Chilliwack secondary school’s J.Y. HalcrowGymnasium is no more.

The old gym, once affectionately knownas the old airplane hangar, was demolishedMonday to be replaced by a suite of state-of-the-art athletic facilities at the new highschool, scheduled to open this September.

In a matter of hours, one big excavatorhad reduced a good bit of history to a pile ofbricks, wood and twisted metal.

The gym was opened in 1952, two yearsafter construction on the rest of the schoolwas complete.

Lore has it the gym’s shell was a repurposedSecond World War airplane hangar used torepair British and Canadian fighter planes inVancouver during the war.

Mounties not getting their manBY TYLER [email protected]

Local Mounties aren’t alwaysgetting their man—especiallyif that person is stealing a car

or lighting a fire.The Chilliwack RCMP have some

of the lowest clearance rates inBritish Columbia, according tonumbers released Thursday by Sta-tistics Canada.

Chilliwack’s weighted clearancerate was 18.69 in 2012, down 17 percent from the previous year. Thatranked Chilliwack 159th out of 168

policing jurisdictions in BritishColumbia.

While Chilliwack’s clearancerate is below average, it’s not ananomaly—almost every otherRCMP-policed Lower Mainlandcommunity, including Surrey,Burnaby, Coquitlam, Maple Ridgeand Langley had scores within acouple percentage points.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len

vanNieuwenhuizen said localMounties will take a hard look atthe numbers to figure out whythey’re clearing fewer crimes.

“We look at clearance rates veryseriously and we always want tobetter that clearance rate,” van-Nieuwenhuizen told the Times.“We’re going to have to sit downand analyze that,” he said of theincrease. “It’s never usually just

one issue or reason. It’s usually aculmination of reasons.”

The Upper Fraser Valley Region-al Detachment is responsible forpolicing duties between Chilliwackand the Fraser Canyon. Clearancerates within that region varied.

Rural Chilliwack, which is cat-egorized separately from the cityproper, saw a drop in the policeclearance rate that left it ranked139th. But the District of Kent,which is also policed by the UpperFraser Valley Regional Detach-ment, boasted an above-averageclearance rate and was ranked 40th

in the province.Violent crimes are solved at a

faster rate than non-violent inci-dents—it is often difficult to finda witness to property crime. ButChilliwack’s clearance rate declinedfor both violent and non-violentcrime.

Certain property crimes havebeen especially difficult to solve.

The number of arsons in the Cityof Chilliwack climbed 74 per centin 2012, with 86 reported over thecourse of the year. But not a single

Agroup of local nursestrained to exam andtreat victims of rape in

the Fraser Health Region istravelling to Haiti as part ofan effort to raise awarenessabout sexual assault in devel-oping countries.

Like many places wrackedby natural or man-madedisasters, Haiti saw a jump insexual assaults after the Janu-ary 2010 earthquake there.

Besides rendering womenand children less secure inpractical ways, like destroy-ing their homes and forcingthem to live in tents, disas-ters like Haiti’s also sparkspikes in rape and personalviolence because of a senseof powerlessness amongmen, according to DebbieDavidson, one of the nursestraveling to Haiti.

“Sexual assault is a crime ofpower not passion,” she toldthe Times.

Davidson, whose day jobis managing Chilliwack’sWaverly Seniors Village, is aregistered psychiatric nursewho also has more than 35years of experience work-ing with sexual assault andfamily-violence survivors,starting at Chilliwack Com-munity Services in the mid tolate 1980s.

Since 2000, she has workedas an on-call Sexual AssaultNurse Examiner (SANE) forthe Fraser Health Authority,collaborating with doctors,police and social services toprovide examinations, treat-ment, forensic evidence andmedical-legal reports for sex-ual assault victims.

“It’s a very rewarding job,”Davidson said. “It’s hard tosay you enjoy something like

that because you’re dealingwith people in crisis, but Ithink all of us who work withthe program feel that we’vegot something to give. We dofor them, really, what nobodyelse could do for them at thatmoment.”

The idea of raising aware-ness about sexual assault indeveloping countries camefrom another nurse workingin the SANE program.

