The Chilliwack Teachers’ Asso-ciation (CTA) won’t officiallyendorse candidates for theMay 14 provincial election,
but it will grill local election hopefulsat a teacher-hosted all-candidatesmeeting May 2.
“We want to see somebody whosupports education,” CTA presidentClint Johnston told theTimes. “I doubtthat we’ll find any that say they don’tsupport it, but we’d like to find candi-dates who have some sort of proventrack record that they support it.”
While the B.C. Teachers’ Federationis officially non-partisan, local unionsare free to endorse candidates, andsome—like theVancouver ElementarySchool Teachers’ Association and theBurnaby Teachers’ Association—are
publicly backing the NDP.But that won’t happen here, accord-
ing to Johnston.“Each individual member within
the CTA gets to make the choice onElection Day who they support,” hesaid. “I don’t think that we should bespeaking for them.”
The CTA forum—the first all-candi-dates meeting announced so far—willbe open to everyone.
Candidates will have two minutesfor opening remarks and then fieldtwo questions from the local teach-ers union before answering questionsfrom the floor.
CTA officials have yet to craft theirtwo questions, but forum co-ordina-
tor (and CTA past president) KatharinMidzain said one big concern amongteachers is what she calls the “erosion”public education and social servicesover the past 10 years.
“A huge issue is going to be howvaluable does [the candidate’s] partysee a full, free public education systemin our province,” she said. “Do theyvalue an honestly free—which meansno parent fundraising—public educa-tion system?”
With B.C. teachers’ current interimcollective agreement set to expire atthe end of June, another teacher prior-ity will be electing a government moreopen to negotiation and “good-faith”bargaining, according to Johnston.
“We feel like the current one haschosen to go more with legislationthan with bargaining,” he said.
In terms of the all-candidatesforum, however, he said the CTA’s goalis mostly to help local citizens get toknow their candidates better.
“We just think it’s important thateveryone—teachers, non-teacher,anyone—it’s important that they’reinformed and that they have an ideaof what the different candidates standfor before they make a choice on Elec-tion Day.”
◗ The CTA all-candidates forum startsat 7 p.m. on May 2 at Evergreen Hall(9291 Corbould St.).
Candidates won’t get local endorsementUnlike other teacher associations in the province,Chilliwack won’t publicly back election candidates

For a while, a wide rain-bow hovered over thebig park in Mission early
Thursday evening, then theheavy rain clouds rolled backto let the setting sun beamdown on the communitygathered to grieve one of itsshining lights.
As darkness fell, at least 400people came to share theirgrief at a tearful candlelightvigil at Fraser River HeritagePark for Rachel Pernosky.
The bubbly 18-year-oldmother disappeared fromher Kite Street apartment inMission sometime early onMarch 16 under suspiciouscircumstances. Her body wasdiscovered on March 19 offOld Orchard Road on Chilli-wack Mountain. A homicideinvestigation is underway.
For more than two hours,mourners stood hushed in asemi-circle around the park’sgazebo. They held candles,cupping cold hands aroundtiny flames flickering in thechilly wind. At one point a
tall blond woman sang a fewverses of Amazing Grace, andothers joined in.
Among those paying theirrespect were people who nev-er knew her.
“We’re just here to supportthe family. We’re parents too,”said Bob and Julie, who wereRachel’s neighbours. Juliewas also one of hundreds offriends and residents whosearched for the young wom-an after she disappeared.
The crowd of mostly youngwomen and men, Rachel’sfriends and peers, huddled ingroups and sobbed quietly.Their faces showed their grief
and their disbelief that one oftheir own had been taken socruelly.
In the gazebo, dozens ofcandles blazed on a long tableand on the floor, illuminatingflowers, cards, teddies andRachel’s smiling face peeringout from portraits and collag-es of moments in her life withloved ones. One of the mostheartbreaking was a photoof Rachel with her sleepinginfant son—her face glowswith a mother’s love as shelooks into the camera.
Rachel’s family also attend-ed, with her one-year-old sonMarco, to view the tributes
at the memorial and to shedmore tears.
The vigil was organized bybest friend Cassidy Scott, 18,who knew Rachel from child-hood.
“Anyone who knew Rachelknew she was a very happy,loving person,” she told thecrowd, fighting back tears.“We’ll all really miss Rachel.She’d be very touched to seehow much everyone cared.”◗ A benefit concert by localband Random Dander on Fri-day raised more than $4,500for the Pernosky family.

