aboutlacrosse until his mid-20s whenhe got a job at New Westminster’sQueens Park Arena, home ofthe legendary New WestminsterSalmonbellies.

“I didn’t even know whatlacrosse was to be honest withyou,” Ryan said.

Watching the best lacrosse inCanada, he would soon learn, buteven then he didn’t “catch the bug”and the game confused him.

“I didn’t fully understand howit was officiated,” he said. “WhatI thought was a penalty wasn’t apenalty and what I didn’t think wasa penalty was a penalty.”

Today, as head referee of CMLA,and after coaching about a dozenteams over the last 19 years, he’sgot a pretty decent handle on thegame.

That might never have hap-pened if his oldest son Brandonhadn’t wandered into Queen’s

Park Arena years back to watchthe Salmonbellies play while dadplayed slo-pitch at a park nextdoor.

After the family moved to Chilli-wack and it came time to sign theboy up for a sport, Brandon picked

lacrosse.Since then all three Mulligan

kids, Brandon, Colin and Nicole,have played the sport, and Ryanand his wife Barb have dedicatedcountless hours to the association.

(Barb won a Sport Hero Award

for her involvement as an orga-nizer in 2008.)

The boys, who are now 23 and19, have since moved on to high-level teams in New Westminsterand Langley, and daughter Nicolepreferred competitive swimming

to lacrosse. But Ryan has stayed onwith CMLA as head referee, pass-ing on his know-how to the associ-ation’s team of young referees.

“We have one of the best referee-ing corps in the Lower Mainland asfar as fairness,” says CMLA presi-dent Michael Ortutay, who nomi-nated Ryan as a Sport Hero. “Wealways get complimented aboutour referees, and that goes straightto Ryan.”

Look around the stands at Pros-pera Centre on game day, andyou’ll likely see Ryan up in thestands, keeping an eye on his offi-ciating protegés.

“It’s always about the develop-ment of the kids,” he says. “That’swhat I like to see. I like to challengethem and get them thinking abouthow they handle situations andthink through situations.”

He doesn’t always stay in thestands either, Michael says.

“He has no problem getting onthe floor with them and helpingthem on the floor,” he said. “If hesees them missing calls or stuff likethat, he’ll go down there, talk withthem, point things out to them.”

But Michael says that’s just thekind of guy Ryan is, always aroundto help people out.

“For a parent to put 19 years intothe association—his kids aren’teven there anymore—it takes aspecial person.”

How dedicated is ShelleyBeer to volunteering?Well, let’s just say shewas serious enough to

make it a part of her wedding day.“It was in our wedding vows, to

serve our community together andthat’s what we do,” she’s proud tosay.

Shelley’s long history of volun-teering with the Chilliwack Centrefor Excellence (CCE) started byhappenstance back in 1999 whenshe and good friend and 2005Sport Hero Award winner ShonnetAllen put their kids in the kayakpool sessions at the old CheamCentre.

As she puts it, “the kids neverstopped.”

Shelley’s boy Derek, and Shon-net’s sons Craig and Jon, forged alife-long friendship through thesport of whitewater kayaking. Sotoo, have Shelley and Shonnet.

Chilliwack is blessed with someof the country’s most challengingwhitewater as the Chilliwack Riverflows through an area known as theTamihi Rapids. This stretch of riverhas seen its fair share of nationaland provincial championships,most of which, have seen Shelleytake a key organizational role.

She co-organized the NationalTeam Trials in 2000, 2002, 2004 and2010 and the Canadian National

Championships in 2003, 2007 and2011.

“Good judging, and timingthat is accurate and results thatare posted as they come off thewater— that’s what Shelley has

provided,” says Shonnet. “Shel-ley has recruited volunteers whocan produce results quickly andefficiently. Shelley also made sureeach race was an event.”

Writing letters to obtain spon-

sorship for prizes and awards forathletes, arranging athlete pack-ages and even a daily newsletter atNationals that was emailed out forall athletes is also part of Shelley’slegacy to the sport.

And to top it off, Shelley took onthe role of treasurer for the provin-cial association of the time so thatthe provincial board was opera-tional for the local associations.

