CHILLIWACK EXHIBITION WELL . . . WHAT DO YOU THINK?

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

From agriculture to Indianaffairs to transportation,Chilliwack-Fraser CanyonMP Chuck Strahl’s role in

the Conservative government cabi-net has shifted yet again.

Strahl said he wasn’t looking fora job change this summer, but hewas hit with a big one as PrimeMinister Stephen Harper had to fillthe vacancy left by retiring govern-ment House leader Jay Hill.

“I wasn’t looking for a change;

things were fine in my departmentand the same goes for John Baird,”Strahl told the Times over thephone from Ottawa Friday. “Butclearly there was a vacancy thatneeded to be filled.”

Strahl was predicted by somepundits to be Hill’s replacementas House leader since he has heldthe job before, but Harper pickedBaird and selected the local MP for

transportation, infrastructure andcommunities.

“From my perspective thesethings are always a surprise,”Strahl said of the cabinet shuffle. “Ithought maybe I’d get to be Houseleader. I have been House leaderbefore but also knew John Bairdhas done that at Queen’s Park so hehas experience.”

As for whether the move was a

demotion, a promotion or a lateralmove, Strahl wouldn’t say.

“I don’t know if it’s up or down orsideways but obviously I’m pleasedto serve in any capacity,” he said.“I wasn’t looking for the move, butthis will be a very challenging one.There is lots of action in everythingfrom national transportation andlong-term vision to infrastructureand what gets approved where.”

As for his replacement in the INACportfolio he has held since 2007, thechoice of Vancouver Island NorthMP John Duncan makes things asseamless as possible.

Duncan was Strahl’s parliamen-tary secretary and so has experi-ence on the file.

When asked if the choice ofBaird—known to be aggressivein the House—was Harper’s wayof picking a fight, Strahl said as aminority government there wouldbe no point in doing so.

Chilliwack residents canbreathe easy knowing thatan air quality advisory forthe Lower Mainland hasbeen lifted.

Increased atmosphericmixing coupled with rainshowers on Saturdayallowed local governmentand health officials to liftthe warning, which hadbeen in place since lastWednesday.

Still, Chilliwack may notbe out of the smoke yet.A Metro Vancouver pressrelease noted that “forestfire activity in other areasof the province remainsa concern. If the weatherchanges and smoke causesthe air quality to dete-riorate again, another airquality advisory may beinitiated.”

Alittle rain didn’t seemto hurt the ChilliwackExhibition, as thou-

sands packed into Chilli-wack Heritage Park over theweekend.

While exact numbers werenot yet known on Monday,event co-ordinator WendiPrinse said early indicationswere that while attendancewas down a little on Satur-day, higher than expectednumbers on Friday helpedthe fair.

“We’re really pleased. Inspite of the rain on Satur-day, it looks like our atten-dance numbers are up,” saidPrinse.

She estimates that around25,000 people took in thefair, which included a BCRARodeo, agricultural exhibi-tions, music, a midway anddozens of other attractions.

And for organizers and

Chilliwack residents whohad been labouring duringdays of hot, muggy weather,the rain was actually a relief.

“It had been so hot andso muggy, we saw peopleand they were outside withumbrellas in the rain,” saidPrinse.

The fair officially kicked offwith a celebrity goat-milkingcompetition—won with easeby Chilliwack MLA John Les,who filled his bucket andthen some.

But for the real star power,you had to take in the TeamRoping competition in theRodeo, during which Mon-treal Canadiens goaltenderCarey Price, who hails fromAnahim Lake in the Cariboo,traded his skates in for cow-boy boots and his stick for alasso to compete.

“I know we had someenthusiastic fans who werecoming just to see him inthe roping competition,”said Prinse.

Jan Blackmore (left) bid her hair goodbye Saturday during a fundraiser in support of Joshua Ismirnioglou. Josh-ua and mother Cheryl (left) were able to visit, bringing tears to the eyes of Blackmore and other participants.

A loving KISS for JoshuaWo r k e r s f r o m Fo rd

Mountain Correction-al Centre raised more

than $5,000 Saturday to help an11-year-old boy fight cancer.

The benefit, in the Save-OnFood parking lot, surpassedorganizers’ goals, despite asteady drizzle. That rain mayhave caused the KISS-stylemakeup of five head shaverecipients to run, but it was theappearance of Joshua Ismirnio-glou that caused tears to flow.

Organizer Jan Blackmore,who had her long purple locksshaved to raise money, waspleased with the turnout andthe donations from the public.

