A59-year-old pedestrian waskilled near Five Corners inChilliwack early Sundaymorning.The Vancouver man was hit
by a southbound vehicle at the45800 block of Yale Road justbefore 1 a.m., according to Chilli-wack RCMP.Pol ice say the pedest r ian
stumbled into the southboundlane where he was struck. He sus-tained life-threatening injuriesand was transported to Chilli-wack General Hospital where hedied from his injuries.RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len
vanNieuwenhuizen said the driv-er stayed at the scene, and charg-es against the driver are not beingconsidered.He is being very co-operative
with the police, and alcohol anddrugs are not a factor, vanNieu-wenhuizen told the Times.The B.C. Coroners Service will
likely take over the investigationinto what caused the pedestrianto stumble onto the road.The mans name has not been
released.

The man arrested this weekend in connectionwith the death of a 14-month-old Chilliwack girlFriday night has been released without charges,according to the RCMPs Integrated Homicide Investi-gationTeam (IHIT).Police suspect foul play in the death of the girl, and
spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound announced Satur-day that IHIT would be taking on the new file.An autopsy is now being conducted to determine
the cause of death.Friday night, just after 10 p.m., the RCMPs Upper
Fraser Valley Regional Detachment attended a homein the Promontory area of Chilliwack, where theyfound an infant who appeared to be in distress.
The baby was taken to hospital, but attempts torevive her were unsuccessful. She was pronounceddead shortly after 11 p.m.Pound said investigators from IHIT and the Upper
FraserValley RCMPwere at the home Saturday.Understandably, the parents are distraught about
this, said Pound. Its their only child.Whenever you see a victim that really doesnt have
the ability to defend themselves, its always difficult.Its difficult to see the families go through such a greatloss.Its hard on investigators. They take it home. They
have families themselves.On Facebook, meanwhile, condolences have been
flooding in for the mother of the baby since Saturdaymorning.There are no words for a time like this, wrote one
woman. They all sound lame and weak.We are so, sosorry for your loss and we sill be continuing to holdyou in prayer as you grieve for your beautiful baby girl.God be with you.

Theowner of apackof pit bullsthat has terrorized a Popkumneighbourhood for monthstold police last week he has movedthe dogs off the property.But the news comes as no great
comfort to the mother of a 14-year-old boy whowas attacked andbitten by four dogs earlier in Sep-tember.Earlier this year, some of the pit
bulls in question also jumped thefence on the property and attackedLorill Zandbergs eight-year-olddaughter Hannah.Although were very happy
theyre not in our neighbourhoodanymore, its very concerning thatthe dogs are still out there some-where, Zandberg told theTimes.Theyre vicious animals that
have proven theyll attack peo-ple and other animals. I know ofanother case where one of thesedogs mauled another small dogin our neighbourhood. The ownerdoesnt want to go public, but ithappened.The problem is that in Popkum,
in electoral Area D of the FraserValley Regional District (FVRD),there is no animal control bylaw.This led to frustration amongpolice, neighbours and the elect-ed representative for the area, BillDickey, who himself was chased bythe dogs this year.As a result of the Times story on
the attack of Zandbergs son Jona-than on Sept. 4, police found outabout a little-used section of theCommunity Charter that pertainsto dangerous dogs.