Many folks will never know thefull extent of Shelley’s work behindthe scenes, but many athletes andtheir families know of her warmheart and generosity when itcomes to opening up her home tothose involved in the sport.

“She has hosted parents who’veaccompanied their kids to trainingcamps,” says Shonnet. “Some ofthe athletes have stayed for severalyears, coming and going as theyattended camps and races.”

Feeding a table that often sawa dozen or more people, was nosmall feat, says Shelley.

“I can make a dish go round,boy oh boy,” she says. “I would gothrough three gallons of milk a day.You didn’t give them a juice box,you gave them a litre box.”

Whitewater kayaking isn’t forthe faint of heart. It’s often coldand competitions are held in areasrequiring a considerable drive to asite where few creature comfortsexist. The same level of dedica-tion required by the athlete is alsorequired by parents.

“If you don’t have a parent thatis devoted, you can’t do it,” Shelleysays.

“Congratulations to the 2013 winners of theChilliwack Sport Hero Awards. Your dedicationand enthusiasm help make Chilliwack a greatcommunity for all.”


Every sports group or volun-teer organization of any kindhas someone like Ian Paul.

And if they don’t, they couldreally use him.

Ian’s passion for dragon boatingemerged in the last decade and hasled him to become the glue thatkeeps the Fraser Valley Dragon BoatClub together.

“I’m there to back people upwhen they need help,” he humblyadmits when pressed about hiscommitment to the club.

“Ian’s hard work, enthusiasm andincredible number of volunteerhours have most definitely helpedthe club to become the successthat it is today,” says his Sport Heronominator, Ashala Palaniuk.

Ian joined the club in 2002 as afounding member.

His draw to the sport was seren-dipitous to be sure.

“It started with a phone call:‘Do you want to come out and dodragon boating?’ And I said, ‘What’sthat?’ From that moment on I’vebeen with it.”

For the past 11 years, Ian hasbeen actively involved with theclub, serving in various positionson the executive, acting as a keyplayer in organizing the juniorteam, serving on the regatta com-mittee and helping organize allaspects of the club’s activities.

He is also captain of his ownteam within the club called the

Pirates.Paul was born in Liverpool, Eng-

land and has lived near the waterhis entire life. And while he has onlybeen involved in dragon boatingsince immigrating to Canada, hehas returned to England to paddle

with the top Liverpool team andnever misses a chance to get in aboat wherever he is in the world.

“Every time I go on holiday, I tryand find a dragon boat team and goand paddle with them,” he says.

Dragon boating is a sport based

on the traditional Chinese culturalactivity practised for more than2,000 years. It emerged as an inter-national sport in Hong Kong in 1976and first came to Canada for Expo86, when six boats were brought toFalse Creek for demonstration.

Ian says it’s a great team sport,available for anybody of any ability.

“At our own regatta we hostevery year in Harrison we haveblind teams, a team called Gift ofLife made up of people with trans-plants. There is a multiple sclerosisteam, a youth team . . . lots of youthteams. Then of course don’t forgetthe breast cancer survivor teams. Itis a sport for everybody.”

The camaraderie and inclusive-ness keep Ian coming back to thewater again and again.

“The common denominator isthe fact that everyone is there forthe same thing: they love to pad-dle,” he says.

“We always say to people whoare thinking of trying it, there is nocharge, no obligation and we sup-ply all you need.

“Just come out and give it a go.”

The Cheam Skating Club is inKim Kelly’s blood.

More than 40 years after her par-ents laced up her first pair of figureskates, Kim is doing what she can tomake sure other Chilliwack young-sters have the same opportunity.

As a young skater, Kim wasn’texactly a star. She liked skatingenough—especially the carnivals inwhich the skaters got to dress up—but she didn’t quite have the nerveto perform the spins and leapsrequired to go far. Instead, she tookher dance tests, then drifted awayfrom the sport in her late teens.

But while her time on the ice mayhave been unspectacular, her workas a Cheam Skating Club volunteerhas stood out from the pack.

More than a decade ago, Kimreturned to the rink after thedaughters of her sister (and fellowSport Hero) Krista Reimer beganskating.