“O u r g o a l w a s t o ra i s e$5,000,” said Blackmore. “Weare currently at $5,002.62 withmore money to come. Consid-

ering the weather, I am thrilledwith this result.”

Ismirnioglou was diagnosedwith cancer just before Christ-mas last year.

Donations can be madeat Envision Financial CreditUnion to Account No. 12807,for Joshua Ismirnioglou.

Mounties found pot,ecstasy and hashishin a Rosedale home

last Wednesday.Members of the RCMP’s drug

section seized 1,360 marijuanaplants from a home on Royal-wood Boulevard in Rosedale.Police had obtained a search

warrant through a theft ofelectricity investigation.

Mounties also seized hashishand “numerous Ecstasy pills”along with an undisclosedamount of money.

Worryingly, they also founda hydro bypass that an electri-cian said was just days from

catching fire. The electricaldiversion had begun to failand had already scorched thewall and surrounding pipes.

“This is another of the manyreasons that marijuana growoperations pose a significantrisk to the community andthose who operate them,” said

Const. Bryan Martell.A man and a woman, both of

Rosedale, were arrested at thehome.

Both face charges for pro-ducing drugs, possession forthe purpose of trafficking andtheft of electricity.

The man who died fishing in the Chilli-wack River last week had come tothe Fraser Valley for a “dream holi-

day,” according to Chilliwack RCMP, whichreleased the fisherman’s name Monday.

David Bennetts, 63, perished when his hipwaders filled with water and he was draggedinto the river current last Wednesday.

Bennetts was an avid fisherman, andhe and his wife were visiting Canada fromEngland, according to RCMP spokesperson

Tracy Wolbeck. The Bennetts had rented amotorhome in Langley and had planned onvacationing in the Upper Fraser Valley untilthe end of August.

Police praised the volunteers with VictimServices for springing into action once Ben-netts’s wife was informed of her husband’sdeath.

“Abandoning personal commitments, theVictim Services volunteers were with Mrs.Bennetts for five days assisting her in mak-ing arrangements, contacting her familyand making sure she was occupied until shecould get a flight home to England,” Wolbecksaid. “Victim Services plays an invaluablerole in our community and this is a perfectexample of that.

“This was such a tragic event to thiswoman, but our volunteers opened up theirhomes to her and made her feel part of theirfamily.”

The body of a man who drowned in Har-rison Lake after his sailboat capsized last

month has been recovered.The 50-year-old man, whose name has not

been released, was found in the Fraser River

near Mission on Thursday by a member ofthe public.

He and his son had been sailing July 10when their boat flipped. Neither man waswearing a lifejacket.

“The terrain in that area isa mix between being denseforest and huge areas ofclearing mostly comprisedof mostly rock face andit looks like he venturedout onto this rock face. .. and he lost his footing,”said Abbotsford Pol iceDepartment spokesmanConst. Ian MacDonald.

Although it may not havemade a difference in thiscase, MacDonald said peopleshould always let othersknow if they plan to ventureout into the outdoors alone.

“I don’t know if hiking with a partnerwould’ve made a difference. . .but certainlyfor individuals to let people know where

they’re going, only if it’sfor a day hike. . .I think it’sjust a good practice foreverybody.”

Demorest was reportedmissing last Tuesday and hadnot been seen since July 26.

His vehicle was spottedb y a h i k e r j u s t d a y sa f t e r h e w a s re p o r t e dmissing. MacDonald witht h e A b b o t s f o rd Po l i c eDepartment said foul playdoes not appear to be afactor in this case, althoughthe investigation is stillongoing.

M a c D o n a l d s a i d t h eDemorest family has helped

throughout the investigation.“[The family] has been extraordinary,” said

MacDonald.

On Tuesday morning, the flagof the United Nations wasraised above city hall to mark

National Peacekeepers’ Day, but for-mer blue beret Joe Smith didn’t joinhis comrades at the ceremony.

For Smith, who served as a cookwith the Canadian Military Engi-neers, Aug. 9 is a tough day.

The reason it was picked as theday for Canadians to remembertheir peacekeepers is because it wason Aug. 9, 1974 that Canadian Forcesexperienced their greatest single lossof lives on a peacekeeping mission.

Nine Canadians died when theirplane was shot down over Syriaduring their tour with the UnitedNations Emergency Force in Egyptand Israel.

Smith was supposed to have beenon that plane.