Jackie Edinborough hadtravelled to Kenya with theChilliwack-based non-profitHungry for Life and over-heard a little girl saying herfather had told her never tosmile at a man because thatwould be asking to be raped.

Edinborough explored thetopic with a couple morekids and was soon con-vinced something needed tobe done to combat miscon-ceptions and superstitionsaround sexual assault inplaces like Kenya.

Back in Canada, Edinbor-ough, Davidson and severalother SANE nurses developeda sexual assault awareness-raising program and planneda trip of their own.

Teaming up with Hun-gry for Life, the group spentthree weeks in Kenya last fall,presenting their program toboth community leaders andkids, but they weren’t alwaysallowed to get their messageacross as directly as theywould have liked.

“We weren’t allowed toactually mention sex in mostof the communities that wetalked to,” Davidson said, “sowhat our philosophy and ourgoal was going in was to helpchildren and help teachersknow how to support chil-dren and help them believethat they are strong.”

Despite that somewhatindirect approach, however,they have learned their pre-sentations have paid off.

“Following our visit, we

were informed that a youngboy from one of the classeswe spoke to disclosed that hewas being sexually abused,”Davidson said. “The teach-ers and community that wespoke to were better ableto support this young boybecause of the education andresources we provided. Hisdisclosure encouraged sev-eral other children to comeforward, and the assailantwas arrested.”

Considering how impor-

tant it is for kids to feelempowered when it comes toescaping and reporting sexu-al abuse, Davidson said oneof the most heart-wrenchingexperiences of the Kenya tripfor her was learning manygirls there drop out of schoolwhen they start to menstru-ate because they can’t affordfeminine hygiene supplies.

When the SANE teambrought reusable sanitarynapkins to give to one school,the girls there wept with grat-itude.

“They said, ‘Now we cankeep up with the boys,’”Davidson said. “That wasquite amazing. It’s things youdon’t think about. You neverthink that something so sim-ple would prevent these girlsfrom getting an education.”

After the Kenya trip, David-son and her fellow nursesdecided to make the SANEProject, as they have dubbedtheir work, a yearly thing.

Their next trip, to Haiti, isplanned for November, whenthey will again talk to com-munity leaders and kids inan effort to raise awareness.

One important messagethey hope to drive homeis that, even with scarce

resources, communities canfind ways to support victimsand combat sexual violence.

“Just having somebodyin the community that hassome knowledge and thatcan talk to them is going toreduce the trauma to thatchild or that woman whocomes forward,” Davidsonsaid.

Although Haiti has a longhistory of sexual and gender-based violence, attitudes canchange, Davidson said—shehas seen it herself close tohome.

“Thirty years ago in Cana-da when a woman came for-ward or a child came forwardand said that they had beensexually assaulted, the firstquestion was, ‘Well, what didyou do to bring this about onyourself?’” Davidson said.“We have changed our atti-tudes in Canada, but it start-ed off slowly and it started offwith education.”◗ The SANE Project hostsa beach volleyball tourna-ment fundraiser at the Mis-sion Springs Pub Aug. 10.To enter a team (deadline isAug. 3) or donate silent auc-tion or prize items, call Lisaat 604-722-2994 or Debbieat 604-997-2379.

The City of Chilliwackhas been called “a hid-den gem” and is listed

among the top investmentcommunities in the prov-ince, according to a newreport.

The Real Estate Invest-ment Network’s (REIN) TopBritish Columbia Invest-ment Towns report issuedThursday puts Chilliwackeighth in the province.

“Chilliwack’s lower prop-erty values compared tothe Fraser Valley and LowerMainland have always beenappealing, but rents hadnot crept up for propertiesto make sense here,” saidDon R. Campbell, senioranalyst for REIN. “Investorswho know the city and dosome digging can certainlyfind cash flowing properties

here.”Previously Chilliwack had

appeared among the list of“must watch” cities for realestate investment but hadnever made the top 10 list.