Kim quickly became a key partof the Cheam volunteer corps andhas since served in a variety of roleswith the club, from treasurer toCanSkate liaison to registrar to ice-show volunteer.

For Kim, who now has twodaughters skating with the club,volunteering is a fun activity thatcomes with a sense of duty.

Having watched her own parentshelp out during her time skating,Kim feels a responsibility to herdaughters, to the club, and to thesport.

“You do feel that obligation to

carry on,” she says.And at the skating club each

volunteer is vital to its continuedexistence, with jobs plenty androles fluid.

“Sometimes we don’t have a fullexecutive so you’re kind of a jack ofall trades,” she says.

That can present challenges. Kimbecame the club’s treasurer after a

year in which the position had beenvacant, with other members han-dling the necessities.

2011 Sport Hero Sharon Dahl, alongtime volunteer with the club,says Kim quickly took charge.

“She got onto the executive whenthings were a little bit in disorgani-zation and disarray and got themorganized,” says Dahl, who nomi-

nated both Kim and her sister. “Shegot it all organized, got the filingsystem all organized and did a fan-tastic job getting things together.”

A lot has changed since Kim washerself a skater, but she still tries tomodel her work as a volunteer onthe contributions of her parents,Al and Norma, who both served onthe Cheam Skating Club executive.

Dahl says Kim and her sister havedone their parents proud.

“They come from a long line ofvolunteers,” she said. “No matterwhat one of the sisters was doing ,they always brought along anotherone.”

For Kim, being a parent providesa new way to enjoy the sport ofskating—without the risks shefeared during her own time on theice.

“They’re more brave and willingto do the jumps that I was neverwilling or had a desire to do,” shesays. “I love that they are willing todo that.”

That they are able to do so isbecause of generations of volun-teers like Kim who have pouredthemselves into the Cheam SkatingClub and aren’t about to stop now.

“I don’t want to see this club failafter how many years,” Kim says.“My heart and soul is in this club.”

For Krista Reimer, figureskating has always been acombination of reward andresponsibility.

It started from a young age,when Krista would twirl on the iceand shine in front of the crowdduring carnival.

That was the reward; but it wasjoined by a deep sense of responsi-bility, dedication and volunteerismlearned from her parents, both ofwhom were heavily involved withthe the Cheam Skating Club.

So when Krista’s daughters firsthit the ice more than two decadesago, there was no question aboutwhether their mother would alsobe involved.

And along with her sister, andfellow Sport Hero, Kim Kelly, Kristaquickly learned just why her par-ents—and her grandparents beforethem—had been so active in theskating community.

“I just love to do it because I lovewhat it gives back for the kids,”she says. “For me, it’s being able towatch those little ones go out there. . . and achieve their goals andachieve the dreams they have intheir minds.”

Krista is also a firm believer inthe value of figure skating beyondthe rink.

“It’s a life skill,” she says. “I thinksports are very important for thesimple fact you learn a responsi-bility and how to plan and how toorganize your life . . . . You have to

be dedicated to the sport, as wellas to school.”

Over the course of a decade anda half on the Cheam Skating Club’sexecutive, Krista put her ownskills into practice by serving in anumber of roles including stints aspresident, vice-president, ice and

facilities and professional liaison.Krista says she was proud of the

steps taken by the club during thattime—at its peak, the club boasted350 members. “I felt we were ableto accomplish a lot in bringingback the sport to our community,”she says.

Longtime volunteer and 2011Sport Hero Sharon Dahl says Kristaplayed a pivotal role at a crucialtime in the club’s history.

“The club was going throughmajor growing pains and we hadan entire turnover of executivemembers,” says Dahl, who nomi-

nated Krista and her sister. “Kristastepped up to the plate and gotpeople to actually run for the exec-utive and got an executive in place.

“She stayed with it, doing every-thing imaginable.”

Many of those jobs were of theunglamorous sort without whichsporting organizations cannot suc-ceed.

“We’ve spent days on her base-ment floor cutting out carnivalcostumes, making props, paintingfish and making all sorts of stuff,”Dahl remembers.

With her children in their 20s,Krista has since taken a step backfrom the executive but she contin-ues to volunteer at competitionsand around carnival time. She hasalso passed on the volunteeringbug to her daughters, Brittany andKaylene.