“He got bumped at the last min-ute, and shortly after, he found outthere was a complete loss of life onthat plane that he was supposed tohave been on,” said Jim Harris, a fel-low former blue beret speaking to acrowd at city hall.

Harris is familiar with the kindof psychological wounds that keptSmith away from the ceremony.

“My wife won’t even sleep withme now because of the nightmaresand the thrashing about that I do atnight,” he said in an interview withthe Times. “Even when the peace-keeping duty is over and done with,you walk awayfrom it but youstill have it. It’sstill inside you.”

C a n a d abecame involvedi n m i l i t a r yobser ver mis-sions in the late1940s during theArab-Israeli andthe India-Paki-stan conflicts.

In t h e e a r l y1950s, Canadajoined other UNnations duringthe Korean War, but it wasn’t until1956 that the term peacekeepingentered the popular vocabulary,thanks to Lester B. Pearson. Heapproved the first UN peacekeep-ing mission in 1956, and Canada’srole as a world leader in peacekeep-ing has been a part of our national

mythology ever since.Peacekeepers, which include not

just Canadian Forces personnelbut the RCMP and provincial andmunicipal police forces, deliverhumanitarian aid, supervise elec-

tions, repatriaterefugees, trainlocal police forc-es, disarm war-ring factions andclear mines.

Over the pastt w o d e c a d e s ,C a n a d a h a sdeployed moret h a n 2 , 5 0 0p e a c e k e e p e r sto 50 missionsa r o u n d t h eworld.

H a r r i s w a sdeployed to the

bloody war in the former Yugoslaviain 1992.

Although he had taken part in thefirst Gulf War in 1990, he said thepeacekeeping mission in Yugoslaviawas far more intense.

“On average in Yugoslavia you werein life-threatening situations three,

four, five times a week,” he said.The danger was often multiplied

because it wasn’t always clear whothe belligerents were—somethingHarris said is a constant challengefor peacekeepers.

Another thing that haunts manywho wear the blue beret is the feel-ing they are abandoning people inwar-torn countries when they leave.

“You wish you could do more,”said Harris.

The emotional toll on peacekeep-ers is only starting to be widely rec-ognized, according to Harris, whohas himself been diagnosed withpost traumatic stress disorder andnow helps other veterans cope withtheir emotional wounds through aprogram based out of UBC.

National Peacekeepers’ Day isimportant to Harris because it rec-ognizes the physical and emotionalsacrifices of the world’s peacekeep-ers, whom he describes as “angels.”

“They go over into countries thatare at war and they put themselvesinto harm’s way for people that theydon’t even know,” he said, “and theydie and get wounded and they getmentally hurt.”

“John is, you may haveseen in the House, a partisancommunicator, no doubtabout it, but I don’t thinkhe’s picking a fight,” Strahlsaid. “We don’t control theagenda in the House any-way. . . . When you don’t havea majority you can’t play thetough guy.

“You are kicking sand inthe face of a guy with a big-ger sand pile.”

The shuffle comes one dayafter a public-opinion pollrevealed an 11-point drop inpopular support for the gov-erning Conservative party,putting them in a virtual tiewith the opposition leaders.However, Harper told hiscaucus on Thursday that thegovernment did not want tohead into a fall election.

Chilliwack real estate has hit thewall.

Residential home sales in Chilli-wack and district for July weredown 43.5 per cent from the samemonth last year and 36 per centfrom last month.

There were just 87 single familyhomes and 144 total homes sold inJuly 2010, which compares to 255

sold in July 2009 and 224 in June2010.

But Chilliwack is not alone in thetrend as sales in Lower Mainlandmarkets saw the slowest July in adecade.

There is often a slowdown insummer and new mortgage rulescoupled with higher interest ratescould have had an impact. Butmany realtors blame the July 1implementation of the Harmo-nized Sales Tax (HST) despite the

fact fear of the tax is “unfounded,”according to the president of theChilliwack and District Real EstateBoard (CADREB), Kyle Hislop.

“HST doesn’t even apply to resalehomes, the same way that the for-mer GST did not,” said Hislop ina press release. “The new tax doesapply to new construction homes,but on a sliding scale.”

And because of lower homeprices in Chilliwack, buyers willrarely get dinged with HST. For

new homes valued under $350,000,maximum federal and provin-cial rebates apply, according toCADREB. For homes between$350,000 and $450,000 the maxi-mum provincial rebate appliesand the federal rebate is calculatedon a sliding scale. On homes over$450,000, the maximum provincialrebate applies.