The report points to anumber of other studies andstatistics, including the MayConference Board of Cana-da report entitled Mid-SizedCities Outlook 2013, whichfound Chilliwack’s annualGDP increases of 6.2 per centbetween 2005 and 2012 putit on a list of six cities that“literally roared out of thegate following the recession,expanding by more than fiveper cent in 2010 alone.”

Duncan was the only otherBritish Columbia commu-nity on that list.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz washappy to see the city’s inclu-sion on the top 10 list.

“He talked about thethings we have all knownand are working towards,”she said Thursday.

“What made me reallyexcited is that the incre-mental steps are work-ing. We formed CEPCO[ C h i l l i w a c k E c o n o m i cPartners Corporation] tolook at business attracitonand retention and he said

that is working.”While Chilliwack’s inclu-

sion on the list has to beconsidered good news, it isthird out of the four FraserValley cities. Surrey came innumber one on the REINlist. Abbotsford was twospots ahead of Chilliwack insixth and Langley was 10th.

The REIN report pointedto a number of develop-ment’s in Chilliwack as areason for inclusion on thelist, including expansion ofcommercial and industriallands along Highway 1 andthe Evans Road corridor.

Another is affordable housepricing, lower propertytaxes, access to points east,west and south, and thework done at Canada Edu-cation Park.

“Chilliwack is poised tobecome home to numer-ous post-secondary insti-tutions, which will providethe city with a continuoussupply of student renters,”the report says. “The city isexpected to see 5,000 [stu-dents] enrol at Chilliwack’sUFV campus and there is notelling how many studentswill be enrolled at variousprograms in Canada Educa-tion Park when the project iscomplete.”

The positive light on Chill-iwack comes despite thecity’s relative isolation fora city of its size. The report

implies that a transit linkto Abbotsford and beyondcould further put Chilliwack“on the map.”

“Rectifying the city’s non-connectedness to other cit-ies would be game-changingfor Chilliwack,” the reportconcludes.

For Gaetz, inclusion ona top-10 list of real estateinvestment communitiesmeans Chilliwack isn’t only agood place to buy property,it’s a good place to live, work,play and set up business.

The “surge” in residentialconstruction in recent yearshas helped to propel the cityonto the list, particularly therelatively decent reboundsince the recession.

While the report is broadlypositive, there is mention ofthe lack of revitalization inthe downtown core, whichthe author says has been left“in the realm of the disen-franchised.”

one of those cases was cleared bypolice.

VanNieuwenhuizen said there israrely a witness to arsons—which rarelyinvolve structures. After last year’s jump,the number of arsons in 2013 is down 31

per cent from last year, he said.On average, a car was stolen in Chilli-

wack every day, as 407 vehicle theftswere reported in Chilliwack in 2012.That was an increase of 12 per centover the previous year.

Police, however, found it difficultto crack those cases, with just 18 ofthose thefts solved and only six peoplecharged in connection with the reported

crimes. (Ten of the cases were “clearedotherwise,” suggesting police opted notto lay charges in those incidents).

VanNieuwenhuizen said those num-bers may reflect the fact that Mount-ies may only have sufficient evidenceto charge prolific criminals with oneor two car thefts when, in fact, theybelieve the offender to be responsiblefor many more.

The level of crime inChilliwack remainedrelatively steady in

2012, according to Statis-tics Canada figures releasedThursday.

A total of 8,446 crimi-nal code violations werereported in Chilliwack in2012, leaving the crime rateunchanged from the previ-ous year.

But while the frequencyof violent crime offencesactually dropped by threeper cent in 2012, StatisticsCanada’s crime severityindex (CSI)—which assignsweights to certain crimesbased on their serious-ness—rose by 1.78 per cent.Both the violent and non-violent CSI exhibited suchan increase.

Chilliwack’s CSI remainsw e l l a b ov e t h e Br i t i s hColumbia index—itself sig-nificantly higher than theCanadian number. The seri-ousness of crime in Chilli-wack was below that of themunicipalities of Kelowna,

Victoria and the City ofLangley.

Crime fell in a variety ofareas—particularly that ofassaults, which accounts formore than one-third of allviolent crimes committed inChilliwack.