Forget your fancy gadgets, deluxetents and expensive campingspots, Chilliwacks Philip Fun-nell knows how to see the world on amotorcycle.First, find an old reliable machine
that you can fix with your own twohands. Build a small trailer you cansleep in. It helps if youre just five feet,five inches tall like Funnell. Insulateit.Youwant it to bewarm. As a bonus,the aerodynamic pod will make yourbike look a little like a 1950s-eraspace ship. Trust the first man to rideamotorcycle to the Arctic Ocean (theice roads required he do so in thewinter):Hit the road. Dont go fast; you will
see fewer sights, spot fewer deer andfor what? A chance at a bad crash.Ride for hours, alone. Use a mapareal map that you can mark up witha pen. Trust the guy whose 1986 bookon safe motorcycling now sells for$136 online.If you need to stop along the way,
decide if youve got time to chat orneedmoney. If you do, park your bikein front of the store.When you returnto your bike, hawk your books to the
several people standing around yourmotorcycle. If you dont have time,park your motorcycle out of sight.Trust the 2010 inductee into theCanadianMotorcycleHall of Fame.When youre done riding, hide.This
rule applies in the third world, whereyou dont want to be kidnapped orworse. It also applies in Canada andthe United States, where you dontwant to have to pay for a campingspot or be hurried along. Trust theguy who first circumnavigated theglobe on amotorcycle 52 years ago.An adventure touring motorcyclist
before it was cool, Funnell has spentthe past two weeks biking acrossNorth America on yet another cross-continent voyage. This one saw the77-year-old travel through the onlyfive American states he hadnt beento before ending inMaryland on Sat-urday, where he sold his extremelymodified BMW and pod to a vintagemuseum.Funnell immigrated to Canada
in the 1960s, and built a career outof motorcycles. He owned his ownVancouver dealership and imported
Soviet bikes.The experiencewasnt to his liking.Dealing with Quebec and dealing
with Transport Canada and dealingwith the Russians and dealing withthe mafia, it was all so difficult, heremembered.Funnell experiencedother troubles.
On his round-the-world journeys, hesaid he was robbed and taken pris-oner and all sorts of stuff.The sale of his BMW dealership
went awry and when he got a job atanother motorcycle shot, a seriousfall nearly killed him.But he never lost his love of touring
motorcycles and the open road.Itsme to be that way, he said.Funnellwho moved to Chilli-
wack after living for several years inAgassiznow uses a small cane towalk, but he has no plans to stop rid-ing. (He says his wife has long sinceaccepted his need to ride.)Funnell isnt rich, but he doesnt
need to be. The bike he rode toMary-land gets 55miles to the gallonandone of the reasons hes gave it up isbecause themodifiedYamaha he has
to replace it will get even better mile-age. His belief in hiding away saveshim money, and his wife has filledhis pod with enough food. And thosebooks.His old bike will remain in Mary-
land, but when Funnell returns toChilliwack, hell get right to work onthe third version of his pod trailer,which he hopes will be warmer andsleeker than the earliermodels.Now I shall make Mach 3, he
said. It will be much the same and awhole lot better.It better be better; he may be 77,
but Funnell is no snowbird whoheads south at the first sign of badweather.Thirty years after he made his
admittedly foolhardy run north toTuktoyaktuk against the wishes ofthe Canadian government, Funnell atleast wants the option to return to theArctic, should the urge seize him.It will be super insulated; Ill be
able to use the ice roads againifanyone wants to ride a solo motor-cycle on ice roads, he said.He says it with a note of whimsy in
his English accent, but one cant helpbut get the sense that Funnell isntbuildingasuper-insulatedpodtomakesummer ridingmorecomfortable.

RCMP are now investigat-ing with the goal of havingone or more of the pit bullsseized under section 49 ofthe community charter.We are now aware of Sec-
tion 49 of the CommunityCharter andour investigationis now based on this, RCMPspokesperson Cpl. Len van-Nieuwenhuizen said.He also said that in the
process of investigating the
matter, the owner of thedogs informed police hehad moved them to anotherproperty.Police dont know where
the dogs are nor have theyconfirmed that the dogs areno longer on the 20-acreproperty.I really hope the police
can track down those dogsso they cant hurt anyoneelse, Zandberg said.
CorrectionIn the Sept. 19 story on the
pit bulls, the location wasdescribed as area A in theFVRD. The property in ques-tion is in area D.