Realtors do like to put a positivespin on either a hot or a sluggishmarket, and the latest numbers are

no exception.“It’s definitely a buyers’ market,

and as you can imagine, there aresome great deals out there,” saidHislop. “With over 1,700 homescurrently listed, buyers have awide array of choice and pricepoints. Typically, activity increasesas fall approaches, so if you are inthe market for a new or move-uphome, it’s a perfect time to jump inbefore there is upward pressure onprices.”

The Chilliwack Times is adivision of Postmedia Commu-nity Publishing, located at 45951Trethewey Ave., Chilliwack, B.C.

Evan Erar, the Americanhumourist, once referred tostatistics as “the only science

that enables different experts usingthe same figures to draw differ-ent conclusions.” Famed hockeycoach Scotty Bowman was prob-ably more to the point when heclaimed, “statistics are for losers.”

In any event, it must be a slownews cycle because statistics aredominating the media these days.Statisticians and the country’s jour-nalists have blown a gasket aboutthe government’s plans to modifythe way data is collected in the longform census. On the upside, thingsmust be going pretty nice if chang-es to the census is being talked ofas a national crisis.

Apparently the folks working atStatistics Canada are taking thenews so hard that morale is infreefall. Hey guys, if things are sotough, you can always walk awayfrom your government protectedjob for life, guaranteed pension, 17bankable sick days a year and giveit a go in the private sector.

But the bigger controversyaround statistics is the recentlyreleased so-called “crime rate” andwhat, if anything, it actually means.

Once again, Abbotsford-Missionwas given the dubious distinctionof being Canada’s murder capital;a claim so ludicrous that it doesn’teven warrant discussion.

Something that does requirefurther analysis, however, is theconclusion from Statistics Canadathat crime rates are in decline.

According to the official numbers,there were 920 violent crimes per100,000 people in 2009 comparedto 936 in 2008.While this may beencouraging, it’s critical that weremember these numbers onlyrefer to crimes reported to police.There are several indicators thatfewer people, for a variety of rea-sons, are willing to report criminalvictimization than in the past.

Nonetheless, according to thefederal Liberals, academics, anda host of other apologists for thecriminal class, this is irrefutableevidence that crime is no longera concern and the government’splans to crack down on violent,repeat offenders should be imme-diately disposed of.

OK, let’s all pretend that thereported meager decline from 2008to 2009 is 100 per cent accurate.Even if that was the case, it stillmust be noted that violent crime ismore than 300 per cent higher thanit was in 1962 when we started col-lecting such statistics. Similarly,while the soft-on-crime brigadenever misses an opportunity tonote that property crime has alsobeen declining in recent years, theystrategically fail to mention that it’s

still almost 60 per cent higher thanwas the situation in 1962.

If we throw it all together we seethat Canada’s official overall crimerate decreased from 6,615 offencesper 100,000 population in 2008 to6,406 in 2009. But that’s still morethan twice the 1962 rate of 2,771reported crimes. So why isn’t thisall important fact being reported?

Probably no single constituencyis more negligent and reckless inthis deliberate oversight than thecountry’s criminologists. It seemsevery journalist across the landhas the same dozen criminology“experts” in their list of contactsthey always turn to for insight-ful commentary each year whenStatistics Canada releases theofficial crime rate numbers. Likeclockwork, they rattle off the lat-est stats as absolute proof that theConservative’s “get tough on crime”agenda is ill-advised and assureus there’s no crime problem what-soever.Without exception, everycriminologist quoted in the majormedia following the release of thelatest numbers showing a threeper cent decline in overall crime,avoided making a long term com-parison to the situation in 1962.

It would seem, for this crew,opposing a Conservative govern-ment is much, much more impor-tant than even a semblance ofintegrity.

Putting avalue onhuman lifeF

ormer Vancouver mayor PhillipOwen said it best last Friday whenhe was interviewed by the mediaon the Pickton case: “What a big

mess.”Last week, gruesome details emerged

after materials under a publication banwere released to the media. There’s nopoint in repeating them all here—butwhat does bear repeating is the one thatcould have made all the difference. Backin 1997, one of Pickton’s chosen victimsescaped after defending herself with aknife. Both Pickton and she ended up inthe same hospital. Their bloody clotheswere taken as evidence and then someonedecided that the victim would not havebeen a credible witness and the case didnot proceed to court. That evidence stayedin a locker for seven years before some-one, apparently, went looking for it.