Tearfulvigil forRachel
Jean Konda-Witte/TIMES
A candlelight vigil was held last week in honour of teen mother Rachel Pernosky.
Pacholuk said investiga-tors had promised to restorewater to the jail cell onceFrederickson complied witha request to have swabs tak-en from his hands and pho-tographs of his injuries.
Frederickson, though,refused an attempt by offi-cers to collect the evidence.While officers providedwater in a cup while theyattempted to collect the evi-dence, Pacholuk said waterto the fountain was notrestored.
Earlier in the day, Fred-erickson—who is deaf andhas some troubleverbally communi-cating—asked offi-cers for water from aplace other than thejail cell fountain.
“ T h i s w a s t h es a m e m a n w h o,w h e n y o u w e r ein cells with him,” Beatchasked Pacholuk, “asked forwater and pointed to thesink and said ‘Not like this.Germ.’ and again pointed tothe sink and said, ‘Germ. Idon’t want to touch it.”
“Yes,” replied Pacholuk.“This is the same man who
went from that statement towhat we see now drinkingfrom the toilet and leaningover it,” Beatch said.
Beatch questioned whyturning off the water wasnecessary, since Frederick-
son had had plenty of timebefore his arrest to washhis hands, and had in factalready done so once thatday while in cells.
Pacholuk said there stillcould have been someresidual evidence. But hesaid water could have beenturned on earlier.
Frederickson displayedan “altered level of con-
sciousness” whenhe was admitted tohospital. His condi-tion improved afterbeing given Benad-ryl for a rash and IVfluids. After severalhours in hospital, hewas returned to his
cell that night.After his arrest on Dec.
13, 2010, Frederickson wascharged with assaultingPlanje, a 64-year-old fam-ily friend who had takenthe troubled crack addictinto his Ashwell Road home.Those charges were upgrad-ed to murder in January of2011, after Planje’s body wasfound down an embank-ment near Hope.
Frederickson’s trial contin-ues and is expected to lastinto late April.

The controversial provincial governmentpractice of allowing gravel removal inthe Fraser River for flood protection is
coming under fire once again.Chilliwack MLA John Les has long been a
proponent of regular gravel removal as a floodprotection measure, but crit-ics have argued that salmonspawning grounds pay theprice.
A recent report by Universityof British Columbia professoremeritus Michael Church, anexpert on geomorphology andhydrology, says that aggregatemining is not the solution tomanaging the gravel reach.
“It is not clear that the present program ofannual sediment removals is serving an essen-tial purpose, while it does place at some riskelements of the aquatic ecosystem,” Churchwrites in the report. “It appears increasinglydoubtful that a program of regularly scheduledgravel removals is necessary at all.”
Church says flood threat is not a matter ofthe gravel accumulation but is rather one of
water levels, which is a factor of channel align-ment.
Dike construction is expensive and re-nat-uralizing the river on its historic course willnever be permitted due to settlement in thegravel reach—the area from Sumas Mountainto Laidlaw. Gravel mining has been seen to bethe solution but as Church and others haveobserved, the practice simply doesn’t work.
Church does suggest, however, that somemodest level of gravel removal can be toler-ated by the aquatic habitat of the river and thatfurther study is needed.
“But we know from experience in many riv-ers around the world that removing sedimentin quantities that exceeds the rate of deposi-tion leads to significant changes in river mor-
phology that are generallyecologically unfavourable,”he writes.
Part of Church’s focus is onfish habitat and the fact that24 of the approximately 30fish species in the Fraser Riverhave been found in habitatsnear the edges of gravel bars.
“[I]f the river cannot suc-cessfully rear juvenile fish, it will not be pro-ductive.”
Church’s report parallels some of the con-tent of a short book published last year, Stur-geon Reach, by Terry Glavin and Ben Parfitt.
“Despite hundreds of thousands of tonnesof gravel that have been excavated from theriver’s gravel bars, the threat of flooding hadbeen reduced not one iota,” the authors wrote.

