Dan Coulter is Chilliwack’s newest school trustee.

In a byelection that saw only 1,453 of the city’s almost 68,000 eligible voters cast ballots, Coulter won the six-candidate race Saturday with only 520 votes.

The mature UFV education stu-dent beat out retired School District No. 33 teacher Harold Schmidt by 181 votes.

Small business owner Ben Besler finished third with 279 votes.

Former District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) v i c e -p r e s i d e n t Karen Jarvis fin-ished fourth with 238 votes, while c u r r e n t D PA C v i c e -p r e s i d e n t Corey Neyrinck finished fifth, with 54.

Rob Stelmaschuk, a retired Minis-try of Children and Family Develop-ment employee, came in sixth with 23 votes.

Coulter, whose former career as a welder and millwright was cut short by a workplace accident, had cam-paigned on a three-point platform calling for more trades training, an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program and better engage-ment of aboriginal students.

Late in the campaign, he was endorsed by former school board chair Louise Piper, whose August resigna-tion triggered the $50,000 byelection.

Little person, big showmanBY CORNELIA [email protected]

It was “Midget Time” at the Vedder middle school gym Saturday night.For some 200 noisy fans, it was the

highlight of a live professional wres-tling extravaganza, when midget wrestling icon Short Sleeve Sampson (Dan DiLucchio) stepped into the ring with regular-sized douche Chris-topher Ryseck (The Ideal Reflection) and came out victorious after leaping onto Ryseck from the ropes in a spec-tacular frog-splash finish.

For Riley Windeler, Interior vice president of Little People of B.C., the very idea of the spectacle is offensive.

As a little person who’s had to endure staring, bullying, name call-ing and discrimination, he said bullies don’t need any more ammu-nition to make fun of people with dwarfism.

“Things like this midget wrestling are things these people build off of,” he told the Times in a telephone interview from Kamloops.

For DiLucchio, however, midget

wrestling has been a labour of love for the past 15 years and one he intends to parlay into a career in the enter-tainment industry after his retirement from the business this year.

His appearance at Vedder middle with Surrey-based All Star Wrestling was part of a yearlong, 40-city fare-well tour he kicked off last month.

The 40-year-old grappler, who lives in Syracuse, NY, describes his

15 years in pro wrestling as a roller coaster ride.

At the bottom has been time away from his family and a couple serious injuries on the road, like one time when he dove through the ropes and the opponent, who was supposed to break his fall before he hit the floor, stepped out of the way.

Upfront 2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

Kinder Morgan says the Chilliwack economy will see a concrete and direct benefit from its oil pipeline

twinning project when shovel hits the ground in 2016.

Trans Mountain expansion project man-ager Greg Toth told the Chilliwack Cham-ber of Commerce Thursday that during construction, he expects the 200-or-so workers in the area to spend nearly $12 million, mostly on meals and accommo-dation.

Where exactly that workforce will be headquartered is unclear and its likely the cities of Abbotsford and Chilliwack will compete with one another to see which city is home to construction offices and the pipeline lay down yards for the Fraser Val-ley spread of the project.

“We are working hard to maximize local opportunities,” Toth said. “That is the vision of our president Ian Anderson.”

He said local companies wanting to cap-italize should starting thinking of how to do that.

“It is basically a partnership: we will pro-vide the opportunity but they have to posi-tion themselves.”

During local construction of the $5.4 bil-

lion, 1,150-kilometre oil pipeline twinning project, Toth said Chilliwack businesses will find opportunities that run the gamut from heavy equipment operators to cater-ing trucks.

Toth couldn’t say exactly how many local jobs would be available directly on the pipeline construction project but there will certainly be opportunities for equip-ment operators, labourers and welders.

He said 25 per cent of the 450-or-so peo-ple on one construction spread will be equipment operators, 25 per cent labour-ers, 10 per cent welders and 10 per cent welder helpers.

Kinder Morgan is scheduled to file its facilities application for the Trans Moun-tain pipeline expansion project to the National Energy Board on Dec. 17.

The City of Chilliwack will see nearly $1 million more per year in property taxes when the new pipeline is built. In 2013, the company paid $664,000 in property taxes to city hall.

Kinder Morgan representatives have been on a tour of communities touting the economic benefits of the pipeline expan-sion project. When completed, the project will add $500,000 a year to municipal tax

coffers, $1.7 billion in provincial taxes and $2 billion in federal taxes.

Toth and the company are also repeat-ing Canadian Chamber of Commerce claims that Canada is missing out on $50 million a day in lost revenue due to the lack of access to tidewater to get oil and gas overseas.