Last week before all of this informationwas released to the public, a spokesper-son for the Vancouver Police Departmentapologized on behalf of the police forcefor not catching Pickton sooner. We cannow appreciate that he was probablyaware of all the information that wasabout to surface—and that it would notput the police or prosecutors in a goodlight. But, it is also clear that the VPD canonly share some of the blame for letting amonster continue to kill innocent women.Where are the apologies from prosecutorsor other police jurisdictions? And where isthe accounting for what turned out to be apivotal error in the case.

There are understandable cries for apublic inquiry into the whole mess. Butwill this reveal anything we don’t alreadyknow? Marginalized women, such as pros-titutes, simply don’t get the same time orrespect from police and authorities. Nosurprise there. Will an inquiry result inchanges to a system that is, for the mostpart, merely reflecting society’s view ofthese women?

Perhaps an inquiry will reveal individu-als in the policing and judicial system,who, through neglect or indifference,botched up the case. But we believe thatthe problem lies deeper than missedevidence—it resides in a society that stillviews some people as more valuable thanothers.

Justin said that it was thealternator and amazinglyoffered to go find a replace-ment part and to fix the carout of the goodness of hisheart. My car now worksgreat. Thank you Justin; youcompletely made my dayand your kindness will notbe forgotten.

Keep surveysvoluntaryEditor:

Re: Making the long formcensus voluntary.

Statistics Canada con-ducts voluntary surveys onsuch important topics asthe health of Canadians.The “Canadian Commu-nity Health Survey,” con-ducted on a regular basis,gathers health data at thesub-provincial level and iscompletely voluntary. Thissurvey purports to gatherinformation on a hugerange of health factors,presumably as a basis fordecisions on health policiesbut does not appear to becompulsory in any way.

If statisticians are happywith voluntary surveys onsomething as important asthe health of Canadians,why are they all in a panicover making the long formcensus voluntary?

Climate ourman on moonEditor:

I can’t believe it’s been 41years since astronauts NeilArmstrong and Buzz Aldrinfirst set foot on the moon.Landing men on the moonin the summer of ’69 wasan amazing technologicalachievement and it broughtthe world together in auniversal moment of trium-phant celebration.

The array of resourcesand brilliant minds put inplace to accomplish thisamazing feat was unprec-edented and it’s exactly thekind of all-out effort weneed to put in place now tosolve the issue of climate

change and get the worldoff fossil fuels like coal.

Considering the amazingtechnological accomplish-ment that landing two menon the moon represents,it’s a sad state of affairs that41 years later most of theworld has still not managedto get beyond the indus-trial revolution era and isstill burning coal to makeelectricity, particularly ourAmerican neighbours whowon the race to the moon.

President Kennedy ignit-ed the imagination of hisgeneration when he set theseemingly impossible goalof putting a man on themoon before the end of the1960s. At the time, nothingcould have seemed moreunachievable. But it was ahuge success and the mis-sion was accomplished.

What the world needsnow is a bold leader likePresident Kennedy who canset us on the path to gettingthe world off coal and ignitethe imagination of ourgeneration’s most brilliantminds: A leader who cansee to it that the resourcesand the unwavering willneeded are put in place toaccomplish the task.

Getting the world offcoal power should be ourgeneration’s seeminglyimpossible goal. Our moonlanding. And just imaginethe universal moment oftriumphant celebrationwhen we finally accomplishthis task?

Site C damproject gets FEditor:

Mike Taylor states in hisJuly 26 letter to the editorthat he cannot understandwhy some people areopposed to Site C.

At the risk of statingthe obvious, I will explainto him that people areopposed to large dams andreservoirs because of thedamages done to the envi-ronment. We are concernedabout loss of valuable agri-cultural land and wildlifehabitat, prolonged exten-sive slipping of river banksand the impacts of impededriver flow on downstream

communities.We are opposed to Site C

also because it is a hugelyexpensive project whichwill primarily serve to sub-sidize the exports of privatepower producers. Mr. Tay-lor claims that “billions ofdollars could have flowedinto this province” andconveniently omits the con-sideration of constructionand financing costs whichwould also be in the billionsof dollars. BC Hydro’s cur-rent cost estimate of $6.6billion dollars is based ondecades old engineeringplans.

