Aproject to restore Vedder River salmon andtrout habitat will soon see a stream mean-der through the middle of the Vedder River

Family Campground where no stream meanderedbefore.

Slated for completion in December, the newwaterway will create 42,000 square metres of newhabitat for Chinook, chum, coho and pink salmonas well as steelhead and cutthroat trout.

The project is one of three fish-habitat conser-vation projects planned in the Chilliwack-area,and Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahlwas on the banks of the Vedder River by HopedaleSlough Thursday to announce $318,500 in federalgrants to support the work.

“The Fraser River, the Vedder River are thingsthat people identify with when they think aboutChilliwack, and we want to make sure that thoseresources are in those rivers for generations tocome,” Strahl said.

The funds are coming from the RecreationalFisheries Conservation Part-nerships Program, a federalinitiative established afterthe last budget to protect andimprove recreational fisher-ies habitat.

For the Vedder River proj-ect and another project at

Elbow Creek (a tributary of the Harrison River),$174,500 is being funneled through the PacificSalmon Foundation (PSF).

The federal government will partner with DucksUnlimited for another $144,000 to rebuild theCheam Lake Water Control to restore access toCheam Lake and upstream habitat for spawningcoho and cutthroat trout.

The federal funds are critical, according PSFdirector of salmon recovery Dianne Ramage.

Watershed groups, like the Fraser Valley Water-sheds Coalition (FVWC), which is leading the Ved-der River project locally, are already doing all theycan in terms of small-scale projects with volunteerlabour, shovels and small machines, she said.

“The projects that need to be done now are likethis, where it takes multiple levels of governmentto come together. It takes more than one steward-ship group and it takes big amounts of money.”

Before Labour Day, heavy machinery was on siteat the Vedder River project laying a water intakesystem through the dike that will wet HopedaleSlough through the summer months and feed thenew stream soon to be dug through the Vedder

Agroup of approximately 30 Sea-bird Island First Nations mem-bers have occupied the Agassiz

band’s office in an Idle No More-styleprotest against alleged nepotism,corruption and mismanagement offunds.

Acting under the name the Com-mittee for the Betterment of SeabirdIsland, the group announced Sundayit would take over the band office asof 7 a.m. Monday, refusing entry toadministrative staff, elected council-lors and Chief Clem Seymour.

“We decided we want this bandoffice shut down because of the deal-ings going on in this office, how theyare treating the people and we wantour chief and council removed,”spokesperson Fred Price told theTimes Monday morning.

Price said the band office was justthe beginning and that the Sto:lo TribalCouncil office and Seabird Island Col-lege would be shut down on Tuesday.

He said the group also planned toshut down a housing constructioncrew for allegedly shoddy work.

In a statement issued Sunday by anIdle No More provincial spokesperson,the group said, “We are exasperated ofthe housing, environmental, health, eco-

nomic, business, education, underem-ployment, nepotism issues that keep usoppressed, manipulated and shoved intoa corner with no consideration of ourhuman needs or rights.”

Price was adamantthe occupation waspeaceful and that rep-resentatives haven’tb l o c k e d o r e v e nlocked the doors, butare turning anyoneaway who wants toenter.

He added that thegroup wants essen-tial services to con-tinue. This includeshome care, Meals onWheels, doctor and dentist appoint-ments, although early Monday therewas some uncertainty if the medicalprofessionals had been sent away andwould show up.

Price said the occupation is entirelypeaceful and the group is following astrict code that includes: no swearing,no substance use and even no placards,for fear they could be used as weapons.

He said that if threatened physically,

the occupiers will respond by walk-ing away after issuing this statement:“Please do not touch me.”

When contacted by the Times Mon-day, Seymour said he and his council-

lors were at the Sto:loTribal Council officesat Seabird Island andthey were “trying towork through” thesituation.

“They haven’t reallymade any demands,”he said.