“There is not enough takeaway capac-ity,” Toth said, adding that Kinder Mor-gan is not, contrary to some speculation, in competition with Enbridge and its proposal to build the Northern Gateway pipeline.

“We are not competing with anybody,” he said. “There’s enough oil to drive all of these projects.”

The company has provided pages on its website, www.transmountain.com, for local companies and job seekers looking to find out more about what opportunities are available.

There has been local opposition to plans to triple the capacity of the 60-year-old pipeline that runs underneath farmers’ fields, Sardis backyards and the Vedder River. The oil pipeline also runs under fields near two schools: Watson elementa-ry and Vedder middle.

Pipeline means millions


Chilliwack RCMP is look-ing for a man who askselderly women for help

and then steals their purses and wallets.

There have been four sim-ilar incidents in the last two weeks, two on Nov. 16 and two on Nov. 24.

“You feel violated,” one victim, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Times.

Police believe the thief, described as a Caucasian man in his 20s or early 30s with short dark or red hair who may wear glasses, followed his victims home from their shop-ping trips.

The man—sometimes in the company of a woman—parked a vehicle near the vic-tims’ residences.

With the hood of the car up, the thief then pretended to have radiator troubles and asked his victims, as they were entering their homes with their purchases, for a jug of warm water.

In one instance, the man even helped a victim carry parcels into her house.

As the women were busy getting the water, police say the man stole their purses or wallets and quickly left the scene.

“In targeting trusted elder-ly ladies, this is despicable behaviour, even for a thief,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said in a press release. “We would

City coffers will benefit from project

Full-stop crosswalks warrantedCity council was sched-

uled to again consider upgrades to two dangerous crosswalks on Vedder Road at its Tuesday afternoon meet-ing.

A number of accidents and frequent complaints from residents about crosswalks at Storey Avenue and Wells Road led city staff to recommend in October they be upgraded.

An elderly woman was lucky to escape with minor injuries after being struck at Storey Avenue in the summer.

And the owner of a martial arts studio near the Wells Road crosswalk said he has seen and been involved in numerous near misses at the location.

But some city councillors expressed concern that two more full stops on Vedder Road—a busy traffic corri-dor—might be a bad idea.

Couns. Jason Lum and Ken Huttema said they wanted to see a traffic study completed.

This was done, and a con-sultant’s report in Tuesday’s city council agenda recom-mended full-stop, three-co-lour pedestrian signals be implemented at both intersec-tions, with the Wells Road one moved to Alder Avenue.

Members and volunteers with the Filipino Association of Chilliwack pose with boxed goods to be shipped to survivors of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Community steps up to typhoon challenge

BY SHARRON HOChilliwack Times

Aid and monetary proceeds from the Chilliwack area are heading abroad, after two local fundraising initiatives

for victims of Typhoon Haiyan, a super storm that struck the Philippines earlier this month, ended with great success.

The Filipino Association of Chilliwack (FILAC) was thrilled when their relief drive, held at Mount Slesse middle school on Saturday evenings during the month of Novem-ber, collected 30 cargo boxes worth of clothing and food in just a couple of weeks.

“It was over whelming. People [came] here, they bring donation, and then e v e r y d a y i n m y h o u s e , everyday you opened the door, you got lots and lots of donations,” Maria Kish, FILAC president, told the Times.

She said 30 cargo boxes was more than the associa-tion could’ve ever imagined, but people continued to give, bringing in more cloth-ing for adults and children, an abundance of blankets and non-perishable food items.

By the end of their relief effort on Nov. 28, FILAC had doubled their harvest, amassing a bounty of 60 cargo boxes in total. The boxes were separated into two shipments and delivered to the Philippines via cargo ship.

The outstanding show of support and gen-erosity left Kish and others in awe.

“We’re so overwhelmed. We’re so happy,” she said, adding the second and final ship-

ment left for the Philippines on Nov. 29. “We didn’t expect this, we thought the first

boxes we sent the first time is fine, but after we sent that, everyday, there’s somebody coming, donating and donating.”

Kish said FILAC is working with two other organizations to ensure the proceeds are giv-en to survivors directly.

“We’re really [thankful] to everyone,” Kish said. “We didn’t expect this . . . and ‘salamat’ to everyone, it means thank you [in Tagalog].”

Typhoon Haiyan ripped through the Philip-pines on Nov. 8, obliterating homes and struc-tures, leaving hundreds missing, thousands injured, and even more displaced. So far, the death toll has reached 5,560.