While Halliday lives in Abbotsford, he saidhe will run in the Chilliwack riding becausethat is where his “power base” is.
As for where on the political spectrum helies, Halliday said he is in the centre with someideas that“will benefit the wealthier and biggerbusiness” and some “that will benefit labourunions.”
Halliday was asked if a party based on thelegendary sword of King Arthur would be tak-en seriously.
“I think it confuses some people. Other peo-ple instantly know what we are saying. Otherpeople take it quite literally.”
Halliday is actively seeking candidates forhis party. He said he has some possible nameslined up for Chilliwack-Hope and Abbotsfordbut nothing confirmed.
To find our more about the party visit www.bcexcaliburparty.com.
Other election notes and tweets:The first all-candidates meeting of the elec-
tion has been organized by the ChilliwackTeachers Association. The meeting will be heldMay 2 at 7 p.m. See page 3 for more on this.
Chilliwack-Hope MLA and NDP candi-date Gwen O’Mahony continued her “mobileoffice” tour Monday visiting a number of FirstNations reserves in the area with a stop atSoowahlie.
Senior federal NDP strategist Brian Topp,who is now the campaign director for the BCNDP 2013 election, used O’Mahony’s 2012byelection win as an example of inroads theparty can make in 2013.
“As we demonstrated in Chilliwack, we cannow win anywhere in B.C.,” Topp said in a par-ty newsletter.
O’Mahony’s most recent tweet on Mondayreferenced the visit to Soowahlie.
Chilliwack NDP candidate Patti MacAhonicwas in O’Mahony’s riding on Sunday for a tourof the Yarrow Ecovillage. MacAhonic’s latesttweet on Sunday was a link to photos from thevisit on her Facebook page.
The BC Liberals were actively campaigningon the weekend at the Big Red Barn BurnerBBQ competition where, led by Chilliwack can-didate John Martin, local Liberals served up ribsand other slow-roasted goodies to the public.
Martin’s latest Tweet from Sunday was aphoto of long lines for their award-winningribs at the event.
Chilliwack-Hope Liberal candidate LaurieThroness was at the BBQ Sunday, but he wasalso out in the riding visiting with constituents.His latest Tweet from Saturday was a photoof him and a volunteer out in the sunshineknocking on doors.
The BC Conservatives (BCCP) have contin-ued with their local campaigning although sofar it has mostly been in the form of a socialmedia onslaught.
Chilliwack BCCP candidate Chad Eros hasopened a campaign office downtown at 46239Yale Rd. and he’s been heavily active on Twit-ter. There has been an ongoing back-and-forth between Eros, fellow BCCP candidatefor Chilliwack-Hope Michael Henshall and acouple of local Liberals, including Chilliwackriding association president Collin Rogers andChilliwack MLA John Les’s son Allan.
Most of the Twitter conversation has centredaround just how conservative the BC Liberalsare and whether voting BCCP could lead tovote splitting and an NDP victory.
Eros’s most recent tweet to Les and Rogersfrom Monday morning: “Don’t U want conser-vatives 2 have their own house with their ownterms where we won’t be marginalized? U rconsrv?”
Another recent missive from Eros: “Dear BCvoters, in a BC minority gvt, which is most like-ly coalition? NDP with Consrvs or NDP withLibs? If U R consrv please vote BCCP.”
As for Henshall, his most recent tweet was inresponse to the recent news that Paul Simonhad agreed to allow the song The Sound ofSilence to be used in an anti-oil tanker videocreated by Coastal First Nations: “Paul Simoncan give 5Bil for BC social programs, or stick acork in it. BCCP wants 2 refine product 4 dom& export.”
Green Party candidate for Chilliwack KimReimer’s most recent tweet thanked a Centralelementary teacher for an invite to the school’smock provincial election.