And while many parent volun-teers find themselves rudderlessafter their children grow up, Kris-ta’s nieces—a decade younger thanher own daughters—have renewedher connection to the sport.

“I still feel like I’m still involved.The joy hasn’t changed at all,” shesays. “I still enjoy watching kidsjust enjoy what they’re doing—andalso looking at their outfits.”

She says it’s doubly nice to beable to do all that with her sisterand share a common goal “to seethe club survive for many moreyears to come, to have other young-sters have their dreams fulfilled.”

KRISTA REIMER

Mike McLatchy mightnot be responsible forthe success his daugh-ters had in sport but

he hopes to be responsible for thesuccess of others.

Mike is now coaching soccer tothe third group of young girls hehas followed through the variouslevels of Chilliwack FC over closeto two decades.

And while his daughters startedhim coaching, they quickly movedon to other activities with greatsuccess.

His daughter Jenna won a goldmedal in wrestling at the 2011Junior Pan American Champion-ships in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

And daughter Sarah had successin sport, moving on to music andbecoming part of the world-cham-pionship winning Simon FraserUniversity Pipe Band.

Mike just wants to give parentsand young athletes a taste of whathe had as the parent of successfulsporting kids.

“They got to levels in differentsports and different levels of com-petition where they were given areally good opportunity by hav-ing really good coaches and goodmentors, which took them to thenext level,” he said.

When Mike started coaching hisdaughter, he followed her throughthe various age levels until she“graduated” from Chilliwack FC.

Then he signed on as a non-par-ent coach with a new set of girlsand carried those players throughU11 to U18. This meant the girlsthat stuck with it didn’t have tore-engage with a new coach everyyear.

“That way they build a sense of

security and a sense of commit-ment,” he says. “And because youare not a parent, you have to takeit a little more seriously. You’re notjust showing up because your kidsare there.”

For Mike it’s all about teambonding and having the girls expe-

rience what his daughters did.As anyone who has played sports

knows, there are highs and lows incompetition but for Mike the cupis always half full.

“I like parents and kids to be able toexperience the thrill of winning andthe learning from defeat,” he says.

As for the state of soccer inChilliwack, Mike says it’s amazing,something he credits to the workof the Chilliwack FC board.

“Chilliwack soccer has cometenfold,” he says. “It’s on the rise.Chilliwack soccer is able to pro-duce some of the top players in thevalley. We always have sought-afterkids.”

That said, he happily recom-mends the sport to parents consid-ering what to put children into.

“Chilliwack has made it reallyaccessible to play at any level.”

Mike is on his third group ofgirls, and local soccer parents willbe disappointed to know that thismight be his last. Coaching is ahuge time commitment and hewill be missed.

“Mike is a great ambassador forChilliwack FC,” says Andrea Lay-cock who nominated Mike for theSport Hero Award. “We appreci-ate all he has done for us over theyears.”

Chilliwack secondary’s Nicole Verdonk edges past a Terry Fox defender during Fraser Valleysenior girls playoff action at Townsend Park Thursday.


After going undefeated in the regularseason, both of Chilliwack’s triple-Ahigh school girls soccer teams were

knocked out of the Fraser Valley Champion-ships last week.

Chilliwack secondary, which finished firstin the Fraser Valley East division after the reg-ular season and entered the tournament asthe number-three seed, dropped a close con-test to Terry Fox 1-0 Thursday and another 1-0game to Clayton Heights Friday.

“We have played so well for solong and it seems some of ourluck ran out,” Storm coach ShaneMummery told the Times.

He called this year’s squad oneof the most talented girls teamshe had ever coached at CSS.

Besides finishing undefeated inleague play, the team also wentundefeated in two tournaments, rackingup a total of 24 goals for and only four goalsagainst all season.

Mummery gave special credit to graduatingStorm captain Dana Broadbent, who came tothe team in Grade 9 and hasn’t missed a gameor practice in four years.

“Her dedication, hard work and determina-tion has taught the younger players what itmeans to play for Chilliwack Storm soccer,”

Mummery said.Sardis, meanwhile, bought a little time with

a dramatic 2-1 overtime win over CentennialThursday.