The city saw 472 level 1assaults reported in 2012,down five per cent from theprevious year. The numberof level 2 assaults—whichfeature a weapon or bodilyharm (but aren’t considered

“aggravated”)—droppedby nearly a third, with 108reported last year.

Overall, violent crime wasdown by three per cent fromthe previous year.

Reports of impaired driv-ing also dropped by morethan a quarter from the pre-vious year, with 229 incidentsreported in 2012. Those ledto 121 charges being laid.

R C M P s p o k e s p e r s o nCpl. Len vanNieuwenhui-zen attributed the drop to

drinking-driving legislationimposed two years ago thatallows for immediate road-side prohibitions.

The total property crimerate increased by six percent. The break-and-enterrate climbed four per cent,shoplifting was up seven percent and mischief was up 12per cent.

More than 1,000 theftsfrom vehicles were reportedlast year, an increase of 14per cent. That, vanNieuwen-huizen said, underscoresthe need for residents totake care of their personalbelongings.

“We need people to bemore attentive to the factthat they can’t leave things invehicles,” he said.

In contrast to Chilliwack,the District of Kent saw an-across-the-board improve-ment in the level of crime inthat community.

Kent’s crime severity indexdropped by nearly a quarter, to84.21, lower than the provin-cial index. The violent crimeCSI dropped by more than athird, while the non-violentindex fell by 18 per cent.

Ihad to take the car (I’ve ownedit long enough for a simpledefinite article) through AirCare

this week, for the last time. It got asimple pass after they hooked upits electronic guts to a computerand determined it had been a goodlittle engine for the past two years.They printed out my pass form onthe last dot matrix printer in B.C.and sent me away.

It’s the last time I’ll have to getthe car AirCared, as the program isending as of this year.

That will feel strange. I’ve beendriving cars through AirCare test-ing bays ever since I started driv-ing. The program started in 1992,two years before I got my licence.

My cars and AirCare have sel-dom been friends. Like most of us,I owned a series of early vehiclesthat teetered on the line between“car” and “pile of rolling metal.”

My worst car was a 1988 Hyun-dai Stellar. Never heard of theStellar? That’s because of its pain-ful failure to live up to its name. Asmall four-door sedan, it’s mainselling feature was the very smallamount of money I paid for it. Ittook me to and from college andsurvived almost through a full yearof my first postschooling job.

Even before its untimely death, ithad seen the white light at the endof the tunnel a few times.

It’s most impressive near-deathexperience was its black lungdisease. Apparently, for the entirelife, the exhaust system had been

building up deposits that wereslowly choking the engine to death.

The car started losing power soslowly that I hardly noticed, untilgoing up hills was as painful as athree-pack-a-day smoker climbing10 flights of stairs.

I took the alleged car to tworepair shops.

The first one quoted me a priceof $1,300 to fix it, approximatelyfive times what I judged the car tobe worth. The next shop suggested$1,600 would be an appropriaterepair bill.

Possibly taking pity on my sadfacial expression (I was still inschool and approaching deadbroke) the fellow there suggested Itake it to Kershaw Performance, anold-school shop that still operateshere in Langley.

The Kershaw mechanic pokedhis head under the hood, said hecould maybe do something aboutit, and then took out a thin pieceof steel rod, inserted it into theengine, and whaled on it with a ballpeen hammer. After he dislodgedthe accumulated gunk, the carran for another year before it suc-cumbed to a new ailment.

They charged me $25.The Stellar’s tale was not yet over,

however. I put it up for sale, basi-cally willing to accept any offer. Afriend of a friend of a neighbourturned up and offered me $300for the barelymobile vehicle, and Itook it without haggling. He thengave me $150—all in $5 bills thatsmelled suspiciously of canna-bis—and drove it away.

After he was gone, I noticed thathe had filled out part of the transferpapers incorrectly. I tried to callhim, but for three days, he duckedmy calls, probably because hedidn’t want to pay me the remain-der of the money.

The next day, I got a call from theRCMP.

Did I know that a car registeredto me had sped away from apolice stop, run over a stop sign,and crashed into a ditch? Had thedriver, now in cells, stolen my car? Iexplained the situation, and I swearI could hear the officer on the otherend of the line roll her eyes when Imentioned the pile of $5 bills.