Themurder trial of GeorgeMitchellAllgood is on a long break after hisdefence lawyer raised the questionof possible newevidence.Morris Bodnar asked for a one-month
adjournment lastWednesday, saying hehad been approached at an earlier pointin the trialwhich began Sept. 9bysomeone who gave him vague informa-tion that hepassedon topolice.Police have further investigated, and
it deals with an individual and a finger-print found on the door (at the shootingscene) and there has been a comparisondone . . . and they are unable to includeor exclude that as being the person whodid it, Bodnar said in court. He said hewants to get another opinion from anoutside agency.Allgood lived in Chilliwack for years
and was known to many in the com-munity under the false identity RenoTrevor Hogg. He met the mother of hisfour-year-old son and the victim in thismurder trial, Susan Reinhardt, in Chilli-wackwhileworking at Sto:loNation.Allgood is on trial for first-degree
murder and attempted murder in theshooting of Reinhardt andDavid Ristowon July 15, 2006. Reinhardt died of gun-shot wounds while Ristowwas seriouslyinjured.Allgoods fingerprint was not a match
to the partial print found on the patiodoor that led into the bedroom whereReinhardt and Ristow were sleeping.
Nor did his DNAmatchDNA foundon two shotgunshells at the scene;Bodnar said hewould like a DNAanalysis done onthe unnamednewindividual aswell.Crown prosecu-
tor Robin Ritterargued the court should hear more evi-dence about this potential new informa-tionbefore granting the adjournment.Before you adjourn a trial like this for
such a long period of time, perhaps thecourt needs to knowwhether or not thisis informationwithmerit . . . or based onahunchby somecharacterwhowandersthrough thecourtroomandspeaks toMr.Bodnar, Ritter said.
Justice GrantCurrie grantedthe adjournment,noting the requestfalls under thebroad umbrella oftrial fairness.The matter will
be spoken to onOct. 24 in Sas-katoon Court ofQueens Bench,
at which time a date for trial continua-tionwill be discussed. Bodnar raised theissue of new information after theCrownfinished a two day cross-examination ofAllgood, who denied shooting ReinhardtandRistow.AvideoofAllgoods interview
with police just hours after the shootingwasplayed incourtWednesdaymorning.Init,Allgoodwhohadpreviouslyservedtime for a killing in theUnited States andwas known under the false identity ofReno Trevor Hogg at the timereactedwith shock when Sgt. Randy HuismantoldhimSusanReinhardtwas dead.Susan?Susansdead?Get the f---outof
here, Allgood said in an interview at theSaskatoonpolice stationon July 15, 2006.The Crown played the video after All-
good testified on Tuesday that he waswith certain individuals at the timeof theshootingproviding somenames for thefirst time. On the video, Allgood refusedto answer questions about where hewasat the time of the shooting and repeat-edly asked tohave a lawyer present.HeaskedHuisman ifpolicewere inves-
tigating David Ristow, Reinhardts com-mon-lawhusband.When Huisman said Ristow had been
shot at the same time as Reinhardt, All-good again appeared surprised.What? What is going on here? . . .
Whendid that happen?Allgood asked.His statements in that interview differ
markedly from what he told an under-cover police officer three-and-a-halfyears later at the culmination of an oper-ation that targeted Allgood by drawinghim into a fake criminal organization.On Jan. 3, 2010, Allgood told a fake
mobboss thathe shotReinhardt andRis-tow; he shared details such as where heacquired a shotgun and shells. However,he testified Tuesday that he was lying inthat interview because he feared for hislife if he didnt tell themob boss what hewanted tohear.