Chiefs to the rescueThrough in-person donations accepted at

home games and a four-hour telethon, the Chilliwack Chiefs managed to raise $3,451 for victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

Under the banner, “Chiefs to the Rescue,” 11 players took turns answering calls and taking

pledges on the club’s radio station, 89.5 The Drive, on Nov. 21. The telethon raised the majority of the funds, bringing in $2,000 in total.

“It was such a big story, and the evidence that we [saw] on television just demanded action,” said Chiefs’ president Glen Ringdal. “You couldn’t look at it and say, ‘I can’t do anything.’”

The banner marks the next phase of community involvement for the Chiefs, who will continue to operate under the slogan “Chiefs to the Rescue,” for all initiatives that relate to disaster relief, whether they be internation-al or local.

“Part of our job is to help these young players turn into strong and productive

young men, and participating in helping oth-ers is an important part of that growth and development,” Ringdal said. “So we saw it as a good opportunity for them and they certainly accepted it that way. They were excellent.”

All proceeds were given to the Humanitar-ian Coalition, a joint effort of CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Plan Canada and Save the Children Canada.

Relief drive and Chief’s telethon raise thousands of dollars, clothing and food for Filipinos

help these young play-ers turn into strongand productive men,and participating in helping others is an important part of that growth and develop-ment. So we saw it as agood opportunity for them and they certainly accepted it that way”

A man who allegedly tried to rob a Salvation Army Christmas Kettle by threatening a volunteer with a

needle and saying he had HIV faces two counts of robbery.

Keith Silver, of no fixed address, was arrested Thursday afternoon after he allegedly threatened the Sally Ann volun-teer and then robbed the Winners store in the Chilliwack Mall minutes later.

Chilliwack RCMP and Lower Mainland District Integrated Police Dog Services responded to the first robbery in front of the Safeway on Luckakuck Way at about 1:40 p.m.

They got the second call about the rob-

bery at the nearby Winners minutes later.The Christmas Kettle hold-up was

unsuccessful as the kettle was locked and the apparatus holding it was too large to remove.

But police say Silver did walk away with $300 after he went into Winners and handed a teller a note saying he had a gun.

Mounties recovered the money when they located the 45-year-old a short dis-

tance away on Knight Road.He wasn’t carrying a gun but did have

a needle.“Threatening volunteers and attempt-

ing to take donations that are meant for those in the community with need is despicable,” Chilliwack RCMP Const. Cynthia Kershaw said in a press release Friday.

Silver will be held in custody until his next court appearance Dec. 2.

Cst. Matt Wright of the Chilliwack RCMP talks about safety with pedestrians Thursday at the Vedder and Promontory intersection.

Increase in pedestrians struck has cops launching safety camapaignBY PAUL J. [email protected]

Last month was a dangerous one for Chilliwack pedestrians as six people

were hit by vehicles in the city.That’s nearly as many pedestrian-vehi-

cle crashes that are recorded in a normal year, according to Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) numbers.

Between 2008 and 2012 there were 41 incidents of a pedestrian being injured by a vehicle in Chilliwack.

As a result of the six pedestrians hit in November, Chilliwack RCMP launched a safety campaign.

“Fortunately none were serious or fatal,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len van-Nieuwenhuizen said in a press release. “Prior to Nov. 4, such collisions were very rare.”

VanNieuwenhuizen said the jump in collisions may be seasonal, caused in part by the recent time change, which has meant more night-time driving.

The start of the Christmas shopping

season may also have contributed, as shopping crowds increase pedestrian, scooter and motor vehicle traffic in park-ing lots and on roads.

To prevent further collisions, the Chil-liwack Municipal Traffic Section have teamed up with the Chilliwack Safer City co-ordinator and ICBC.

The traffic section will step up pedestri-an and crosswalk enforcement on some of the busier pedestrian/motor vehicle corridors throughout the Christmas sea-son.

Chilliwack RCMP are looking for information about two fires they say were deliberately set early Fri-

day morning.

The Chilliwack Fire Department was dispatched to a reported vehicle fire in the 5500 block of Chinook Street at about 3:20 a.m.

Fire crews extinguished a blaze that damaged a piece of construction equipment.

Firefighters then noticed an orange glow through the win-dow of a duplex under construc-tion very close to the burning vehicle.

On further investigation they found a

fire on the second floor that they quick-ly extinguished. The blaze damaged the

floor sheeting and caused smoke damage to the attic area.

Both fires are now under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP fire investigators.◗ Anyone with information about these fires is asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611, Crimes-toppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Coulter, vice-president of the Chilliwack-Hope BC NDP constituency association, and Besler, vice-president of the BC Liberal Chilliwack riding association, had said early on that parti-san politics had no place on the school board, but the two consistently clashed throughout the campaign along ideological lines on issues like corporate sponsorship in schools, the school board’s drug and alcohol policy and the idea of the school board passing a deficit budget to protest underfunding.