A s k e d i f h e w a ssurprised about theoccupation, Seymoursaid “no.”

“I g u e s s t h e y ’v ebeen making noise ever since the lastelection.”

In the March 13 election that sawSeymour re-elected as Chief, Price fin-ished 15th out of 27 people who ranfor the nine band council seats.

Agassiz RCMP have attended thescene and they, along with membersfrom the First Nations Unit, are “mon-itoring the situation,” according to aspokesperson.

Jack Webster Award nomina-tion for community report-ing.

Olsen’s story, “Living ina Death Trap,” is about amother and son’s hoard-ing compulsion and a localfirefighter’s inability to findthem help.

This is Olsen’s third nomi-nation in a row. He won theJack Webster Award for com-munity reporting in 2011 fora four-part series on mari-juana grow operations inChilliwack.

“The Chilliwack Times isvery proud of Tyler’s third-year-in-a-row Jack WebsterAward nomination,” said

Times publisher Nick Basta-ja. “It just goes to show thelevel of commitment andconsistency Tyler brings toTimes readers through hisreporting.”

Olsen’s story is up against

fellow Glacier Media news-paper Kamloops Daily News(“A Duty to Remember,” byCatherine Litt and MicheleYoung), and online news-magazine The Tyee (“Cross-border Coal War?, by DavidP. Ball).

W i n n e r s w i l l b eannounced at the 27thannual Jack Webster Awardsdinner on Wednesday, Oct.30 at the Westin Bayshore,Vancouver.

River Family Campground.“The whole idea is to recharge the area, bring

the water levels up, add channels, pocket habi-tat for coho, for all the little guys, so that theycan mature,” FVWC project manager NatashiaCox said.

Spawning and juvenile salmon don’t survivewell in the main stem of the river, Departmentof Fisheries and Oceans senior biologist MattFoy said. During some parts of the year, theyhave to take refuge in calmer, more food-richoff channels.

“When you have dike systems, you don’thave a lot of choices,” he said.

The Vedder River project, which will cost atotal of $250,025, will connect the river withthe slough, which is currently isolated by thedike.

The project is scheduled for completion inDecember, but FVWC is looking for volunteerhelp to plant the banks of the new stream Nov.9, 12 and 13.◗ For more information, visit www.fvwc.ca.

Yes they cant.Decades after the last saw-

mill left the Chilliwack area,Ledcor Resources and Trans-portation is nearing comple-tion on a new $18 millionmill that will produce low-end wood products calledcants destined for Asianmarkets.

With construction on themill nearly complete, theoperation added a secondshift of unionized workerslast week.

At a media event Thurs-day, Ledcor Resourse andTransportation CEO DaveLede told workers, “We’regoing to prove to you thatyou can make more mon-ey than any other sawmillworker in the province.”

The mill takes whole logsand turns them into cants—long, square pieces of woodmilled from spruce, pine,fir and hemlock. The rest ofthe log is then used to man-ufacture wood chips andhog fuel.

“Nobody else was doingthis and we saw a uniqueopportunity to use all parts

of the log for a commercialpurpose and make a busi-ness out of it,” Ledcor presi-dent Paul McElligott toldthe Times.

After harvesting a pieceof forest, Ledcor—whichalso operates a mill nearSilverdale, in Mission—waschipping logs that weren’tslated for traditional wooduses. The new Chilliwackmill allows the company toturn those logs into cants,which have a higher value

than chips. Many will thenbe destined for China andother Asian markets, wherethey will be used as a rawproduct to manufacturefurniture and other goods.

The sawmill is locatedjust off Industrial Way, andsits on a 20-acre peninsula-like patch of land beside theFraser River.

McElligott said the Chilli-wack site was chosen for itsaccessibil-ity. Goodsc a n b eshipped toa n d f r o mthe mill viaeither theFraser River or Highway 1.Its proximity to the Silver-dale mill was also a sellingpoint.