This is the kind of story thatshould be served as a dietarysupplement; it’s full of irony.
The Canada School of PublicService, which trains bureaucrats,is in trouble for breaking its ownrules on contracting.
The CSPS (sample course title:Leadership ThroughValues andEthics) apparently rigged contractsfor outside or temporary workers.
Now there’s a crackdown, ofcourse, and maybe some headswill roll, but are we shocked? Notreally.
This reminds me of the otherstory making the rounds last week,about the humility of newly electedPope Francis I.
We are told that the day afterbeing named the leader of morethan a billion Catholics, Francisshunned the “papal limousine”and then headed by more modestvehicle to pay his hotel fee.
This was shocking behaviour—because why? Please, someoneexplain to me how a man who hastaken vows of poverty refusingto ride in a limo is not absolutelynormal.
I’m not a Catholic, but is thereany religious viewpoint from whichthe phrase “papal limousine”makes sense? Is there also a papalgold-plated bathroom, a papalmitre-shaped swimming pool, apapal high-roller account in LasVegas?
Then, here in British Columbia,
we have both the Liberals andthe NDP having trouble discern-ing exactly what the difference isbetween private and party money.The Liberals, who have their handson the levers of power, have beenwinning the race to blow publicmoney on getting re-elected,whether through the pander-ing ethnic outreach strategy orthrough the deniable (but odious)ads about the BC Jobs Plan and therecent budget.
All of these things are indicationsto me that power corrupts, thatprivilege and luck come to be seenas rights.
Human beings (definitely includ-ing me) are blinkered and stupid,most of the time.
I have been known to whineand complain about my lot in life,about my job, about the weather,about how bacon-flavoured tooth-paste is hard to find.
Every now and again, I givemyself a smack and repeat thehumility mantra: I am a straightwhite male living in the dawnof the 21st century. I am literate,employed, and connected to the
internet. The number of peoplewho have ever, in history, had it asgood as me is microscopic.
As author John Scalzi pointedout, being a white, straight male isbasically playing life at the lowestdifficulty setting.
Most important, it’s undeserved.Those bureaucrats rigging con-
tracts, or those past papal officialswho signed off on the limo, orthose politicians who funded theirre-election efforts out of the publictill, all felt they deserved it.
They’re underappreciated, orthey’re holy, or they’re just on theright side of history, see?
Everyone does this in smallerways.We worked hard, so wedeserve our houses and big-screenTVs and vacations.We’re better,somehow, than those people inother places who work much,much harder and live in shanty-towns.We tell ourselves our stationin life isn’t largely the product ofluck, because that doesn’t bearthinking about.
You think you want things toactually be fair?You think youdeserve every good thing that everhappened to you?
Give your head a shake. Thescariest thing you can imagine isa world in which we would all betreated with absolute, pitiless fair-ness.

Gettingthat sinkingfeelingT
he federal government’s decisionto close a freshwater researchfacility in Northern Ontarioknown as the Experimental Lakes
Area is one more example of the Toryadministration’s distaste for science.
The project in question has spent 45years researching the effects of pollutionon fresh water—you know, the stuff wedrink for, well, life.
The closed system of the ELA allowedscientists to accurately assess the long-term effects of changing just one elementin the surrounding ecosystem such as afertilizer or pesticide chemical. Movingthe research elsewhere into uncontrolledwater means research will no longer beconclusive.
Don’t expect to hear complaints fromthe scientists themselves. The Torieshave increasingly cut off all government-employed researchers from speakingfreely with the media, last year going sofar as to have government handlers trailCanadian scientists attending interna-tional conferences.
A clear signpost was the 2011 decisionto end the mandatory long-form census,a move that caused the head of StatisticsCanada to resign, saying the move wouldcompromise its accuracy.
And last year, the Tories infamouslysnuck science-slashing legislation intothe back pages of its budget.
Other countries have noticed, even ifmany Canadians remain unconvinced.U.S. scientists working co-operativelywith Canadian scientists on Arcticresearch last year were aghast whenasked not to release data without Cana-dian government permission.
Against this backdrop, it’s difficult totake seriously last week’s promise toresearch how diluted bitumen behaves insalt water.