A handful of partisan supporters also kept up heated campaigns on social media.

Runner-up Schmidt, meanwhile, was a non-entity online and missed both all-can-

didates meetings, the first because of a date change and the second because of a family trip that had been planned before the election was announced in September.

A new report by the Parlia-mentary Budget Officer has put our Funeral and Burial program for veter-

ans in the media spotlight again. Unfortunately, the recent coverage has often only repeated a number of persistent myths about what is a very important program. I would like to take this opportunity to set the facts straight.

The first myth about our Funeral and Burial program is that it is only available to “traditional Vet-erans”—the men and women who served during the Second World War and the Korean War. This simply is not true. Through our program, we help lay to rest all vet-erans who die of a service-related disability. We call this a “matter of right,” and it applies to these veter-ans whether they served in France or Korea or if they served in Bosnia or Afghanistan. We are here for all of them.

The second myth is that the pro-gram only helps to defray funeral expenses. This is a particularly odd mistake because, as the program’s name indicates, we also cover the actual costs of a burial—including such things as the opening and closing of a cemetery plot, a grave liner, a military-style grave mark-er and the perpetual care of the gravesite.

A third myth suggests that Canada is not doing as much as other countries to care for our fallen veterans. Just the opposite is true. In fact, Canadians would be surprised to learn that Canada is one of the few countries to offer financial assistance for veterans’ funerals and burials, and our rates are among the most generous in the world.

With the new enhancements that took effect in June, we’ve also just made the program even better. This includes more than doubling the maximum support available for funeral expenses—from $3,600 to $7,376—and making the program more flexible to respect Veterans’ religious and cultural differences. These improvements have allowed us to provide, on average, an extra $2,000 in assistance over the first five months, and we now have instances where our total contri-bution is approaching as much as $10,000.

Having said all this, there are

other veterans whose funeral and burial costs will not qualify for cov-erage under our program. Often this simply reflects the original intent of the program—which was launched almost a century ago—to help ensure a dignified funeral and burial for veterans who were in financial need.

This has led to one last myth I would like to address. Some crit-ics claim that veterans have to be financially destitute when they pass away in order for their fami-lies to qualify for assistance. Again, that’s not true. In fact, the simple means test we use for these veter-ans includes significant exemp-tions to avoid leaving survivors strapped for cash after they bury a loved one. For example, our regu-lations allow a survivor to exempt the family home, primary car and the first $12,015 in savings when calculating their net assets.

We are proud to be able to pro-vide this kind of support in recog-nition of the service of Canada’s veterans and the sacrifices they made on behalf of our country.

Can’t make everyone happyNo changes to how B.C. Ferries delivers

its services will ever meet with total approval.

Critics of the proposal to charge seniors half-price passenger rates during the week instead of giving them free passage see the decision as gouging a vulnerable segment of society. But half price is still a generous discount.

The perk of free mid-week passage for seniors may have made moral sense, if not business sense, when the corporation was in a better financial position, but not now.

B.C. Ferries’ proposal to cut little-used early morning and late-night runs on smaller routes makes sense, as does maintaining ser-vice at busier commuter times.

Some argue that any cut to service is a blow to the original B.C. Ferries concept of extending the coastal highway system to the growing number of people living on smaller islands. But those residents, many of whom commute to work on Vancouver Island or the mainland, have chosen that lifestyle and it comes with costs.

Forcing the majority to pay through ever-higher fares to service the minority doesn’t make sense.

The idea of putting slot machines on fer-ries working the Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen run is an insult to passengers maxed out with the number of extra-cost services available on the ships. While revenue from these runs has subsidized the smaller runs for years, enough is enough. It’s time to stop looking for more ways to gouge the already cash-strapped ridership.

With the balance sheets bleeding red, B.C. Ferries must make some hard choices. Complicating that scenario is the fact the corporation is quasi-private and serves two masters, the public and government, which is the public in business suits.

As such, the need to find workable com-promises is heightened. In the end, the main objective is stabilization of fares for all ferry riders.

If that takes cutting some low-usage sail-ings and asking seniors to pay a little more, we’re all for it.

Editor:Is it me, or are others notic-

ing the increasing numbers of teenagers who are involved in all manner of benevolent activities?

Working alongside, and being near, these young peo-ple is a joy—especially to we baby boomers who actually thought we would be young forever.