Every year, local govern-ments in Canada spend$2.6 billion of taxpayermoney managing 34 milliontonnes of garbage. For decades,our emphasis has been on wastemanagementwe accept theproblem as unavoidable and doour best to reduce its negativeimpacts.Through activities like recy-
cling, composting and waste-to-energy, we extract the maximumvalue from materials, but thesemethods dont address the rootcauses of waste.So why do we have waste in
the first place?In a word: design. The things
we buy and use daily aredesigned to be thrown away.Wecall this cradle-to-grave designbecause products are born, usedfor a while and finally discardedto be buried or burned.But there is a new paradigm
on the horizon, cradle-to-cradle, where manufacturersconsciously design their prod-ucts and packaging to be easilydisassembled, repaired, reusedand recycled.Cradle-to-cradle represents
a shift from a take, make andthrow away model to a circu-lar economy, where end-of-life materials become inputsfor new products, just like in
nature.Picture a forest floor: billions
of years of collective evolutionhave created a system wherenutrients and materials floweffortlessly and reciprocally,without any waste whatsoever.That is the kind of economicsystem we should aspire to,and nature may be our greatestteacher.According to cradle-to-cradle
visionariesWilliam McDonoughand Michael Braungart, wecan eliminate the concept ofwastenot reduce, minimize,or avoid it, but eliminate thevery concept, through mindfuldesign.Were all in this together, and
there are many opportunitiesfor positive action. Govern-ments can enact laws to sup-port the emergence of a circulareconomy, while creating a levelplaying field that fosters innova-tion.Businesses can empower
their creative designers and
engineers to make productswhose materials remain use-ful at the end, while usingreclaimed materials in newproducts. Businesses can alsoencourage innovative, sustain-able packaging with end-of-lifesolutions.And municipalities, NGOs and
other sustainability advocatescan work collaboratively to edu-cate consumers, while promot-ing zero-waste habits.Thats what Canadas new
National ZeroWaste Council isall aboutgovernment, busi-ness and NGO leaders joiningforces to advocate for sustain-able design, to influence con-sumer behaviour and to lobbysenior governments for betterlaws, all toward transformingour relationship with waste.We need to rethink waste
on all levels, and by workingtogether, we will do it.Join us at Metro Vancouvers
third annual ZeroWaste Con-ference on Oct. 16, where wewill officially launch CanadasNational ZeroWaste Council.
Malcolm Brodie is the chair ofthe National ZeroWaste Coun-cil. He is also the chair of MetroVancouvers ZeroWaste Commit-tee and the Mayor of the City ofRichmond.
Blowinghot air onjobs planThe provincial governments BC JobsPlan 24-month progress report lookspretty rosy . . . or at least, its reporton the report looks good.The actual report itself is loaded with
rose-coloured baffle-gab that attemptstomask a grim realitythe province isntreally doing particularly well in a continu-ing sluggish global economy that hasalmost nobody doing very well.Premier Christy Clarkmaintains she is
tremendously proud of the Jobs Plansprogress since it was instituted two yearsago.Jobs, Tourism and Skills TrainingMin-
ister Shirley Bond, who hasmost recentlyinherited responsibility for the Jobs Plan,optimistically adds that the report that ourplan is working.The report is peppered with positive
enthusiasm suggesting successesbut itis also salted with carefully chosen euphe-misms that hide realistic phrases that burythe success under politicians question-able hopes and dreams. The provinceis on the threshold of success, andhas successfully aided in the progresstowards prospective agreements thatcould (if they get beyond the prospectivestage) realize 29,000 jobs.In fact, the provinces private sector is
down thousands of full-time jobsin realnumbers, not just short of goalssincethe Job Plan was instituted in 2011. Natu-rally, Clarks government continues to pinits hopes on liquified natural gasbutreading between the carefully wordedlines suggests that the dream ismany kilo-metres short of pipe.The dismal economy is a problem for
everyone.We get that. Its the dishonestythat rankles.

people who work hard andoften put themselves at riskfor our safety, just becausethey arent fully conver-sant with the letter of thelaw outside of their usualmandate. If the firefighterin question had insisted onbarringme from the sceneof the accident, I would haveinstructed him, as stridentlyas necessary (and indeed, Ihave been forced to do so,on occasion).My column [Morbid curi-
osity raises rates, Sept. 17 BeOur Guest,ChilliwackTimes]was an expression of sympa-thy for the crap those guyshave to put upwith frompeoplewhomisinterpret thelaw tomean that they havethe right to poke their nosescarelessly into accidentscenes, often hampering res-cue efforts and creatingmorehavocthe rubber-neckingwomanwho smashed intothe car in front of her was aperfect case in point.Thats where I prefer to
direct my disdain.If you want to take pic-
tures of an accident scene
or of emergency workers atwork, go ahead. And if youfeel the need to express yourlegal right to do so, by allmeans, go ahead.But you do not have the
rightnot legally, and cer-tainly notmorallyto get intheir way.As a community newspa-
per journalist with decadesof experience, I have neverhad any difficulty standingup formy communitys rightto information. But when Ican, Id rather work with ouremergency responders thanagainst them.Sometimes growing a
pair means doing your jobwithoutmaking a fuss overthe things that dont matter.

On troglodytictrash disposalEditor:I have just stumbled upon
the opinion piece by JohnLes (formerMLA and nowpaid lobbyist forWastechServices) on the Sept. 8 issueof the Vancouver Sun.I must say I find it quite
amusing thatMr. Les cau-tionsMetroVancouver notto listen to what lobbyistsare pushing, and to listeninstead to sensible wastemanagement plans. In say-ing so, wittingly or not, Mr.Les is givingMetro a verystrong hint not to listento him since he himself isobviously one of the biggest