The Falcons faced elimination in the dou-ble-knockout tournament because of anopening round loss.

By the end of a hard-fought back-and-forthbattle, the score stayed knotted 1-1 until justtwo minutes before the end of the secondovertime period, when Madison Tetz burieda breakaway pass from Mckenzie Hildebrand.

The injury-plagued Falcons couldn’t staveoff elimination Friday againstHeritage Woods, though, andwent down 2-0.

The game was scoreless lateinto the second half when Heri-tage Woods scored on a break-away.

The Falcons countered withtwo good chances from defend-er-turned-striker Justine Chiba

but couldn’t tie it up.Heritage Woods then sealed Falcon’s fate

with a second goal while most of the Sardisside had pushed up for the equalizer.

“The girls fought very hard, and it was ashame that I had so many starters hurt orsick,” Coach Richard Tagle said. “Overall I wasproud of our team for the good year they hadbut of course disappointed for the girls thatthey didn’t qualify for the provincials.”

Undefeated seasons cometo an early end in playoffs

keep an open mind.“Let’s be committed to

working with the school dis-trict to get EFI started,” shesaid. “Try driving to the pro-posed locations, talk to thosein your area that are inter-ested and see about workingout a carpooling network ifCheam, A.D. Rundle or evenRosedale is too far for you togo on a daily basis.”

According to projections inTuesday’s report, the EFI pro-gram would cost the district$3.9 million over the first fiveyears.

It would start with 40students, two classes, twoteachers and one educationassistant (EA), and see the

addition of one teacher andhalf an EA position every year.

The program wouldn’t getany new funding from theprovince, but it would bringin a $15,000 federal grant forresources.

in votes received than they are to theLiberals or NDP—put a particularemphasis on speaking for constitu-ents and the fact that neither has aparty whip.

These constitute conscious effortsto break out of the party mould,according to Telford.

“But there are others who want togo even further than that and theremight even be some who would liketo see a no-party democracy,” hesaid. “That, I think, is romantic anddangerously misleading.”

Dangerous because that is themethod used in countries where

dictatorships have been made todemocratize by external forces.When this is done and when elec-tions are forced to be conductedwith no political parties, that ensurespeople cannot band together in effi-cient ways. And what often emergesis a power structure where the mili-tary or a new dictator takes over.

“Politics really is a team sport,”Telford said.

Fringe candidates typically receivein the one per cent range in terms ofvotes. In the 2012 Chilliwack-Hopebyelection, Libertarian candidateLewis Dahlby received 145 votes orone per cent.

In2009,perennialcandidateDoro-

thy-Jean O’Donnell received 93 votes(0.55 per cent) for the People’s Frontin Chilliwack-Hope. (O’Donnell hasrun numerous times for the People’sFront provincially and the Marxist-Leninists federally in various ridingssince 1988, never receiving even oneper cent of the vote.)

In 2005, the two local ridings hadcandidates for the Moderates andthe Youth Coalition, the most suc-cessful of whom garnered 266 votes.

But probably the most successfulfringe party in recent history locallyis the Marijuana Party.

After Marc Emery’s failed bid in2001 to win a seat in the federal elec-tion for his Canadian Marijuana

Party, the B.C. pot activist turned hissights on provincial politics with thegoal of running candidates in all 79ridings in the province.

In Chilliwack-Kent, MarijuanaParty candidate David Ferguson gar-nered 968 votes, or 5.25 per cent, fora fourth place finish behind LarryCommodore and the Green Party,who finished with 8.19 per cent.

In Chilliwack-Sumas, the Mari-juana man was Norm Siefken, whoearned 1,130 votes or six per cent ofthe total.

The BC Conservatives and theGreens, in addition to some ofthese fringe party candidates, couldreceive actual seats if the province

moved to a proportional representa-tion electoral system.

Many are skeptical of pro-rep asit creates more parties and forcescoalitions for leadership.

Telford isn’t as skeptical, point-ing to successful democracies inGermany and Switzerland, both ofwhich have pro-rep governments.

He points to Canada’s federal gov-ernment as an example.