These teenagers provide a valuable infusion of assistance to systems taxed from dimin-ishing resources. Their ideas, sense of fun, and willingness to do physical tasks are a few of their attributes. They also exhibit very important traits such as patience and toler-ance in abundance.

This is a positive trend that is welcome to continue and to grow.

Feels betrayed by his countryEditor:

Re: “Letter nothing but fic-tion,” Times, Nov. 14.

In a 2009 letter to the editor, MP Mark Strahl stated the fol-lowing, “But I guess it’s easier to attack someone when you don’t know them and don’t care about the facts.” So true.

Here are some of my facts. I was badly injured on multiple occasions during my service to Canada. Some of those

injuries were severe. Subse-quently, I lost everything that I owned, and all the relation-ships that I valued in life as a direct result of these injuries and the mistreatment that I was subjected to.

I ended up collecting bottles and cans for money, living off of 55 cent day-old bread and water, while being forced to fight an expensive and protracted seven year battle with the Department of National Defence (DND), simply to be compensated for my back wages, prescriptions, medical treatments, etc. All of which were incurred during my recovery from injuries sustained in the line of duty. All being the legal respon-sibility of DND to cover in a timely manner.

To say that I was betrayed and abandoned by an ungrateful nation is an understatement. The DND’s own investigations con-

cluded that my two former commanding officers and some of their commissioned staff had rendered me mul-tiple “injustices.” Forcing the writing of a letter of apology from the then commanding officer (C.O.). A letter I may add that has since gone miss-ing, presumed shredded. Little solace for an emaciated veteran. All the while senior leadership, at all levels, and their bureaucratic brethren lived the high life, collecting huge salaries and outrageous pensions.

To this day, I’m still forced to live with chronic pain—constant reminder of my service.

Perhaps Mr. Gary Strahl is upset because one of my former C.O.s, who was, for the most part, the one who orches-trated the betrayal, is now one of his brother’s new BFFs at the regiment. But I digress.

While I will always defend

Mr. Strahl’s right to voice his opinion, his insinuation that my Nov. 5 letter to the editor was a work of fiction is offen-sive. As for writing fiction, propaganda is best left to the minions of government who waste taxpayers’ money on its creation and propagation, rather than using that money to care for the sick, injured and fallen veterans who have sacrificed for our great nation.

I pray that in future Mr. Strahl, as the apparent acting spokesperson for the Strahl franchise, will think before he writes.

Need to supply Canadians first Editor:

Re: “Non-supporters of pro-test” at the MLA office.

Apparently some people (like the person @erinlealight) were not informed regarding this protest. Most people are aware we all need to cut back our dependency on fossil fuels.

Many at this protest were there as they object to the selling off of our raw products and possibly damaging our environment in the process.

China will be getting far

more jobs than Canadians as a result of this “sale.”

Even Enbridge has stated there will only be 500 perma-nent jobs.

Many people are also unaware that the Atlantic provinces, Quebec and parts of Ontario have to import some of their oil require-ments. We need to supply Canadians first.

It would be wise to research the purpose of these protests before resorting to name calling.

Tough weekend for Chiefs

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

No one can say the Chilli-wack Chiefs are involved in boring hockey games of late even if they are on the

losing end.The local boys lost three games in

under 48 hours over the weekend by a cumulative score of 21-10.

The games were never going to be easy as the Chiefs faced the league-leading Powell River Kings Friday followed by the Interior Divi-sion-leading Penticton Vees Saturday then the Mainland Division-leading Langley Rivermen Sunday afternoon.

They lost 8-5 at Prospera to the Kings, 9-4 in Penticton to the Vees and 4-2 in Langley to the Rivermen.

Between offence, defence and goal-tending, the Chiefs continue to strug-gle in the latter two areas of the game.

On Friday, with the 19-4-1-1 Kings in town the Chiefs got their league-leading shots against under control—Powell River notched 33—but goaltending let them down.

The game started well with Jake Hand, Mathieu Tibbet and Carter Cochrane lighting the red lamp in the first, leaving the Chiefs with a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes.

Recent arrival Spencer Tremblay, however, let in four goals on 16 shots until he was pulled halfway through the second period after Powell River went ahead 4-3.

The move gave an immediate if brief spark to the team as Austin Plevy tied it up 4-4 from Zach Diamantoni and Blake Gober.

Backup Josh Halpenny held off the Kings for the rest of the second but he would prove to be just as leaky, allow-ing four goals in the third on 12 shots.

Undisciplined play from Plevy and Ben Butcher in the third led to two of Powell River’s third-period goals.

Saturday night would be a sim-ilar story line as the Chiefs were dominated 9-4 at South Okanagan Events Centre against the Interior Division-leading Penticton Vees. Nine Vees players had multiple-point

games in the team’s dismantling of the Chiefs.