The car was still legally mine, shesaid, and I could come down to theimpound yard and pick it up if Iwanted to pay the fee.

Otherwise, it would be crushedinto a cube. It would cost about$150 to get it back.

I left it to its fate, and it has nowlikely been reincarnated as a crateof toasters.◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporterwith the LangleyAdvance.

Drowningsare all toocommonThere has been a spate of drownings in

recent weeks in British Columbia.So far this year, 43 people have drowned

in the province, almost twice as many as atthe same time last year.

The Lifesaving Society of B.C. and theYukon keeps track and said drowningnumbers are rising over the long term.

No one should have to avoid going toB.C.’s lakes and waterways. In addition tooffering stunning scenery and recreationopportunities, they can be vital duringhot spells and provide places for people tocool off, but B.C. lakes, rivers, creeks andwatercourses are also places where peoplecan get into trouble.

Swimming in a lake is different fromswimming in a pool. Bodies of water havetheir own currents, and lake and riverwater levels change throughout the year.The temperature of natural water bodies isusually colder, as well.

People can’t assume that, because alake site or other waterfront spot is public,there will be help at hand.

Cutbacks have meant there are fewlifeguards at public lakes and swimmingspots around B.C. And it takes time foremergency crews to get to these spots.

As has been shown, a person can drownor get into serious trouble even when sur-rounded by hundreds of people.

Often, by the time a person realizes heor she is in trouble, there is neither energynor voice to summon help.

Always use safety gear in or near water,keep the booze at home, and before anyrisky behaviours or extreme adventures,always assume you are not as good aswimmer/diver/boater as you imagine.

Editor:Dear mayor and council:

As a taxpayer I am address-ing you today to ask you torevisit the apparent decisionof someone at city hall to(reportedly) spend $2 mil-lion on the round-aboutat Tyson and Keith Wilsonroads.

$2 million! You cannot beserious. There is nothing inthis world that could justifyspending this amount ofmoney on one intersec-tion. There must be a moreaffordable alternative.

If carefree and stupidyoung people running thestop signs is the justification,then bigger stop signs couldbe a much cheaper alterna-tive. I might add that I havepersonally observed olderpeople also running thestop signs. For these folks Isuggest really big stop signs.Double the fines for thosewith Ns on their vehicles.

This money would be farmore justifiable if spent towiden the last congestedtwo-lane section of VedderRoad at the Thomas Roadintersection.

Has totally destroyinghomeowner property valueson Tyson Road become anunwritten policy of City ofChilliwack? No, I do not liveon Tyson Road and I am sureglad I don’t after the EvansRoad performance.What hasbeen done to this peacefulneighbourhood is a disgrace!And stupid. And unnecessary.

In closing I want toremind you that in the realworld, $2 million is a lot ofmoney. It is not your money.It is ours. Please do not letthis irresponsible and neg-ligent runaway project con-tinue without a severe andcompelling look at alterna-tive solutions.

Please tell me the samething is not being consid-ered at Tyson and Watson.

Richard ThompsonChilliwack

(Editor’s note: The Tysonroundabout project involestwo roundabouts: one at theTyson/Keith Wilson intersec-tion and one at the Tyson/Watson intersection.)

Roundaboutsare treacherousEditor:

Mr. Giesbrecht (“Reconsiderroundabouts” July 23, 2013Times) is spot on: I drove passthe home on KeithWilsonand Tyson whose yard isbeing expropriated, good onyou for leaving that part ofyour front yard for the city tomow. I then noticed the cityis cutting into the AgriculturalLand Reserve onWatson andTyson roads for yet anothertraffic circle. They are alsoexpropriating the MountSlesse school yard that hasgas lines and who knowswhat else.

As we were told in the arti-cle on July 18, this is going tobe a heck of a lot more costlythen expected. Duh?Ya thinkcity planner and council? Hasthis city gone circle crazy?Who is this planner that isbent on beating Abbotsfordfor the most roundabouts inthe most stupidest of places.