Chilliwack MLA John Mar-tin and Natural ResourcesMinister Steve Thomsonboth toured the mill Thurs-day.

Thomson said the newmill was a sign of a resur-gence in the B.C. forestindustry. He said 3,500 jobshave been created in thepast year, with $650 millionexpected to be invested inthe industry in 2013.

There are plenty of horrorstories about mistreatmentat international borders.

This isn’t one of them.You may have heard about Jes-

sica Goldstein’s plight when try-ing to cross the border into theUnited States recently.

The Richmond native wasdenied entry into the state ofWashington on Aug. 31, foradmitting marijuana use.

“I think it makes no sense,”said the 30-year-old universitystudent, who claims she wasinterrogated for several hours forsimply telling the truth.

She admitted to the U.S. cus-toms agent that she had indeedsmoked marijuana recently - justdays before the incident, accord-ing to her story.

But wait, it gets better.“She asked how long I’d

smoked pot for. I said about 10years,” Goldstein told the Van-couver Sun. “Then she askedhow many times I’d smoked potin my life. I didn’t know the exactnumber; probably around 500times.”

She also admitted to usingecstasy and mushrooms.

“It doesn’t make any sense tome why they’d turn me away,”she said.

What? Really? It makes nosense to you?

Let me be blunt, Ms. Gold-stein. They turned you awaybecause you are what we usedto refer to in my school days asa pothead, and they do not wantpotheads from Canada cominginto the United States.

Goldstein went on to say shefound the treatment especiallyupsetting, considering recre-ational marijuana use is legal inthe state of Washington.

Actually, that’s all the morereason for U.S. customs agentsto be wary of Canadian potheadscoming into Washington.

It’s not out of the realm ofpossibility that someone whosmokes pot could be interestedin entering Washington specifi-cally to purchase pot.

And, of course, with thatcomes the possibility that saidperson is interested in purchas-ing large quantities of marijuana,

to bring back into Canada.Now, I’m not implying that

Goldstein had that in mind, noram I implying that she is in anyway involved in the drug trade.I highly doubt she is, or shewouldn’t be drawing attentionto herself with this entire “woe isme” tale she tells.

All I am saying is that whenyou go to the U.S. border andtell an agent that you have beensmoking pot every week for thepast 10 years, and that you havealso done ecstasy and mush-rooms, the red flags will startwaving.

In fact, I’d hazard a guess thatif it ever got back to that agent’ssuperiors that he or she (in thiscase, she) interviewed a Cana-dian who admitted to regular(yes, every week for 10 years isregular) pot use, and still allowedthat person into the country, thatagent would be out of a job.

The only possible mistreat-ment of Goldstein in this case isthat she was detained for threehours. It should have taken onlya minute to determine she wasan “undesirable.”

◗ Terry Farrell is the editor of theAbbotsford/Mission Times.

Arithmeticskills stillneed workI

f we were to turn to the “Comment”section of Education Minister PeterFassbender’s first quarterly reportcard, it might read as follows: “Peter’s

work in most subjects is exemplary. Heis diligent in attending to his work, andwhile it is early for a full assessment, heappears to show a willingness to com-plete assignments on time and to histeacher’s satisfaction. He receives a highgrade in ‘Communication Skills,’ but thatis more reflective of his easy style withwords than of the contents of the mes-sages he conveys. However, like most ofhis fellow students who have taken upstudies in education ministry in Victoria,his arithmetic skills are questionable,barely earning a C-.”

B.C.’s new education minister is a niceguy. He has a congenial disposition and aquiet, assured attitude that inspires con-fidence.

Fassbender speaks well, but when itgets down to the ABCs and 123s, neitherteachers nor school trustees are likely tobe overjoyed by what he has to say.

Granted, he has been handed a toughassignment: convince tens of thousandsof teachers who feel betrayed by nearlyall of his predecessor’s handling the Min-ister Education portfolio—including (andespecially) the one who is currently B.C.’spremier and his boss—that they shouldsign a long-term contract in order to sta-bilize the delivery of education to publicschool students.