Scoring started early and came often as Cody DePourcq opened things for Penticton at 1:38 of the first en route to a 3-0 lead 14 minutes in.

Cooper Rush scored a late pow-er-play goal and then put in his sec-ond of the game 34 seconds into the second period. Blake Gober then tied the game at 3:44 of the second, but the Vees went ahead for good at 14:11.

The home team then scored five more goals in the second half of the game, including four on eight shots in the third against Tremblay who, unlike Friday night, was left hung out to dry

by the coach.The Chiefs then hopped on the bus

back to Chilliwack and readied for an afternoon game Sunday in Langley, which they lost 4-2.

This was a rough affair with 30 pen-alties called against 20 different play-ers on both teams, and three of the six goals scored were on special teams.

Plevy opened scoring at 7:34 of the first from Gober and Diamantoni. Then 28 seconds into the second peri-od Langley tied the game.

Matt Ustaski then scored short-handed and unassisted for Langley to take a 2-1 lead in the second.

Viktor Dombrovsky made it 3-1 for Langley at 6:07 of the third while Carter Cochrane was serving two minutes for high sticking. New arrival Cody Bardock gave Langley another two minutes on the power play with a cross-check on the goal.

Will Cook made it 4-1 for Langley on an unassisted goal at 12:51 and, in a desperation effort, Kiefer McNaugh-ton scored for the Chiefs from Bardock and Mitchell Plevy at 19:24 to make it 4-2.

The Chiefs were outshot 112 to 88 on the weekend. Most of that shot dif-ferential came in the latter two games as they actually outshot Powell River 38 to 33.

Lost in the 48 hours of weekend losses was the effort of newly acquired defenceman Cody Bardock who played his first two games with the team Saturday and Sunday, earning an assist and two penalty minutes in each game.

The 7-19-1-2 Chiefs are off for a three game road trip, facing Powell River Dec. 6, Nanaimo Dec. 7 and Alberni Valley Dec. 8. The team’s next home game is Dec. 13 against Penticton.

Ken Goudswaard/TIMES

Chilliwack Chiefs forward Mathieu Tibbet gets spun around during action at Prospera Centre on Friday night.


The Chilliwack Chiefs have acquired 20-year-old defenceman Cody Bardock from the Trail Smoke Eaters in exchange for 18-year-old forward Brandon Volpe and future considerations.

Bardock has four goals and one assist in 11 games with the Smoke

Eaters this season. The native of Lethbridge also has Junior A experi-ence with the Prince George Spruce Kings and Brooks and Sherwood Park of the AJHL.

“I’m excited about playing in Chil-liwack and playing for the coaches there,” Bardock said. “It’s a great

organization with an incredible group of fans.”

Bardock was expected to arrive in Chilliwack on Friday.

The Chiefs thanked Volpe for his commitment both on and off the ice and wished him all the best in his future endeavours.

A cross-town rivalry is b re w i n g o n C h i l l i -wack’s single-A senior

boys basketball scene.After a three-year hiatus,

Highroad Academy is fielding a team and plans to give Uni-ty Christian, Chilliwack’s only other single-A team, a little local competition.

“The team is just pumped and I’m very pumped as well just to be able to get a chance to compete again at the senior level,” Highroad coach Clay-ton Krahn told the Times.

The school hasn’t had a team since 2010, but before that the Knights made regular appearances in the provincial final, winning the champion-ship in 2002

“Obviously we had a really strong program for a while, and then we had a lack of interest in basketball,” Krahn said.

He’s had to build the pro-gram back up from scratch now that students have gotten excited about the sport again.

With only two Grade 12 players, who’ve never com-peted in the sport before, the Knights will count on Grade 10 Caleb Blundell and Grade 9 Daniel Abel for leadership.

“Those two are the core of the players pushing for a senior team,” Krahn said. “They never miss a practice.”

The Highroad coach said he has “no idea” what to expect this season, but one thing’s for sure after the team’s sea-son-opening 56-52 victory over the Hope Mustangs last week.

“We compete hard. We just compete hard, offensively and

defensively,” Krahn said.Unity Christian, meanwhile,

is seeing changes of its own in the form of a new coach, Matt Van Muyen, and a new offen-sive style.

The Flames earned their first Fraser Valley Champi-onship title in dramatic fash-ion last season, hitting two three-pointers in the last five seconds of the final to snatch the game from B.C. Christian

Academy.The team had to settle for

seventh-place at the provin-cials, however, after a disap-pointing second-round loss to Immaculata put them out of championship game.