pushers for troglodyticmethod of garbage disposal,such as taking the stuff as faraway as possible from theLowerMainland and bury-ing it where nobody can seeitexcept of course for thepeoplewho live in the CacheCreek-Ashcroft areawhosehealth is at risk andmay beat risk for centuries to come.Mr. Les would lead us to
believe thatWastech and itsmethods are sort of saviour-like. He forgets (to admit)that the primarymotivationofWastech is to continueto to reap the huge profitsit has enjoyed for the past25 years, and that the onlypeople whomay indeedseeWastech as a saviourare the pushers of the sta-tus quomainly those inthe FraserValley RegionalDistrict, who, to retain theirown purity, have no appar-ent qualms of conscienceabout putting us all, nativeand non-native alike, at riskhere in Ashcroft and CacheCreek.And when it comes to pos-
itive and negative approach-es to wastemanagement,lets give due credit toMetro,which is doing far morecomposting and recyclingthan ever before, and letsgo heavily thumbs downonWastech, which, thoughthey have been directed bytheMinistry to collect andconvert to useful energy themassive amounts of gasesthat continue to escapefrom the Cache Creek dump,just continue to stall, allow-ing all this poison to escapeinto the atmoshere.Somuch forWastech, so

Conscience anddignity lackingEditor:In response toMr. Harris
Sugimotos letter to the edi-tor on Sept. 19, Bob shouldhave reported names.Your letter of criticism
regarding a journalist beingasked by a fire crew to stopphotographing an accidentscene misses the point: thatit was an accident scene,involving an injured party.The emergency responderswere acting to protect thedignity and identity of theinjured person. Your indig-nant suggestion that theirnames be published andthat they should be disci-plined I find outrageous.You go on to state that wehave a right, and maybeeven a duty, to record ourpublic officials at work,especially firefighters andpolice. You mention theToronto streetcar incidentas an example of policedoing bad things, but thatis a complete disconnectfrom first responders atan accident scene.Who
LETTERS, from page 9 appointed you judge andjury of these professionalresponders?Your letter exemplifies
the oftenmisguided, self-important attitude of toomany people with a smart-phone who fancy them-selves experts in journalismand law.What is lacking inthis brave newworld of gon-zo journalism is conscienceand dignity.I think that if you were
ever to find yourself in asimilar predicament to thatunfortunate accident victim,
Mr. Sugimoto, you wouldfeel very vulnerable indeedhaving someone nearbywho feels he or she has theright and duty to photo-graph you in your time ofdistress.Unless you are a desig-
nated journalist coveringsuch an occurrence, thenrecording these incidentsis voyeurism, pure andsimple.

As RCMP Cpl. Lee Dyson writes up adistracted driving ticket on EvansParkway on Thursday, he lifts his headto see a vehicle cruising past with a for-salesign on the windshield, another infraction.Const. Mike Sabulsky pulls over a vehicle in
which the passenger is not wearing his seat-belt and, after clocking a woman speedingwith his radar gun, Const. Chris Boden stepsout onto the road to urge her to slow down.The three cant keep up with the number
of driving infractions during a half-hourperiod the Times joined the Mounties on atraffic enforcement blitz.On Thursday, the RCMP, the provincial
government and ICBC launched a month-long distracted driving campaign.Dyson is head of the Chilliwack Traffic
Services unit. He was out with the two oth-er officers and MikeWeightman, local roadsafety co-ordinator for ICBC. They werepulling over distracted drivers and handingout $167 fines. The officers were assisted bytwo Chilliwack SpeedWatch volunteers andan undercover officer who pointed out viola-tions.On average, 91 people are killed each year
in B.C. due to driver distractions, whichincludes using hand-held electronic devicesbehind the wheel.Distracted driving is the third leading
cause of fatal car crashes in the provincebehind speeding and impaired driving.With vacations over and kids back in
school, our roads are busy again, which iswhy were asking drivers to leave the phonealone and stay focused on the road, saidTodd Stone, Minister of Transportation andInfrastructure, in a press release. Youre fourtimes more likely to crash when talking on ahand-held phone behind the wheel, and 23times more likely to get in a crash if you textwhile driving.A 2012 Ipsos Reid survey, conducted on
behalf of ICBC, showed that B.C. driversconsider texting while driving to be just asrisky as drinking and driving, yet 40 per centof those who own cellphones admit theyveused their hand-held phone while driving.In a two-hour period on Thursday, police
issued seven tickets for seatbelt violations,six for using an electronic device while driv-ing, two for speeding, two for vehicle defectsand one for operating contrary to driverslicence restrictions.But it wasnt all fines and warnings Thurs-
day on Evans Parkway. Dyson shared a laughwith one driver and his passenger afterSpeed Watch volunteers called in a driveron cellphone. Dyson pulled the vehicle overonly to find theman on the phonewas in theleft-hand seat, but it was a right-hand driveSUV.