To sweeten the pot, Fassbender offeredthat teachers and other staff could getwage increases—but his math breaksdown (as usual) when he refuses to pro-vide provincial money to back up theoffer. The districts’ school trustees willhave to figure out their end of the equa-tion all by themselves.

When you add it all up, there still seemsto be a plus sign missing on the kids’ sideof the equals sign.

Editor:I read with dismay about

[deputy federal Liberal lead-er Ralph] Goodale grand-standing at Party in the Park.This event should be strictlynon-political, it is for com-munity enjoyment not gladhanding politicians.

Elaine PerrinChilliwack

Strahl respondsto letter writerEditor:

Re:“Curiouser and curious-er,” Times, Aug. 29.

Please allow me theopportunity to provide someclarification on a number ofissues raised by the writer ofthe above noted letter to theeditor.

My latest “HaveYour Say”brochure had nothing to dowith a new Canadian postagestamp. The Salmon Conser-vation Stamp is a decal (yesit is postage-stamp sized)anglers must purchase if theywish to keep Pacific salmoncaught in tidal waters. TheConservative government hasannounced that it is dedicat-ing all funds collected fromthis decal, which has been inexistence for number of years,to the Pacific Salmon Foun-dation to fund conservationprojects. Again, this is not anew stamp and it has nothingto do with postage.

I am very troubled bythe false accusation thatunder the recent budget thegovernment would allow“Cyprus-style looting of per-sonal bank accounts.” To beclear: the “bail-in” scenariodescribed in the federal bud-get has nothing to do withdepositors’ accounts. Thoseaccounts will continue toremain insured through theCanada Deposit InsuranceCorporation as always.

Under a bail-in arrange-ment, a failing financialinstitution has to tap intoits own special reserves orassets (which it has beenforced to put aside) to keep itsoperations going. The bail-inregime would only kick induring an event that a majorbank in Canada begins tofail—an extremely unlikelyoccurrence given that Canadahas been recognized as hav-ing the strongest banking sec-tor in the world for six yearsrunning!

These measures aredesigned to protect bothtaxpayers from having tobail-out banks and deposi-tors from having to take afinancial hit like we’ve seen inCyprus.

Finally with regards toSyria, the writer is looking tobe asked a question that hasalready been answered. ThePrime Minister has been clearthat while Canada is verytroubled by the ongoing vio-lence and evidence of chemi-cal weapon use, Canada has

no plans for military actionin Syria.

I will continue to provideopportunities for constitu-ents to have their say on theissues of the day and wel-come feedback which helpsme do my job as their voice inOttawa.

Re:“Pipeline activists tourspill site,” Times, Sept. 3.

I am writing in response toan article by Paul Hendersonthat appeared in your paperon Sept. 3.

The article highlights someconcerns from five membersof a Chilliwack-based envi-ronmental group aroundthe integrity of the TransMountain Pipeline. The TransMountain pipeline has beenresponsibly transportingpetroleum products to andthrough B.C. since 1953.

For six decades, ouremployees and facilities havebeen part of many communi-ties along the entire 1,150-kilometre Trans MountainPipeline right-of-way.Weshare the value residentsplace on the environmentand our prevention andmaintenance programs arebuilt around our belief thatno spill or leak is acceptable.

That is why I must assureyour readers our priority is tokeep the public and employ-ees safe by having damageprevention and integritymanagement programs inplace to ensure the safe andreliable operation of our pipe-lines. Kinder Morgan Canadahas an extensive, highly regu-lated, integrity managementand maintenance programto ensure that the pipe andassociated equipment arewell-operated and main-tained. Inline inspections,anomaly investigation andrepair, cathodic protection,control room monitoring,aerial and ground patrols,and our Damage Preventionand Public Awareness Pro-gram, are all part of KinderMorgan’s pipeline safetyprogram. Our safety recordhas been due to the continu-ous efforts of our employees,who regard the safety of

people and protection of theenvironment as our top pri-orities in the operation of oursystems.