Once among the tallest sin-gle-A teams in the province, Unity has lost some height, and Van Muyen has moved to a faster-paced motion offence to play to the team’s strengths.

“It’s a totally new system than they’re used to,” Van Muyen said.

The growing pains were evi-dent in a 51-49 preseason loss against St. John Brebeuf last week, but Van Muyen is confi-dent the team is headed in the right direction.

“We have lots of potential,” he said. “We had some real-ly signs in the game. We’re beginning to understand the game of basketball a bit more and the way we’re trying to play the game.”

He’d like to see his team defend its Fraser Valley title. After that, the goal is less clear-cut.

“Our big focus is that wher-ever we finish this year that we can be satisfied that we’ve done everything we can this year to get as far as we could,” Van Muyen said.

Unity plays their first league game at home tonight (Tues-day) against Agassiz.

◗ Chilliwack’s two single-A teams clash for the first time Monday, Dec. 9 at Highroad Academy. The game tips off at 7 p.m.

Senior boys basketball back on school’s radar


Daniel Abel and Caleb Blundell are ready to lead Highroad Acad-emy’s resurrected senior boys squad this season.


Unity Christian seniors Clay Driesen, Branson Koning and Jon Vugteveen are ready for a brand new season.

BY SHARRON HOChilliwack Times

In honour of the season of giving, a Chilliwack gym is hosting a charitable five-kilometre winter run on Dec. 14.

Runners and walkers of all ages are being invited to register for Chilliwack Anytime Fit-ness’ inaugural Winter Warriors Run for the Community, which is being held in support of Ruth and Naomi’s Mission and The Meadow Rose Society.

Rav Shokar, co-owner of Chilliwack Anytime Fitness, said inspiration for the event came from a desire to help others, after seeing marginalized individuals struggle within society, like a young mother unable to afford diapers and judgment being passed on people who are homeless.

“I don’t ever judge anybody because you don’t know how these people ended up there,” Shokar said. “Once you get to know people, you can kind of understand why they can’t break the circle and sometimes they get stuck in that life, in that circle they’re never able to break out of.”

Registration is $20, which includes race par-ticipation and a T-shirt, and all proceeds from the event will be donated to Ruth and Naomi’s Mission and The Meadow Rose Society. Both non-profits will be on site the day of the race col-lecting donations.

The start and finish line of the race will be Chilliwack Anytime Fitness, located at 19-5725 Vedder Rd.

Participants will head south on Vedder Road from Thomas Road, from where they’ll turn right onto Keith Wilson, left onto Peach Road, and left onto the Rotary Trail to get back onto Vedder.

Food and beverages will be available to par-ticipants at the end of the race.

Shokar said the route is entirely flat with no obstacles. The only challenge will be the cold temperatures and possibly rain.

“We’re hoping to see everybody, the whole community come out to support this,” he said, adding the race currently has about 40 people registered.

Although there are fears not enough mon-ey will be raised to meet the $5,000 fundraising goal, Shokar said there are plans to grow the event into an annual affair that will continue to support local charities in years to come.

“We want to make it an annual thing and every year we will try to include different chari-ties,” he said. “We’re trying to build put this thing annually to raise awareness in our community.”

The G.W. Graham Grizzlies junior boys football team are B.C. champions.

The JV Grizzlies beat Parksville’s Ballenas Whalers 23-20 in the cham-pionship final at BC Place Stadium Saturday and made their mark as the first high school football team in Chilliwack history to bring home a provincial title

“I could not be prouder of this group,” head coach Laurie Smith said. “They played their hearts out today for each other and for a well deserved place in history.”

Graham had advanced to the final after playoff wins over Richmond’s Hugh Boyd secondary, Prince George secondary and North Van-

couver’s Argyle secondary.In a hard-fought championship

game, Graham opened scoring with a field goal by kicker Spencer Bres-lin. After recovering his onside kick, the Grizzlies followed up with a short run into the end zone by run-ning back Billy Hanson to make the score 10-0.

The Whalers came back with a quick touchdown to make it 10-7, but Grizzlies quarterback Jordon Breuker answered with a 23-yard touchdown before the half to put Graham up 16-7.

The Whalers closed the gap to 16-14 in the second half before Griz-zlies receiver Emerson Smith scored on a 42-yard run to make it 23-14.

Ballenas responded one more time to make it 23-20 before Graham was able to run out the clock.

On offence, the Grizzlies were led by game MVP Breuker and offensive MVP Smith.

Breuker completed 7 of 12 pass-es for 134 yards and added 89 yards on the ground, while Smith put up 127 all-purpose yards rushing and receiving.