I would like the city council(without aid of any security)to ride a bike or try and crossthe street at the roundabouton Evans andYale RoadWestduring rush hour. It is liketaking your life in your handsand hoping for the best. Iknow, I have done it. Thattraffic circle does not evenhave the foot or bike trafficthat the corner of Tyson andWatson has due to the prox-imity of a junior high and ele-mentary school. KeithWilsonand Tyson is a very popularroad for foot traffic and bikesas well and, again, traffic cir-cles are not pedestrian or bikefriendly. They aren’t meantto be, they are meant to keeptraffic moving, which in turnmeans car has the right ofway and not the guy pushingthe baby buggy.What are youthinking city council?

And since you said it’scheaper, give us the totalcost and not a guesstimatesince you said traffic circlesare more cost effective. It wasmentioned it will cost morenow to move gas, water andelectrical lines? Not to men-tion removal of land taxesand ALR from expropriatedhome yards and fields. Isit cheaper and safer than astoplight that is triggered bytraffic or pedestrian? I doubtit, and so would the Chilli-wack taxpayers that are foot-ing the bill.Why is there nota townhall meeting on this?Why are the logging trucksand gravel trucks that use thiscorridor not considered? Onebad turn and there is a loadof logs going into someone’shome, on someone’s car orsomeone and their child.

Unneighbourlyrock practiceEditor:

Some neighbours don’tknow about considerationfor others: a dense hous-ing area is that a place for

a rock band? Amp full out,windows open, drums, gui-tar, etc. makes our houseshake so loud in our liv-ing space we cannot hearthe TV wearing earplugs.We must keep windowsclosed year round. We areretired, lived here for years.Imagine old folks enjoyinga living amidst a loud rockconcert.

We spoke to the father,asked him to tell his sonto tone it down, he didreluctantly once. Who caresabout neighbours? Askingsonny to turn down theamp or closing his windowis too much to ask I guess.Solution for you, sound-proof area.

Other neighbours arebothered, but want noinvolvement. All are sub-jected to excessive noise forhours, why? We are viewedby neighbour as cranky oldvipers. High noise level forneighbours? Who cares?Thank you so much foryour consideration, neigh-bour.

Maria BerryPromontory

Summer meansmore bicyclesEditor:

It’s summer. That meanspeople will be out andabout commuting. Vehicleseverywhere, pedestrianseverywhere. However, Iwant to remind everyoneabout bicycles.

As the gas prices have ris-en, I have taken up bikingto work and around townfor the summer. While it’scheaper, I also find it’squite dangerous as othervehicles don’t respect,or simply don’t know therules, that bicycles follow.

Please understand thatbicycles are technically avehicle and can ride onthe roads. To maintain oursafety, we are allowed toride up to a meter awayfrom the curb to keeppeople from trying to passus in the same lane. Wedo this because if we gettoo close to the curb, if avehicle tries to pass us, wemay fall off the edge or runinto the curb.

When making left turns,we will signal and get into

traffic. We will take the turnwith the other vehicleswho are also making a leftturn (in a line, of course).We will watch to make surewe aren’t pulling in at anunsafe distance, but wewill pull in, so please doa favour and watch for ustoo.

If it’s dark, and two bik-ers are biking, we are ableto take up a whole lane. Wewill have lights, so pleasepass us as you would anyother vehicle.

It is about safety. Pleasewatch for us bikers! Wewant to share the roadswith you.

Please visit www.icbc.com/news/2011may26-04for an ICBC notice on help-ing keep bicycle riders safe(for vehicle drivers andbicyclists).

Amazing andhonest peopleEditor:

I find the people fea-tured in the Times’ articlesinteresting. There is thesex offender who looks somiserable, then the mom ofthe year nominee Susie V.who looks so happy with herlovely daughter, Holli.

There is no picture of thebank robber, but I imaginehe looks pretty miserabletoo. Just goes to say a lifea crime doesn’t pay; it justmakes everyone includingyourself miserable.