Although the Trans Moun-tain pipeline was built in the1950s, because of KinderMorgan’s efforts in ongoingmaintenance and imple-mentation of technologyadvancements, followinggood industry practices, andadherence to all regulatoryand industry standards, weare confident of the pipeline’sability to continue to safelyand efficiently deliver prod-uct to our customers formany years to come.

You can read more abouthow we maintain our pipe-lines on our website at: www.kindermorgan.com/pipeline-safety.We hope that interest-ed parties will take the time tolearn more and provide theirviews at www.transmountain.com.

An uncalled-forpublic criticismEditor:

After having been on holi-days for a couple of weeks, Ithought I’d catch up on thelocal newspapers that hadcollected while we were away.I came across the Aug. 22issue of theTimes and beganto read the front page storyof Pauline Jollymour and theunfortunate condition of herhome and property.

I was absolutely appalledby the public calling-outof one of our community’sseniors by Mayor SharonGaetz. I don’t think the mayorneeded to use the languagethat she did to scold Ms. Jol-lymour on the condition ofher home and allow it to beprinted for all of the commu-nity to read. In my opinion,the way that Mayor Gaetzspoke to this elderly lady wasabsolutely inappropriate,uncalled for and unaccept-able. There are other ways toconvey a message withoutpublicly berating a person.

I hope that Ms. Jollymourand her son get the assistancethey need and I, for one, amwilling to offer my help.

ASardis secondary grad is mak-ing history in the world ofwomen’s mixed martial arts(MMA) this fall.

Sarah “Cheesecake” Moras, whograduated from SSS in 2005 and fightsout of Toshido MMA in Kelowna, isamong the first group of female fight-ers ever to be featured in The UltimateFighter, a long-running reality TV showthat premiered on FOX Sports 1 lastWednesday.

The first show saw Moras take downformer top-rankedbantamweight TaraLaRosa of Albuquer-que, N.M., in whathas been called theupset of the showso far.

The victory earned the Chilliwack-raised fighter a six-week stay in theUltimate Fighter house in Las Vegaswith 15 other contenders (male andfemale).

Their fights, both inside and outsideof the ring, will be the stuff of the seriesfor the next 13 weeks.

“It’s basically like [the reality TVshow] Big Brother except for you fight,”Moras told the Times.

Having trained in MMA for sixyears, Moras tried out for TUF-18 (asthe series is dubbed) in April at theprompting of her coach.

She had a good feeling about it rightfrom the start.

“Sometimes youjust know cer-tain things aregoing to hap-pen,” shesaid. “I knewI was goingto make iton the

show.”Getting a

couple point-ers from afellow Toshidofighter who’dbeen on theseries during aprevious seasondidn’t hurt.

The show’smakers aren’tsuper keen onCanadians’mythical polite-ness, for example.

“He just said we make boring televi-sion,” Moras said of one show official.

She was called back, though, anddrew LaRosa as her first opponent.

“When I started training, she was

ranked number one in the world formy weight class, so it was a pretty hugedeal,” Moras said.

Still, the 25-old-Canadian contend-er was undaunted.

“Obviously you’re a bit scared likeyou’re scared with any fight, but Iwas excited. I knew I had the skills tobeat her, and I knew this would bethe perfect place to show that.”

A two-round win by decision,compliments of a couple

Moras takedowns, a fewsubmission attempts

and a lot of punchesand elbows, soon

proved her right.Like all the

winnersfeatured

in

Wednes-day’s two-hour TUF-18premiere, Moras will nowappear on the show for

the next 13.Apart from the series

finale, which will air livefrom the Mandalay BayEvents Center in Las VegasSaturday, Nov. 30, all theepisodes were pre-tapedthis summer, and Morasis sworn to secrecy aboutfight results and otherdrama that will be featuredon upcoming episodes.