Local chief a specimenBY TYLER [email protected]
Hockey players come in avariety of shapes and sizes:short, tall, skinny, almost-fat. They might be athletic, butmanyespecially in juniorhockey,when players are still growing intotheir bodiesare not athletes.Kyle Westeringh, though, is an
athlete.At just 17 years old, the young
Chilliwack Chief fills out his five-foot-11 frame like a man. And hesable to hurtle that frame aroundthe ice at a rate of speed not easilymatched by his peers.Its a good combination for a
player just four games into his first
junior hockey seasona stage atwhich a young hockey playersmain duty is to get the puck deepin the opposing teams zone andcreate havoc.Hes a bit of a specimen, physi-
cally, and hes going to get biggerand stronger, said Chiefs assistantcoach Doug Ast.Theres no question thatWester-
ingh belongs on the Prospera Cen-tre ice.Which is good, because theChiliwack minor hockey productis more than just a young energyplayer to the Chiefs. A franchisewith the slogan ChilliwacksTeam needs at least a couplelocals wearing the jersey on theice, and with Josh Hansons depar-ture, the emergence of another
local player who grew up cheer-ing on the Chiefs helps maintainthat connection between the com-munity and the team. (NetminderJosh Halpenny is the only otherChief raised in Chilliwack).Westeringh is happy to be that
Bridge.I always wanted to be part of
the Chiefs, in my hometown play-ing in front of friends and familyand obviously with the support ofthe best fans in the league, hesaid. Its always been a dream ofmine to play inmy hometown.Westeringh tried out for the
Chiefs last year, but failed to stickwith the team. It was disappoint-ing, he said, especially with apair of other 1996-born forwards
making the cut. Westeringh,though, persevered, and put upsolid numbers20 points in 25gamesplaying with the majormidget FraserValleyThunderbirds.He also managed to see action asan affiliated player in three BCHLgames for the Chiefs.He said being cut gave him that
muchmore of a drive tomake theteam this year. He evidently didmore than enough, and the Chiefsannounced his addition to theirroster prior to the start of trainingcamp this year.It was the fulfillment of a pair
of dreamsboth for Westeringhand his mother, who he says wasless than enthused about her child
Tyler Olsen/TIMES
Kyle Westeringh grew up watching the Chiefs. Now the 17-year-old Chilliwack secondary student is wearing the teams colours on the ice.

The Valley Huskers face an uphill battle tosecure a playoff spot during the last twogamesof theB.C. Football Conference season.After a 54-7 loss to the Langley Rams Satur-
day, the Huskers are tied for fourth place withthe Kamloops Broncos, who fell 30-0 to theOkanaganSunover theweekend.While one of the Broncos final two games is
against the last-placeWestshore Rebels, how-ever, theHuskers face two teams (the Sun andthe Vancouver Island Raiders) currently in athree-way tie for first.When it goes to points, [the Broncos] have
two points extra, Huskers head coach TysonSt. James told the Times. We need to win agame before the end of the year, and we needWestshore to beat Kamloops.But the Huskers are going to need a few
morehealthy bodies tomake that happen.The team has had key injuries throughout
the season andwas already fielding a skeletoncrew Saturdaywhen linebacker Cody Slagman
was sidelined with a knee injury that couldkeephimout for the rest of the season.Hes within the top three defensive players
in the league, St. James said.Injuries also ravaged the defensive line Sat-
urday. We basically had four defensive line-men; two of themwent down, St. James said.We usually play with four up front, so weactually had a backup offensive lineman play-ingnose tackle.Not surprisingly theLangleyRamsrackedup
a lot of offence: 414 yards toValleys 56.Dylan Boykowich put upmore than half of
the Huskers 40 passing yards, picking up 19yards on twopasses.Ty DeRayos contributed 12 yards on five
carries to theHuskers scanty 26-yard rushingtotal.One bright spot in the game was a Rams
puntblocked, snapped up and run into theend zonebyBoykowich in the secondquarter.The Huskers next game is on Sunday, Sept.
29 in Kelowna against the Okanagan Sun.Kickoff is at 2 p.m. Formore information, visitwww.bcfcfootball.com.

through hands-on involvement, offersa sense of accomplishment I havefound in the Chamber as well.Fieny entered employment with the