“The Stephen Harper Conserva-tives received 39 per cent support.Meaning 61 per cent hated themfrom day one. Whereas the govern-ment of Switzerland is led by a four-party coalition representing 80 percent of the populaiton.”

Chilliwack had one ofthe fastest-growingmid-sized economies

in all of Canada between 2005and 2012, according to a newreport issued by the Confer-ence Board of Canada.

The report entitled Mid-Sized Cities Outlook 2013found Chilliwack had averageannual increases in GDP of6.2 per cent, bucking trendsacross the country.

While the recession in 2008hit the entire country hard,the report included Chilli-wack on a list of six cites that“literally roared out of thegate following the recession,expanding by more than fiveper cent in 2010 alone.”

Duncan was the only othercity in British Columbia onthat list.

The report was funded inpart by eight Canadian mid-sized cities: Fredericton,Sept-Iles, Rimouski, Granby,Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu,Brandon, Lethbridge and RedDeer.

The report includes a reviewof economic indicators of all46 mid-sized Canadian citieswhere comprehensive dataare available from StatisticsCanada.

A “mid-sized” city is basedon Statistics Canada’s defini-tion of a census agglomera-tion (CA). A CA must have acore population of at least10,000 and adjacent munici-palities “must have a highdegree of integration with thecore.”

The report found that

nearly half of all 46 mid-sizedCanadian cities have still notrecovered all jobs lost duringthe recession.

“The employment picturehas been uneven among Can-ada’s mid-sized cities over thepast decade or so,” said Mario

Lefebvre, director of the Cen-tre for Municipal Studies. “Atotal of 21 cities have yet tosee their employment levels

return to pre-recession lev-els. This is a troubling turn ofevents, given that these mid-sized cities play an important

role as economic engines intheir respective regions.”

C h i l l i w a c k , h ow e v e r,bucked the trend and is coast-ing along remarkably well bycomparison, according to thereport.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Rodney Peter Spenst passed awaysuddenly onWednesday May 8th atChilliwack General Hospital at the ageof 54. He was born November 3rd, 1958to Jacob and Hilda Spenst in Chilliwack.Rod is survived by his loving wife of 35years Alicia Spenst, his mother HildaSpenst, his children: Andrea and Bob,Lisa and Tina, Daniel and Candase. He is

also survived by his 7 grandchildren Danina, Chance, Silas, Jadeyn,Xander, Kayleen and Allison. He is survived by his only sister Pat(Rudy) Loewen and nephews Matthew (Thereasa) Loewen andAndrew Loewen who he was very close with. He is also survivedby brothers and sister-in-laws: Bill (Yvette) Hawryluk, Gean (Roger)Reihl, Carl (Carol) Hawryluk, Dina (Bill) Turlock, Andy (Joan) Hawryluk,Gloria Hawryluk, Rick (Thea) Hawryluk and numerous nieces andnephews. He was predeceased by his father Jacob Spenst andhis grandson Theodore Spenst. A Celebration of Life will be heldWednsday May 15th at 2:00 at Eden Mennonite Church followed bya tea where all are welcome to share stories.Rod already knew the career path he was destined for, carpentry,by the age of 18. The pride he took in his work was apparent to alland his reputation exceeded him. He shared his knowledge withfamily members he brought to the sites, apprenticed many andworked with his daughter Lisa for 10 years. He rode motorcycles,cooked exotic meals, was an avid reader, enjoyed coffee nights withbuddies and travelled but nothing brought him more joy than hisfamily. He married his high school sweetheart and the love of hislife in 1978 and they welcomed two daughters and a son. Thesechildren brought spouses and many friends that Rod embraced ashis own. In 2001, Rod officially added “Papa” to his resume, and thejob rapidly became busier over the years. Rarely did a weekend goby without grandchildren filling his house with laughter and vyingfor the best spot on his knee.We know that God has a plan for us and Rod was called homeearlier than we expected.Pages and pages could be written about Rod without doing himjustice. He was a private man with many layers. He will be loved anddeeply missed by many.In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation andChildren’s Hospital in Rod’s name would be greatly appreciate.

SPENST, Rod