Running backs Tristan Davis and Hanson also had exceptional games in the backfield. The Grizzlies offen-sive line of Jake Troyan, Braydon Winger, Vincent Giesbrecht, Jaren Lengert, Elijah Schellenberg and Michael Lengert had an outstand-ing game, opening up great running

lanes for the backs, while receivers Tyler Sprott, Baker Douglas and Noah Dubosoff blocked well for the outside runs.

On defence the Grizzlies were led by linebackers Cainen Bergh, Cyrus Tommy and Randy Nixon, with sev-eral tackles each. Liam McCormick, Dakota Mathers and Jaimey Bes-sette had outstanding games on the defensive line.

“Our place in history was estab-lished today,” Smith said to the team after the win.

After only its second year, the Grizzlies football program has now earned G.W. Graham’s first-ever Pro-vincial Championship banner in any sport.

Flying face first into the ring barrier, DiLucchio broke his nose, cracked his orbital bone and had to get stitches above his eye before stepping back into the ring for an evening match the same day.

At the top of the roller coaster has been his work with some of the biggest shows in the indus-try: WWF, WWE, TNA and most recently Hulk Hogan’s Micro Championship Wrestling.

“I wanted to be able to leave on my terms as well as leave while everything’s good and leave on a high,” he said of his farewell tour.

DiLucchio knows not every-one takes his enthusiastic view of his sport.

Short stature advocac y groups are especially opposed to shows continuing to use the term “midget,” which they say is as offensive as a racial slur.

“I grew up seeing the term negative,” Windeler said. “To me, it relates to bullying.”

But in professional wrestling, no other word has the same cachet, according to DiLuccio, and the name “midget wres-tling” dates back to the heyday of the sport in the 1950s and 1960s.

“It’s always been called ‘midget wrestling.’” he said. “If you call it anything else, peo-ple are not going to know what you’re talking about.”

As for the sport being degrad-ing, DiLuccio takes the view that that’s up to the individual wrestler.

Like most people with dwarf-ism, he took his share of bul-lying and rejection during his elementary school years.

By the time he hit high school, though, he said he had decided not to let it bother him.

In the ring, he positively embraces his difference.

“I use this to make myself stand out, to be able to allow opportunities to happen, not to use it as a crutch,” he said.

Unlike many of his compatri-ots, he took time early on to get trained properly so his matches wouldn’t devolve into sideshow comedy.

He has also trained mostly with average-stature wrestlers,

which has allowed him to leave his own unique stamp on the sport.

“It gave me a lot more ver-satility to be able to work any-body,” he said. “I’m probably one of the only midget wres-tlers that is willing to work big guys.”

DiLuccio’s skills as a veteran showman were not lost on the crowd at Vedder middle Satur-day, as fans cheered him on in the ring and lined up for auto-graphs after the show.

Gamely, the four-foot-two, 120-pound wrestler flexed bare chested with teenage boys and hoisted youngsters onto his

shoulders as friends and par-ents snapped photos.

Even while he embraces people’s perceptions of him as a curiosity within the great-er spectacle of professional wrestling, however, it’s clear he does it on his own terms.

One middle-aged man who asked him to stand on a chair so the man could pretend to be lifting him for a photo, was politely denied, and the two flexed for the camera side by side instead.

“At the end of the night, I have to be happy with myself,” he said. “I have to be satisfied with what I do.”

certainly like to arrest the thief and his accomplice and put a stop to this victimiza-tion.”

When that happens, the victim who spoke to the Times said she wouldn’t mind having a few words with the thief as well.

“I’d like to say to him, ‘You must have a grandmother you wouldn’t have wanted to put through this,’” she said.

Even though the victim is an indepen-dent senior who is very active in the com-munity, she said being duped by the culprit made her feel like “a stupid old woman.”

But police have told her she is not alone, she said.

“It made me feel like one of the crowd,” she said. “I was not the first and I won’t be the last.”

Normally a helpful person, the woman said the experience has made her more wary and distrustful.

“Our society is just not as safe as it used to be,” she said. “We’d better be very careful. We should look over our shoulder all the time. It’s not a good feeling, but we need to do that.”

Mounties, meanwhile, have deployed crime prevention volunteers to raise aware-ness about the thief at shopping centres and grocery stores, and are now looking for

help finding the man.“This is a situation where an engaged

community can prevent further occurrenc-es,” vanNieuwenhuizen said.

Three of the incidents took place on the north side of Chilliwack and the fourth occurred on the south side.

Police say the thief may have access to different vehicles since two of the incidents involved a red car, while a black and a blue car were used in the other two incidents.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