There are people whomake our community abetter place and those whomake it worse. We choosewhich one we want to be.There are a lot of goodpeople in Chilliwack. To theperson who returned mystolen purse and all of youout there who are makingChilliwack a better place byvolunteering and/or justgenerally being decent andhonest, thank you so much.Life is so much more pleas-ant for everyone when ourcommunity is safe.

Horse poop onthe Rotary TrailEditor:

What’s with the horsepoop on the Vedder RiverRotary Trail?

Over the five kilometresbetween the three- andeight-kilometre markers[I found] at least 90 horsepoop piles to avoid step-ping into. That’s 18 pooppiles per kilometre. Notnice.

On deck

BY TYLER [email protected]

The Valley Huskers opened theirseason Saturday with a bang.

The thing about bangs,though, is they don’t last very long.

On their opening possession, theHuskers drove 92 yards through theOkangan Sun defence en route to aDanton Nagorski rushing touchdownand a 7-0 lead.

It was an exciting start to a year dur-ing which the Huskers franchise hopesto find respectability. But the ensuingthree quarters showed there is muchwork to be done. The Sun took overthe game and led 37-10 at halftime,with kicker Daniel Erickson scoring theHuskers’ last points of the game on a36-yard field goal. The final score was65-10.

Huskers head coach Tyson St. James

said once things started going wrongfor Valley in the second quarter, theproblems—andthemiscues—seemedto snowball.

“We had a couple real big mistakeson the field and all of a sudden ourguys get back to last year or the yearbefore,” he said. “A couple of mistakeshappened and all of a sudden it kindof steamrolled, and it seemed like wecouldn’t get back from that.”

Those mistakes also underscoredthe fact that the Huskers remain ayoung team that is still rebuilding. Butdespite the outcome, St. James said hesaw plenty of bright spots.

“I was really happy with a lot ofthings,” he said. St. James said he saw“a lot more progress than we were ableto make last year at this time.”

Defensive coverage was a big prob-lem, but one that St. James said canbe fixed. And bad snaps frequently

put the offence in a bind—the finalscoresheet saw the Huskers fumblingthe ball eight times, four of which wererecovered by the opposition.

Otherwise, St. James said, the Husk-ers offence showed plenty of spark.

In his first full game behind centrein the league, receiver-turned-quar-terback Cody Parray completed 17 of22 passes. Most were of the shortervariety—Parray finished with 96 yardspassing. But the overall performanceleft his coach pleased.

“Cody had a real good game. I’mreally encouraged by his poise inthere and what he brings to the team,”St. James said. “The guys really rallyaround him and I’m excited to seewhat he’s able to do this season.”

Ty DeRayos led all receivers with 40yards on eight catches. And runningback Josh Hayden had a good game,finishing with 75 yards on nine carries.

The Huskers will play their homeopener this Saturday at 1 p.m. atTownsend Park against the KamloopsBroncos. (The Huskers’ normal homeat Exhibition Field has been dug up toallow for the installation of turf).

The hosts should have a chance atevening their record. Last season, theHuskers beat Kamloops in their finalgame. And the Broncos suffered asimilarly difficult start to their season,falling 51-0 to the Langley Rams.

If the Huskers can make their oppo-nents work for their points, they’llhave a shot at extending their homewinning streak to two games.

“We’re working on the film rightnow, evaluating what personnel wewant to have on the field, and elimi-nating the mistakes because we’re giv-ing away points that I don’t think arenecessarily being earned by the otherteam,” St. James said.

Gary Nylander/The Daily Courier

Husker running back Ty DeRayos looks for an opening during first quarter BCFC action at the Apple Bowl during the Okanagan Sun’s home opener Saturday.

Huskers’ super start fizzles fast to the Sun

Memorial Gym at the same time) was oncethe envy of high schools everywhere.

“It was a beautiful, beautiful gym—for thetime,” CSS gym teacher and alumnus JoeOgmundson told the Times. “It became thebiggest, dustiest old dump after a while.”

The gym was named after longtime CSSprincipal Jim Halcrow, an influential educa-tor not just in Chilliwack but provincially aswell.

During his 43-year education career, Hal-crow was principal at CSS from 1955-1977and a founder of the BC Principals’ and VicePrincipals’ Association.