Editor:I could not believe my
ears when I heard thatTamihi Creek was going tobe turned into a run of theriver project.
I have never heard any-thing so dimwitted in myentire life. Why ruin oneof the most beautiful andnature waterways in theprovince, let alone ruin it forfishermen, kayakers, etc. toproduce electricity we don’teven need?
Run of the river projectsshould have been put out oftheir misery a long time ago.They produce buckets ofpower in the spring runoff,but BC Hydro doesn’t needthe extra power at that timeof year as they can producelots of extra power with theirown generators. The rest ofthe year the run of the riv-ers produce next to nothingand BC Hydro is obliged tobuy their power at exorbitantprices, even though they stilldon’t really need it. The onlyones who benefit are thestockholders of the companythat operates the project.
Once again, the citizens ofB.C. are shafted so that somestockholders somewherehave a good year, no matterwhat seriously detrimentaleffect these projects haveon waterways, salmon, andthe citizens who use themfor recreation. I wonder howmuch money ended up inwhose pockets so that thistravesty was put in place inthe first place?
Why don’t we dam theFraser and put concretewalls all the way down to thesea? It would make it mucheasier for the gravel compa-nies to get the gravel out. Weshould cut down all the treesbeside all the highways as itwould make it easier to seewhat’s up ahead. Why notpave the whole valley?
When is this idiocy goingto stop?

No way to telljust by lookingEditor:
Regarding “Miss Teenbrings big rewards” March23, Times.
Congratulations Brittany;such a scholarship amountwould indeed be a great prize.
The story presents that thebikini contest is acceptedbecause “they want to findgirls who are also devoted tofitness and staying healthy.”That implies the judges havesome supernatural abilityto assess fitness, health, andcommitment to those attri-butes by simply staring froma moderate distance at one’smostly unclothed body.
As a kinesiologist (thatinvolves being a fitness andhealth professional), I haveconducted innumerable fit-
ness and health assessmentsover the past 20 years; I cansay with certainty that fit-ness, health, and devotion tothose is not so readily appar-ent by appearance. One mayhave what’s considered abikini contest winning bodyand have fitness and healthbehaviours which are appall-ing. Contrarily, one may haveexcellent fitness and healthlevels and behaviours, buthave a body likely to be con-sidered by beauty contestjudges as not having photo-genic appeal.
I note the MTCW websiteshows in their FAQ sectionthat fitness is a level of theircompetition, but see nomethod for assessing fitness;I also note the section underFinals-Competition omitsfitness from the judgmentlevels, but has added “photo-genic appeal,” and includesevening gown and swimwearelements. Clearly, physicalappearance matters in thejudging.
Ironically, the website alsosays “Height has no bearingon the MTCW competition.To us, being 5’1” is just asbeautiful as being 5’11”. Thiscompetition it about youshining from the inside out!”
Quite simply, one cannotreliably judge fitness andhealth (or devotion toward)by visual appearance. Itseems the message sent byMTCW is duplicitous. Theyexpect good moral characterin the contestants, but mis-lead about the very nature oftheir “competition.” At leastthat’s how it appears underscrutiny, and this judgmentmay get it all wrong, but in away that’s my point.

Nothing wrongwith chlorineEditor:
The idea that chlorine isgoing to kill everyone, ormake everyone sick, is ludi-crous. It is used worldwideto prevent the diabolical E.coli virus, and when kept toits intended levels, you willnot even know it is there.
The idea of using UV is OKas long as each and everyhome and business, etc.uses it, while keeping a rig-
orous maintenance programof cleaning and replacingfilters. Remember, the viruswill survive in filters that arenot changed regularly, andthey (filters) can actuallybecome a breeding groundfor other types of viruses.
The 450,000 kms of pipethat feed Chilliwack’s watercan only be kept safe byadding chlorine. Just makesure that the people incharge of chlorinating knowwhat they are doing. Walk-erton’s employees chose notto add enough chlorine (ornone at all) and kept inaccu-rate records of residuals. andlook what happened.