Energy exports will donothing for our provincialcoffers because BC Hydrohas contracted this exportpower from independentpower producers (SiteC would serve as a bat-tery-type back-up for theinconsistency of wind andrun-of-river projects)

Mr. Taylor is correct inhis assertion that Site C hasbeen under considerationfor a long time. BC Hydrohad investigated the areabetween the Peace Canyonand the Alberta borderfor several years beforeengineering studies werebegun in 1971 and subse-quent application made in1980 for an Energy ProjectCertificate. The BC UtilitiesCommission completed itsown studies and hearings,issuing a report in May1983 which stated that SiteC was not in the provincialinterest and that BC Hydrohad not demonstrated SiteC to be the best project tomeet any anticipated sup-ply deficiency. Followingthe recommendation of theBC Utilities Commission,in November 1983 the pro-vincial cabinet denied theEnergy Project Certificatefor Site C.

Now, apparently becausewe need to start exportingmore power (see Globe andMail April 21 article Site Cdam laying groundwork forsurge in energy exports)Site C has been revisited.The provincial governmentmade its announcement inApril and shortly afterwardsinitiated legislation (“CleanEnergy Act”) which removesSite C from the oversightof the BC Utilities Com-mission. Our governmentis clearly eager to avoid

another regulatory denial.I am wondering if Mr, Tay-lor will get his wish becauseit looks like the political fixis in.

Lower Mainlandersshould try to imagine thedevastation that wouldensue from dams on theFraser, Thompson, Pitt orAlouette Rivers. With thoseapocalyptic visions in theirminds they will surely havesome idea why people areopposed to the flooding ofa beautiful northern rivervalley.

Stephen Harperis a fanaticEditor:

Winston Churchill said,‘A fanatic is one who can’tchange his mind andwon’t change the subject.”Doesn’t this observationsummarize the behaviourand response of Mr. Harperwhenever he faces a chal-lenge, e.g., the latest politi-cal fiasco over the Census?

Have you noticed how allStephen’s minions answerreporters’ questions byinserting, over and over, apreviously scripted Con-servative message? Havethey been told, “Most votersare simple folks with shortmemories; therefore, stayon message or find yourselfanother job”?

There is little hope ofnegotiating a compromisewith a fanatic. Likewisethere seems little hope ofnegotiating compromiseswith Harper after the Con-servatives decide, behind-closed-doors, what is bestfor Canadians. Harper mustbe afraid that negotiations,compromises and consen-sus building will be seen assigns of personal weakness.Perhaps he actually believestyranny, proclamations andpigheadedness are signs ofstrength.

Even though I supportmany conservative policiesin principle, I can not abidethe elitist, inflexible andcontrolling actions of Harp-er’s minority government.After all, it was elected byless than 40 per cent of thevoters and is expected toserve all Canadians. Howwould Harper behave if heever obtained a majority?

RidiculousexcusesEditor:

With the latest revelationsarising from the houseboatfatality on Shuswap Lakerecently, retired RCMPInspector Bill Melchnerscriticism of the force was

dead on.A respected media source

on controversial issues con-cerning same, he stated thatthe bungling by the force inthe McCann case in Albertaafter the discovery of theirburned out motorhomeenforces his opinion thatthey have become “lazy andmake ridiculous explana-tions” in defence of theirincompetency .

Exactly what occurred inthat bay on the Shuswap?Despite public concernsover the years of excessiveconsumption of alcoholand dangerous operationsof boats by a few duringthe annual celebrations,there was no police pres-ence during the event whichsurely would have curtailedthe speedboat operatorinvolved from excessivespeed and doing figureeights as described by wit-nesses present as well as notdisplaying required lightingon his boat. There wouldhave been no fatality as tookplace.

When asked by a reporterwhy they were not in atten-dance considering publicconcerns of past behaviour,a senior officer stated he“did not think that they wererequested to attend.”

A ridiculous explanationto be sure.

Now, we learn that 27empty bottles and a bag ofmarijuana was found onthe speedboat and that theoperator displayed slurredspeech and alcohol on hisbreath indicative of impair-ment. Despite this, he wasnot subjected to a breatha-lyzer test as required bylaw as with motor vehicleoperation. Also, being alocal businessman in asmall community, the RCMPdetachment would surelybe aware that he had threeimpaired driving convic-tions in his past and con-ducted the test. Anotherridiculous explanation forthe failure to do so—theybelieved that the hospitalwhere he was taken wouldhave taken a sample of hisblood and later, with theauthority of a warrant, theywould determine the levelof alcohol in it. They pointthe finger at the hospital,stating that the hospital stafffailed to do it. Dereliction tobe sure.

As for the McCann case, ahuge number of the publicare encouraging the vol-unteering and formationof a citizen search party tolocate them. The immedi-ate response by the RCMPto this has been to discour-age it despite there beingnumerous instances in thepast where families andvolunteers have been suc-cessful when the authoritieshave not.