What she can say is thatfor six weeks she lived in a four-bed-room house in Las Vegas with 15 otherfighters, no TV, no phones, no comput-ers, no books, no music and a whole lot

For the second straight week, a BritishColumbia Football Conference team nar-rowly beat theValley Huskers Saturday to

claim their first win of the season.The week before it had been the Westshore

Rebels; last week it was the Kamloops Broncos,who knocked off the Huskers 25-20.

The game was the third meeting betweenthe two squads—the first game ended in a tie;the Huskers won the second in a squeaker.

After falling behind 13-0Saturday, the Huskers drewto within six when quarter-back Cody Parray punchedthe ball into the end zonejust seconds before halftime.

The Broncos, though,rebuilt their lead and held a healthy 22-7 edgewith just a few minutes remaining.

But the game still had a couple turns to take.After Parray found Blake Draper for a touch-

down, a failed Huskers onside kick led to aBroncos field goal. Valley got the ball back, buta long bomb was picked off. The game shouldhave been over—but it wasn’t. Instead ofwatching the clock run out, the Broncos fum-bled away the ball and watched as the Husk-ers’ Brody Slagman ran it into the end zone.

It only took a second failed onside kickfor Kamloops to finally seal their first win of

the year.Parray finished the game having completed

14 of 30 passes for 178 yards. Cody Vinnish ledthe Huskers’ receivers with nine yards on threecatches.

With the Broncos in their rearview mirror,the Huskers schedule is about to get a wholelot tougher.

Of their last four games, two are against theOkanagan Sun and two are against the reign-ing BCFC champion Langley Rams.

They host the Sun Saturday at 1 p.m. Withthe final touches still being put in place on thenew turf at Exhibition Field, the game will like-ly be played at Townsend Park.

It’s your generosity that made our trip to competein the 2013 World Masters Games in

Torino, Italy a reality.

chiefsextraUpcoming games: Sept. 13 - Chilliwack @ Prince George 7 p.m. Sept. 14 - Chilliwack @ Prince George 7 p.m.


If you’re looking for an answerto whether the ChilliwackChiefs will be any good thisyear, you’re about to be disap-

pointed.With half of this year’s Chiefs

squad new to the gold and crimson,anyone who says they know exactlyhow well they’ll perform is blow-ing hot air. And two regular seasongames—including a bad loss and aquite good tie—is far too small of asample size to be of any use.

It’s easy to imagine the Chiefsbeing good this year—but missingthe playoffs is also com-pletely possible.

That’s because, whilethe Chiefs should becapable defensively, theforward corps is a com-plete mystery.

With Tanner Cochraneon the 30-day disabledlist due to a hand ail-ment, the Chiefs will start the seasonwith just four BCHL vets up front.Of those, only Austin Plevy, who fin-ished second in league scoring, pot-ted more than 12 goals last year.

This is where the mystery starts.Any of Mathieu Tibbet, Jaret Babychor Ben Butcher could score 20-plusgoals this season. They all haveshown skill and the ability to scorein the past. Now they just need tobe able to do it more consistentlyagainst tougher competition.

Ideally, two of the three will havebreakout years offensively. If noneof them do, the Chiefs will be introuble.

The Chiefs will also need some oftheir newer acquisitions to step up

to the plate.Of the new forwards, American

imports Jacob Hand, Blake Goberand Zach Diamantoni all played wellin the preseason.

Chiefs head coach and generalmanager Harvey Smyl has a strongtrack record of being able to findscoring aces south of the border.This year, Smyl will need at least acouple to replace the firepower helost during the off-season.

There are fewer questions when itcomes to the team’s defence.