Need to ask thetough questionsEditor
I am a newcomer to theB.C. wild salmon crisis. Irecently viewed a free docu-mentary by Twyla Roscovichwww.Salmon Confidential.ca which started me thinkingabout my mother.
My mother was an edu-cator. (Educe meaning todraw out or extract.) Shebrought forth from peopletheir ideas and thoughts. Sheknew how to ask questionsand she knew how to listen.She thought that if some-thing had been made then itshould be used.
My mother would haveseriously questioned theNorwegian aquacultureindustry and the open netAtlantic salmon fish farms inthe Pacific Ocean. She wouldhave appreciated the CohenCommission Report andJustice Cohen’s statement inhis $26 million report “I haveconcluded that the potentialharm posed to Fraser Riversockeye salmon from salmonfarms is serious or irrevers-ible.” My mother believedin acting upon findings, shewould have made an excel-lent premier of the provinceof B.C. who has the power tostop renewing salmon feed-lots. She would revoke all theopen net Atlantic salmonfeedlot licenses immediately.

pursued and briefly caught Honey,before heading back towards thegirl. Fortunately, the pit bull wasthen collared by its owner, whoseentry into the enclosure providedthe brief moment necessary for herdog to escape.
Honey’s barks brought Anne Marieto the door, where she saw her dog’sback covered in blood.
Then, she spotted the neighbourwith her granddaughter.
“My dog has bit Jenna,” said thedog’s crying owner.
Anne Marie ran over to her grand-daughter. But she wasn’t prepared
for the extent of Jenna’s injuries.“As soon as she moved her hand, I
just screamed,” she said.Anne Marie rushed her grand-
daughter to Chilliwack GeneralHospital, where it took doctors threehours and many, many stitches tohopefully repair Jenna’s face.
Even so, Jenna faces more doctor’svisits and possibly plastic surgery ifthe initial repair job doesn’t hold.
When Mounties at CGH orderedthe pit bull destroyed, the dog’sowner agreed and complied withthe directive. The neighbour later
brought a gift for Jenna; Anne Marietold her she was grateful she wasthere to intervene.
Pit bulls have been the subject ofplenty of debate in recent years, withsome municipalities enacting banson the breed. Critics say pit bulls areinherently dangerous attack dogs.But defenders say the danger is onlythe result of how the dog’s are caredfor and brought up..
Even the Desrochers are split onthe issue. Anne Marie blames thebreed, calling pit bulls “vicious.”
Leslie, though, says the attack is
more of a reflection of the dog’s indi-vidual temperament.
She noted that even the dog’sowners acknowledged its dangerand kept it muzzled and harnessedwhen outside its enclosure.
“We always knew it was a reallyvicious dog,” Leslie said. “Jennaknew to stay away from the fence.”
Despite the trauma of the attack—and a couple bad dreams—Jenna hasyet to shed a tear over the incident.At the hospital, she told her sobbingmother,“Don’t cry, Mommy; it’s OK.”
Later, in the car, Jenna told her
family: “It’s a good thing I didn’t gethurt.”
While Jenna hardly escapedunscathed, Honey actually seems noworse for wear. Although her own-ers had feared the Chihuahua hadbeen injured, it appears the bloodon her coat came from Jenna, via thepit bull’s jaws. No puncture woundswere found on the small dog.
As her daughter and Honey playedlast weekend, Leslie said the twohave “always been buddies.”
Jenna, for one, said she wasn’tsurprised that help came from hertiny companion. “I thought that shewould help me and she did,” shetold theTimes.