The Chilliwack Huskersare still looking for theirfirst win of the season

after falling 26-13 to theKamloops Broncos Saturdaye v e n i n g a t E x h i b i t i o nStadium.

The Broncos also enteredSaturday’s tilt without awin and looked ripe for thetaking by a hungry Huskerssquad. But several ill-timedpenalties along with anongoing problem stoppingthe run combined to derailChilliwack’s hopes.

The Huskers actually tookfewer penalties than theirInterior counterparts, butit was the timing that hadHuskers head coach LukeAcheson fuming.

“We made a few mentalmistakes, some disciplinemistakes . . . really kind ofshooting ourselves in thefoot in the first half [and]extended their drives,” saidAcheson of the penaltytroubles. “In any close game

like that, it kind of comesdown to who makes the mostmistakes.”

Like in past games, theHuskers fell behind early—they trailed 18-0 at halftime—before rallying late inthe game.

The Broncos put DaveBoulton, normally a receiver,behind centre, and whileChilliwack was able to limitBoulton to just 122 yardspassing, on the ground itwas a different story. FourBroncos rushers combinedfor 161 yards, with Boultonr u n n i n g s e v e n t i m e shimself, including one for atouchdown.

Chilliwack, meanwhile,c o n t i n u e d t o s t r u g g l erunning the ball, managingjust 72 yards on 22 carries, themajority by Austin Kappell.

Through the air, it was adifferent matter, with ClaytonKroeker completing 17 of 32passes for 235 yards and twotouchdowns. His favouritetarget, Adam Leggott, madenine catches for 127 yardsand a touchdown.

Their efforts helped theHuskers draw to within sixpoints late in the fourthquarter before a Kamloopst o u c h d ow n s e a l e d t h eBroncos’ win.

“It was close down to thewire,” said Acheson.

T h e H u s k e r s h a v e achance to make amends thisweekend, as they travel toKamloops to renew hostilitieswith the Broncos.

Acheson said the offence,defence and special teams allmust be better if Chilliwackhopes to break its goose egg.

With a couple weeks until trainingcamp begins, Chilliwack Bruins snip-er Ryan Howse figures he’s already up

to game speed after participating in Canada’sNational Junior Team development camp inSt. John’s, Newfoundland.

Howse joined 45 of the other best youngCanadian forwards, defencemen and goalten-ders at the camp, which wrapped up Saturday.

“It was really good,” Howse told the Timeson Monday. “I got to see the skill level of play-ers from right across Canada and the differentleagues and got the feel of what it would be liketo be part ofWorld Juniors.”

Howse took part in the Calgary Flames’rookie camp in late July and went from thereto St. John’s.

“I’ve played three games now and some guyshave barely skated,” he said.“I feel like I’ve nev-er stopped playing hockey after the season.”

Still, Howse said that the potential to be apart of the World Juniors squad won’t be asmuch a motivating factor as the desire to helpthe Bruins get off to a quick start.

“Obviously I want to make that team, that’smy goal,” he said, “but I’m going to go out andplay my hardest for my team, my teammates,and do all I can for them and if I get the WorldJunior call again, I’ll work my hardest there.

“I just want to win in Chilliwack and if WorldJuniors are there, I’ll take it.”

The Chilliwack SPCA urgentlyneeds permanent homes forcats and kittens.

The number of abandonedand surrendered cats and kittenscurrently at the shelter and itssatellite adoption agency, Oly’s PetConnection, is almost double what itwas at this time last year, accordingto acting manager Jodie Dunlop.

Last July, 67 cats and kittens werein the local SPCA’s care, she said.This year she estimates that numberis closer to 130.

“Adoptions are down,” saidDunlop. “People are surrendering alot of their animals and abandoning

them because they’ve lost their jobor for whatever reason they just can’tafford to care for them any more, sowe’re seeing a huge increase, plus it’salso kitten season.”

The shelter has had to start askingpeople surrendering felines to holdonto to them until space can befound, and there are now about20 people waiting, according toChilliwack SPCA volunteer LauraVan dijk, who added that many of

those pet owners have female catswith litters of kittens.

While most owners and peoplelooking to bring in strays have beenunderstanding, some are less willingto wait. “We get the odd personthat’s angry, and then of course weend up taking the animal becausethey start threatening to kill it ordump it on the side of the road,” saidDunlop, “but the majority of peopleare pretty good when we explain our

situation.”To deal with the crisis, the SPCA

is urging people looking for a felinecompanion to adopt one insteadof picking one up for free or buyingone from a pet store.