Returnees Kiefer McNaughton,Cooper Rush and Eric Roberts willbe joined by newcomer T.J. Rocheto fill out a capable top-four. But

whether they can bemore than that is aquestion that can onlybe answered on the ice.One thing’s for sure:with an average sizeof six-foot-three, theyshouldn’t be pushedaround.

Additions CarterCochrane and Michael Willms aresmaller and younger, but both aregood skaters and puck-movers.Their usefulness for Smyl, though,will depend more on their hockeysense and ability to read the playthan their substantial ability.

And in goal, it’s still unclear whowill be the heir to Mitch Gillam.Twenty-year-old Lyndon Stanwoodhas experience as a starter in Trail,but his body of work in the pre-season left a little to be desired.

Chilliwack’s Josh Halpenny, mean-while, saw little action last year asGillam’s understudy. He’ll get morework this year, and it’s possible thathe’ll steal the starting job from Stan-wood.

Crystal ballFans are going to need one if theywant to know what the 2013-14hockey season holds for the Chiefs


After losing several key players over the summer, this year’s Chilliwack Chiefs squad features plenty ofnew names.

house,” Moras said. “You’re always mic-ed,so they sort of listen in on your conversa-tions, and if you’re talking about somethinginteresting, then the cameraman will runtowards you and start filming you.”

Cameras in the bedrooms? In the bath-rooms? Yup.

“You kind of just can’t care,” Moras said.“You sort of sign your life away when you gofor something like that.”

Even though filming wrapped up thissummer, Moras had to wait till last Mondayto get her first glimpse of what made it intothe show.

She’s blogging about the series forSportsnet, so she gets a copy of each episodethe Monday before it airs.

So far she likes what she’s seen, but thenthe fighters haven’t taken up residence inthe house yet on the show, which is usuallywhere the fun begins.

Let the Great Goal Hunt of 2013 begin.The Chilliwack Chiefs scored just twice

during last weekend’s Bauer Showcase,but managed to escape with a point aftera late Kurt Black goal earned them a tieagainst a strongVernonVipers team.

In their home opener against Pow-ell River, the Chiefs looked like a teamstocked with players who had neverplayed a regular season British ColumbiaHockey League (BCHL) game.

But the signs of inexperience weren’tthe worst part of the 6-1 loss.

While the early season jitters mighthave been excusable, a lacklustre effortwas not—not with head coach HarveySmyl still trying to figure out his rosterand more than a hundred scouts in thebuilding.

But there the Chiefs were, beaten toevery puck, losing battles along the boardsand falling behind 3-0 on home ice beforethe season was 13 minutes old.

The scoreline got worse before it got

better, and by the time Andrew Silardscored for the Chiefs late in the secondperiod, the Kings had put five times pastChiefs starter Josh Halpenny and thegame was already over.

Facing an even tougher challenge Sun-day night in aVernonVipers team gettingready to host next spring’s Royal BankCup, the Chiefs put up a better effort andfought their way to a 1-1 tie.

That single point came because of thework of two players who didn’t play aminute in Saturday’s loss.

The Vipers scored midway throughthe first period, but Demico Hannoun’sopener was the only puck that wouldget past Chiefs netminder Lyndon Stan-wood, who showed why Chilliwack trad-ed for the 20-year-old veteran.

Stanwood, and tighter defensive playfrom his teammates, kept the Chiefswithin a goal until midway through thethird period, when Black—who was ahealthy scratch Saturday—beat Vipersgoalie Austin Smith to knot the score.

Neither team could find the net in anovertime that included both four-on-

four and three-on-three play.

Plenty of powerplay opportunitiesThe Chiefs’ inability to score was not

due to a lack of power play opportuni-ties. Chilliwack went 0-for-10 with theman advantage over the weekend. Theyweren’t the only ones to have early sea-son struggles up a man. Vernon went 0-for-six Sunday, while the Kings scored onjust one of their five opportunities.

It was hardly an anomaly; the 16 teamsplaying at the showcase last weekendconverted on just 14 per cent of theirpower play chances.