The Chilliwack Chiefs facedelimination Monday nightat Prospera Centre afterdropping the opening two
contests to the Surrey Eagles lastweekend.
With the Eagles holding a 2-0advantage in the best-of-five series,Game 3 was slated for Monday eve-ning at Prospera Centre. (The resultwas not available at press time.)
On Friday, the Chiefs surrenderedfour first-period goals en route toa series-opening 4-0 loss to theEagles—who boasted the best regu-lar season record in the BCHL.
For the Chiefs, it was a disappoint-ing start to what should be a closely
foughtseries;Saturdaywas morein keep-ing withearly seriespredic-tions, as thetwo teamsswappedgoals andleadsthrough-out.
TheEagles
again leapt out to an early lead, withTrevor Cameron beating Mitch Gil-lam 8:14 into the first. But with twofan buses stocking two sections inthe South Surrey Arena with Chiefsfans, Chilliwack avoided a repeatof Friday’s disastrous opening,outshooting the Eagles 13-6 in theopening 20 minutes.
The second period saw Surreynetminder Michael Santaguida, whohadn’t surrendered a goal in fiveperiods of play, mishandle the puckand allow Ryan Donohoe to scoreshorthanded five minutes in.
Cameron restored the lead onthe power play midway throughthe frame. But Chilliwack wouldn’tgo away and Austin Plevy and Luke
Esposito linked up for a pretty tyinggoal just 1:35 later.
Donohoe’s second of the gamelate in the period gave the Chiefstheir first lead of the series.
But, as happened the previousnight, a bad 10 minutes put theChiefs behind the eight ball. Thistime, the collapse happened in the
third period.After Cameron had completed his
hat trick and tied the game, NicolasPierog put the Eagles ahead with7:30 remaining.
The backbreaker came off thestick of Michael Stenerson with alittle less than four minutes to play.With the Chiefs pressing, Stenerson
and Adam Tambellini broke in onGillam on a two-on-one. Stenersontook a pass from Tambellini, delayedand beat Gillam to extend Surrey’slead.
The goal was vital, as SpencerGraboski drew the Chiefs back towithin one with 1:51 to play.
In a game full of bad blood,
Nicolas Pierog’s five-minute high-sticking major with 40 seconds toplay gave the Chiefs a final stab atsending the entertaining game toovertime.
But with Gillam on the bench anda six-on-four advantage, Espositohit the crossbar on a shot that couldhave sent the game to overtime.

play his college hockey.Selkirk College, in the West Koo-
tenays, announced last week it hadsecured a commitment from Dyckto play for its men’s hockey teamnext year.
Dyck, who was a Chilliwack Chiefsstick boy growing up,returns to theWest Kootenays after spending the
2009/10 season with the Trail SmokeEaters. He played four seasons in theBritish Columbia Hockey League,scoring 19 goals and registering 65points in his final season for theLangley Rivermen.
The 21-year-old had spent the2012/13 season at Lindenwood Uni-
versity in St. Charles, Mo., where hehelped lead the Lions to an appear-ance in the American CollegiateHockey Association’s NationalChampionship Game. In 23 games,he finished third on the team ingoals and fifth in points with 10 and21 respectively and led all Lions
freshmen in both categories.“We’re thrilled to be adding an
impact offensive player like Darnellto a very strong group of returningforwards,” said Saints head coach JeffDubois in a press release. “We wereactive in trying to recruit Darnell outof the BCHL last summer and I was

Dyck plans to continue to studybusiness, which was his focus overthe past year at Lindenwood.
“I’ve heard nothing but goodthings about Selkirk College and theSaints hockey program,” said Dyck.“It isn’t a hard decision when youhave the opportunity to play for achampionship team.”

After defeating a nagging kneeinjury that kept him out of thering for nearly a year, Chilliwack
boxer Shane Wiebe won a unanimousdecision to claim victory over PhilRyan earlier this month at a pro-amboxing event at the River Rock CasinoResort.

body shots right after the openingbell which seemed to take some windout of the sails of his opponent. Ryancame out headhunting, but Wiebe—the shorter fighter—was able to getunderneath the shots and land body
blows, while finishing combos withhead shots.
Ryan came out storming in the sec-ond round very aggressively and a col-lision of heads opened up a cut aboveWiebe’s left eye.
But the Chilliwack fighter outjabbedhis opponent and weathered Ryan’sattack. Wiebe focused on body shots,and then came over the top with aheadshot that dropped Ryan to the
canvas.Eager to end the fight, Wiebe poured
on the pressure until Ryan was givena standing-eight count. Wiebe wentback at him but Ryan was saved by thebell to end the round.
After having his cut tended tobetween rounds, Wiebe came outquickly in the third and began to landat will, racking up enough points towin the decision.

The Lord’s Day is the property of Christ. He has markedone out of seven days exclusively as his own. On this daywe must rest from our work.One reason we set aside a day for rest is to refresh ourselvesfrom our daily labours. More importantly, however, weshould spend this day in public and private exercises ofGod’s worship to refresh ourseves spiritually.We may not rob the hours of the Lord’s Day for businessor pleasure. Keep HIS day holy as an institution of theLord, and in doing so we will receive blessings beyondour expectations.
“This is the day which the Lord has made;we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