All SPCA cats are vaccinated,spayed, neutered, tattooed andhealth checked.

A l o n g w i t h c o n t i n u i n g t oencourage people to spay andneuter their cats, the SPCA hopesto attract more pet stores to act assatellite adoption agencies. So faronly Oly’s has stepped up to partnerwith the agency.◗ Fo r m o re i n f o r m a t i o n o nadoption, visit www.spca.bc.ca orphone the Chilliwack SPCA at 604-823-6612.

Bob was taken from us suddenly July26, 2010 at age 53. Bob was born

Nov. 01, 1956 in Toronto, Ontario.Bob had been struggling mentallyand physically from Parkinson’sfor many years. Bob grew up inChilliwack and enjoyed hangingout with his buddies. Bob was

a big car enthusiast, and enjoyedscreaming around in his ‘69 Camaro,

and terrorizing the cops. After doingodd jobs in Chilliwack which included

being a car salesman at different locations, Bob ran a restaurantin Vancouver called P.J. Burgers. Then was a general manager ofDutchies Deli in Chilliwack that he ran with Leo Vermette. Bobthen moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he met his lovely future wifeBridget Nicholson. Bob did his first stunt work in Phoenix. Bob andBridget then moved to Los Angeles, California, where there wasmuch more stunt work opportunities, Bob also got to do some stuntdriving, which of course he loved, he was such a natural. Bob alsogot several acting roles. In fact, Bob did the stunt driving in a moviethey made in Chilliwack. The local paper interviewed him and put abig picture and article in the paper with title “Successful local boyreturns to his roots to film movie”. Bob and his wife lived right inHollywood; hence he acquired his nickname “Hollywood”. Bob andBridget were together for 6 years before divorcing. Bob continuedhis stunt work and acting roles. He then met and lived with Marybethand her 4 children for approximately a year. After they broke up,her and Bob remained very close loving friends and always kept incontact with each other. Bob then got a job at Peterson’s Publishingwhere he became the feature editor of one of the top car magazinesin the country called Chevy-High Performance, where many timeshe was featured on the cover. While at Peterson’s, Bob learnedthat his niece needed a kidney and Bob was a perfect match. Bobdropped everything and came to Vancouver to get the proceduredone, a truely remarkable and unselfish deed. While working there,through sponsorships, he built a supercharged 1993 Camaro, and a1956 Chevy with nearly 700 horsepower, they were his pride and joy.The effects of his Parkinson’s were progressively wearing on him allthis time and contributed to his leaving Chevy-High Performance.Bob moved back to Chilliwack with his motorhome and stayed atBrian Dietrich’s for a number of years. They used to be childhoodneighbours. At Brian’s, Bob did engine and body detailing andupgrades on top end vehicles. Bob then moved his motorhome to afriend’s house at Cultus Lake. He then got a job in Langley doing thesame work on show cars. The disease was rapidly taking its toll onBob and him being a proud man it was depressing him tremendously,how it was affecting him mentally and physically and his abilityto earn a living. In Bob’s words, it was “devastating”. Shortly afterthis, Bob made his ...Transition. Throughout Bob’s life many werewitness to observe how extraordinarily talented and gifted he was,and left many people in awe and some in envy. Bob will always beremembered and missed by his family for his big, generous heart,loving fun disposition, love and kindness to all people and animals,encouragement to learn and study, and especially his big warm bearhugs. Many friends also adored Bob. To many of their children hewas known as “Uncle Bob”. We are broken-hearted but so gratefulto have had you in our lives. ‘Til we meet again-thank you, andlove forever. Bob loved his family very much, especially his sweetlovable mother, and has stated he sees a living angel, everytimehe sees her face. Bob is predeceased by his father Donald JamesCassell (1925-1987). Survived by his mother Corina Sara Cassellnee Van der Wouden; sister Juanita Corina Comeau, her husbandFrank Comeau and her children (born to her and her husband TomBlackwell of Chilliwack before his passing away in 1986) Corina,Lila, Mary, Angela and Tom Blackwell; sister Donita CatherineCooper, her husband Gregory Cooper of Richmond and children,Donetta and Ann-Scarlett; brother Donald James, his wife Wandaof Newfoundland and children Jenny, Amanda, Grant, Holly andMichael. his grand nephews and nieces are Adam, Scott, John,Ben, Davis, Kate, Ash, Eli, Dresden, Josephine, and Fox.