Long road trip this weekendThe Chiefs get a chance to make

amends and bond as a team this week-end as they make the long trip north toPrince George for a pair of games Fridayand Saturday.

The Spruce Kings also had a difficultshowcase, losing to both Cowichan Val-ley and Nanaimo. After the northern roadtrip, the Chiefs have two weeks off beforethey play again in late September.

Lilee-Jean was diagnosed inOctober 2011 with glioblastoma—an aggressive brain cancer.

“It was probably the worst feel-ing you could ever feel in your life,”Andrew told the Times two yearsago.

Since then, the family hasengaged in a very public fightagainst the disease, a period oftime filled with unique fundraisersthat garnered broad attention.

The family’s plight drew nationalmedia coverage aftermost highprofile of which was when Christo-pher’s band, Pardon My Striptease,released a song he had writtencalled “Pray (For LJ).” It was aninstant sensation, rising up theiTunes rock chart all the way tonumber two, behind Nickelback’snew single. That’s when they putout a challenge to Nickelback tomatch funds raised by Pray (ForLJ). The rockers did just that anddonated $50,000 to the BC Chil-

dren’s Hospital.The ups and downs of the fam-

ily have been well-documented onthe Love For Lilee Facebook page,which has nearly 13,000 “likes.”

On Saturday, more than a hun-dred people gathered at Salish Parkin Chilliwack to light candles andrelease baloons in honour of thelittle girl. Similar vigils were sched-uled at Mill Lake Park in Abbots-ford and at the beach in HarrisonHot Springs.

Lilee-Jean’s mother responded

on Sunday on Facebook.“ We a re c o m p l e t e l y ov e r-

whelmed by the LOVE for Lilee,and support and love for Andrewand myself. From the bottom ofour hearts, thank you for helpingLilee-Jean live on past her days onthis Earth.”◗ Keeping with the public natureof the family’s fight against cancer,Lilee-Jean’s parents decided theservice should be public. It will beheld on Sept. 28 in either Chilli-wack or Abbotsford.

LILEE-JEAN, from page 1

News

Thousands of dollars raised thanks to her public cancer battle“We are completely over-whelmed by the LOVE forLilee, and support and lovefor Andrew and myself.From the bottom of ourhearts, thank you for help-ing Lilee-Jean live on pasther days on this Earth.”

The University of the FraserValley (UFV) will be the ben-eficiary of a rocky gift from

the City of Chilliwack in the form of3,900 cubic metres of gravel.

UFV needs it for its under-con-struction agriculture faculty build-ing; the city has lots, and no one’sbuying.

With a current inventory of 32,600

cubic metres of Vedder River graveland another gravel removal programone year off, the city may even havestorage issues for its gravel stock-piles, according to a staff report pre-sented to city council Tuesday.

At the meeting, council unani-mously agreed to the donation,which is valued at $14,000, if the grav-el is worth $3.59 per cubic metre.

Gravel removals are conductedevery other year in the Vedder River,ostensibly for flood protection, butin June 2012 the only two tendersfor 53,800 cubic metres of gravelreceived were rejected for cost.

“The reason for the uancceptableprices were attributed to the lack ofdemand in the gravel market at thetime,” a staff report said.

In July, staff again went out to ten-der at three sites and a contract wasawarded. But since then there havebeen no “acceptable offers” fromindustryandthecityhaslittlein-houseuse for the type of gravel in question.

The rationale for making thedonation meant a stretch in thedefinition of how donations are usu-ally made by the city. The staff report

stated that in order to gift a city asset,the project needs to be an initiativeassociated with something the citywould have otherwise performed orfunded.

“The city, through [the ChilliwackEconomic Partners Corporation],has made the development of theCanada Education Park a priority,so it could be argued that the giftof the gravel is something the citywould otherwise facilitate,” thestaff report said.

No need to grovel for gravel thanks to city giftNews