He’d been offered the post of superin-tendent at plenty of B.C. school districts,

according to his son, Dale Halcrow (also aprincipal at CSS from 1989-2002), but that’snot where he felt he belong.

“He didn’t want to leave the school; hedidn’t want to leave the kids,” Halcrowsaid.

After his retirement, staffat CSS initiated the idea ofnaming the gym after him.

What will happen to thatname now is unclear.

There are rules aroundnaming buildings and partsof buildings in Chilliwackschool board policy, and notall the names that have beenassigned to parts of CSS havefollowed those rules.

“I think the Jean KeithLibrary was the only one thatwas officially named,” Ogmundson said, “sothe new library will also be the Jean KeithLibrary. But I don’t know if the J.Y. HalcrowGymnasium was officially named that and,

therefore, I don’t know that it’ll be officiallynamed that when we move over there. Itprobably should be.”

Although he said he wouldn’t be outragedif the name was lost, the younger Halcrowwould like to see his father’s name live on at

the school.“Just because the build-

i n g c h a n g e s d o e s n’tnecessarily mean all his-tory goes out the door,”he said.

“I live on Keith WilsonRoad. I don’t even knowwho Keith Wilson was,but it’s always going tobe Keith Wilson Roadbecause someone decid-ed to name it after thatperson.”

Officials would have two gyms to choosefrom if they decided to keep the name.

The new Chilliwack secondary will havetwo new gyms, each with two main basket-

ball courts and four smaller cross courtOther sporty additions include a new

weight room with aerobics machines andareas for free weights, a fitness room fordance classes, an outdoor basketball court,four new tennis courts and a new lit artifi-cial-turf field.

“The facility is state-of-the-art; it reallyis,” said Ogmundson, “and that’s good forus. We’ve had an overused facility and we’vebeen under-resourced for so long we’vealmost gotten used to it.”

“Just because thebuilding changesdoesn’t necessarilymean all history goesout the door.”

Dale Halcrow CorrectionIn an article in the July 25 Times, it was

reported that Mayor Sharon Gaetz, Chilli-wack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness and for-mer MLA Gwen O’Mahony took part in theJuly 20 Chilliwack-Vedder Cleanup. Thethree politicians were actually in attendancefor the society’s first cleanup of the year inApril.

Seniors in Agassiz can nowdrop by their local legion

to learn basic computer skills.The Royal Canadian Legion

No. 32 in Agassiz has launcheda pilot program called theLifelong Learning Centrewith computer equipmentfrom Computers For Schools(CFS), a federal non-profitthat collects used computersfrom government and busi-ness and refurbishes them forschools and other non-profitorganizations.

Thanks to CFS, the legionnow has two Dell Latitudelaptops with Windows 7 andMicrosoft Office, along with alaser printer, set up in its clubroom to give adult learnersin the community a chanceto try their hand at computerbasics.

“This will allow older peo-ple to learn and get comfort-able with the technology,”CFS program consultant San-dy Balascak said. “It’s an eco-nomical way to help peopleto learn the technology in acomfortable environmentwithout having to attend reg-ular classes.”

With the computers inplace, the legion is now look-ing for volunteer tutors willingto spend some time help-

ing adult computer newbiesalong.

Balascak hopes otherlegions around the provincetake up the Agassiz modeland make use of CFS’s servic-es, which would cost them nomore than $200 to $300 for asimilar setup.

Since 1994, CFS’s mandatehas been to provide increasedaccess for students and learn-ers of all ages to computertechnology.

It refurbishes and redistrib-utes thousands of computersin B.C. every year, extending,and often doubling, the lifespan of computer electronics,thus significantly eliminatinge-waste in landfills.

It also puts good usedcomputers into the hands ofschools and other organiza-tions that wouldn’t otherwisebe able to afford them, saidBalascak, who is also the prin-cipal of the Agassiz Centre forEducation, a Fraser-Cascadeschool district alternativeschool.◗ For more information onCFS, including how to buy ordonate equipment, visit www.cfsbc.ca.
